Wow... I like so much this story! That was so cute... Really beautiful!

Sorry about that the last part made me tear up so beautiful very sweet tender poignant beautiful. Loved it poor Spencer such a sad young life he had

Omg that last p

Oh, this was just beautiful and perfect!

That was so touching! I absolutely loved it!

I actually cried. What the hell, I cried, it was that good. I haven't read Moreid for a WHILE, and now I think it's bumped up to my otp. Seripusly well done!
(Btw Congrats!:) )

So I will probably make an account and review this again later, but I just had to say this story is so beautiful! It actually made me cry (in a good way) which NEVER happens. Fantastic work!

I liked this love story.

First of all, congratulations for your friend, your raise and most importantly your internet because if you didn't have that, we wouldn't have gotten to read this beautiful story! :) Can't speak for anybody else but I know and understand Spencer's reasoning for not being able to say the word love as it is also difficult for me to say it but like Spencer, I show it instead. I loved the angst that Derek had because he wondered whether Spencer truly loved him because he always said "I love you" and never hearing the words said back to him. I don't know why I was feeling anxious about the turn of their conversation but the explanation Spencer gave and Derek's response eased my mind (silly I know) but that's because you've written this so beautifully that I was drawn into this and I couldn't help but get caught up into my favorite couple. My very favorite part, and it was hard to pick because all of this was great, was Spencer tracing the word L-O-V-E on Derek's chest and him looking squarely in Spencer's eyes saying "I love you, too". Sorry for rambling but I just loved this story and I'm adding this to my faves list...very beautifully done! :)

Wow, this was beautiful

Awwwwwwwww!

Very cute story, this!

First off, I love the way you note the little things Reid does that both irritate Morgan and yet are part of what make him love him, too, and all the reasons he's glad Reid's there with him instead of at home in his own bed (particularly the lines about helping Reid with nightmares and having someone other than Clooney to spend time with :D).

Second, I LOVE the intimacy in their simple gestures here, Morgan holding him and just appreciating all the nice scents that come with being so close to Reid, and Reid snuggling closer to Morgan once he wakes up and sees he's home-I could practically feel the warmth, both from them cuddling and from being snuggled under the blanket. I also like Morgan's memories of how they wound up together in the first place-Reid's realization that he should've said similar things to Morgan that he said to his mom, the idea that his near-death experience was what drove him to finally go for it with Morgan...and I like the idea that he made the first move there, too :D. The fact that he went over to Morgan's place in that blinding rainstorm to make it clear just what sorts of feelings he had for him should've been a clue to Morgan right there :p.

And that argument. Oh. On the one hand, I understand Morgan's feelings-it's obviously something he wants to hear from Reid, people in general don't wait a year to say those three words when in a relationship, and I know he knows, deep down, Reid loves him, but it is always nice to hear the words themselves uttered every once in a while, too.

And yet, I totally sympathize with Reid's feelings on this, too. Some people, for whatever reason, just have a really hard time saying that out loud (for me, it's mainly that it's one of those things that sounds less dorky or sappy out of someone else's mouth than it does mine, if that makes sense, is a good enough reason?). And in Reid's case, as he noted, he's got MORE than enough reasons why he'd hesitate saying such things, and for as long as Morgan's known him, one would think that might've come to his mind as an option (I was wincing when he was being snarky and saying the whole thing about the word being "too simple" for "the little genius". Geez, Morgan, poke at it a little more, why don't ya?). Reid's examples he brought up were heartbreaking, especially the ones with his mom and Gideon.

But oh, the thing with the hand, and Reid's reason for doing that! That's friggin' cute :D. And sweet. And touching (literally and figuratively :p). And of course it's something he'd read about when he was little. Of course. Ah, Reid, don't ever change. And Reid still managed to find a way that he was most comfortable with to tell Morgan exactly just how much he meant to him, and it was adorable and funny and cerebral and honest and awwwwwww. Tracing the word out was a nice touch, too.

Yay for them sorting this out and making up so perfectly! Such a sweet story :). Also, glad to hear things are going well in your life and the lives of those around you, too!

Dude this was so sappy and heartwarming it made me blush and giggle.
