Addicted Innocence- Chapter 18
Complications
"Oh my god!" a female voice squealed from the doorway.
Both Spencer's eyes and Morgan's darted toward the doorway, where their team and Reid's father awaited them…
"Oh, uh, hi Garcia." Morgan fumbled out. Reid's face turned red from embarrassment, even if he had just wakened up and was still half asleep. "I…you should know that we're not together…yet. Mr. Reid, I do like your son, and I would love to date him, but I hardly think that this is the time or place for that-"
"I beg to differ." Reid croaked from the bed. "Yes, Morgan. I'd love to be your boyfriend. Now get back down here- I'm tired." Reid whined. With a smile on his face, Morgan lowered himself back down on the bed and let Reid cuddle next to his sides.
Garcia let out another squeal before producing a camera and snapping a quick picture. Reid frowned at the bright light, and Morgan laughed as he felt Reid's body scoot closer to him as if he could somehow hide from the spot light.
"Kodak moment." Garcia smiled. "I'm so glad you two are together! I always thought you'd be a cute couple!"
"As long as Derek makes you happy, I'm happy for you two as well." William smiled.
"Good, because you didn't really have a choice either way." Reid muttered, obviously more than half-asleep now. "I've liked Morgan for a while now, and I wouldn't let you stop that."
"And I wouldn't try to." William nodded. "But, I do think that you should get some sleep…" he hinted.
"We can come back later." Hotch nodded. "Maybe you should stay with Morgan and Reid, though. I know that Reid will be sleeping soon, and I doubt that Morgan will leave him, but you could stay and keep him company- maybe talk a few things over a bit personally…?
"If Derek doesn't mid, I think I will stay." William agreed.
" 'Course not; it'll be nice having someone to talk to." Morgan replied.
"We'll be back later." Prentiss smiled. "Night Reid."
"Night." Reid mumbled; he was mere minutes away from falling to sleep, and Morgan couldn't have found it more adorable. He pushed a strand of hair out of Reid's face and let his younger lover curl up on his chest. As soon as he rested his head down, he was out instantly.
"Night Spence." JJ smiled. She offered a quick wave before heading out of the room with the team following behind her. Finally, Morgan, Reid, and William were alone.
"I know that you've liked my son since I met you." William admitted. "And I knew he liked you then, too. You two always had this… this connection, I guess, and I could see they way you two looked at each other."
"Now that I'm thinking back, I guess we weren't very subtle. I just can't believe how long it took either of us to figure it out. We're profilers- we should have known!" Morgan laughed nervously.
"Yeah, well, you're also human." William nodded. He looked down at his son and smiled. He'd never seen him happier than when he was now- curled up on Morgan's chest, gently being held by his lover.
Morgan, who had noticed William staring, smiled as he looked down at Spencer. He lifted his free hand to stroke Reid's hair, and inwardly smiled as he felt Reid cuddle closer. He loved having his Spencer so close to him; it felt so right to have him in his arms.
"He was like that when he was little, too." William said. "Stroking his hair was one of the only things I could do to make him calm down enough to rest peacefully."
"I think it's safe to say there are a few things that he never grew out of." Morgan nodded. "Especially books."
"Spencer always read as a child." William agreed. "When me and Diana fought, he would sneak out to the library and sit in a corner with a book. When he first started doing it, it scared the hell out of me. We didn't know where he was for hours. Finally, a neighbor called and told us they had seen him there, so we ran over to get him. We couldn't be mad at him, though. He was just a kid." William sighed.
Morgan and William looked down at Spencer when they heard a whimper. Morgan put his hand back in Spencer's hair and pulled him closer. "Shh, it's all right Pretty Boy. He can't hurt you anymore." Spencer seemed to relax a little after that, and both William and Morgan were glad that he didn't wake up; he needed to sleep.
"Morgan, was- was my son rapped?" William asked in a low voice.
Morgan sighed, glancing between William and his son before nodding. "Repeatedly."
"And the people who did this to him- they're going away, right?"
"For a long time, yes." Morgan reassured. "We have them in custody now, actually. Before our team heads back to Virginia, we're going to do one last look at the case files to make sure we didn't miss anyone, though. We managed to save most of the victims, and we're almost positive we have all of the UnSubs, too."
"Good." William nodded. "Spencer hates being touched- especially by strangers. I can… I can only imagine what this is going to do to him." He sighed shakily.
"I'll be here for him now; I'm not going to abandon him. We're going to work through this together, all right? And… And if you want, you could stop by every once in a while. I think it would be beneficial for both of you."
'I'd like that." William nodded. "I feel terrible for abandoning him before, but I want make that up now."
"Trust me, I think he wants it too."
"I do trust you- I trust you with my son." William nodded. "I know you won't hurt him, and I know you'll take care of him and-" A moan interrupted William's speech, though, and once more Morgan and William looked down at Spencer.
"Spencer, are you awake?" Morgan asked. He was rewarded with another moan and a whimper, and Morgan lowered his hand to Spencer's forehead. "You're burnin' up, kid. I think your fever spiked again."
"I'll get a nurse." William supplied as he darted to the door.
"Spencer, are you feeling okay?" Morgan asked when William was out of sight.
"No." Reid whined. He buried his head in his lover's chest, tears falling down his face. Morgan could feel the heat from Reid's fever and frowned. He wondered just how high it was…
"His fever spiked?" a nurse asked as he escorted William back into the room.
"Yeah, it's pretty bad." William nodded.
"Well, let's take his temperature and found out just how bad it is." She responded. She quickly pulled out a thermometer and walked over to Morgan and Reid. Morgan gently moved Reid so his face was facing the nurse and let her put the thermometer in his mouth. A minute or two later, the device blinked, and she removed it.
"100.3." she sighed. "I'm going to give him some medicine to help with it, okay? It'll knock him out, most likely, but it will make him feel better."
"All right." Morgan said. "As long as it makes him feel better, I'm in."
The nurse nodded before leaving the room to find the medicine. As she left the room, Reid cuddled closer to Morgan again and cried...
"…aw… Poor Spencey : ( . One more chap and an epilogue! YAY! R&R…?"
