He lets his eyes close.
Aw, Spence...
It is still too bringt.
Sort of like bright but different.
"Hey..." Rossi covers Reid's hand with his own, a startlingly paternal gesture, and Reid has to fight not to pull away. "Do you remember anything?"
He shakes his head.
"Hey. This?" Rossi gestures to the marks on Reid. "Is not your fault. That's the only thing you need to know right now, okay?"
Love them.
"Yes, if you did this. But you didn't. Someone did this to you."
There is compassion in Rossi's eyes that Reid can't stand. He has to look away.
"...Again?" he asks, and he hates how terrified he sounds.
"I'm sorry, son."
"I'm not your son."
Soooo much love.
"No, but you're on my team. So that makes you my responsibility. That makes you my family. Okay?"
Rossi is really waiting for an answer, and Reid can't think of the right one quickly enough. Instead of acknowledging it, what comes is, "I'm not Italian..."
Okay, thank you Reid...
"How do you feel?" Rossi asked quietly.
"Small."
"Don't worry. It won't last. Just close your eyes."
Rossi's hand is on Reid's forehead.
"It won't last," he repeated, like a promise.
So Reid closed his eyes.
OMG, it gets better every time! I love this so much! Reid saying he feels small, and Rossi all paternal! Seriously! Love!

All I can think of is, "It's not too bright!" Old school...LOL.
They are wonderful. Why aren't there more Rossi and Reid fics?
Oh, Reid. Break my heart. Rossi, please be amazing forever.
Right? Hahaha!
Sad day for Reid, but such a good thing Rossi is there to make it better. Yay!
