Reid tries to kiss him, but Morgan turns his head away from Reid's and grasps his shoulders like he might not take no for an answer.
"Don't you want to?"
"What? Kiss?" Reid nods. "We can't. You know that," Morgan responds.
Reid steps back and sits on the edge of the hotel bed. "No actually, I don't. Why can't we?"
"Because there's rules. Because the team already has boundary issues. Because we're on a fucking case. Because I..." he chokes on the sentence.
Reid waits, not sure if Morgan will actually finish that sentence.
Finally it comes out as a whisper, "I'm not ready Reid."
"Okay," he says, trying to keep the disappointment out of his voice.
"We could...could cuddle?" Morgan asks in a voice so unsure, Reid worries that Morgan's pushing himself too far.
He nods and climbs into bed, holding the sheets up next to him in invitation.Morgan seems frozen for a second before he gets in next to Reid, turning him on his side so that Morgan can pull him close and wrap his arm around him.
Morgan's breath is warm on his shoulder and ear and he almost misses the "thank you" just before Morgan drifts off, leaving Reid to wonder if he's got unrealistic expectations about where this thing might be going.

Prompt: Morgan/Reid - taking Clooney to vet

Clooney is far enough behind on his vaccines that it's embarrassing to Morgan. He didn't mean for it to happen - a case came up, he came back with a sprained ankle and then he forgot until Reid asked if they should board him during their trip to Vegas.
For some reason, he thought it was a good idea to bring Reid along. Really, he thought the Reid effect was moot, but apparently it still applied to large groups of animals. The whole office became as wild as a zoo until Morgan made Reid go wait in the car.
Besides that, the appointment went well, Clooney behaved, and Morgan felt less stressed about their trip.

It wasn't a regular thing, but occasionally after a bad case, Morgan would wordlessly bring Reid to his house and they'd watch a movie. Reid didn't mind; being alone on those night was usually the last thing he wanted too.
So after a case in Maine with eight dead kids, blue and bloated in the snow, it feels natural to wind up on Morgan's couch, watching Robin Hood: Men in Tights. As the movie ends, Morgan looks towards the bay window, frowning slightly.
"What?" Reid asks.
"It's snowing even worse than before. The roads were already pretty slick when we got here." Morgan's jaw clenches. "I'm sorry...I should have taken you home."
"No, it's fine Morgan," Reid reassures. "It's not like I've never stayed in your guest room. Since I'm staying, do you wanna watch another movie?" he asks.
Morgan looks like he's about to say something else, but he just nods and tells Reid to pick the next movie. When Morgan throws his arm around Reid's shoulder, Reid just leans into the contact. They stay that way for a long time, even after the movie ends and the tv screen is blank.
“Don’t wanna move,” Reid murmurs.
He feels Morgan’s chest rumble as he makes a nonsensical noise of agreement and Reid snuggles in closer. It’s warm and dark and he tells himself he really shouldn’t be doing this, given how he feels about Morgan, but it’s just too damn comfortable. When he finally glances up, Morgan brushes the hair from his face.
“Pretty boy, I...” There’s a silence and Morgan’s eyes seem to be searching his face for something.
“Yes?” Reid asks expectantly.
“I want to kiss you now, okay?”
“Very okay,” he says, sitting up a bit.
Morgan’s hand strokes the back of Reid’s neck before he leans in and lightly brushes his lips against Reid’s. It tickles a bit and he wants more, but he’s determined to let Morgan set the pace. When he feels Morgan’s tongue lick at the seam of his mouth, he opens up, letting him in and then it finally feels like a real kiss. It’s amazing how many things can be communicated through a kiss, he thinks. Because behind this kiss, he can sense lust and fear and longing all at once and it’s overwhelming to think he inspires such a mixed set of emotions.
Reid is so lost in the pleasure of the kiss that it’s a bit of a shock when Morgan pulls back. Morgan’s smile is happy, but his eyes are worried.
“Don’t worry, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it,” Reid states and he knows it’s the right answer when Morgan responds with a light kiss.
