Yes…Finally! The fifth chapter is here. The other four more or less wrote themself but this one was reeeally hard. I'm not sure how many more chapters there are in me. I just want to warn you about that. I'm a more pre-established relationship-kinda-girl, if that make any sense at all?

Your nice reviews, favs and alerts make my day! I can't press that enough. Thank you!

Fluffy like always, but no graphic details. Please enjoy!

Connecting The Dots

Reid lay scattered over his bed, the room all dark if it wasn't for the innumerable luminous stars up in the ceiling. Well actually there were 186, he had counted them himself three times.
Reciting Morgan's poem over and over again in his head filled him with a warm sensation and butterflies almost threaten to overtake all of his body. He could only describe the feeling as pure happiness and joy, leaving goose bumps all over his skin and making the fine hair on his arm stand in strict attention. He must have done this when I was at the doctor with Hotch and Jack. Just one of his bright smiles and a cheesy line and Garcia would easily hand out his key without any questions. Reid grinned at the thought. Well not maybe without any questions, she is after all the most curious and persistent person he'd ever known.
A copy of each member of the BAU's keys had his home in the technical analyst lair ever since Hotch's encounter with Foyet. Only Garcia and Hotch knew that the secret code for entering her office was locked up safely in Hotch's office, just in case of an emergency.

Reid wanted to call Morgan real bad and express how much he loved it all but satisfied with sending a picture to his cell phone of the ceiling vision. After all, he didn't want to disturb him or any of the others in the middle of the case. Maybe I can talk to him tomorrow… A big yawn broke his thoughts off and he drifted slowly into sleep. "Close your eyes and dream of me, And I'll be yours for eternity." Was the last thing that lingered in his mind before doing just so.

"Oooh my Junior G-man!" Garcia squeaked at the sight of the tall, skinny man who just got inside the glass doors of the BAU by jumping on one leg and holding his crutches in one hand and the door with the other. "Why didn't you call me?" She immediately scolded. "I could have picked you up silly!"

"Oh I didn't mind taking a cab." He could really have taken his Volvo to work, but with all the snow, and not yet a reliable fine motor skills back, he thought it was best this way.

"Well, I'll drive you wherever you need to go for the rest of the week." Garcia stated in a don't-you-dare-to-contradict-me-tone. "Now, make yourself home in my lair, you're sitting with me today! I'll get you some coffee, don't you touch my precious babies though!" And off she went like a purple whirlwind.

A few seconds after Reid had settled down in a chair next to Garcia's, she swooped in and handed him his coffee as she talked in her headphones. "Yes Sir, Reid is with me, wait juuust a second…there! Hi Superior Boss! How can I help you all?" Garcia smiled at the screen where Reid now could se Hotch and the rest of the team in the background. He made his signature awkward wave and smiled too.

"Actually it's Reid's help we need this time." Hotch replied. Reid immediately perked up, happy to be able to help even if it were at a distance. "We have some letters here we need you to analyze." Hotch continued. "Garcia can brief you about the rest of the details of the case. Copies of the letters should be in your inbox right about now."

"Okay Hotch, I'll get back to you as fast as I can." Reid answered; Garcia had of course already got the letters up on another screen to the right.

"Hey Baby girl! I need you to check out some people for me." The head of a smirking Morgan had appeared sideways in front of their Unit Chief.

"Shoot my chocolaty delight!" Garcia giggled and typed in the names Morgan gave her, reporting back what he wanted to know and e-mailed a more detailed information to his phone.

"Hey Prettyboy?" Reid looked over from the other screen where he examined the letters.

"Mhm?"

"Did you sleep well under the starry sky?" Morgan said mischievous.

"Like a baby" Reid grinned widely back before Rossi called on Morgan's attention and the connection shut down.

As Reid returned to the letters he could feel a pair of eyes watching him from the side.

"What?"

"The sky was cloudy last night." Garcia looked very closely at Reid for any possible signs of clues, the curiosity clearly manifested itself in her face.

"Maybe it was starlit where they are…" Reid said casually but could feel the flush overpowering him.

"You're hiding something…your ears got all red" Garcia said teasingly.

"Um, did you know that elephant's ears help them regulate their body temperature? Their ears are made of a very thin layer of skin stretched over cartilage and a rich network of blood vessels. The blood that goes from the heart and then back again from the ears can actually differ up to 19 degrees Celsius! " Reid rambled intentionally so Garcia couldn't get a word in. "By the way, haven't the UnSub gone Van Gogh on his victims?"

"Ugh, don't remind me." Garcia frowned deeply.

"Well Hotch said that you were going to tell me about the case, right?" Garcia sighed and frown at the smug man but began typing franticly on the keyboard, covering every screen with all of the information they got this far. I will get to you genius boy, you're not off the hook yet!

Reid smiled in contentment where he sat all sunk down in his sofa, watching a nightly run of old Doctor Who-episodes. It was really nice to be back at work and the week had gone past faster than ever. Whenever he didn't help out with the case, the huge piles of old case files got smaller and smaller by his lanky hands. It was a great way to keep Garcia's meddling nose away and if that didn't work he could only excuse himself by going down to the gym. He did have to do his daily exercises anyway.

I hope they get back soon, maybe I should call tomorrow and see if I can help –
The phone in Reid's hand suddenly started to buzz and vibrate like crazy. A text message from Morgan!

"Hey kid, get your cute ass downstairs!"

What? They're back? But I have my PJ on! Reid looked at the message, confused and his face now deep red by the words the older man had used.

"Humor me Pretty boy…"Another message followed quickly, like Morgan had read his flustered mind.

The slender man hurried up and got down to the front door of the building, but with the elevator instead of the stairs by obvious reasons.

"You could have taken some shoes and a jacket on." Morgan chuckled when he saw Reid in his dark blue PJ covered with X-wings from Star wars and fussy Yoda-slippers standing out in the snow.

"It seemed urgent…" Reid smiled awkwardly. "So you caught the UnSub? Who was it? When did you all come back? Why didn't you come up instead?" Reid felt nervous all of the sudden and couldn't stop the verbal diarrhea.

"Whoa, calm down man. I tell you all about it tomorrow." Morgan smirked as he slowly got closer. "You see, I needed the right scenery so I could give you this." He reached inside his coat and pulled out a brown leather book. Reid looked at him with questioning eyes.

"It's a new diary, for the coming year." Morgan now smiled shyly but gazed firmly into Reid's eyes.

"I thought you didn't like chick-flicks." Reid couldn't help but laugh as he stroke the cover and scrunched his nose deliciously when he smelled the special scent that leather always had.

"I have to admit that they have their moments." Morgan whispered, getting close enough to wrap his arms around the young man which now dropped his crouches entirely to the ground and used the other man's shoulders for support. Reid felt a shiver run through his body, not so much of the cold but to be so close to the one he loved. Morgan winked and wrapped Reid all up in his coat, bringing him even closer. "I've been waiting a long time to do this." With a fluent motion Morgan leaned in and captured his lips in the softest kiss Reid had ever experienced. Before he could respond, he could feel traces of butterfly-light kisses on his chin and all the way down his neck making him moan quietly. Reid sensed Morgan smirking against his lips as they returned and this time he dived right in, deepening the kiss to let out all the steam that had build up inside him the last few weeks.

"Wait a minute…" Morgan panted when they were in much need of air. "Nice boys don't kiss like that!"

"Oh, yes they f-cking do!" Reid answered making them both laugh at the final sentences from Bridget Jones Diary. "Come up with me?"

"Love to Pretty boy, but I'm in serious need of some sleep, been up 48 hours straight by now. "

"Well of course, I'm not easy you know!" Reid rolled his eyes jokingly.

"You could have fooled me…" Morgan raised an eyebrow and chuckled when Reid gave him an indignant look and punched him lightly in the stomach.

"You better not snore!" Was the last thing Reid said before the two men made their way up to the apartment.

Reid woke up with a smile on his face. He didn't really know what had made Morgan to show his feelings or when it really all started but he was NOT about to question it. All he knew was that he had never slept that well before with the dark man's arms tightly wrapped around him. What's that? A ticklish feeling on his lower back made Reid open his eyes and look behind him.

"What are you doing?" He said as he took in the divine sight of a shirtless Morgan lying on one elbow and clearly holding something in his other hand, deeply concentrated on a task.

"I'm connecting the dots." Was the simple reply he got.

"You're doing what?"

"Well you're birthmarks forms a really interesting pattern don't you think?" A now very pleased grin was spreading on Morgan's face.

"Pleeease say you didn't draw on me!" Reid half-squeaked as he rapidly got up from the bed to look at his back in the mirror where he saw two rather large and reversed letters; M.D in what looked like permanent marker.

"Derek! I have my physical check-up on Monday so I can get back in the field!" The lithe man was now jumping around on one leg trying to reach and rub off the very well visible letters.

"I guess we just have to wash it off in the shower then…" Morgan smirked and seized Reid into a long hug, kissing his shoulder lightly. It took a few seconds before Reid comprehended the meaning of what Morgan had said and his closed eyes opened widely.

"Um, do you know that many of the spots people generally call birthmarks really is – "

"Spencer…Shut up." Morgan kissed the rambling man softly on the lips and then slowly began to walk towards the bathroom with Reid's hand safely secured in his.

Oooh such a tease, I know! There probably won't be any shower scene though, I'm not comfortable with writing those smutty scenes, not yet anyway. But I think you have great imagination huh? ;)

By the way, the elephant-facts can be slightly off. I found different numbers and I don't know which's right.

I've said it before and I'm saying it again. I could really use your input about the story. Suggestions and wishes are greatly appreciated, especially now that I seem to have hit a dry-spell. Hugs for all you lovely people out there!
