[Criminal Minds] Wooden Legs of Justice

Chapter 26 She Is Lonelier Than Fireworks

Dr. Reid is very satisfied with his current living conditions.

The heavy snow, which lasted intermittently for more than a month, finally stopped. Although the long-lost sunshine was a bit weak and short-lived, it finally enveloped Washington.Of course, more importantly, there are no serial killers.

Of course, he would be more satisfied if he could avoid the evil hospital during the Christmas holiday.

Reid spent a week and a half in the hospital.Although Leo brings different books to entertain him every day and stays with him, Reid still feels that being hospitalized is a painful thing.He hated the pungent smell of disinfectant, which would bring her bad memories.

His relationship with Leo had completely changed after that snowstorm night.

Rossi and hotch seemed happy that Reid had such a friend.They obviously haven't understood that their friend is in double quotation marks.

"Morgan will cry," Leo remarked.

Leo's thoughtfulness in the hospital made Reid blush a little bit, cough cough, well, he should be a little overwhelmed.For example, now, "Reid, eat some pears, the doctor said it is good for the lungs." The handsome yuppie peeled the skin with his slender fingers like magic, and cut the pears into small pieces on the fork, and handed them to Reid under the nose.

Reid glanced at Leo twice, but the man remained unmoved.Well, I obediently ate it.

"A lot of fairy tales." Leo flipped through the books he recently brought to Reid, "Have you been reading these recently?"

Leo felt that Reid must be doing some research.He knew that Reid had always wanted to go to the Yale School of Letters as a graduate student, but gave up because of too many required courses.

"So, how about the topic "On Social Violence in Children's Literature"?" Leo suggested.While stroking the soft hair of his little doctor. Reid hummed comfortably.

"Hey, great! Just as I thought!" Reid replied vaguely.He likes to have such a caring big lion to accompany him.

Since the "fairy-tale corrector" case, Reid's research interests have suddenly turned to sex.

"Every fairy tale is written by an adult, with an adult personality attached, hidden desires hidden by the author. Stay in the story, become a twisted shadow, planted in the heart of a child, and when the time is right, it will take root and germinate How about this opening?" Leo continued.

"You are simply a great writer, Leo!" Reid admired, "Unlike me, who always deal with all kinds of data." Reid loves his excellent friend very much, ahem, well, it's a boyfriend!He's still not used to calling Leo his boyfriend.

The "Book of Lost Things" recommended by the big lion makes the little doctor love it.

"A thrilling, gorgeous and simple fairy tale. Full of humanistic spirit." Ray commented, "It's hard to imagine that John Connery also wrote such a book."

Meanwhile, he watched the movie "Pan's Labyrinth" recommended by Leo.

"Hey, it feels very similar to "Book of Lost Things"! It is also indistinguishable from fairy tales and reality, mysterious and sad."

Reid felt that Leo could do anything.

"Leo, tell me with your humanist head, why both "thebookoflostthings" and "ElLaberintodelFauno" were children during the war? I don't have any data on this. Could it be that wars cause paranoia or schizophrenia?"

"The trauma of war is engraved on the next generation. The morbid thoughts in the heart reflect the pursuit of self-awareness. How about this answer?" Leo looked at Reid's long eyelashes dyed golden by the sun, as if in A butterfly flapping its wings in the sun.

""Another Me"? Freud's stuff has always been obscure..." Reid tilted his head, his smooth forehead and face were gilded with a light gold by the warm winter sun.

The big lion couldn't bear it any longer, so he rushed forward and gave him a kiss.

The little doctor was kissed in the dark, and when he was able to breathe, his eyes were red, his mouth was red, and even his little face was red. Leo looked at the little doctor in his arms, and suddenly found that there are such beautiful and clean people in the world.

"Children are the cruelest because of their ignorance."

Although Reid repeatedly assured that he could do it, Leo still insisted on picking up the little doctor and leaving the hospital.

"I thought, with our current relationship, you don't need to refuse. We can just celebrate together." Dr. Reid was a little moved by Leo's proposal, and finally gave up the plan to go home and classify the archives.

What could be better than celebrating a belated Christmas with your boyfriend?Apparently, these two are still in the honeymoon phase.

Leo's Christmas gift made the little doctor extremely satisfied-a weird-looking French bulldog.

"I think it looks like me!" Reid made the same expression as the dog in his arms.

"It's a pity that I don't have more time to take good care of it." Reid fondled the fluffy, belly-rolling puppy.

"It's okay, you can keep it in my house. You can come to see it later, and take it home when you have time. My housekeeper can take care of it." Leo said this with absolutely no good intentions.

"Hey! You still have a butler." Reid was surprised now.

"Oh, it's just a habit of some ancient families." Leo explained vaguely.Fortunately, Reid didn't delve into it.

"Then I can go see it often." Reid scratched the dog's belly, and the French bulldog made a "whoosh" sound, looking very happy.

"Of course!" The big lion smiled happily. "This is your dog, what do you want to call it?"

"Oh, let's call it Scooby-Doo." Reid happily confirmed the name.

"I think Scooby-Doo is a Great Dane." Leo cast a suspicious glance at the cheerful French Bulldog's physique.

"Leo, trust me, I don't want to go to any restaurant to celebrate, any one!" Reid insisted to Leo repeatedly.

Apparently, he didn't want to see a picture in the menu again, no matter what it was about. Leo's expression darkened, obviously, he knew what Reid meant.

But Leo didn't have the idea of ​​eating out at first... If he brought the little doctor home...

"Then, is Dr. Reid interested in visiting my house?" Leo was kind.

"To your house? Oh, I mean that would be great." Reid didn't expect Leo to invite him to his house.You must know that Leo is a pure Germanic man. Even if they are in a relationship, the indifferent Germanic man likes to keep a distance from each other.But being able to receive the invitation, Reid was still very happy, completely ignoring his boyfriend's bad intentions.

In Dr. Reid's [-] years of life, there were few opportunities to visit other people's homes. He was always isolated and rejected.He's not as popular as JJ.

Leo's residence is on the right bank of the Potomato River, near the Georgetown Waterway and Whitehurst Expressway in the western suburbs of Washington DC. It is a beautiful villa area.

"Rich people's stuff," Reid thought to himself.

Leo's superior-performance George Patton drove the two of them from the southwest district of Washington, across the entire Washington, to Georgetown.

Reid nervously squeezed the satchel in his hand as he got out of the car.I always feel that there is no faux pas in any gift for the first visit.The last time I was a guest at Rossi's house, it was JJ who helped him choose a gift.

"Don't be nervous, my little friend, you are at your boyfriend's house." Leo's words made Reid relax a lot.

"BAU's salary is definitely not enough for you to buy this place." Reid looked at the spacious and bright villa - a bit of low-key luxury.

Reid remembered the car he saw in Leo's garage just now, knightxv or something...

"Although the benefits are pretty good, but this is Washington DC! Prices are 1.089 times the national average..." Reid maliciously proved one thing with a series of data that made Leo dizzy—his salary is even higher. It is impossible to pay for his current living expenses even if the price is doubled.

"And this," Reid pointed to the bottle of Remy Martin's Louis XIV on the wine cabinet, "luxury!"

"Hey, little doctor, you don't have to worry about your boyfriend's financial situation. Believe me, my source of wealth is legitimate." Leo had to explain to Reid. Reid's eyes were full of doubts, and Leo felt that if he didn't explain that his income and expenditure were absolutely legal, the little doctor would definitely send him to the ICAC.

"Actually, you can go with Garcia to those congressmen on Capitol Hill on August [-], believe me their problems will be even bigger." Leo rubbed his temples.

Reid thought about it seriously, "No, no, I don't want to take care of their affairs." Reid said seriously.

"Har...Master Harrington, lunch is ready." Reid was startled by Lucas who suddenly appeared behind him. Reid glanced at Lucas suspiciously, always feeling that he was going to call him another surname just now.The old housekeeper with a goatee and a strict dress was also quietly looking at the first friend brought back by his young master.

"This is Lucas, my butler I mentioned to you." Leo replied lightly.

For a moment, the image of Leo in Reid's mind coincided with the image of the great European nobles at the end of the Middle Ages.

"He actually has a butler!" The little doctor sighed, but he still introduced himself politely: "Spencer. Reid, I belong to Leo, oh, friend." Reid's tongue rolled and he was almost bitten by his own teeth arrive.

"It's a boyfriend." Leo put his arms around the little doctor and corrected him.Looking at the little doctor in his arms, he quickly became red and smoldering.

Lucas let out an "oh" and raised his eyebrows, but there was no surprise in his expression, but a hint of teasing on the contrary.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." The old butler bowed solemnly, and led them to the restaurant.

"Maybe, he really came from a big family." Reid thought to himself.But he doesn't seem to be going to tell me...

During the meal, lucas appeared next to Leo again. Reid saw him lower his head, whispering something in Leo's ear. Reid only vaguely heard something, "Moscow", "Tim".It probably wasn't a good thing, because Leo's brows were slightly gathered in the middle. Leo was silent for a while, seemed to be thinking about something, and finally, "OK", he said.

Reid gave them a suspicious look, and finally decided not to ask anything. Leo would of course tell him when he wanted him to know.The little doctor thought to himself.So continue to eat.

After lunch, Reid embraced the Sri Lankan black tea that Leo made for him, and enjoyed the warm afternoon sunshine while visiting Leo's bookcase.

""The Old Regime and the Great Revolution"? Leo, I didn't know you would read such a book." Reid marveled at his boyfriend's amazing intelligence, "It's hard to imagine that you were a mercenary, Leo! Look at you Bookcase! I think you're a college professor." Reid was curious about these kinds of books, which were different from the types of books he read.

"I thought you would have a lot of common topics with Dianna. Unlike me, who only listens most of the time. Dianna doesn't like my data very much. Although she doesn't talk, she always listens with tolerance. But I I know." Leo leaned against the door, looked at Reid with his back turned to him, and could almost imagine his expression—some eyes lowered in frustration, with a wry smile on his lips.

His little doctor is always worried that others don't like him, but he doesn't know that in BAU, he has already become everyone's pet.

"Dianna is a very easy-going lady." Leo changed the topic, took Reid's empty cup, and went back to the living room to add black tea.

"Of course, although sometimes there will be some problems. But

I love her anytime. "reid replied, still in a depressed mood.

The little doctor saw a painting album that was not put away, and Reid flipped through it casually. It was Leo's painting, and each of them had his signature in a beautiful copper plate at the bottom corner.

There are all kinds of unique landscapes hidden in the picture album - neon city, skinny mountains, misty forest... Finally, a sketch fell out, not as colorful as the previous one, just a black, white and gray The world—a young man with a sideways face as if enjoying the sun, his tie can't be tied well, the manual is an open file, and a cup of coffee is steaming.The young man's hair swayed softly by his ears, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.This person is very familiar to him, but also very strange.This is Spencer. Reid.

Reid never knew he could have such a beautiful expression.In the painting is a beautiful young man, with a classical feeling that is incompatible with modern society, slender and fragile, just like the young Werther described by Goethe. Reid always feels like a machine made up of data, a monster in modern society, slow to express emotions.

Reid put the painting back into the album, walked back to the living room, looked at the handsome man who handed him the refilled cup of black tea, Reid smiled: "Maybe, you'd be happy to visit dianna when you have time."

All afternoon, Leo and Reid cuddled together. Reid's furry head was neatly resting on the thick chest of the big lion.

The movie playing in the home theater came to an end.A dim beach, lonely and deserted.Ireland's beaches are rough and majestic, with frothy waves lapping bony rocky shores.The blond girl stood by the sea, looking at the deep sea.A little girl in a wool coat and plaid skirt ran up behind her.The two looked at each other for a while, "Who are you?" The little girl raised her immature face and asked a lonely girl, but she didn't answer.The long-time girl gently hugged the girl who ran over.The shot coincides with the opening scene of the film. "Jackie, don't worry," she said, with a tender yet sad expression.The movie ended, the melodious cello played the Elgar Concerto, and the subtitles played "Hilary and Jackie" again.The 121-minute Jacqueline DuPre documentary is over.

The younger sister Jackie's childlike innocent eyes are gradually eroding her sister's peaceful happiness.

Reid didn't say anything for a long time, "Why?" he finally asked.

"Everyone longs to be each other." Leo took the cold tea from Reid's hand.
