FILL: this pillar of salt - Morgan/Reid, GnevcolleilOctober 7 2011, 19:41:19 UTC
Trust takes time. Doesn’t matter who it is you want to trust or what it is you want to trust them with, once you’ve got those walls up… It takes time to bring them down. It’s not worth trying for just anybody.
But, Derek supposes, Spencer’s never been “just anybody.”
He’s probably never been considered much of a threat, either, by anyone - at least not at first. There are a few people who wouldn’t be six foot under right now if they had perceived the kid to be as big a threat as he actually is. More than a few, if Derek’s really honest, because a lot of the men he’s taken down himself wouldn’t have ended up on his radar if it hadn’t been for one of Spencer’s insights, some obscure fact or genius observation.

This is the best character study of Spencer I've ever read! To hear it in Morgan's voice, through a lover's eyes, made my heart ache (in a good way).
He trusts Spencer with his heart and he trusts him with his body (and that, considering Derek’s past experiences with sex and men, took time). Morgan m/m stories rarely address that issue. Kudos for handling it so well. I think it's one of the most romantic lines I've ever read.
