Chapter 5

"Feel better?" Morgan asked once he slipped another pillow behind Reid's back.

"Very much, thank you." Reid said as he rubbed his eyes. "How come I am not bored of sleeping yet?"

"It's normal, Kid. Dr. Amy said you would be tired physically and mentally for couple of days."

"I know, but this is like too much, I don't even feel like moving." Reid said.

"Spencer, you have just woken up from coma, you have three broken ribs, broken leg, sprained wrist, bruised all over your body, what do you expect ... to get up and ran around?"

"Thanks for listing out my injuries, I feel much better now." Reid's voice was flat.

Morgan almost immediately felt guilty. "That's not what I meant ...I ..."

"I don't want to be burden to you." Reid said straight away.

"Reid, ..."

"Wait, I know I promised that I will accept your help but looking at myself now, I can't just depend on you for everything."

"Yes, you can." Morgan answered without any doubt.

"But it's not fair, you can't just be around me all the time..."

"Did you think about anything when you push me off and jump in front of the truck?" Morgan asked.

"I don't know all about that, all I know was ...I just want to make sure you are safe." Reid yawned again.

"You want me to be safe but I can't expect the same thing from you? Morgan questioned.

Reid raised his eyebrows, unable to answer.

"Want it or not, you are stuck with me until you can take care of yourself." Morgan spoke. "Save it, it won't change a single thing." Morgan said again when he saw Reid was about to open his mouth.

"Interesting time I am about to have." Reid mumbled.

"Blame yourself, you asked for it. You should have stayed away from the truck." Morgan joked.

"No way, I would do it again." Reid answered playing with his nasal cannula.

"Why?" Morgan asked, demanding for an answer.

"I never had anyone in my life, Derek, anyone at all ..." Reid spoke quietly. "My dad left, my mom sometimes don't even know if I am in the house. Forget about friends, I had more bullies in my life." Reid smiled sadly. "You are the first one to accept me as who I am and yet to bully me, to stand beside me, to watch my back, gives priority for my safely, someone who I can count my life on ..."

Morgan cut in between. "I always wanted a brother ..."

Reid looked up, meeting Morgan's eyes.

"You have no idea how crazy life would be growing with two sisters."

Reid smiled, despite the pain all over the body.

"So, you were the first one to fulfill that dream of mine." Morgan returned the smile. "That night, I shouted at you not because I don't want to talk to you but I just don't you to ..."

"to worry about you." Reid complete the sentences. "I know."

"You know?" Morgan was surprised.

"Derek, promise me something."

"Anything..." Morgan said.

"Just talk to me."

"Only if you promise not to do something stupid."

"Like saving your life?" Reid asked smiling.

Morgan looked at Reid one second. "I think I need to ask Dr. Amy to do an MRI test on you again."

Looking at each other, both burst on laughing but Reid stopped instantly when a sharp pain shot up on his side.

"Are you okay?" Morgan questioned, slightly panicked.

"I am good." Reid confirmed. "Promise."

"Hungry?" Morgan asked as he stood up and took the tray of food from the table beside the bed. Morgan proceed to cut the food into smaller piece.

"I think I can manage myself." Reid said stretched his good hand and took the spoon from Morgan.

Morgan sat on bed just beside Reid, giving Reid enough space for himself but at the same time, he was ready to jump in and help his little brother in case he need it.

Morgan cleared the tray and helped Reid to take few slips of water.

"Thanks." Reid mumbled when Morgan carefully wiped Reid's mouth using a small napkin avoiding the cut made in the corner of his lips.

"When I can get out here?" Reid questioned, looking like an innocent kid.

"Seriously? It's not even been a day since you have woken up from coma and you are asking me when you can get out here?"

"I hate hospital." Reid answered shortly.

"Yeah, right." Morgan cleaned the tray of food. "I can see that."

Reid watched as Morgan cleaned the table, sat on the chair beside him before he helped to cover Reid with his blanket until his hips. "Derek..."

"You need anything, kid?"

"What would you have done if anything happened to me?" Reid asked, carefully.

Morgan sighed before he leaned on his chair. "I ... " Morgan avoided looking at Reid for a second. "I am not sure if I would be able to live another second if something have happened to you... "

"I am sorry." Reid apologized.

"For what?" Morgan was puzzled.

"I thought I saved your life but I can only imagine how terrible it would have been for you for the past four days."

"You have no idea, Spencer ..." Morgan shook his head. The room was silent for some time. "The important thing right now is you to get better."

"So that you can resume to slip some of your paperwork in my stack?"

"Pretty much so." Morgan answered with a serious face.

"Unbelievable."

"For your record, that's how big brother bullies their little brother."
