"Why do we always have to do paperwork on Mondays?" Morgan asked from his desk staring at his rather tall stack of folders.
"Quit your whining. We all have a pile a mile high." Prentiss added from behind him.
"Not everyone has a tall stack. You want to help me out here, Reid."
"Do your own damn files." Spencer was really not in the mood to deal with other people.
"Hey, what's up Pretty Boy?"
Reid jerked out of his chair and stomped over to Morgan's desk. "Don't. Ever. Call. Me. That. Again." His voice was low and dangerous and his eyes dared Morgan to say it again. He turned on his heel and went to the break room to get another cup of coffee. Spencer's hands were shaking and he kept seeing flashes of his father, but with Morgan's voice calling him Pretty Boy.
Morgan walked into the break room but kept his distance and spoke quietly, "Reid, I'm sorry. You've never said anything before. I--"
Spencer cut him off, "Please. Don't. Don't say any more." He was on the verge of tears and just wanted the other man to go away. After wiping a hand under his nose, he tucked his hair behind his ear and took a deep breath. Once it was all quiet again, Spencer went back to his desk and used his magician skills to swipe a couple of Morgan's files from his inbox. He then buried himself in work.
Sometime later, he was startled out of his concentration.
"Are you working hard, Son?" William Reid asked from beside Spencer's desk.
Spencer caught his breath and tried to erase the deer-caught-in-headlights look from his face. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm only in town for a couple of hours, but I wanted to make sure I got to see my boy." The last word oozed 'sex' as it dripped from his lips.
He could hardly breathe and prayed that no one saw them.
"Do you mind showing me where the restroom is? I didn't have a chance to use the facilities before now." William smoothly asked.
"This way." Spencer whispered.
Once William got them locked in the restroom it was Reid's worst nightmare came true. It felt like it went on forever; when William was finally done, he pulled Spencer's pants back up with a jerk and shoved him further into the handicap stall so he could open the door and leave. "I'll see you soon, Son. Love you."
When Spencer heard the door click closed, he slid to the floor and put his face in his hands.
