a/n: still on my slow rewatch, i haven't finished season 5 but i know for a fact that long-haired jesus reid is coming to an end, so this fic is for him specifically hehe
-
spencer shuts his mouth immediately, and regrets ever having the ability to even speak at all. the way you’re looking at him makes him want to curl up into himself.
“that was rude. all i asked was if you wanted to grab lunch.” you stuff your phone in your pocket aggressively, about facing the opposite direction from him.
“wait, wait, wait.” he grabs you by the crook of your elbow, slightly yanking to keep you from walking away from him but not so much that you tip over and lose your balance. it’s now or never, and spencer will be damned if he lets you walk away without even trying to make you understand what he’s been trying to tell you.
you groan, and he hates that he can hear the frustration and confusion emitting from you. hates it because he knows how it feels- he’s been feeling it for months. along with this gnawing feeling in his stomach and a clawing feeling in his chest and an ache in his heart (but he’ll ignore that for now- he’s got things to do and words to say).
you move your free hand to run it through the top of your head, brushing any stray hairs from your face. you let out a quick breath from your mouth, and turn your head towards spencer. you make your body so that it’s still mostly facing away from him slightly. “what? you’re gonna explain why you’re suddenly just changing it up on me? being rude to me out of nowhere? if we can’t be friends right now then i don’t think there’s a reason for us to talk outside of work-“
“i don’t-!” he clears his throat because he doesn’t mean to raise his voice in the middle of the work day. his eyes scan the room quickly, and he finds himself thankful that most of the floor has gone out for lunch. those that are here still seem to have either not heard him or are choosing to ignore his outburst. “i’m sorry, i didn’t mean to shout… can we- can we talk somewhere more private?”
when you don’t show any signs of saying yes, he pulls out the big guns. releasing your arm, he takes hold of your hand instead. gently, unsure. his bottom lip juts out only slightly, just enough that he knows he’s sure you’ve seen it. and he’s sure, because your eyes land on his lips for a second. “please?”
“ugh, fine.” you shake your hand from his. “there’s no one in penelope’s office,” you say as you begin to walk in the direction of your coworker's office. you don’t bother looking back at spencer until your hand finds the door handle. “why are you still sitting? come on! i don’t have all day and i have to grab a snack after this.”
grabbing his bag and getting up from his chair, spencer makes his way (clumsily) to follow you out the door. “i can explain myself,” he says to your back while you both trek your way to penelope’s office.
he practically hears your eyes roll when you respond with, “i’m sure you can.” you turn left because you accidentally lead the both of you the wrong way, so now you’re taking the scenic route.
“i think we took the-“
“i know,” you cut him off, finally reaching penelope’s door. you open it and aren’t surprised you find it unlocked. neither of you are surprised to find that all the computer screens are locked as well. she wouldn’t be penelope if she didn’t secure her babies.
“okay, we have a few minutes before penelope enters her lair.” you turn to him, hands on your hips and tapping your foot impatiently. “well?”
it’s spencer’s turn to brush his fingers through his hair. he knew what he wanted to say before this- had a whole 20 second speech prepared that ended with a small lie of him not actually being hungry. why couldn’t he think of it now?
i’m sorry. I’m not hungry right now so i didn’t want to get sandwiches with you.
i didn’t mean to tell you to leave me alone like that, or use that tone of voice. or to call you nosey.
in fact, i don’t think i ever want you to leave me alone. i’d eat a hundred sandwiches if it meant spending lunch with you.
“spencer?”
when he takes a good look at you, he forgets everything he wanted to say. “u-uhm,” he bites his lower lip. “i-i’m sorry, i usually… i usually don’t forget what i want to say.” not a lie, not a truth. he has fragments of what he wants to say dangling in his brain, but no way to string them all together.
you smack your lips and cross your arms. “reid, really? you tell me to leave you alone, then you tell me to talk privately- why are you pulling my leg?”
it hits him when he remembers you saying if we cant be friends-
“i don’t want to be your friend,” he tells you directly, looking into your eyes. it takes everything in him not to break eye contact. it gets harder to not look away when you’re staring right back at him with eyes expectant. waiting. almost impatient looking.
and they change slightly. now he sees hurt, worry, sadness. your foot stops tapping. “you… you don’t want to be… friends?” you cross your arms, and spencer knows you’re getting defensive and closed-off. you’re getting ready to leave the room.
but his hands find your upper arms and slides down them, releasing you from your knot and landing at your wrist. he turns them upward, and rubs his thumbs against them in small circles. “i-i don’t want to be just your friend,” he says again, but with more intention.
now he sees something new in you- confusion, curiosity. “just my friend?”
“not just your friend,” he repeats. “I feel like… no. i think i-i want to… to fall in love with you,” he says finally, and his face feels hot and his throat feels dry.
shit, he thinks, that’s not what i was going to say. i didn’t mean to say love! like would have sufficed just fine!
what he should have said was that he liked you more than he would any other person, that you made him feel like he was floating or that he was flying.
spencer feels his stomach drop when you don’t respond to him right away, and he lets his hands begin to fall from your wrist. “that came out wr-“
but you grab his hands into your own before physical contact can even break. “you what?”
“i mean- i did want to be your friend, i do want to be your friend it’s just that i,” he doesn’t know where his sentence is leading but he knows that he wants you to know that wanting to be with you wasn’t his intention at first. “i think… i think you’re great. you’re smart and you’re pretty, and sometimes i notice that you match your socks to your blouse- why are you looking at me like that?”
you're biting your bottom lip to hold back your smile, but the sparkle in your eyes and the crinkle at the corners give you away. you’re happy- nervous, but happy. at least, that’s what spencer speculates when he takes a look at you.
“i feel like i should be mad at you,” you admit, letting go of his hands so that you can rub yours together. penelope’s cave is cold. “liking someone isn’t an excuse to snap at them the way you did to me earlier.”
“i know, and i’m so sorry-“
you cut him off again. “let me finish.” and his lips shut.
not knowing what to do with his now vacant hands, he stuffs them in his pockets and fingers the lint that has made its way into them.
“do you know why i ask you out for lunch all the time?” you ask him, pointing one of your index fingers to his chest.
spencer shakes his head. “because you… like the company and camaraderie?”
“i like your company,” the finger against his chest pushes in slightly, and you take a step back so you don’t have to continue to crane your neck at a weird angle to look up at him. “i like you.”
a confession, spencer thinks to himself, wasn’t on his list of things he expected to happen today. “me?” in attempts to keep a grin from forming, he purses his lips together. it doesn’t help, because now he’s grinning with his teeth in full display.
he tilts his head to the side in disbelief. “r-really?”
“yes, really!” a new third party squeals excitedly from behind.
both you and spencer bring your attention towards the door. spencer shouldn’t be surprised to find penelope in her own doorway, but he is. and so it seems are you.
penelope dances in, doing a happy little shake as she prances past the two of you to set her things and then herself down. neither of your eyes leave her as she settles herself in. spencer feels like his eyes are as wide as they can possibly be and he wonders if you’re feeling the same way, because when he looks at you he thinks that he’s sporting the same look of a deer caught in the headlights.
no one says anything. only the sound of a pastry being released from it’s parchment prison by penelope fills the room until you finally say, “how long have you been standing there?”
the tech beauty of the team rips a piece of her danish to pop it in her mouth and chews on it for a few seconds, exhaling happily when the taste finally hits her tongue. she swallows before she give you her answer. “i’ve been here since…,” she checks her naked wrist as if she were checking the time, and then looks up to smirk at spencer, “since the boy genius said he wanted to- what was it again, dr. reid?”
taken aback by being thrown into the conversation so suddenly, spencer stumbles on his words. “u-uhm, i uh, i said i-”
“ah that’s right,” penelope smiles, setting her pastry down and dusting her hands off. “you said you would like to fall in love with our dear friend here?” she points to you and winks.
if spencer’s eyes could get any wider and if his face could find a darker shade of pink he knows they would.
“so,” penelope crosses her legs and leans back in her chair. her eyes haven’t left you, and spencer is thankful that he doesn’t have to face the intensity he sees in penelope. “i see your dream’s coming true, love bug,” she says to you, and spencer sees you bite your thumbnail to try and hide your smile.
you finally look at spencer, and he feels his stomach flutter. “i really, really like you spencer,” you say to him to finish off your interrupted conversation.
the one where you get spencer coffee every wednesday
spencer reid x f reader
wc: 779
mentions of: coffee, possibly being allergic to caffeine, a scone
emily notices that you tend to get spencer coffee every wednesday morning.
a/n: fun little writing sprint i did during my freetime :) not edited, but i wanted to get some juices flowing since it's been awhile. just a cute little something!
-
“good morning, spencer! i got you coffee- extra sugar,” emily sings using a high-pitched voice, walking towards spencer’s desk empty handed with no coffee in sight. she has a knowing grin on her face and wiggles her body in a way that says she’s giddy and excited.
for what? he has no idea- it’s too early in the morning for emily to be excited, he thinks to himself. but he smiles back at her anyway, looking up from the knick-knack he was toying with on his desk. it helps his brain turn on before he actually started some real work. he quite liked it.
“and good morning to you, too,” he says, keeping that same smile on his face but looking confused. so he says, “i’m confused? you said you got me coffee but-”
“well, i didn’t get you coffee,” emily begins to explain, wheeling the chair closest to her so that she may take a seat next to spencer, leaning on the back of the chair to keep her supported. “but we all know someone likes to get you coffee every wednesday on their way to work.” the grin never leaves her face, and her words are laced with light teasing that spencer barely catches.
he purses his lips together to pout in an attempt to keep his smile from growing. “what? no,” he denies, shaking his head and twiddling his fingers together. “that’s not– i-it’s probably just a coincidence that it happens on a wednesday. she’s only brought me coffee twice,” he recalls erroneously on purpose.
emily winks at him and gives a knowing nod. “sure, spence. only twice ever. not every wednesday for the past 4 weeks.”
his brows knit together at her, and he nods back. “only twice- i’ve never asked her to get me anything. and she probably won’t get me any today-”
she looks down at his desk, and quickly looks back up to stare at him. “well if she isn’t going to get you any coffee today, why didn’t you make yourself a cup in the kitchenette?”
when his eyes go wide like a deer caught in headlights, emily know’s she’s got him.
spencer opens his mouth to begin explaining, his brain racking for a reasonable explanation. he was waiting to drink coffee. he was quitting caffeine. he had coffee before work. he’s suddenly allergic to coffee, deathly allergic, so he needs to stop immediately. he found out he was allergic last night, actually. “i-if you,” he clears his throat, buying himself more time to think. “if you must know, i-”
and before he could finish his excuse, they hear the door swing open. they both hear the footsteps of a newcomer, followed by a bright and shining, “hi, spencer! i brought you some coffee- extra sugar.”
both emily and spencer turn their heads and greet you with a smile. but you miss the way emily smirks at spencer before that. “i was spot-on,” emily whispers, taking the opportunity to gloat before you’re in earshot. lucky for spencer, you’ve stopped at your desk first to put your things away.
“shut up,” he mutters back, but he can’t stop the redness from hitting his ears. “and you actually weren’t spot on- she said hi, not good morning.”
when you make your way to them, spencer stands and greets you with another smile. “thank you for the coffee. uhm, how much do i owe you…?” he asks, trailing off. he didn’t ask for coffee, but he doesn’t think anything is free.
you look at him confused, tilting your head. “you don’t owe me for the coffee? i got it because i thought of you.” you smile then, close-lipped and cheeky. “oh! wait,” you rush back to your desk, grabbing a small paper bag from your work bag.
making your way back, you stop by the chair emily sits and place the bag on her lap. “the scone you asked for, my friend.”
emily says your name like you’re an angel sent from above. “you’re the best,” she says, reaching into the bag and taking the scone out a little less than half way. “oh shoot. i need a napkin. spence, would you be so kind and grab me a napkin or two?”
with the cup of coffee in his hands, he nods and takes his leave. and when he does, you ask, “is it working? am i charming him? is the coffee a good start?”
“oh, it’s definitely working,” emily confirms. “i asked him about the coffee’s you’ve been getting him. he got flustered and lied about how many times you’ve gotten him coffee. but i know how many times,” she states. “i’ve counted.”
