I own nothing...
lets see where the boys are shall we?
Reid, review, enjoy.
Morgan grits his teeth as he stares up at Reid. He catches sight of the sickly black and blue ring of bruise that is not quite covered by his collar.
"Reid!" Garcia lets out a happy noise; Morgan and Reid never break eye contact.
Garcia frowns slightly.
"You want to be alone?" She asks and Reid nods. Morgan makes a squeak in protest, but both Garcia and Reid shoot him down with a look. Not that he had a choice to begin with.
Garcia gets off her chair and stoops to kiss Morgan on the head.
"You'll be fine." She whispers, and he gives her a small smile and a hug.
She walks out, ruffling Reid's hair on the way.
Morgan sighs as he drags his gaze back to Reid.
"A-are you cleared for work?" Morgan's voice is shaky at best.
Reid quirks a brow, a small smile on his face. He pulls out a pen and pad from his satchel.
I'm a doctor.
Morgan snorts a bit, pulling himself off the floor.
"Pretty Boy are you okay?" Morgan's voice is soft as he tucks his hands under his arms.
Reid stares at Morgan for a second, that smile collapsing as he scribbles.
You...you're avoiding me.
Morgan's brow furrows deep.
"It's not like that, kid. It's just...I-" Morgan shuts his eyes, taking a stuttering breathe.
"I wasn't there when it really counted." Morgan's shoulders slump as he tries to control the anger bubbling up to the surface Reid jerks in surprise.
Reid throws a bewildered look Morgan's way.
"I'm supposed to protect you, and I didn't." Morgan's voice is broken.
Reid scribbles-
It's not you responsibility to protect me.
Morgan whips his head up from the note.
"It's my fault..." Morgan chokes out. "I could have sto-" Morgan's words are bitter, hard.
Reid puts the pen down, sliding his arms around Morgan, he rests his chin in the hollow of Morgan's neck. He closes his eyes as Morgan slides his hand to the small of Reid's back.
Reid makes a small noise and Morgan pulls back.
Reid looks up and frowns hard, reaching to place Morgan's hands back where they were.
"Reid?" Morgan questions as Reid settles again.
Reid sighs, grabbing the notebook behind Morgan and writes furiously.
It doesn't matter. Just knowing you were there kept me alive. You don't have to protect me, but it's nice to know that someone's there for me, always. Even if they don't feel like just being there is enough- it is. Thank you.
Reid studies Morgan's face as he reads the note. Morgan holds back the conflicting emotions threatening to spill over.
On one hand he wants to tear himself apart with guilt. Another, he wants to cup Reid's face, nuzzle the soft skin between his ear and jaw.
"I'm just happy you're safe kid." Morgan's voice rasps.
I'm happy you're here. Reid retorts, as he bites his bottom lip in contemplation.
"What's wrong." Morgan asks, eyes steadily searching Reid's.
Reid shakes his head; tears pin-pricking his eyes.
I almost lost you.
His scrawl is shaky as his hands tremor.
"Is it selfish for me to say the same thing ?" Morgan whispers. He shakes his head ruefully."Kid, do you know that you're third on my speed dial, my Mom's first, J.J second, then you."
Really? Reid's eyes seemed to say.
Morgan nods.
"I-I couldn't see a world without you Reid."Morgan places his hand on Reid's face, stroking his thumb along Reid's jaw.
Reid closes his eyes, blissfully aware of Morgan's presence as he hovers between indecision.
Morgan kisses Reid on the cheek, feather touch, and a warm smile spreads on Reid's lips.
Reid looks up to see Morgan smiling as well.
"Reid, I-"
Reid places a hand up to pause Morgan. Morgan holds his breath as Reid writes. He takes the paper from Reid's hand.
Do you like me,like me? Check yes or no.
Morgan chuckles, taking the pen from Reid's hand.
He slips the paper back to Reid, who makes a happy noise.
Yes.
Will you be my boyfriend? Check yes or no.
Reid nods, kissing Morgan sweetly on the cheek. He slips his fingers through Morgan's, reveling in the feeling of warm skin against skin.
"So, I have a boyfriend then?" Morgan holds his breathe as Reid eyes laugh. Reid bumps Morgan in the shoulder, silly grin contagious.
He takes the pen and checks yes.
I could go for some jell-o. You?
Morgan laughs as Reid pulls him out Garcia's room, off to scare up some jell-o.
