Here it is as I promised! Yes not very long, but I have discovered that I prefer to write shorter chapters. I guess I'm not as good as Reid when it comes to ramble. ;) Not to reveal too much, but in this chapter you will see another side of Morgan than the kick-in-doors-version. If you don't like cute fluffy moments between Reid and Morgan, don't read. I hope you like it, enjoy!


Bunny Ears

"He has not released his hand since they got here…" Reid heard whispering words and slowly opened his eyes but quickly closed them shut because of the bright light. Back in hospital again, why am I not surprised? He thought to himself now remembering the other night clearly.

"I wonder if they are an item…" The blond woman by the end of the bed said to her colleague.

"If not, dibs on his mocha-flavored friend!" The two nurses giggled lightly as they continued with their chores and left the room. Great, Morgan attracts women even at the hospital. Reid sighs. But they did thought they were an item..what if… Reid opened his eyes yet again and looked at his friend and teammate sitting by his side in an uncomfortable chair, leaning against the bed sleeping and sure enough was holding his hand. Reid flushed when the words from yesterday returned to his mind.

"Don't let go?"

"I won't Pretty Boy, never again.

Could it be possible? Naaah...Morgan only thought of him as a friend, nothing ells. Moving his gaze to the right he saw a tray of sandwiches and of course the traditional jello on the bedside table. Maybe I can get to it before Morgan this time! Reid chuckled quietly inside and shifted carefully not to disturb the older agent or to move his knee too much. Surprisingly it actually didn't hurt that much. Blessing his long limbs as the fingers clutched the jello and a spoon, he leaned back and was just about to take a mouthful when he heard..

"Well good morning sunshine. Oooh is that jello?" A tired-looking but eager Morgan was now sitting up, covering a yawn with his free hand as he stretched out his back with a loud crack.

"My jello!" Reid quickly pointed out.

"Hey, friends share alike don't they?" Morgan smirked and grabbed the spoon from Reid's mouth taking a fair share from the bowl.

"I don't think I know anyone who's crazier about that goo than you." Reid laughed and allowed the other to eat the rest. Morgan only shrugged and smiled happily. A knock on the door got both of their attention.

"Hi, I'm Dr. Thomson." A thin man in his forties walked in accompanied by the blond nurse Reid overheard before.

"So what's the verdict doctor?" Morgan asked before Reid had the chance.

"You are a lucky man Dr. Reid, I've looked at the X-rays they took when you came in yesterday, and it looks fine. There might be some strain in the surrounding sinews of your knee but that can be helped by wearing this supporting knee brace for a couple months together with some rehabilitation exercises.

"I know all about knee exercises." Reid sighed and remembered the last time.

"That's great, I will recommend you though to go to a physiotherapist when you get home and to stay off your feet for the rest of the week.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure he obeys your order." Morgan answered and winked at Reid when he saw the instant pout on the other man's face.

"Christina here will get your discharge paper and then you're free to go! If you have any question I'll be just down the hall." And by that, Morgan and Reid were left alone again.

"Perfect, now you can go home with us on the jet!"

"Mhm…eh…Morgan?"

"Yeees Reid?

"I..um…I need to go to the bathroom."

"Be my guest!"

"Well, um I..I need my hand back?" Reid said softly, not really wanting to, but when you gotta go, you gotta go.

"Oh, of course!" Morgan looked down at their intertwined fingers as he only just now realized he'd never let go. With a, what Reid thought was adorable, embarrassed expression on his face Morgan gently freed his hand and smiled awkwardly before he quickly got up. "Ehm, I'll go find you a wheelchair." And he was out of the room faster than you could say jello.

Reid took the opportunity to dress himself, he really hated those hospital gowns. They revealed way too much for his comfort and he was NOT going to let Morgan to view his rear end in this state! It took only a few minutes thanks to all the practice last time. Morgan came back just as Reid tried to tie his shoes without bending the knee. If I only knew that this were going to happen I would have take my loafers instead!

"Whoa, let me do that!" Morgan resolutely pushed away Reid's hands and start mumble to himself. "Bunny ears, bunny ears, playing by a tree. Criss-crossed the tree, trying to catch me. Bunny ears, bunny ears, jumped into the hole, popped out the other side beautiful and bold."

"Excuse me?" Reid couldn't help but giggle, watching Morgan with wide and surprised eyes.

"Hmm?" Morgan first seemed oblivious but soon understood that he had said the rhyme out loud. "Oh…ehm…well Mama taught me this when I was four or five…I guess I still use it…" Reid could swear that Morgan had got a hint of pink in his otherwise deliciously bronzed skin.

"I like it, it's cute." Reid grinned widely.

A Second knock was heard by the door. This time it was the nurse followed by Hotch.

"Hotch, I'm getting released!" Reid jumped out of bed, deliberately forgetting to tell the senior agent that he had to stay at home the rest of the week, and discovered too late that his leg couldn't take the sudden weight and collapsed right into Morgan's arms.

"Hey, take it easy Pretty boy, doctor's order, remember?

"Yeah, I guess I have to stay home for a few days or so..." Reid pulled a face more because of disappointment than by the pain as Morgan and Hotch helped him into the wheelchair.

"Well thanks to you, we can all get home today." Hotch patted Reid on the back.

"Huh?"

"Down in the hidden cellar you fell into, were all the evidence and more we needed to solve the case. He will be put away for a lifetime at least!"

"Oh, that's good!" A smile came across his face as he wrote his signature on the paper to get him released.


"Morgan! Put. Me. Down!" Reid Squeaked and waved his arms when Morgan lifted him up bridal style after getting him out of the car.

"How did you plan to get on the plane then? Crawl?" Morgan rolled his eyes.

"If I have to!"

"Well I want to get home today, not next week, deal with it!" Reid covered his face feeling mortified as both girls AND Rossi walked behind them humming "Here comes the bride…", making Morgan burst out with laughter. At least Garcia isn't here to take any pictures…He thought before Morgan climbed the stairs.


There you go! To be continued…=) Reviews makes my heart happy!
