I own nothing…
I don't know what this is. It snowed a couple of days ago- just a dusting…and this has been swirling in my head for a couple of days.
R/R/E
Morgan stares at the hotel's ceiling, connecting the speckled dots on the tiles. Reid's curled next to him-why did they get the single bed again?
Not that they have a problem with it- they don't even bother asking for a cot or offer to sleep in the chair anymore.
And he wonders if they are normal.
His mind won't shut off for the life of him; he wonders if is this is what Reid feels like on a daily basis.
And maybe it's just the proximity of their bodies, the warmth exuding from Reid as he shifts that much closer to Morgan.
Morgan hums; just for the moment he pretends that this is normal; that he belongs to Reid and Reid to him.
He curses his heart to pieces as it aches with each shuttering beat. And he realizes that it's hard to breath with all this disappointment that looms over him, coming with the rising dawn.
He shivers as he slides out of bed, conscious not to wake Reid- he makes his way to the window.
The pane is bitterly cold against his forehead as he stares at the streetlamp- orange orbs illuminated in the pitch of night- the first hint of snow swirling in a gentle dance as the touch down. They dissolve into nothing as their bodies lay atop one another.
Reid would love this.
Morgan stands there in his sleep pants lost in thought as the snow falls, taking no note of him.
"Derek?" Morgan turns as he hears the slight panic in Reid's voice- the rustling of the sheets.
"I'm right here Kid." Morgan's voice full, low- tinged with the hurt he couldn't cover if he tried.
"Oh-sorry. I wasn't sure…"
"It's alright Pretty Boy, go back to sleep." Morgan watches in the limited light as Reid sighs, resting his head back onto the pillow- drifting back to sleep.
"Goodnight Pretty Boy." Morgan murmurs as he turns back to the window, watching the snow fall.
A/N:
It's getting increasingly harder to remember why I should get out of bed.
Someone neglected to tell me that life was going to be this hard.
Anywho- enough with my yapping and complaining— I hope everyone has a nice holiday. :D
