"So, Morgan. Terrified that he'd jump Reid's bones if they shared a room?"

"Oh totally."


EDIT AN:

Based on some of the comments it is clear that what I was trying for with Chapters 3 and 4 didn't necessarily work.

So if you 'got' it - congratulations. Hope you enjoyed enough to read what comes next.

If you didn't well here's the short explanation.

Yes Chapters 3 and 4 are just a couple of sentences.

In the ep the BAU were assigned 4 rooms. Each chapter of this fic relates to a conversation that took place in one of the four rooms.

Rossi provides as his reason for sharing with Reid that Hotch needed the privacy more than he did. Part of that was to give him the chance to talk to Jack. Of course East and West coast time zones don't help with this so all he got to do was leave a message. The premise being he had enough on his plate with being a single father and so wouldn't care about the reasons why Morgan didn't want to share with Reid.

As to JJ and Emily. The point to the above was that they'd seen Morgan's reactions to Reid over the previous years and drew their own conclusions as to why he didn't want to share. Ten seconds of throw away conversation before moving on to talk about Henry, Will and who got which bed and first run at the bathroom in the morning.

This isn't the end of the story. It is the end of the story as it takes place in that small Alaskan town.

Hope that helps!

(And yes I am aware that this note is twice as long as Chapters 3 and 4 combined...)
