A/N: Yes I am back and I'm alive! Although I guess that should have been said the other way otherwise it's a little redundant....Anyway though I'm back and I've brought goodies! Recently I've discovered the delicious yumminess of Morgan and Reid from Criminal Minds (I've loved both of them forever but it just dawned on me like a week ago when I was watching the episode that the first line actually came from how much they would be perfect together because of how close they actually are). Since then I've not only read about thirty stories of them together (no joke although most of them were only like 200 words each on average and lovingly written by CatherineWinner - check them out! oh and also check out the one's done by Elissa-Dido....they're good....) but the line that cause the epiphany also sparked those stupid idea bunnies back to life in my head so I wrote this little thing...whatever you want to call it...anyway on to the story cause this is getting long...like always please read and review...
Disclaimer: Yeah we know I don't own anything otherwise I'd just be reading and not writing this stuff....well I would be but I'd be doing it professionally....
"You're the only one I told dude. I trusted you! This is what happens when I trust people…It just blows up in my face."
Those words had been running through his mind since he had said them and he wished they would stop. He wished he'd never said them.
Especially not to the one whom he cared about the most.
"Morgan, can I talk to you?"
"Yeah kid, what is it?"
"I meant in private."
Morgan nodded and they moved over to an unused conference room.
"So what'd you want to talk about?"
He took a breath and made the plunge. "It's about what I said to you the other night. When I blew up at you after finding out you told Gideon and Hotch about my nightmares. I just wanted to say I really am sorry for it. It's just…I don't trust too many people with personal information like that and you were just trying to help."
"Hey Reid, man I'm the one who should be saying sorry. You trusted me with something very personal and I broke that trust. I really care about you Reid."
Reid blinked once and was just dumbstruck for a moment. Morgan continued.
"You're closer to me than almost anyone else I can think of. At first it started just how it should of. You were the new guy on the team and then you became a friend. Now you're closer to me than that. I think I love you man and I'm pretty sure you do to. You let me into your head and your little space of trust. I know you man and you wouldn't do that for just anyone."
Morgan smiled as he saw Reid blush lightly confirming what he said was true.
"Actually I do. I'm just surprised you feel the same. I mean you flirt with Garcia all the time and you're always going after and are around attractive women."
"So? Garcia was the first person I told about my feelings for you. She got all excited and started mumbling something about how she wants to be a fly on the wall of that bedroom." He laughed. "Ah, good old Garcia."
Reid swallowed and inched forward. "So what do we do now?"
"Why don't we start with dinner tonight, if we don't get called away first."
"Sure." Reid said and smiled.
