Chapter Five: Another Mistake, Love and Psychos.

L pushed himself up and climbed off of Reid, sitting next to the younger man. He fixed his gaze on a random place on the wall opposite their bed as he spoke, his voice and face were blank and without emotion. "You slept with Morgan..." He repeated, he didn't know why but he knew he had to say it out loud for himself. "Did he force you?" He turned his head look at Reid...and to the younger man's confusion, he saw something that resembled hope in L's eyes.

"W-what? N-n-no." Reid answered quietly...and then he realised what the hopeful look in L's eyes had been for. L had wanted Morgan to have forced him into it, because that way it would mean he hadn't willingly slept with another man. A twinge of pain shot through Reid as he saw the hopeful look in L's eyes disappear and be replaced by a hurt and disappointed one.

"Oh." Was all L said as he turned back to look at the wall. "Were you drunk?"

Reid pushed himself into a sitting position and stared at the wall, just as L was. "I'd been drinking...but no, I wasn't drunk."

"Oh." L said again, but this time his fists clenched at his sides on the bed. "So...you sle-...you slept with him willingly." He said, he knew his calm demeanour was breaking. He had never felt so betrayed, so hurt, so...he couldn't even describe how he felt right now. It was as if he was in shock...he couldn't believe Reid had slept with someone else, he wasn't that kind of person. "Did you enjoy it?"

"L!" Reid gasped. L turned to look at Reid; his eyes looked darker than usual, and his voice was cold and un-emotional. "Please, don't-!"

"Do not what!?" L said as he grabbed a fistful of Reid's shirt and yanked him closer; Reid's eyes widened in shock. "You slept with someone else, Spencer, the least you can do is tell me if you enjoyed it!" He practically yelled.

Reid's eyes widened even more, still only in shock; L had never raised his voice at him. "L, please...what does that matter?"

"You-...you slept with someone else, Spence! Why? Why would you-!?" L pulled Reid closer to him and then pushed him back down onto the bed. He climbed off the bed and started to pace around the room.

Reid just sat on the bed and watched L as he made his way around the room, obviously agitated. His eyes started to fill with tears and when L turned to look at him, he looked down at the bed.

L walked over to the bed and looked down at Reid. "Why did you-...why did you sleep with him?" He asked as he stopped in front of the bed.

"I-I...It just...happened. I-It's wasn't planned...it just h-happened." He said as he kept his head down, his tears spilling down his face.

"Then why did you not just tell me!?" L said loudly and pulled on Reid's chin, making the younger man look up at him. "Do you love him? Is that why you did it?"

Reid's eyes widened and he climbed off the bed, his chest pressed against L's. "No! I told you, it just happened. I love you! You know that."

"Are you sure that is not the reason it happened?" L asked; his face now showed the hurt and disappointment and anger he was feeling.

"Yes." Reid said quietly.

L nodded. "I need to...I need to be alone for a while. Please, stay in here." He said and made his way towards the door.

Reid grabbed his wrist tightly. "L, please..." L turned to look over his shoulder at Reid...the look on his face made Reid let go almost immediately. "I love you." He whispered as L opened the bedroom door.

******

L was sitting in the chair in the living, just staring out of the window...just as he had been for two hours now. He was doing his best not to think...every time he let his mind wonder he found himself thinking about Reid, about what he had done with Morgan, about how Morgan had seen Reid in a way that only he was supposed to, about how he had reacted when Reid told him.

He was snapped out of his staring out of the window as he heard his phone vibrating on the coffee table. He leaned forward and grabbed the phone with his forefinger and thumb. He waited for the other person to say something before he did.

"L...this is Aaron Hotchner."

"Agent Hotchner? Are you wanting to speak with Spencer?" L asked. He knew there were only two reasons this man would be calling him...and he was hoping, begging and even praying that it was this reason and not the second. He didn't even want to think about what he was going to do if it was the second.

Hotch stayed quiet for a short moment before answering. "No."

L shut his eyes out of dread and panic...but not for himself, this dread and panic was for Spencer. "Then he has escaped?"

"Yes. I was told he escaped twenty-four hours ago."

"Why were neither of us informed about this then?" L asked; his patience was wearing thin...the people holding him were given the strictest of instructions about informing either L or Hotch if something happened.

"Because everyone who was on duty at that time is either dead or in intensive care." Hotch told him. "He had an accomplice. Someone from the outside who helped him...they have no information on him yet, but I'm going to get Garcia to go over the tapes ASAP, and we'll let you know if anything comes up."

"Was he the one who killed them?" L asked.

"Yes, Beyond was the one who did all of the damage, the other man just walked behind him as they left."

"I see. Please let me know as soon as you have anything more." L asked of him. He was about to hang up when Hotch spoke again.

"Are going to tell Reid?"

"I do not know yet. So I would be grateful if you or any other member of your team did not tell him either...and I must ask you to not let Agent Morgan find out before Spencer himself knows."

"Garcia will be the only one who knows for now...but why can't Morgan know?" Hotch inquired.

"He will tell Spencer. Now if that is all Agent Hotchner, I must be going now..."

"Yes, like I said, as soon as I find anything, I'll phone."

"Thank-you." L said and hung up. He put the phone back on the table and looked out of the window. Minutes later he stood from the chair and walked over to the bedroom and shut the door quietly behind him. He looked at Reid who was sat on the bed, his legs pulled up to his chest and his head buried in his knees. "Spencer." Reid looked up and L could see the tears that were still streaming from his eyes and the stains left from previous ones, his eyes and cheeks were red and puffy from crying. He walked over to Reid and stood in front of him.

As he looked down at his younger partner, he realised he wasn't the only one who had made a mistake. Reid had slept with another man...but he knew his mistake was far worse...after all, his mistake left a psycho to break free from jail and put people in danger, put his Spencer in danger. His mistake was not killing Beyond when he should have, when Reid and everyone else, but Agent Hotchner and the special agents who guard the man who looks so similar to himself, thought he had.

L wiped the tears from Reid's cheeks as he stared up at him. He bent down and pressed his lips to Reid's. He pulled way and looked at Reid; his eyes were wide with shock and confusion.

"W-why-?" Reid started but stopped when L pressed a finger to his lips.

"I love you; you do know that, right?" L asked as he knelt down in front of Reid.

Reid's bottom lip trembled as fresh tears formed in his eyes. "B-but...w-what I did-...y-you don't h-hate-!"

L pressed his lips to Reid's again, still gentle and quick. "It does not matter. Just...promise me it will not happen again."

Reid shook his head. "It won't! It won't! I swear it won't happen again!"

L smiled and pressed his lips to Reid's, this time deeper, longer and more patiently. Without breaking their contact Reid laid down on the bed and L climbed on top of him. 'I will not lose you. Not to Morgan. Not to Beyond. Not to anyone.'

The End!

Okay, so Beyond is still alive!!! There is going to be another part to this (I think I mentioned it earlier, but I don't remember) I'll probably start writting it later this week...it's goin to focus on Beyond coming back after Reid but also deal with Reid's and L's relationship after what happened with Morgan.

Thanks for reading, reveiwing and stuff!
