You pulled your tingling lips away from his own with a breathless gasp, barely managing to get your shallow breaths through to your lungs.
“I’ve never done this before,” you nervously confessed as your eyelashes connected with your eyebrows, looking up at Spencer who hovered over you, pining you beneath him on the soft mattress, the soft cotton beneath you radiating intense heat you weren’t feeling moments ago.
His long fingers that were splayed across your stomach softened, the tender caress of his thumbs coming to a stop, “Hey,” he whispered, pulling his head back a bit to look at your flushed face, “that’s perfectly fine,” he gave you a small, reassuring smile that reached his hazel eyes that looked at you in awe.
When you couldn’t bring yourself to say anything back, he spoke again in an even softer tone, “We don’t have to go any further, okay?” his hand moved from your stomach to cradle your jaw, pressing a gentle, lingering kiss to your forehead.
Your hands came up to desperately grasp his biceps as you let out a deep breath you didn’t realize you were holding, “I don’t wanna stop,” the confession small but unwavering as you shook your head, “I’m just.. I don’t know what to do, Spencer” you admitted, your brows drawing with vulnerability as you searched his eyes.
Spencer could never be disappointed with you and you were very aware of that, but the intimidation that came with exposing your inexperience to someone you looked up to was far too strong to deem nonexistent.
His thumb smoothly brushed your cheekbone, “You don’t have to do anything..” he slowly connected his lips with the corner of your mouth, “I’ll take care of you,” his soft lips brushed against your closed ones, promising absolute patience, “We’ll do whatever feels right. There’s no rush at all.”
“Okay,” you breathed out the words against his mouth, letting your mouth part to move with his own.
His lips sandwiched your bottom lip, slowly sucking it as his hands explored your body, making their way from your arms, touching the shivering skin full of goosebumps down to your sides, giving them a gentle, encouraging squeeze and dragging a quiet, suppressed moan from your throat.
His slow, deep kiss relaxed the coiled tension in your stomach, making your legs naturally part further, letting his body settle more comfortably between your thighs.
His lips moved down your jaw, making you tip your head backwards, giving him more access until he reached your earlobe, giving it a barely-there bite that made you groan.
He then kissed the sensitive skin behind your ear, making you whisper his name and prop your legs on either side of his hips.
The clear sound of your satisfaction made him smile against your skin, sucking on the same spot just to hear the pretty noises coming out of your mouth.
He slightly pulled away to press his forehead onto yours, “Is it okay if we take this off?” his fingers gently traced the white strap of your bra, his head tilting to the side in question.
“Please,” the word sounded more like a whimper, but Spencer felt too nice to tease.
You slightly arched your back so he could reach to your back, unclasp your bra, and pull it off your body.
He neatly placed your bra on the edge of the bed without peeling his eyes off your now bare breasts.
He licked a slow, burning path down your throat until he was right above the skin that had just been exposed. His tongue swiped slowly against your warm skin leaving wet marks against your flushed chest, pressing reverent, open-mouthed kisses across your aching breasts, “You’re so perfect..” those words vibrated against your skin as he got closer to your right peak, swirling his tongue around it before repeating, “God..you’re so so perfect,” although you saw him as the expert, he seemed deeply affected by you, as if he were in the presence of something sacred.
You could feel his skin getting warmer and damper by the second, sticking to you as he wrapped his swollen lips around your nipple.
The sensation was completely new and foreign—something you thought was simply Spencer’s effect on you, “Oh my god,” you gasped.
He grazed his teeth around your hard nipple, sucking gently before adding more pressure, “How does that feel?” he panted, lifting his head to see the look of pleasure on your face.
“So good,” you breathed out, “so fucking good,” your fingers carded through his hair before finally tugging on it, making him moan against your breast.
Your other boob was not neglected at all, Spencer made sure you were feeling good in all the right ways, kneading your other breast and occasionally rolling your sensitive nipple between his thumb and index finger, squeezing it to pull more sounds out of you to hear them through your ribs.
He then switched between his tongue and hand, giving you more of each sensation and using more pressure as felt you melt underneath him, becoming more needy.
“Is there anything you don’t want to happen right now? It’s entirely up to you, just tell me and I’ll do whatever you want.”
“I don’t think I’m ready for actual sex right now,” you hesitated, “Everything feels so good.. and I want us to go further, but can we not do that tonight?” the anxiety peaked again as you spoke, even though you were met with an understanding look from Spencer as he listened to you.
“Of course,” he murmured, kissing right above your heart, feeling it thumping against your ribs, “all I want is for you to feel good. And is there anything specific you would like to try?”
“I want you to touch me,” you brushed the few, damp strands that stuck to his forehead.
The corners of his mouth slightly curved up, “Touch you where?”
“You know where,” you pouted, slightly tilting your head to the side.
“I don’t,” he lied with a teasing smile, “you’re gonna have to be more specific,” he kissed the warm-skinned dip between your breasts.
“Spencer,”
“Come on, use your words.” his long fingers trailed down your stomach, going lightly along the edge of your cotton panties, hooking the elastic against his fingertips.
You let out a weak whine, your hips instinctively tilting upward, chasing the warmth of his hand.
“I need you to finger me,” you choked out, the urgency in your words caught them both off guard, but Spencer let out a pleased hum, “Good girl,”
His fingers slipped beneath the elastic, his thumb slowly finding its way to your clit, not touching the rest of your pussy just yet. He captured your lips in an affectionate, slow kiss, providing you more comfort, the connection calming the rapid shivers moving through your body at his touch.
The soft pad of his finger pressed against your clit before slowly moving it in tight, firm circles, making your eyebrows twitch as you whimpered into his mouth.
He smiled against your lips, the noise meant that he was making you feel good, that his desperate need to please you was being met.
He gave you a few moments to absorb the feeling of his skin against your most sensitive spot before he introduced the second sensation. His slender middle finger dipped lower, stroking your folds and parting them slightly, “Can I see you?” he pressed a kiss to your cheek.
You didn’t use your words this time, quickly hooking your fingers into the waistband of the cotton fabric and pushing them down your hips with ease.
Spencer brushed against your hand, silently asking you to let him do it. He lowered himself to pull your panties down and off your ankles.
When your panties were fully off, Spencer’s gaze was fixated between your thighs, unable to look away, but he felt the nervous energy start to seep back into your face, so he kissed your lower stomach right above where his hand had been, “You’re so.. so beautiful,”
He shifted his weight, sitting back on his heels at the edge of the bed, admiring every inch of your bare flushed body laying before him.
He returned his thumb to the bundle of nerves above your slit and his middle finger down your wet slit, “so wet,” he whispered against your thigh, giving it a slow kiss to ease the tension of its muscles.
He slowly pushed a part of his finger into your tight entrance, feeling you tense around him as you whined and reached down to him, “Spencer, please,”
“I’m right here,” he peppered kisses on your inner thighs, “just let me know when you’re ready for more,”
Your chest heaved, the air surrounding you starting to feel cold against your glistening skin, the wetness cooling your feverish skin, “I’m ready,”
He pushed his finger deeper into you, starting with a few slow pumps that made your hips helplessly twitch against his hand before increasing the pace and depth, “you’re doing so well, baby,” his words were met with a desperate whimper from your widely parted lips.
“Do you want a second finger?” he asked, his tone dripping sweetly.
“God, yes,” you moaned, already overwhelmed by the single digit moving in and out of you.
When his soaked middle finger was out of you, he paired it next to his index finger before pushing them fully in together, sending a rush down your spine, and ripping a loud moan out of your throat.
“You’re okay,” he removed his thumb from your clit, moving the job of stimulating that bundle of nerves to his mouth, sucking gently as he fingered you relentlessly, “you’re taking it so well, baby,”
“I’m gonna curl my fingers, okay?”
You frantically nodded, your composure completely shattered, “Okay,”
His fingers hooked upward, curling and reaching deep inside of you, hitting your g-spot with clear effort.
Your thighs slightly twitched around his head, making his other hand firmly grip one of your thighs, pinning it on the soft sheets next to his shoulder.
“Spencer!” you cried out, your voice cracking as your hips bucked against his face, slightly away from his fingers that were moving in and out of you faster now, continuously curling with every thrust.
“I’ve got you,” the intense suction of his mouth on your clit was driving you to the brink of insanity.
“Oh my god, I think I’m gonna come-” the knot in the pit of your stomach was getting too tight and heavy to handle, overwhelming you with bursting fullness.
“I know, baby,” he pressed his palm against your lower stomach, splaying his finger across your sweaty skin, “just let go,” he added more force on your lower stomach, feeling some of the inner movement with every measured pump of his fingers.
Those last words vibrating against your swelling clit were enough to push you over the edge.
You let out a loud moan, your fingers now pulling his hair as the intense blinding orgasm ripped through your entire body, making your head sink deeper into the pillow supporting your neck.
A hot rush of fluid erupted from you, gushing against Spencer’s hand and face, soaking the mattress beneath you, but his fingers continued their intense efforts inside of you.
His fingers were riding out the violent spasms of your walls that clamped down around him, making you squirt onto his face again, and bringing your shaking legs to a slow, steady stop.
You had completely surprised yourself by squirting all over, “Shit, I’m sorry, I-” you panted.
His fingers finally stopped moving as they stilled inside of your sensitive inner walls, “No, baby, you did so well,” he breathed out, slowly licking your lower stomach, “I’m so proud of you,” he slowly withdrew his soaking fingers, licking them thoroughly before sucking them clean.
He moved his face up to yours, “Are you okay?” he kissed your damp forehead.
You nodded tiredly, completely worn out and sleepy, “yeah, that was.. that was very intense,”
“I hope you liked it?” he stared into your eyes, waiting for an answer.
You lazily traced his cheekbones, moving your shaky finger to his eyebrows, brushing along each one, “I loved it. I’m so lucky I got to do this with you,”
“I’m so lucky I got to be your first. Seriously, thank you for trusting me,” the smile he always gave you was now back on his peaceful face.
“Of course, Spence,” you returned the smile, tracing his nose with your still trembling finger, but now the trembling was out of tiredness rather than intensity.
“Let me clean you up,” he quickly pecked your swollen lips before rolling off the bed and into his bathroom, coming out a few seconds later with a damp washcloth.
He settled between your legs, parting them hesitantly—purely because he didn’t want to overwhelm your worn out body, knowing that you were still sensitive.
He gently wiped your thighs, his eyes lingering on every inch as he went over the delicate skin a few times—aiming to both clean you up and relax your body, “all done,”
He removed the warm cloth from your skin and took a few steps to sit closer to your face on the bed, “How about you get in the shower, and I’ll change the sheets before they dry, hm?” he asked, stroking your hair with a touch so gentle, it made your eyes need to flutter shut.
You nodded into his hand, “Yeah, okay,” you mumbled.
summary: Spencer Reid was always different. It was few and far apart that a woman would catch his eye, and when she did, the statistics of their relationship working out had him pulling away with little effort. However, when Hotch's new assistant walks into the BAU, it's like she's bewitched him. Now, no matter what he does, he seems to find himself working hard, and hardly working.

a/n: I've decided to post this in smaller chunks so I am more easily motivated to write because it feels less daunting, I hope you enjoy so much! this'll probably end up being four parts long with varying degrees of length :3
w/c: 3.7k
PART ONE: THERE'S A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING.
part two
Spencer Reid had always been different. His genius nature had ensured a childhood that was anything but normal. How could he, when he was applying for colleges before he had finished puberty? His high school experience was tumultuous at best, and he was also smart enough to know any girl who may have caught his eye was too many years his senior to consider as a partner. That’s how Spencer was about things– analytical. He crunched numbers, he ran probabilities and searched statistics in his ever expanding brain. Being different was something Spencer Reid was no stranger to.
However, when you joined the BAU, Spencer Reid had come to the realization that something within him was now different in an entirely new way.
You had joined the BAU, not as another profiler, or a new liaison under JJ’s wing, but as Hotch’s assistant. The scope of Hotch’s job was infinite, and he was often burdened by mountains of paperwork. Since Hailey’s untimely passing, the Bureau, which was normally incredibly unforgiving and less than charitable, decided it might be a good idea to pay someone to take things off Hotchner’s plate, if not for his own sake, then for Jack’s. Before Hailey’s passing, Hotch was expected to book hotels, check in, and communicate when the jet would be needed. He would have to mark all of the expenses made by the team and why the money was spent, filling out a ledger that oftentimes took over an hour to complete, over three if the team spent longer in one location than normal. Hotch took care of plenty of large tasks every day, but it was the million little tasks that kept him until the wee hours of the morning some weeks. With a young son, that was too much to ask.
So the Bureau hired you. You, whose task it was to pick up all of the little things before Hotch even thought of them. Fortunately for everybody, you were excellent at your job. You followed the rules your mother had taught you, who was a secretary years before you. You never left before Hotch did, even if that meant spending hours after hours, after long weeks of grueling work. You were constantly busy, but you never overburdened yourself, and you were always happy to help. You came to the bullpen every morning with a smile on your face and a shining gloss on your lips, and a chipper hello to share to all of your coworkers. You walked with a bounce in your step, and a seemingly never ending supply of pocket butterscotch to hand out to anyone who wanted one. Your task book, perfectly organized and personalized, was never far from your reach. You were regarded as the office sweetheart, and everyone but you knew it. You did your best every day, and were happy when you went home every night.
It was because of this absolute purity that Spencer knew there must be something very, very wrong with him. Because despite your innocence, your unwavering ability to bring joy to every room you entered, Spencer’s mind began to plunge into dark, dark places when you were around. Not that Spencer assumed you were some sort of celibate nun, nor that he assumed you didn’t have a sensual streak. You were a grown woman, and a beautiful one at that. He assumed that you had your pick of partners and chose them accordingly, and frequently. But even then, there was a goodness within you that Spencer felt move in the air around you. It was in your voice, it was in your perfume.
Spencer wished he could say he used to be normal about you. That he wasn’t always this way– but he had always been enamored, even upon your first meeting.
-
It was in the briefing room where he met you. Hotch moved aside to introduce you and you flashed your ever-bright smile, and Spencer felt something inside his heart twist. His palms grew sweaty, and his mouth parted slightly. Your white button up was tucked neatly into a knee length pencil skirt. Sheer black tights with not a single tear covered your legs, and a pair of sensible black heels were on your feet. Your hair was tousled just so, like you’d styled it, but not like you had obsessed over it. Everything about you radiated effortless beauty, and Spencer swallowed hard. Something was different about you, something other than the divergent ways Spencer was rebuffed from his peers. Something special, something that had his heart racing.
You met Spencer’s gaze in the room that day, saw the look on his face and felt the corner of your mouth twitch. You looked him up and down, and carefully took note of what you saw. A patterned tie tucked into a simple, cozy-looking cardigan. Fluffed, unstyled curls atop his head– and what must have been the cutest button nose you’d ever seen. His gaze was like a deer caught in headlights, and it made you want to giggle. You hadn’t seen a guy look at you like that since you TA’d a freshman class your senior year at university, and you had been dressed far less professional than today. You tossed him a wink and tilted your head just so.
Spencer finally seemed to register that you saw him staring, and as soon as you winked at him, something terrible happened to him.
His cock twitched in his slacks.
Spencer’s eyes went wide and immediately tried to play it off, giving you an awkward, flat half-smile before tearing his eyes away. Looking away from you felt like getting out of a warm bed before work– leaving the most comforting place in the world to face reality. His dick throbbed, stirring in his pants, the visage of that wink burned in his eidetic memory. Somewhere in that same memory floated reminded of pupillometry, studies suggesting the reason why a wink is disarming in relation to staring. Staring is a nonverbal threat, and by closing one eye and effectively breaking the gaze, the threat is mitigated, not to mention the social connotations of a wink. Should he have winked back? Did you register his gaze as a threat? All of these thoughts bounced around in Spencer’s head as his length continued to grow in his pants. All of a sudden, the gravity of the situation collapsed onto his psyche and all but one thought left his head.
He had a boner. For his new coworker, in a room full of his closest friends and his boss. His stomach dropped and he swallowed again.
You, of course, in all of your kindness noticed only the change in his face to pure discomfort and began to worry. You didn’t mean to make him uncomfortable– what a terrible first impression to make! You couldn’t see his cock below the table, which was jumping as it was trying to make a run for it. Just before you were about to say something, Spencer sat up straight and said, “Excuse me,” in a strangled tone, turning around in his spinning chair and walking straight out of the conference room. Your heart sank and brow furrowed. He hated you, you were sure of it, and you worried about the implications this would have on your relationship with Spencer as members of the same team. Meanwhile, Hotch looked out the door, face stony as ever, but glossed with concern.
“Is he okay?” You asked, unsure if this was typical behavior during a briefing. You hoped it was, feeling incredibly guilty.
Emily, the woman who had just introduced herself to you moments before, waved a hand. “I’m sure he’s okay. Weird of him to just get up and leave like that though,” she said. You frowned, and Derek cut in.
“He probably just realized he washed his hands two times instead of three after pressing the elevator button,” He said teasingly. The man named Rossi smirked. The meeting was almost over anyways, and Hotch soon released you to attend to your matters before the next case arose.
-
“Excuse me,” Spencer said, his tie suddenly feeling far too tight before trying to turn as fast as possible, not wanting anyone to get the slightest clue of what had him leaving in such a hurry. He stood and walked out the door, tugging down his cardigan as far as possible, anxious. He was practically jogging by the time he reached the single-stall restroom and locked the door behind him. Frantic, he panted while his back pressed against the door. What in the world was wrong with him? The image of your smile, your body, replayed in his mind and he buckled as he throbbed again. He took a deep breath, trying to think of anything else but you. His heart filled with guilt, which helped curb the continuation of any growth below. Was he so pathetic, so lonely, that a perfectly normal interaction had him running off to make sure he wouldn’t look like a pervert in front of all of the people he held closest? His face burned, and he moved to the sink to wash his hands and splash his face. The shame that now lived had successfully ceased the blood flowing to his clearly neglected cock. He dried his face and brushed his hair from his eyes.
He didn’t understand what had just happened. Well, physiologically, of course he did. But psychologically, he had no clue why you had such an affect on him, and he sighed deeply. He needed to get laid. Or to kiss someone, or jerk off more or literally anything if a beautiful woman paying him half a second of attention caused him to spiral in this way. He straightened his clothes and turned to unlock the door, praying this experience was singular.
When Spencer returned to the bullpen, he knew he had to rectify the situation post-haste. He probably freaked you out, and the thought of killing whatever professional relationship you could’ve had immediately after greeting you made him genuinely sad. Despite the strange display his body decided to throw at him moments ago, Spencer was a thoughtful man. He wanted to get to know you, find out things about you, become friends. He just hoped he hadn’t ruined his only shot.
You were sitting at your desk, now moved in just across Spencer’s, scribbling something into a to-do list when he approached you. You felt a pang of anxiety flow through you, remembering how uncomfortable he had seemed at your gesture earlier. You turned to face him, and tried to read his body language. He was obviously still nervous. He picked at his cuticles and would only meet your gaze for a few seconds before looking away.
“Uhm, hi,” he said, his throat dry. “I’m, uh, sorry for my behavior earlier. It- I was… nauseous. I tried a new bagel place this morning, and I guess it’s just not for me… Food poisoning is often associated with vomiting, but it can actually manifest in a plethora of ways due to improper food storage for an extended period of time?” His statement came out more like a question, as if he was asking you for verification of the plausibility of his story in correlation with is infodumping.
You gave him a confused smile and stood. “Okay… that’s good. Not good! I’m sorry you’re not feeling well, but I was really worried at first that I’d made a poor first impression. I have a habit of flirting, kinda. Not on purpose. And if I did make you uncomfortable, again, I apologize. It wasn’t my intention– I didn’t mean anything by it.”
Your kind confirmation made something in Spencer’s heart ache. For just a split second, his brow furrowed. He didn’t know why– he knew you were being polite. But Spencer’s feelings were hurt anyway. Not that he wanted you to mean something by it, but it might’ve been nice…
Spencer blinked and smiled back. “No! Not at all- it was just terrible timing. Digestion and all.” His awkward comment made you giggle to yourself and he felt his insecurity creep in once more.
“Of course,” you replied. You decided now was a good time to try a reintroduction. You stuck out your hand and told him your name. Spencer’s arm twitched, like it was trying to stay by his side. Of course, that moment is when Emily decided to look over and saw your mistake before you did.
“Oh! Sorry, but Spencer doesn-” Emily was cut off by the abrupt arrival of Spencer’s hand into yours, and he shook it firmly. Emily blinked as her mouth hung open. Spencer shot her a subtle look and she snapped it shut before turning back. “...Nevermind,” she mumbled.
You were confused, but glad to see Spencer smiling back at you. His heart raced, both at the contact with you just moments after his incident, and at the thought of the germs. Thankfully, however, he didn’t notice any abnormal pulsing going towards unwanted places. He exhaled and smiled back. “It’s nice to meet you, too. I’m Dr. Spencer Reid, but you can just call me Spencer. Or Reid. It’s all the same to me.”
You released his hand and Spencer felt the absence deeper than he should’ve. Your hand was soft, and warm, and even though he was sure his hands were clammy he wished you hadn’t let go. You gave him one more bright smile before sitting again.
“I’m excited to work with you,” You said finally before turning back to your notebook.
Spencer flushed a little. “I am, too,” he said, knowing all too well that some parts of him were far more excited than others.
–
That night when Spencer arrived at his apartment, he shouldered off his satchel and kicked off his shoes. He headed straight for his bedroom to lay down before remembering he still needed to shower. He huffed, and went to the bathroom to turn on the water. Once the water was hot enough, he stripped down and hopped inside. Spencer relished the feeling of the water– it almost burned him, it was so hot, but it was the only way he’d shower. He wasn’t the most built guy out there, and oftentimes, he found himself just barely too cold. The droplets quickly warmed him, and he tipped his head back to let it cascade down his curls. As the room filled with steam, he began recounting the day in his head. Despite its… unconventional start, the rest of his work went by smoothly. No cases that day, so he spent the time catching up on paperwork and organizing his desk. When he went for coffee at the break station, he ran into you again. You’d had a very pleasant conversation about his interests, how he got his start at the BAU, what he did in his free time. The whole time, even when he rambled on and on about statistics that most people would’ve ended up tuning out, he came to the realization that you hung on his every word. You asked follow up questions, met his passion with curiosity. He felt full of pride and appreciation after. He couldn’t remember the last time someone had actually listened to him for that long. He, of course, asked you questions in return. He found out you liked to shop and accessorize, and that your career choice was influenced by your mother. However, you did actually enjoy what you did, and didn’t feel overly pressured. You smiled as you recounted your university days, and how you preferred cats over dogs because of their self sufficiency. Spencer found himself entranced by you, eager to learn all he could. He wanted to know everything you had to tell him, and was in utter disbelief that you seemed to feel the same way. He hoped you’d become friends, and stay that way for a long time.
Once Spencer had finished scrubbing his scalp, he realized that at some point during his shower, his length began to grow again. The memories of you must have triggered something subconscious to revisit from this morning, and he groaned slightly. He was all at once disgusted with himself and hazy with lustful thoughts of the other things he had noticed about you. The way your clothes clung tightly to your figure, how your heels caused your hips to sway when you walked. Spencer took the base of his cock in a firm grasp and let out a low moan. He dragged his hand along his length. He knew it was unethical to be jerking off to his new coworker when they'd only met that day, but he convinced himself it was because he hadn’t been jerking off that he was so riled up. It had nothing to do with the way your perfume had etched itself into his nose, or how you were able to make professional attire as alluring as lingerie. Beads of precum dribbled from his tip as he stroked himself faster. He whimpered and brushed a thumb over his sensitive tip, the heat from the shower making the air feel thick. He pumped his dick over and over, taking on a punishing pace. He braced himself with his other hand against the shower wall when his knees began to buckle in the pleasure.
His moans began to break, whines that sounded strangely like your name. “Please…” he croaked out, before feeling his orgasm take over. He blinked rapidly as he painted his shower floor with thick ropes of cum. He typically wasn’t the masturbation type, as it was few and far apart when he found things worth fantasizing over.
Spencer panted as he rode out his high, his mind flooding with dreams of you being in the shower beside him. When he opened his eyes, he felt a pang of guilt and turned to scrub his body, trying to wash away the guilt he felt for his actions alongside it.
-
Thankfully for Spencer, in the weeks that followed, things were normal at work. Well, as normal as they could be. After your first real conversation by the coffee pot, there was some sort of silent agreement formed to meet there every day to talk. You liked Spencer– he was kind. He was a great listener, if a little ramble-y. Not that you minded, in fact, you’d told him once before you thought it was sweet. Spencer had gone red at that, and it made you smile. He was a cutie, and you weren’t fool enough to ignore the feelings you felt building for him.
Spencer would hold the elevator for you, as how work was going, listen as you groaned. You’d always worn your heart on your sleeve, and were acutely aware of how Spencer made your heart flutter. However, you also were smart enough to know that the BAU wasn’t necessarily the place to form a relationship. You didn’t want to wreck the team dynamic when you had only just joined, and decided to just let your crush comfort you in the quiet moments in that break area, content to keep it to yourself.
Well, content may not have been the right word. The first time you heard about the times Spencer had won women’s hearts during cases when you stuck behind at the police station made your heart ache. Apparently, when he was younger, he’d even made out with a witness under his protection after only 48 hours of knowing her. Lucky bitch, you found yourself thinking. You blinked. You weren’t usually so venomous about these things, and you could practically hear your mother’s voice chiding you in your ear.
“Green is not your color sweetie, don’t let it become your signature look.” She’d say. You frowned, and tried to push away the thought. For her information, you actually looked fantastic in green. But you knew the sentiment was right. It wasn’t like you to be so.. bitter. Spencer was changing you in ways you didn’t know how to handle.
Spencer, too, was going through his own kind of metamorphosis. He found himself yearning for things that he’d had no interest in previously. When he’d shook your hand upon your reintroduction, it caused him to picture what it’d be like to just hold it— walk in stride, comforted by each other’s contact. He wanted to know what it’d feel like to have your hands on his body, how your touch would roam over his chest, his shoulders… lower, too.
He wished he knew how to turn off the switch you’d so easily flipped in his brain. That he could get himself to think about anything else when you were around besides your smile made of sunshine. Wanted to redact the uncontrollable desire he had for you that was slowly encroaching in his life.
You wished you could read him easier. That you could see, clear as day, where the line was drawn in the sand. Sometimes, when you made small remarks that resembled flirting, Spencer was able to smile along and reply, bantering like you’d known each other for years. Other times, you’d make yourself less discreet, and his face would heat and he’d begin to ramble barely related statistics, like he was trying to distract you. A push, a pull. A growing tension that neither of you wanted to ignore.
A growing desire to see just how far you could go before the line was washed away by the tide.
THINKING ABOUT : spencer reid is a man of science, but what happens when his girlfriend is a girl of whimsy ?
pairing : spencer reid x whimsy!reader (fluff, established relationship)
notes : a little something based off this lovely request, while i procrastinate on writing my series... please reblog to boost it if you enjoyed, it's the best way to promote a post on tumblr !!
౨ৎ⋆˚࿔ a whimsical person is unusual, playful, and unpredictable, rather than serious and practical. typically, spencer likes to rely on the dictionnary for better understanding of the world around him - but when it comes to the definition of this term that fits you so well, he doesn't quite agree with it.
౨ৎ⋆˚࿔ unusual, you really are. in the best way, constantly pushing out of the comfort zone he'd always hid in before he met you. you're not afraid of drawing attention, highlighting the joyful glint in your eyes with bright, vibrant colours and a laugh so melodic he'd record it just to play it over and over while he's away from you.
౨ৎ⋆˚࿔ opposites attract, to share the purest and most evident form of love he's ever felt. you never fail to impress him (and keep him on his toes) by adding a touch of sprinkles and glitter everywhere you go.
౨ৎ⋆˚࿔ like... literally. he was amused the first time you insisted on preparing his lunchbox, when he opened it in the middle of the neat and boringly pallid bullpen just to be met with heart shaped berries and his favorite cheese toastie cut to form a star.
౨ৎ⋆˚࿔ you taught him that maybe, life is meant for exploring new things and never settling for the simple routine he thought he'd forever endure. some things are repetitive still, and he loves every second of it.
౨ৎ⋆˚࿔ the weekly horoscope you read out loud at breakfast on sunday mornings while he opts for the newpaper, sipping on some new matcha recipe you decided to try, or the yoga sessions you've tried to get him to join, and failed. he'd rather let you flourish in your interests without imposing, and observe from afar with hearts in his eyes.
౨ৎ⋆˚࿔ for a boy who was forced to grow up too quickly, who never got to experience the magic of childhood to the fullest, he could swear you're straight out of a fairytale, and adores how you could turn the most mundane thing into something beautiful, healing his inner child in the process.
౨ৎ⋆˚࿔ the simplicity of things when it's just the two of you contrasts with the professional aspect of his life - one that he doesn't like to share with you, unless you coax him to open up - and he loves how you don't expect anything in return, you just want him to exist in your bubble of magic and optimism.
౨ৎ⋆˚࿔ now, he knows what it's like to have someone patch his physical wounds (with pink bandaids, too) and the ones in his heart with a deep conversation late at night over a cup of herbal tea, in the thrifted mugs you collect routinely.
౨ৎ⋆˚࿔ he knows that life can be beautiful when you take time to observe the smallest details, like the warmth and sweet scent of the woman laying next to him in bed, under floral sheets and a dozen of pillows.
౨ৎ⋆˚࿔ and he wants this, he wants you so badly he never wants to think about the possibility of his life without you in it. when you ballet flats join his worn out converse in the entryway, and your baby pink blouses find their spot next to his cardigans in the closet, he realizes he'd do anything for the girl of his dreams to stay around when he's awake.
౨ৎ⋆˚࿔ you've mentioned a couple of times the idea of a cottage in the countryside, filled with animals and freshly baked goods you'd want to share with him one day. with children, as well, though you didn't need to speak it into existence to know he wants that as much as you do.
౨ৎ⋆˚࿔ and maybe, just maybe, that possibility of pure bliss and lifelong happiness lingered in his brain longer than it should've. for the first time in what feels like forever, spencer reid has hopes of a life and a home outside of the BAU, and it's just a matter of rings and paperwork until that fantasy could turn into reality.
