"Babe." Elijah called to him as he walked downstairs.
"Yeah?" Reid walked out the living room.
"What do you think about the shirt?" Elijah asked.
Reid stopped, biting his cheek before he smiled,"It is..It's very nice."
"Is it?" Elijah raised a brow as he walked closer to Reid.
"Very nice- Very silky and pink." Reid cleared his throat.
"Something the matter, hun?" He hummed.
"Not at all." Reid looked up.
"You're doing that stammering thing, you do it when you're nervous." Elijah put his hand on Reid's shoulder.
"I am not nervous." Reid pointed.
"Really?"
"Really.. Oh- Look, Tony."
"Tony?" Elijah turned.
Reid quickly turned to Rigatoni, picking him up.
"There's my baby boy." Elijah smiled.
"Mh, look after the cat. I have to.. I have to go walk the fish." He blinked.
"Fish- Reid, we don't have fish." Elijah blinked,"..You don't walk them either."
"Okay, love you." Reid smiled and walked to the kitchen.
"Hey- Don't walk away from me." Elijah followed him.
"Elijah, are you wearing that shirt to work?"
"Yes..? Is that a problem?" Elijah asked slowly.
"Not at all I just- Might get distracted." Reid admitted.
"Aw, you think I'm hot." Elijah hummed,"Have I fried your little genius brain?"
"Maybe." Reid bit his cheek.
"You are just too cute." Elijah smirked.
"Shut up." Reid nudged him.
Elijah cupped his cheek,"Do you want that?"
"..No." Reid hummed.
"That's what I thought." Elijah kissed his cheek.
"You suit pink, y'know?"
"Do I?" He chuckled.
"Very much so." Reid nodded.
"I'm glad you think so." Elijah ran his fingers through Reid's hair.
*********************************
Of course, when everyone headed into the office, there was a case. So everyone sat round the table as Reid began to speak.
"Glenport Village, Florida, houses a wide spectrum of non-violent offenders, crimes ranging from statutory rape to public urination in front of children. No rapists or murders until now." He sat down.
"Well, I can tell you one thing. Reverend Santos and his community are dedicated to reform." Tara told them.
"It says here he went to jail for eighteen for impregnating his fifteen year old girlfriend." Rossi pointed.
"Yes, but no offenses since, and forty years and two children later, they're still happily married." She shook her head.
"Am I reading this right? Families with kids live there." Fleur blinked
"The law requires sexual offenders to live certain distances from bus stops, playgrounds, and schools but it says nothing about being their neighbors." Reid explained,"In most cities that's a legal oversight, but in this one it was part of the design plan."
