Tensions Are High (Spencer Reid x Reader)
Hii, this is my first xReader I’ve posted, I wrote it late last night and I’m not super proud of it but I wanted to get over my fear of posting my writing. Hope you like it!
Summary: Set in Season 13 Episode 1 (Season 13 SPOILER WARNING) When the team are looking for Emily. Spencer is extremely frustrated and angry because his brain isn’t working as quickly as usual. Reader is there to help and he unfortunately takes it out on her.
Pairing: Spencer × Female!Reader
“Agent Simmons, Agent Y/L/N thank you so much for coming, we need all the help we can get.” Penelope Garcia greeted both Matt and you when you stepped out of the elevator that evening. You knew that a lot of the team were in hospital and unable to work as well as usual.
“We’ll do whatever we can to help find Emily.” You assured her, gently resting your hand on her arm, she kindly smiled at you.
You had worked with Emily briefly about a year ago and you were very fond of her, she told you that despite your young age you were one of the best new agents she’d ever seen. You had been in awe of her. It was heartbreaking to know that she was now in danger.
“Agent Y/L/N, Agent Simmons, this is Dr. Spencer Reid. We don’t have time to do polite greetings, let’s just get to work.” Garcia said, you smiled at Spencer, but his face remained blank and he looked down at the file in his hands. Garcia handed you a brown file of your own, and you followed Spencer to the board room where you sat on opposite sides of the round table, both silently muttering things to yourselves. Simmons was helping Garcia narrow down some things on the computer so you were alone with Spencer.
After 25 minutes of filtering through each and every detail, neither of you had said anything and eventually you stood up.
“I think that -” You began, but Spencer quickly cut you off.
“What do you think?” He said, his voice aggressive, “What could you possibly be thinking that would be helpful? You’ve been sitting there tapping your nails against the table, barely paying attention, playing with your hair, and frankly, acting like a teenage girl. You’ve done nothing but distract me for the last twenty minutes, and I don’t need some kid agent trying to give me their bullshit input.”
You were extremely taken aback, you couldn’t believe that these words were leaving Spencer’s mouth, you had heard so many different things about him, none of them bad. You hadn’t even noticed you were doing those things, they were involuntary to you. Reid’s words had really upset you but you decided against inappropriately yelling at him like he had just done to you.
“I’m going to pretend you didn’t just say those horrible things, Dr. Reid.” You said, walking towards the door, “Oh, and by the way, Dr. Reid, from what I know, you were once that ‘kid agent’ that no one wanted a bullshit input from.”
You didn’t even bother to look back at Spencer. You walked straight up to Garcia.
“B-Cap is short for Banisteriopsis caapi, it’s often used as a hallucinogen in Ayahuasca.” I stated, dropping the file onto the desk. Both Garcia and Simmons looked up at you flabbergasted that you had come to the conclusion faster than the resident genius. You turned your head to see Spencer Reid with a look on his face that read as deeply shocked.
The team arrived back at HQ, with Emily safe and sound. They all gathered together, hugging one another.
“Y/N!” Emily’s voice was full of joy when she spotted you, you moved towards her and she enveloped you into a big hug. “Spencer told me how you figured it out, thank you for saving my life.”
“Anytime, Emily.” You smiled and she pulled you into another embrace.
You were briefly introduced to Agent Luke Alvez who then informed you that Scratch had died. You were relieved knowing that someone with a history as violent and evil as his was finally gone.
“Agent Y/L/N, could I speak to you privately please?” You heard Spencer standing behind you and you turned and stared at him for a moment.
“Sure.” You said, following him back to the board room.
“I want to apologise for my behaviour earlier, it was extremely unprofessional and I said some horrible things that I didn’t mean.” Spencer stood with his hands in his pockets and he looked up from the floor to you, meeting your eyes.
“Thank you for your apology.” You said, turning to leave.
“Y/N,” Spencer called out, switching to your first name. You spun around on your heel to face him.
“I-I have a long history with Scratch, my mother was abducted this year, I’m just out of prison and I know it’s no excuse for how I acted but I really am sorry, Y/N.” Spencer said, “I’m really embarrassed, and I just want you to know that I don’t see you as a teenage girl or some kid agent. In fact, I think you’re wonderful.”
“Thank you, Spencer, I appreciate it.” You nodded, slightly smiling. “Maybe we’ll work together again soon.”
For the first time that day, Spencer smiled at you.
“I really hope so.” He replied as you left the room.
