A new case in a new city, but the flight gets a little interesting... Enjoy!
POV- Dr. Darwin
It didn't take long to get used to the BAU hours, and since I barely get sleep anyway, it didn't really matter. So now, on the plane, going to Nebraska, at 3:45 am, and while the rest of my team snored away, I was wide awake.
When I came to join my new team, my old boss let me know that I still had to be an on-call consultant when my schedule let me. So there I was, reading a few new cases, instead of sleeping, because that would be ridicules.
After typing something down, I heard a strange gulping/snoring noise coming from the person sleeping across from me.
"Why are you still up," Spencer asked in his sleepy voice. Looking over my glasses I shrugged and said "needed to get something's done, didn't have the time to sleep." This seemed to confuse him, because he had his confused face, which I was getting used to.
"You schedule in your rest," he asked, which I just laughed at. I couldn't help but say, "With all the shit I have to do, I might get 2 hours a sleep every couple days." Coming around the table, Reid sat next to me and looked over my cases.
"Consulting still," he asked, grabbing my laptop. Smacking his arm lightly I read over his shoulder as he started doing my job.
"I don't think you're supposed to be doing that," I said as he started typing. Looking down at me he said "they won't be able to tell, you get some sleep." Reaching over he took my glasses off and placed them on the table. Sighing I knew there was no point of arguing, so I just pulled the pillow up from my lap and placed it against the wall of the plane, trying to get some actual sleep.
POV- Dr. Reid
Continuing Leigh's work, I couldn't help but look over at her. Seconds after closing her eyes, she passed out cold. Sleeping only for 2 hours at a time is dangerous; I don't know how she survives.
Why is she working so much? Is she distracting herself from something, or is trying not to have a personal life? It just doesn't make any sense.
Looking back down at the computer, I felt Leigh move. Shifting in her spot, her head ended up on my shoulder, and her arm around my waist. Looking down at her again, I couldn't help but see the bliss in her face. The pure harmony clouding her face, it was so amazing.
Closing the lap top, I couldn't help but wrap my arm around her and got comfortable; deciding that there is a time and a place for work, and now is not the time.
Awe, I love Dr. Reid. He's so clueless, but sometimes, he knows. Do you want the next case to impact our heroine, and what kind of impact?
