Discs.: I don't own Criminal Minds nor its characters...
A/N: I rewrote this because I wanted to make it more clearly...
Broken
Prologue
Hotch watched them talking – again. Of course he had found out about it already a while ago and it was unbelievable painful for him to know the real truth…
Flashback, a week earlier :
He saw Morgan kissing her – and it was hurting him, because he knew about the betrayal this specific interaction meant…But he couldn't do anything against it – she was out of his reach for so many reasons…So he kept silent about what he had observed – it wasn't his business after all, not his place to judge.
End flashback
(Change of POV)
She was once again waiting for him. She wasn't in love with him, but she hated being alone...Especially after a tough case. Some poeple drank to distract them, some people took a hot bubble-bath, others had meaningless sex - she had tried all of it, none of it worked really efficient.
So she had settled for him – to not being alone…That was the only thing that helped forgetting. But every time he was lying next to her at night, her mind was wandering – and she regretted the decision she had made a few months ago after a particular difficult case, because even though she didn't love him she still cared about him and she didn't want to lose that...
(Change to the original POV)
Another week had passed and it had come like it had to come : She had found out the truth…He had seen them talk and she'd been crying.
They were holding each other in a close embrace, while Morgan was trying to ease her pain. He put some space between them, cupped her face with one of his hands, the other one remained on her hip and while her hands were still resting on his waist she looked up at him. Morgan caressed her cheek and said something to her, after a moment she nodded and he gave her a soft kiss onto the forehead.
It was breaking his heart – which was supposed to belong to someone else than her. She was heart broken. He should have told her the truth, but he hadn't…
Now the only thing he was able to do for her was being there, picking up the pieces of her broken heart and helping her with putting them back together…
