asimplechordSorry for spamming y'all. And sorry these are so late. I've got a few more to do yet, and some other fic to type and post.
Next drabble-type things for the Music is my boyfriend meme.

whispers_of_me's number corresponded to Intro, from The Hush Sound's Goodbye Blues. (m4a format)
Criminal Minds, Reid/Morgan, spoilers for Elephant's Memory, 225 words.
I'll keep you safely in my arms and close your ears to not hear harm
Morgan sits in a seat by the window and lets Hotch talk to Reid on the flight back to Quantico. He's still angry, still feeling betrayed.
Reid lied to him, let him - them - think that Owen Savage was going to the cemetery, going to say goodbye to his mother, when he knew otherwise. (Morgan remembered too late that Reid pointed out the close of each email to Jordan. He still can't believe he was that fucking slow. He forgets sometimes that there's a reason Reid wins at poker.)
He should have known. Reid identified with Owen. No matter what he says, no matter how much he shares or changes or grows, Derek knows that Reid doesn't see himself as he is when he looks in the mirror. He still sees himself as he was then, when he was years younger than his classmates and defenseless, and he was the victim of mean-spirited high school bullies.
Reid lied to him.
Reid put his gun aside.
Reid blocked Owen from all the shooters gathered around the sheriff's office.
Morgan wants to yell at him. He wants to shake him, make him promise never to do it again. Mainly he wants to be back, off the airplane, off campus, somewhere that he can touch Reid, convince him that he's not that isolated, vulnerable boy any longer.

My Chemical Romance, vague Frank/Mikey and Frank/Gerard, 232 words.
Everything worn in,
Like it's a friend
I'm not about
to blow it now
Frank watches. He watches and he waits. He's patient, no matter what some people think.
He's known Mikey longer than he's known any of the other guys, and no matter what happens or doesn't happen on stage, it's Mikey he focuses on, Mikey he worries about. Mikey worries enough about Gerard for both of them.
When Gerard hits rock bottom, Frank knows. He knows before Mikey, and he tries to shield him from the worst of it. Most people think Mikey's a space cadet; Frank knows he's not. He's maybe the smartest guy Frank knows, and Frank wonders what Mikey might've done with that brain of his if Gerard hadn't needed him. He wonders what Mikey will do when so much of his mental and emotional capital isn't spent propping up his older brother.
Gerard is steadily on the upswing now, enough that Mikey relaxes a little bit. Frank wonders if maybe now Mikey will look around and see what's been in front of him all this time.
But one evening in the back lounge, Gerard curls against Frank's back and pushes his nose into Frank's neck - nothing he hasn't done on stage before, but totally not how they are in private - and Frank looks up to see Mikey watching them, a sad smile on his face.
He knows then that Mikey will always help Gerard get what he wants.
