lowkirkenuinely I'm thinking Abt that criminal minds ep where spencer gets kidnapped blah blah blah but he signs to the team using the alphabet and now walk with me
spencer and reader both know just a little bit of sign not enough to be fluent but enough to be conversational and enough that applies to working in the BAU so now you're communicating with him on the field and across the bull pen like rubbing your fists together to ask him for coffee while you're still at your desk and hes shaking his fist up down saying yes
and then in the field you can silently check on each other like flicking your hands up from your shoulders saying what's up what's wrong and he's holding his spread fingers over his chest and stomach saying he's scared you're shaking your head shaking your hands out it'll be fine
telling each other I love you without a word as you put on your vests
him raising his hand to his chin and pulling it down good? and you slamming two clawed fingered hands on top of each other over and over again harder.
