Chapter 10

"It is okay to do it now or maybe later?" Morgan asked, looking at Nurse Sophie. "I don't want him to wake up."

"Don't worry, it's just a simple procedure." Sophie said as she prepared a basin and a clean wash cloth. "Come, let me teach you, then you can do it for him by yourself when he is discharged."

"Okay, " Morgan moved nearer to the sleeping form of Reid. "What should I do?"

"Well, cleaning stitches is easy. First you need to fill the basin with distilled water and don't forget to add a small amount of mild antibacterial soap to form a sudsy mix. Then soak the wash cloth but make sure it is just damp." Sophie informed before she moved closer to Reid.

She took the old bandage covering Reid's forehead out, revealing the stitches Reid received for cut on his forehead. "Gently wash the area around but be careful not to pull the sutures with the washcloth." Sophie further instructed as she she showed to Morgan.

"Pat the area dry with a soft towel. Then, place the appropriate size bandage over the wound and secure with surgical tape." Sophie finished and turned back to Morgan "the sutures should typically be cleaned twice a day, do you want to try with the stitches on his shoulders?"

"I want to but I think I wait until he wakes up."

Sophie smiled. "You're really a good friend." She smiled again before handing over the bandages and walked out the room.

"Just let me know if in case I hurt you, okay?" Morgan asked before he cleaned the stitches on Reid's shoulders.

"I am sure you won't." Reid smiled for some encouragement. "Derek, can do something for me?"

"What do you want?" Morgan asked when he saw much upset voice coming from Reid.

"I really want get out from here. It's driving me crazy. Please, ... just bring me back home."

Two days later

"Someone is having some real fun." Morgan said as he walked to his living room with cups in his hands.

Reid was laying on the couch, with pillow to support his back, Clooney was laying beside him with its head on Reid's stomach.

"Are you trying to steal my friend from me?" Morgan asked, pointing towards Clooney as he handed over a cup of hot soup to Reid.

"Something is surely wrong, he likes me." Reid mumbled as he patted Clooney's head.

"Everyone likes you."

"Not everyone, you don't know how was my childhood like." Reid spoke as he changed the channel on the television.

"You might had a very bad childhood but not anymore, you have a loving family beside you, hope you realize that."

"I know but it is kind of weird ..."

"What could be possible weird about being loved?" Morgan raised his eyebrows.

"All my life, I was on my own, I literally took care of myself, now, knowing I need help, I feel so guilty when you help me. It's feel like I don't deserve any of this."

"Kid, you deserve better than any of this and you got nothing to be guilty about, okay? You're a such wonderful being, I would give anything away to have you as my friend."

"Do you really mean that?" Reid asked like a kid.

"Of course, I mean it, Kid." Morgan went and kneel beside Reid when he saw tears in the corner of Reid's eyes.

"I am sorry." Reid quickly apologized as he wiped his tears.

"Always remember this, Spencer. No matter what happens, you will always have me, well I might not be some easy person to be around with, I play prank on you, yell at you, slip my paperwork on your stack, almost killed you, but there is not been a day where I have never been thankful for having you as my friend."

Reid's was basically speechless, he never expected such answer from anyone towards him, especially Morgan.

Both was staring at each other, exchanging their friendship with pure silent when Clooney decided otherwise. Reid flinched when Clooney barked loudly.

"Clooney!" Morgan called before he turned back towards Reid. "Still having some sensitivity towards sudden noise?"

"A bit." Reid said, massaging his temple. "A crazy headache."

"Come here." Morgan sat on the edge of the couch and took Reid's head in his hands. Placing both his hand on each side of Reid's head, Morgan started to slowly massage.

Reid couldn't help but to lean into the touch. It was so soothing after a long day suffering from headache. The fatigue was too much that Reid unconsciously bend forward and leaned on Morgan's shoulders.

"Kid?" Morgan called gently.

"I think he is out, Clooney, so be quiet."

Morgan readjusted himself, he made sure that Reid's head was comfortable on his shoulders, before, he gently slipped his hand around Reid's hip. Morgan scooped Reid, carrying him in a bridal style. Morgan walked to the room, carrying Reid followed by Clooney. Morgan gently placed Reid on the bed and wrapped a blanket around him. Morgan smiled when he remembered the first time he meet Reid and how much memories they carry through the relationship they share.
