SLASH WARNING!!!  Hotch / Reid

Written for the Chit Chat on Author’s Corner Halloween Horrors Challenge.  The moderators supplied a number of titles of the novels of the Master of Horror himself, Stephen King.  We were to pick any title and write a fic using that as the prompt.  I chose, “Cycle of the Werewolf”.

I don't own this. 


Chapter 3


Sadly, Reid’s arm wasn’t better by the next full moon, and they ended up on a case in Utah.  But the next month, Hotch quietly asked to give the team some time off…  and he focused it right around the full moon…

The team was ecstatic.  Morgan was going on and on about what he was going to do on his week off, and trying to bully Reid into going with him.  Reid quietly, but firmly, turned him down every time.  And finally…

“ALRIGHT!!!”

Reid jumped, startled.

“Vacation!”  Morgan crowed, standing, slamming his desk drawer closed, flicking off his desk lamp and grabbing his bag.

Reid scowled as he tried to soothe his pounding heart.

“I’m gone.”  Rossi announced, striding out of his already darkened office.

“Me too!”  Garcia squealed, entering the bullpen, JJ not far behind her.

“And…  I’m done!”  Emily announced, finishing her last file with a flourish and closing it, setting it on top of the stack of completed paperwork.  Reid smiled at his team fondly, then looked up at Hotch’s office.  The man was still diligently working.  Reid let out an impatient sigh…  he knew that the full moon was in a few days…  and he was looking forward to it with more eagerness than he had expected…

“Hey kid!”  Reid turned.  The team was in the doorway.  “You comin’?”

“I have another few files to finish.  You guys have fun, though!”

“You sure you don’t wanna—“

“I’m sure, Morgan.”  Reid smiled.  “Thanks.”

“Alright…  see you next week, kid.”

“Bye, Butter Cream!”
