he's such a romantic, no one would believe it but he secretly reads a lot of romance books and day dreams about everything he'd do for the love of his life
some people think he's not good with his words but I think he would be, words of affirmation would be one of his love languages especially when he's head over heels for someone
when he's dating you he'd leave little love notes everywhere for you to find, especially when he's away on cases so you're reminded of how much he loves you
every now and again you'll find a poem he wrote just for you
he keeps a picture of you in his wallet and a polaroid of you in his go bag
every time he returns from a case he'll always bring you your favourite treat to surprise you
any chance he gets to talk to someone about you he will and he'll show off the picture he has of you in his wallet
he doesn't know how to set wallpapers on his phone so he asked Garcia if she could help him set pictures of you and him as his wallpaper and home screen
he'll read poetry books and highlight all the poems/lines that make him think of you, he'll sometimes annotate them too and give them to you as a gift to read when he's not home
he's so touchy, anytime he's around you he finds a way to have contact with you (even in public) - a hand on your back/around your waist, holding your hand, resting his head on your shoulder, looping his leg around yours when you're sitting next to each other in public with other people around
he definitely watches you get ready before you both go out for the day, he gets ready first quickly on purpose so he can sit and admire you as you get dressed
sometimes (a lot of the time) he can't help himself from interrupting you as you get ready because he wants to touch you and kiss you all over
he reads up on and researches everything you're interested in so he can hopefully find new facts about it to surprise you with and so he can hear you start rambling about your favourite things
he definitely has so many thoughts during the night, he keeps you up asking you the most random questions whilst spooning you
he's the big spoon unless he's going through something, then he likes being the little spoon
he doesn't let you shower alone, he loves being close to you and washing your hair and giving you back massages in the shower, it's rarely ever sexual, he just likes being close to you
he loves to take care of you when you feel unwell, if you're living separately he'll temporarily move in with you for the week just so he can make sure you're okay - cleaning for you, cooking you food, giving you medicine, running you a bath, watching all your favourite movies with you, he basically doesn't let you lift a finger until you're feeling better
He's not a big baker but anytime you start baking he offers his assistance so he can throw flour at you and start a lil play fight because he lowkey loves to playfully annoy you and hear you giggle as you chase him around your shared flat
He'll also eat all of the chocolate chips when you're baking cookies and has to go buy more for you
His favourite thing after coming home from a long case is having a bath with you, it's become routine since you've been together so you always prepare one when he texts you that he's on his way home
He loves to give you massages, any chance he gets to touch you he'll take and that includes reading extensive masseuse books so he can give you the best ones, he's so gentle and soft with you giving you kisses up your back once he's finished
If you're sitting on the couch he'll insist you sit on his lap or have your body on him in some way, he doesn't like you sitting next to him because to him that's too far away so he'll always pull you on top of him
He loves to read to you when you're cuddled up together and always gives you kisses on your forehead, he gets butterflies when he notices you rubbing your head on his chest as you fall asleep and he'll rub your back and kiss you on your head some more as he smiles
If you're getting takeout he loves to have you try his order and he'll feed you it himself, he enjoys seeing your reaction especially if you don't like it, he'll laugh as he sees you scrunch your face up in disgust because he thinks you look so cute
Part 4
I really love writing these, if you have any specific requests with these I have an ask box too!♡
This is based on my Spencer Reid Boyfriend Headcanons
Gn!reader, lots of fluff (images don't indicate what reader looks like)
Warnings - lowkey implied smut but not expanded upon
This is my first actual fic so I apologies if it's not great, I did my best!
You were in the kitchen setting up all your things to start baking cookies, Spencer who was sitting reading on the couch noticed you running around trying to collect all your things together.
A smile forms on his face as his plan sets in motion in his mind, he waits for you to start the process before he gets up to join you.
Walking into the kitchen, he wraps his arms around your waist and rests his head in the crook of your neck
"can I help baby?" he says as he lays kisses all over your cheek and neck
"do you really want to help or are you trying to disturb my baking process?" you say looking at him with an eyebrow raised
Spencer puts on a fake shocked expression "I don't know what you're talking about y/n/n, I'm actually interested in learning how to make your delicious cookies" he says and smiles innocently
"okay fine, I'm measuring out the ingredients right now so can you please sift the flour into the bowl?" you ask him, satisfied with his answer to just want to help you out.
Spencer smirks to himself and starts sifting flour into the bowl you gave him, he's making a mess with his sweater getting covered in flour and the countertop too
"omg Spencer you're making such a mess" you say as you giggle
"I am not making a mess, what are you talking about?" he says acting confused
You just give him a knowing look like 'yeah okay sure, you don't know'.
Then he bumps into you and starts 'accidentally' sifting the flour fully out of the bowl onto the countertop
"Spencer! you're wasting the flour and eggs!" you shriek as he made you drop the eggs you were holding when he bumped your waist
"oops, sorry baby" he says with a laugh
Then it happens, he just throws the flour onto your top and fakes a shocked expression when you say "oh my god Spencer you said you wanted to help!" with your brows furrowed and arms in the air, he can tell you're ready to get back at him but he keeps going.
He takes more flour and throws it on your hair as he says "what do you mean? am I not helping? is this not how you bake cookies?" his eyebrows furrowed but there's a smirk on his face
"you're gonna regret this" you say pointing to him with your finger, a smile on your face and a tilt of your head, a bright idea popping up in your mind.
You immediately distract him by throwing flour in his face, then when he's trying to wipe it off you quickly grab two of the eggs and get ready to run for him.
He eventually sees what you're planning, he backs up and says in a high pitched voice "don't you dare! not the eggs! I just showered this morning!"
"that's too bad Spence" you say with a laugh as you start running for him
You're chasing him around the apartment, jumping over the couch, running around in circles with the eggs in your hand. Eventually you launch yourself at him, jumping on his back wrapping your legs around his waist and you smash both of the eggs on top of his head and you start laughing as you jump off to look at him.
"Y/N!" he practically shrieks, his head down unsure what to do with the egg dripping off him
You start laughing and he can't help but smile as he hears your giggles, it was his main goal when he started this play fight, to hear your laugh and see your smile.
Eventually he lifts his head and tries to wipe off the egg, he smirks and runs for you, lifting you up so you're bent over his shoulder and running towards the kitchen.
"Spence, NO!" you scream, hitting his back and trying but failing to grab onto any furniture around you to stop him as you realise what he's about to do. He grabs one of the eggs, sets you down and quickly smashes it on your head, then he starts throwing flour over your head to get you covered.
You take a deep breath in, in shock of what's just happened, all you can hear is him laughing and you can't help but start laughing with him.
"you're not getting anymore of my delicious cookies Spencer Reid" you say through giggles as you try and wipe the mess off of you
He looks at you with a pout and hair still also covered in egg, he wraps an arm around your waist and pulls you in to kiss you.
Pulling away but your faces still close enough for lips to touch, he says "if I help you clean up, pinkie promise to never mess with your baking again and buy your favourite takeout for dinner tonight, will you let me still have your perfect, delicious cookies?"
You pretend to think for a moment, you know you can't resist his offers. With the tilt of your head and a smile you say "if you throw in a massage with that then yes, I'll let you still have them"
"a massage after dinner it is then my love" he says smiling and kissing you again, any chance to touch you, kiss you, get you naked, he'll take without complaint.
Eventually you both clean everything up, he insists on showering with you to just 'help you get clean' but more than that always ends up happening because he just can't resist you and you just can't resist him.
You gave up on baking, deciding to tackle that tomorrow when he's away at work. He orders your favourite food and you cuddle up on the couch to eat, eventually ending up in the bedroom where he gives you the best massage with lots of kisses to go with it. You both cuddle up in bed together afterwards and you fall asleep in his arms.
This ended up being longer than I thought it would be but I hope you enjoy!♡

Request guidelines -
I mainly write fluff, I don't think I'm quite comfortable writing smut so no smut requests please! (I'll only ever write implied smut that's not expanded upon)
Please specify if you want fem/male or gender neutral reader, I will always aim to write gender neutral so if you don't specify, that's what it'll be!
Please also specify if you'd like it as a fic or a headcanon as they're both written differently, if you don't specify I'll choose what I think will fit best for what I write!
I also mainly write for Spencer Reid but I'd be happy to write for Emily Prentiss too (I'm in love with her)
(This is not based on their birthdays on the show just vibes. Could read this as potential big 3 in no particular order or just potential sun signs, lmk what you think!♡)
