I OWN NOTHING.
Mellow...DRAMATIC!
YES?
I'm trying to figure out where this is taking me.
Hotch gives Morgan a look as Morgan and Reid board the jet together.
'Is everything alright?' It seemed to ask.
Morgan gives a small shake of the head as Reid makes his way to the loveseat. He scrunches into the tightest ball. Morgan's face pulls in concern as he settles next to Reid.
J.J. And Prentiss both glance their way as they take seats. Rossi's seated as well.
Morgan pulls a blanket from the overhead compartment positions them until Reid's comfortably tucked against him.
"Morgan, I'm sorry fo-" Reid croaks.
"Pretty Boy, you have nothing to apologize for." Morgan gives Reid a tight lipped smile. Reid blinks sleepily.
"Just rest, and I'll wake you when we land." Morgan whispers.
"Thanks." Reid murmurs as he curls into Morgan. Morgan nods, securing his arms around Reid. Reid drifts off into restless sleep- body ticking and twitching all the while. Every once and a while Morgan would run a hand over Reid's arm or through Reid's hair and he would calm, if only for those few seconds.
'Pretty Boy, what's eating you?' Morgan thinks as they barrel their way towards home.

"Morgan can you at least look at me?" Reid's voice trembles as Morgan slowly turns.
"Morgan?" Reid's voice is tinny, small as Morgan grimaces.
"Reid, I can't-" Morgan sighs at Reid's obtuseness.
Reid can't help but pick up a bit of hostility and disgust in Morgan's voice- gravel and dirt in an open wound.
"I don't like men." Morgan growls, pressing past Reid.
Reid squeaks, tears pricking at the corner of his eyes.
"Morgan!" Reid cries...
"Reid wake up. Kid, you're dreamin'. You're dreamin'." Morgan says gently as he shifts Reid until he wakes. Reid gasps.
"What's scaring you man?" Morgan murmurs as Reid looks around, dazed as he struggles to sit up straight.
"Nothing." Reid squeezes his eyes shut, pulling away from Morgan.
The team adverts their eyes in respect.
"I'm just tired. The cases just blur after a while, you know?" Reid's body sags.
Morgan makes a noise that could mean- 'yeah, I do get it. I understand.' or 'BULLSHIT.'
Reid squirms uncomfortably as Morgan lets go of Reid. Reid stares at the familiar skyline out the window.
"We're about to land." Reid says quietly as Morgan gets up from the seat to grab his bag.
Reid's brow creases as he stares out the window again.
There is no hiding it, is there?
A/N: So, Morgan's trying to help...
Reid has to open up...
and the team are innocent bystanders...
So...should I keep it coming?
