I can't believe I'm sitting here, waiting for him . . . I'm an idiot . . . I'm the smartest idiot to ever walk this Earth . . . and the fact that he's not home pretty much confirms what I said, so why am I sitting here waiting to apologize . . .

"Reid, wake-up man!"

Reid felt an overwhelming sense of deja vú as he awoke with a start.

"What are you doin' here man?"

"Oh, uh, um, I should go," he said, standing abruptly. "Wait . . . Morgan, were you crying?!" As he fully awoke he noticed Morgan's bloodshot eyes.

"That's not really relevant to what you're doing here . . ." Morgan replied, deflecting the question as he ran a hand over his bald head.

"I came to apologize," Reid explained quietly, "for what I said on the plane . . . about you . . . and meaningless, indiscriminate sex . . ." he hung his head shamefully.

"It's okay . . . just forget it . . ."

"Did you get your drink?"

"Yeah," he replied with a half-smile, "Emily took me out for one . . . or two . . . or a few . . . and then I cried . . . in her car, thankfully, not in the bar . . ."

"I'm sorry you're hurting," Reid whispered.

"Are you sorry things didn't work out with me and Justin?" Morgan asked, testing the waters, trying to discern if there was a bit more to Reid's visit.

Reid averted his eyes. "I don't really think that's relevant . . ."

"Ooooh, but I think it is," the older agent answered as he took a step closer.

The other sighed heavily. "Not especially."

"Why not?"

"I didn't like him."

"You never even met him," Morgan said amusedly.

"What's your point?"

"Were you jealous? Because it kind of sounds like you were . . ." teased Morgan.

Reid's face was beet-red. "Jealousy, like most emotions, is completely irrational."

Morgan smiled and took another step closer. He raised a hand and gently stroked back Reid's hair. "Why'd you run away that night at the bar?"

"Because it's hard enough to watch you pick up women . . . I couldn't watch you hitting on guys too."

"Did it not occur to you that I might be interested in you, that that's why I asked you to go to that club with me, that that's why I came out to you?"

"No," he replied without hesitation.

"Can I ask why not?"

"Because why would someone like you ever want to be with someone like me?"

Morgan shook his head, then framed Reid's face with his hands as he leaned in to kiss him.
