Here's anoher! Two in one day! I feel accomplished!
I still don't own Criminal Minds, though I did ask Santa for my very own Spencer Reid for Christmas!
Alright, Here you go!
S is for Spiders
"Derek!" A shriek comes from the hallway, snapping Morgan out of his half-asleep state of consciousness. He leapt from the couch and follows the voice through the house.
"Spencer?" He calls out, and a muffled "I'm in here!" comes from the stairway leading to the attic. Morgan walks up slowly, coughing as the dampness hit him.
"Over here!" Reid squealed, and Morgan turned to see the genius huddled in the corner, back pressed tightly against the wall.
"What are you doing, Pretty Boy?" Morgan asked, walking towards him. Reid shuddered and squeaked again, while pointing at something invisible about a foot in front of him. Morgan stepped forward and squinted at the air in front of him, before pulling back and laughing.
"A Spider?" Morgan barked a laugh as the little insect climbed up the strand of web hanging from the ceiling, stopping at Spencer's eye level. Reid whimpered again, and shot a glare at Derek, who was clutching his chest in laughter.
"C'mon, genius." Morgan laughed, scooping up the spider in his hand and leading it up towards the small window of the attic, where it scurried into hiding. "You gotta know that most spiders aren't poisonous." Reid took a shaky breath before moving awkwardly out of the corner he had wedged himself into.
"Yes, but the black widow and the brown recluse are the two most commonly poisonous spiders, and I didn't have my glasses on, and I couldn't make out if there was a marking on it's abdomen or not." Reid babbled, a blush creeping up his neck while Morgan shook his head, chuckling.
"And you also know that fewer than 1% of black widow bites are deadly, therefore there was no need to panic."
"But the brown recluse bites often go unnoticed, but after about twelve hours feverish symptoms start to appear, an-" Reid was silenced with a soft kiss from Morgan.
"Its ok, Pretty Boy," Derek said, still leaning into Spencer. "If you need more rescuing from evil spiders, your handsome Knight in Shining Armor will be down the hall, making dinner." And with that he left, leaving Reid with more of an appreciation for Spiders.
