morgan's face when reid brings up having nightmares is gonna make me cry. he goes from teasing him over the amount of sugar in his coffee to concerned so quick. i need to lay down.

Indoors, a man in a suit gives a look of concern to the out-of-focus figure of another man in the foreground. The subtitle at the bottom of the image reads: "nightmares would be a more accurate description."
The same man, gaze aimed slightly down and to the left. The subtitle at the bottom of the image reads: "Is that what's keeping you up?"

he is the best friend and he has so much love in his heart he can't contain it. derek morgan i love you dearly.

The same man, head tilted back up. The subtitle at the bottom of the image reads: "Reid, I'm not sure if I'm the right person for you to talk to about this."

you are though!! you are!!

this scene just makes my head explode. the instant switch from teasing to concern. the facial expressions. telling reid to talk to gideon and then doing it for him when it becomes clear he's not going to. what if i collapsed.

i am once again thinking about morgan's protectiveness over reid this episode.

Three men stand outdoors at night. From right to left: a teenage boy in a blue letterman jacket, a man with a purple scarf, and a man in a dark jacket. The subtitle at the bottom of the image reads: "I want you to go to the house and see"
Subtitles: 
-"if the deputies have come back."
and
-"What?"
A close-up of the man in the dark jacket, addressing the man in the purple scarf. The subtitle at the bottom of the image read: "We need the sheriff and the crime scene team here."
A close-up of the man in the purple scarf. His face is shadowed and he looks contemplative. The subtitles at the bottom of the image read:
-"But..."
and
-"Reid, do it."

it's a little hard to tell because there's a scene with the rest of the team interrupting this scene and the next, but as best as I can tell. Morgan telling Reid to go back to the house is immediately followed by Morgan confronting Cory.

The teenager in the blue letterman jacket faces the man in the dark jacket, brows furrowed and mouth open. The subtitle at the bottom of the image reads: "This was more than just a lucky guess, wasn't it?"

Reid isn't the most suited for physical confrontation (which Morgan knows this will likely escalate to) at the best of times, but he's especially not ready for it now. He's tired, kept up by nightmares, embarrassed by his superiors knowing about them, nervous about losing his job over it, and probably still feels a little betrayed by Morgan telling them without his permission even though at this point he understands why he did. So, Morgan tells him to leave, and gives him no indication that he thinks Cory is the unsub. Maybe even waits until Reid is a safe distance away to confront Cory. Trying to keep him out of harms way.

The teenager in the blue letterman jacket aims a gun at the cheek of the man in the purple scarf, his free arm wrapped around his neck. The man in the purple scarf has his hands up in surrender, and the man in the dark jacket aims his own gun at the teenager.

Unfortunately, there was nobody at the house to bring back to the scene (because they were already on their way) and Spencer "Danger Magnet" Reid came back quicker than I think Morgan was hoping for. Better luck next time!

self-rbing this with my own tags screenshotted because rahhhh derek morgan character of all time. also the post im referencing is this one.

#i love derek morgan so much I wish he was real we could talk about women together #but really truly he is the friend of all time #i saw one of those posts pairing criminal minds characters with various devastating quotes #as one does #and the one they chose for morgan was smth like "people like us don't have people. we are the people that people have." #and it made me want to eat my laptop #i dont think he understands how good of a person he is and severely underestimates his capacity for love and care

rbing with my own tags screenshotted again:

#also i always forget how well reid got along with cory until i rewatch the episode </3 #he thought he found sometime he related to and was like "oh nvm. he's a murderer. well hopefully this never happens again!"
A man in a brown coat stands in an office cubicle, holding a pigskin football in his hands and looking down at it. On the ledge in front of him are several trophies, and several articles tacked up on the wall. The subtitle at the bottom of the image reads: CORY: "Do you play ball?"
The man holding the pigskin football has turned around to face the out-of-focus figure of a teenage boy in a blue varsity jacket. He is smiling, clearly amused. The subtitle at the bottom of the image reads: "No."

Reid's little laugh when Cory asks him if he plays ball is so funny. Does he look like he does? That man was the ball.
