Summary: People often say that love at first sight was plausible, but Reid knew it was a hoax. Or at least he thought its a hoax, he couldn’t really speak about other people’s experiences. Reid didn’t really believe in falling in love in general really. It just wasn’t something he thought about. He thought about facts, things he can compartmentalize and put into boxes in his mind. Love was not something he could easily grasp and put into a single box. Sure he loved his team, his friends, his family, but it wasn’t the same as romantic love.
But right now, with you curled up next to him and the moonlight shining through the windows, casting shadows onto your cheeks and a soft smile on your lips, he thought that maybe, just maybe it was plausible.
The one where you and Spencer don’t talk about feelings and end up dating each other without knowing.

Pairings: Spencer Reid x Reader
It was the first time Spencer really cried in front of you.
Glossy eyes and juice stained lips. Moonlight shining through the windows and bathing the both of you in its light. Intimacy.
Spencer cried into your shoulder as you wrapped your arms around him. Quiet words of reassurance and the sound of him sniffling were the only things heard in the apartment that night.
In the morning, when you woke up, Spencer was still soundly asleep, his nose pressed into your neck, and the feeling of his breath tickling your skin. It was then you decided, no, promised, that you would try your hardest to take care of this man who had gone through too much too quickly. Be there when no one would be. Learn how to differentiate when he's stressed or struggling because no one should ever go through something like that alone.
