"You shouldn't have let me even before." And this was the problem, Reid let him too often.
"Of course I am relieved. God, Reid, you told me she was dead, and she is my partner. She has a place in our family, we all have our roles. It doesn't make one better than the other. It just makes different, all of us," he pointed out. "There's nothing wrong with that. This is why we're so strong as a team. We all have our strengths and our weaknesses and together we work."
He shook his head. "That's- I see you like a younger brother, yes. I can't help what I feel, Reid. It's not that I think you're weak, but my feelings for you are those of family, not those of a lover. So I fucked up there too. I was just trying to explain that I can't see us in a relationship because I don't have those kind of feelings, and I wouldn't have sex just for the hell of it. I respect you too much for that, even when you suggested it, I can't, because you mean something to me. If you were some random person, then sure, sex would be fine, but you- If I can't give you more, then it can't even be sex, not because you're not attractive, but because it's not right."
