Reid appreciated the gentleness with which he was being treated. He doubted that Rossi was like this with all his love interests, and he liked being eased into the situation, given time to adjust.

At the feeling of Rossi's lips against his knuckles, his breathing hitched slightly in surprise and his cheeks became red, but once more, he didn't pull away. Instead, he closed his eyes, completely ignoring the movie for a moment. Rossi's breath was warm on his skin. His goatee brushed against Reid's fingers. It felt like his nerves were suddenly ten times more sensitive than normal.

"You're making it really hard to watch the movie," Reid said quietly, giving a small breathy laugh. He wasn't complaining at all.
