...Well, Rossi had managed one thing, at least. He'd completely shorted out Reid's huge brain.
"...Excuse me?"
He had no idea how to respond. No one had outright told him that they were in love with him before, especially no one that he had secretly admired from afar for so long. He didn't look unreceptive to the idea (he was far from unreceptive, he would have to admit), just really, really confused.
"...Are you sure that's not transference?"
It was really the only explanation he could think of, since it did not process that someone might actually love him for him. It seemed strange that a man with nerves of steel who had been working with serial killers for decades would actually be affected by transference when a teammate saved him, but it was the only thing that made any kind of sense to Reid.
(( OOC: I love the interpretation of Rossi's family. Also, for someone so smart, Reid's an idiot sometimes. ))
