Elijah hummed as he sorted through some of his old things. He'd decided to clean under his bed, which he had.. Definitely done recently.

"Jesus, there's a lot of stuff." Reid looked around.

"Well, some of this is probably my old college stuff." Elijah sighed as he picked up a small box.

"Can I see?" Reid leaned over.

"Oh, the box?"

"Mhm."

Elijah nodded, handing it over,"I think I know what's in it."

Reid took the box, opening it up and looking inside. It was a stack of old photos of Elijah and his group of friends from college.

"This is cute.. He's not, fuck him." Reid pointed towards James.

"Jessie took them.. She wanted to be a photographer." Elijah sighed.

"Eli." He sighed and hugged his side.

"No, it's okay. She wouldn't want me to be upset." Elijah leaned into him, looking at the pictures,"God, look at me."

"You're so cute." Reid hummed.

"I look ill." Elijah sighed.

"You probably were." He rubbed his back.

"I know I was."

"But you're better now."

"I want to think of the good times back then, but I can't even remember most of them." Elijah shook his head.

"Don't worry about it, okay?" He kissed his head.

"..Okay."

"You're better now." He smiled.

"And I have you." Elijah hummed.

"Exactly, so I'm better than everyone else."

"I can't agree with that."

"How?" Reid gasped.

"I'm kidding." Elijah chuckled,"You're the best."

"I'd hope so." He nodded.

"You are."

"I'm glad." He smiled.

Elijah kissed his cheek,"Come on, I've still got to clean up this mess."

"I'll help you."

"Good, I'll need it."

"I could never be a FBI Agent." Adelaide covered her face once she heard about their latest case.

"Never say never, Addy." Morgan hummed.

"Nope. Taking lips?" Addy groaned,"Ew, no."

"Well, we got him in the end."

"With a dead body."

"She'd been dead for a long time."

"Nope, not me. I wouldn't even be able to handle it."

"Well, you don't need to." Morgan assured her.

"Good. I'll become something easy.. I don't know what yet, but I will."

"Whatever you choose to be, I know you'll be great at it." Morgan smiled.

"I hope so."

"You will, trust me."

"I mean, I wanna help people."

"There's a lot of ways that you can help people, Addy." Morgan hummed.

"Like..Teaching maybe." She shrugged.
