Addicted Innocence-Chapter 5

Liar, Liar

As a look of horror crossed the other two men's faces, Reid pushed back tears. Morgan walked closer to Reid. He placed his hand underneath Reid's chin, propping up his beautiful and angelic face. Then., after pushing hair out of Reid's face, he asked the question Reid had been dreading.

"Spencer, who did this to you?"

"I-I don't know." Reid lied. "It was just some random guy on the street, Morgan. I w-was walking home from the bookstore, and this guys came up behind me and knocked me out with chlorophyl. I woke up in a public bathroom stall with these marks on my body."

"Why didn't you report it?" Morgan asked, incredulous.

"Because...I was ashamed, and there was nothing they could do, anyways. I didn't see anything and they couldn't help me..." Reid whispered, his hands slightly shaking. He wanted to tell Morgan the truth, but he knew that 'Marcus' had eyes on Henry and Will. He couldn't take the chance- not yet, anyways.

"Spencer, this wasn't your fault. I wish..I wish you would have told me, though." Morgan replied. He pushed that stubborn piece of hair out of Reid's face again before hugging him close. Reid rested his head on Morgan's chest, looking away from him. He couldn't face his sad eyes right now- it would give him away. "Did he...rape you?"

"I t-think he tried to, but he didn't. My-my clothes were still on, and it didn't look like they were taken off. I must've woken up before he had time to." Reid reassured.

"Thank god." Morgan whispered, holding Reid a little closer to him. Reid couldn't help but cry- not for what had happened to him, but for lying to Morgan.

Jared watched the scene from the side lines, watching Reid's eyes intently. He was lying- that much was for certain. He wasn't going to press the issue, though. Not until the case ended, that is.

"Well, I'd hate to say this, but we have to get going. I want to show you have to apply the make-up, and then we can call it a night. Okay?"

"Yeah, that's fine." Reid nodded. "Can I put my other clothes on first?"

"Of course." Jared nodded, letting Reid go back into the bathroom. "Just let me know when you're done."

A few minutes later, Reid came out in his favorite pair of pajamas-a pair of red and black plaid pajamas that were a tad too big on him, but it was barely noticeable. Gideon had given him the set for Christmas the year he had decided to take his offer to join the BAU. Ever since, he had treasured the clothing set.

"Alright, just have a seat on the couch and I'll show you how to do it." Jared mumbled as he searched through his bag. Once he had the correct supplies out, he sat down on the floor.

"As much as I'd love to see how this would end, I'm going to bed. Please, don't wake me up if you need anything." Jared gave Morgan a smirk before waving him on.

"You know how to put mascara on, right?" Jared asked.

"Why would I know that?" Reid asked, earning an eye roll from Jared.

"I've got my work cut out for me, don't I?" Jared mumbled. Then, he took Reid through all the steps to 'gothing-up' Jasper...

It took about thirty minutes for Jared to go through the steps with Reid. He took him through some things more than once. They spent most of their time on the mascara, though.

"Do you think you can get it now?" Jared asked, his patience gone.

"I'll manage."

"Good, because you don't have any other choice." Jared smirked.

"How does it look?" Reid asked.

"Why don't you look for yourself?" With that, Jared whipped out a mirror and placed it in front of Reid's face.

Reid was stunned when he saw his face. Jared had applied a very thick layer of purple eye shadow under and above his eyelids. His now beyond black, mascara-ed up eye lashes stood out due to the less than subtle purple blush. His lips were chalked with black lipstick, and his nails had been painted a matching black.

"So are we going to dye my hair purple or black?" Reid smirked.

"Hmm, as tempting as purple would be, my hair is black." Jared smirked. "You like the getup?"

"Not hardly, but I'm not in charge of the rules here, am I?"

"Yeah, you're going to be a fine Jasper." Jared smiled.

"Almost forgot about the name change." Reid mumbled.

"What? You don't like the name Jasper?" Jared asked, sounding offended.

"It reminds me of Twilight."

"You read Twilight?"

"Yeah, my team was making fun of me because I've never read it before, so I decided to read it."

"Oh, well, good for you." Jared said sarcastically. "Well, I think we're done for the night. You can go wash off the make-up now and I'll be on my way."

"Thanks, Jared. See you in the morning." Reid said as he got up. Jared headed toward the front door as Reid walked tot he bathroom door.

"Night Reid. Oh, and one more thing." Jared called.

"What is it?"

"Liar, liar." With that, he left.

Reid stared at the door for a few minutes, confused. Did he know that he had lied to Morgan? Or was Jared the liar? Maybe both of them were lying...

Reid shook off the thought; he didn't want to think about it right now. As he wiped off the make-up, he thought about how miserable this case was going to be. Without a second thought, Reid headed to bed, ready to catch some sleep...

"...A bit of a filler, but necessary. Besides, I'm about to start a new- well, almost new- story. It's a CM/White Collar X-over and the first chaps already up. Its called 'The FBI's Pawn'. For those of you who have read it, yeah, I'm continuing it. 5 stories at once-should be fun :) R&R for encouragement..."
