500 Days of Spencer.

Day (433)

Thank God

Spencer snapped his head up when he noticed the presence in the doorway, and felt his heart speed up when he saw the doctor there.

"Derek Morgan?" He called, and the team stood up. "All of you?"

"Yes." Rossi said quickly, and Spencer's heart sped up as the doctor looked at the clipboard in front of him.

"Derek was in a traffic collision late yesterday night-"

"Yeah, we know. Is he going to be okay?" Penelope interrupted, and the doctor raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. We had to close a gash on his chest during surgery, and put a rod in his leg to aid the bone in healing properly, but other than that and a concussion, he'll be fine." The doctor said, and Spencer felt euphoria fill him up.

"When can we see him?" He blurted out, and ignored the looks he got from both those who did and didn't know about their ruined relationship. Everyone knew they were in a fight.

"Now, but only one at a time, he's a little out of it at the moment." The doctor said, and smiled lightly.

"Room 307." He added, and billowed out of the room.

The team all looked at each other, and then turned to Garcia, who was looking at Spencer. She was his Baby Girl after all.

"Go." Reid told her, and she nodded sadly, before leaving the room in search of Derek.

Spencer sat down on a chair, and Hotch stood up, announcing that he was going to get more coffee, which Reid had actually never done. He was in such a haze... Rossi followed him and Jack, relieved that Morgan would be alright.

JJ immediately saw Spencer staring at his hands and sat beside him, putting a motherly arm around his back. Emily, who seemed to sense a private moment, gave them a questioning, slightly excluded look, but left.

"He's okay Spence. Relax." She said in a soothing voice, but it didn't help.

"I know that. I'm not deaf." He said, maybe a little too harshly. She obviously wasn't hurt by it though, and continued to rub his back.

"I lost it back at Emily's house. I...I couldn't stop crying, and I was so scared and..." He trailed off to sniff back a sob.

"It's okay Spencer, you had every right to cry. Look at everything you two went through together; you have a bond that a breakup isn't going to sever." She explained, and he leant his head on her shoulder.

"But that's just it JJ. This hurt me so much. Not because of our bond, or whatever else you think. It's because...It's because I know he's over it and he's fine but I'm not. I'm not." He admitted, and she held him tighter.

"That's not a bad thing." She assured, him, but he pulled away to look at her.

"I still love him Jayje. I shouldn't, but I do." He said, and watched as her mouth made a little 'o' and then formed a small smile.

Reid waited anxiously beside the door of room 307, and could hear Penelope flirt with Derek playfully about his condition. She may have been happy, but Spencer's stomach began to freeze over in worry.

Morgan wouldn't want to see him. Not after what had happened. They barely made eye contact anymore. Well, on purpose that was. They barely said two words to each other. And now he was going to go in and see him?

But he couldn't just...not.

Suddenly, Garcia popped her head out of the room, and saw him there. She smiled giddily, as per usual, and left after patting him on the shoulder. He took a deep breath, and attempted to steady his nerves. But apparently his nerves wanted to make this difficult for him.

Without a second thought, her made his legs move and walked into the room silently. Pain hit him when he saw Morgan lying in the hospital bed, his leg in a cast, bruises on his cheeks, and gauze absolutely everywhere. Okay, that was an exaggeration. It was just on his head, arm and visible under his gown. But it was enough to bring tears to Reid's eyes.

"Hi." He stuttered out nervously, and Morgan looked over to see him standing there, hands in his pockets, eyes red.

"Uh...hey." Morgan said awkwardly, and raised an eyebrow at him.

"So...you really scared the shit out of me." Spencer admitted, and walked a little closer to Morgan. The man didn't look away from him. Actually, it was like he couldn't look away.

"Yeah. Sorry about that. You can freak on me like Penelope did if you want." Derek said, a ghost of a smirk on his lips.

"Oh, I'm sure she did enough of that for all of us." Reid said, a real smile forming on his lips.

"You've got that right." Morgan chuckled, but it didn't reach his eyes.

"Look...I'm...sorry about how weird things have been between us since...you know." Reid said, and looked at the floor.

He was hoping to god that Derek would accept the apology.

"I'm sorry too. It hasn't been easy." The other man said, and Reid looked up to make eye contact warily, it seeming like the first time in forever.

"Can we...can we just get along again? Like, not be awkward? I miss being able to actually say two words to you." Reid said quietly. Inside his mind, he worried about the answer.

"I thought you'd never ask, Genius." Derek said with a genuine smile, and Reid couldn't help but mirror him.

"Thank god." He said, and visibly relaxed, dropping his shoulders.

For a little while, Reid simply sat in the chair beside Derek's bed and did nothing. They both enjoyed the comfortable silence, just for the fact that it was comfortable, and not awkward. He had really missed this.

"Well, I'd better let Emily in here before she drags me out." Spencer said with a smirk, and stood up.

"Tell Penelope to go home, she needs her beauty sleep." Derek said, and looked him in the eye, a nice change.

"Ouch, she'll take that the wrong way." Reid said, and realized a second too late he had just flirted with his ex boyfriend.

But apparently, he hadn't noticed.

"Then rephrase it Spencer." Morgan said with a laugh, and looked at him lightly.

Reid, not knowing why, grabbed Morgan's limp hand, and squeezed it tightly, ignoring the electricity he felt.

"Don't you ever do this to me again, got it?" He said, and tried to pretend he couldn't feel the romantic tension between them. It was over, after all.

"Promise."

There, a good finish to this little two part?

More to come!

REVIEW GUYS! PLEASE!
