A/N: A sequel of sorts to Prompt 51: Water. Not necessary to read first, but will probably make more sense if you do.
Prompt 72: Fixed (Morgan/Reid)
"There you go, all fixed."
Reid pauses in his continuous stream of facts about water. "Already? Wow, you're better than my handyman."
Morgan snorts. "I'll keep that in mind if this FBI gig ever falls through. Mind helping me up?"
Complying, "Cheaper, too."
"I'm all wet."
"It's a good look for you."
"Ya know, I didn't have to fix that leak for you. I could've just left you to deal with it on your own."
"But you wouldn't have. The leak is entirely your fault, anyway, and you know it as well as I do."
"Oh? I fail to follow your logic."
"Sure. I mean, that pipe didn't start leaking until after you started staying the night here occasionally, so naturally whatever caused it must be of your doing."
Morgan stares. "And that's your expert, genius opinion?"
"Hardly expert, but yes, that is my 'genius' opinion."
"Well, you have a scientific, analytical mind. You know the only reasonable option, don't you?"
"What's that?"
"We have to form a scientific experiment in order to qualify or disqualify your hypothesis. So what I'll do is I'll stop coming around and staying the night, and then if the leak doesn't reappear, I'll try coming around again in a couple of months or so, and see if it does then."
"A couple of – what – but – Morgan? Derek? I didn't mean it, okay? The leak wasn't your fault! I was just teasing."
Chuckling, "But of course, this experiment won't keep you from coming over to my place."
Dumbfounded, Reid pauses. "Ah. I knew that."
