Elijah had woken up earlier after a.. Dream about Emily. He'd done his best to stay quiet and was cuddled into Reid's side. Although Reid had woken up, looking down at Elijah in his arms.
Elijah looked up at him, only then realizing he was awake,"Did I wake you?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"Perfectly sure."
Elijah sighed and held Reid closer to him.
"If anything, the cats woke me up."
"..I can't stop thinking about her." Elijah shook his head.
"I know." Reid sighed, stroking his hair.
"Can you.. Could you read to me?" Elijah asked quietly.
"Of course." Reid leaned over to grab a book.
"Thank you." Elijah smiled softly.
"Any preference?"
"Just.. Anything. I need to hear your voice."
Reid nodded and grabbed a nearby book, beginning to read it aloud. Elijah smiled, feeling himself start to relax and fall back asleep.. Until his phone rang.
"What now?" He groaned.
Elijah grabbed the phone from his bedside table and answered it,"What?"
"Where are you?" JJ asked him.
"I'm in bed."
"Right- Sorry. We've got to come in." JJ sighed.
"Of course we do." Elijah mumbled.
"I'm sorry." She shook her head.
"It's fine- We'll be there." Elijah told her.
"Thank you." JJ hung up.
"A case this late?" Reid asked.
"Apparently, JJ just said we needed to come in." Elijah laid back down on Reid's chest,"..Do we have to go?"
"If we want paid..And to save people? Yeah." Reid nodded.
"Fine.. But could you recite something you know off by heart or something?" Elijah looked up at him.
"I will on the way there."
"Thank you." Elijah smiled softly.

"It's too early to have a case, and to send it by voice message?" Fleur groaned as she got dressed.
"I know what you mean." Morgan pulled on a t-shirt,, squinting at the clock,"What time even is it?"
"Five? Six? I don't know, I need to wear my glasses more often." Fleur shook her head.
"You look cute with them on." Morgan commented.
"You think?" She hummed.
"I don't think. I know."
Fleur kissed his cheek as she grabbed her shirt.
Morgan smiled at her,"Then again, you always look cute."
"Merci." Fleur winked.
"You're welcome, princess." Morgan nodded as he walked up to her.
"I hope everything's okay." Fleur sighed.
"It will be." Morgan assured her,"We'll make sure of it."
