A/N: Okay, so have you seen the movie, "Howl"? It's about censorship and homosexuality and a poem called Howl by Alan Ginsberg. James Franco portrays Ginsberg. It's a wonderful movie in its own right, but there are a few touching, tender moments between Franco as Ginsberg and a couple of his co-stars as he deals with his sexuality and the repression of the times. Well, of course, that got me thinking about, yes, Morgan and Reid! (And, Hotch, too.)

So, this is the first of three short fics which are scenes from the movie, but with "our" boys. This one is "Morning." The next one is titled "Caught" and is Hotch/Reid. The third is called "We Slept" and is a bit longer, first person POV with Reid and Morgan-so if you're interested, look for those as well.

And, I own nothing and no one from Criminal Minds or Howl-this is just for fun, no money is made, etc., etc.

Thanks, babes!

Morgan stepped out of the shower, put on his bathrobe, then returned to his bedroom and looked at the bed. Rumpled, disheveled, a testament to activities hosted there the night before.

In it was Reid-asleep, lying naked under a thin cotton sheet revealing only outlines below his bare chest. Soft morning light fell on honey-brown curls, illuminated lithe muscles, jutting bone, creamy skin. Full lips slightly parted, dark lashes, arched brows.

All innocence.

All-knowing.

Morgan regarded him for a moment. He reached for his camera and snapped pictures in rapid succession, then set the camera aside. Too tempting, the young man in his bed.

He let the robe fall from his shoulders. He stepped to the foot of the bed, raised the sheet and crept under. Reid awakened-a soft laugh, then a warm hand on Morgan's head that slid behind his neck and down his back as he slithered upward.

Morgan kissed fevered skin, leaving love bites on his way, then lapped at a nipple. Suddenly, the sheet was yanked back and he saw his lover's welcoming smile.

Reid wrapped his arms around him and Morgan took his place on top of the slender body, between eagerly parted thighs.

They kissed.
