You let out a sigh of relief as you kicked your shoes off at your front door, finally home. Your entire body felt weak and you had the worst migraine from your rough day at work, your boss had been nagging at you the entire week but, had been particularly rough on you today. You had been counting down the hours so you could wind down and spend a relatively calm weekend with your boys.
That was until you felt the familiar strike against your forehead, you knew exactly what had been taking place while you were away at work. The sound of plastic bouncing against the wooden floor seemed to have been louder than it should’ve been. You felt tears that began to swell in your eyes, the cheap plastic cylinder that hit you hadn’t physically harmed you, no. It’s just with the week you had, this just topped off your frustration.
“Alright! whose idea was it?” you sighed, silently waiting for your two guys to appear in front of you. The familiar sound of their slippers shuffling against your rug filled your ears, there they were. You opened your eyes to glare at the two of them but, once you saw the guilt on their practically identical faces, you couldn’t be as frustrated with them like you had previously planned.
The older damian got, the more he began to look like Spencer, it was as if you had no part in making him yet, you were the one who held him in your womb for nine months. Their wide hazel eyes staring back and forth between you and each other, waiting for you to rip them a new one. It wasn’t like you being upset was a common occurrence, it’s just they both have sensed your tension within this past week, it was due for you to have a small outburst, whether it be on them, or some random inanimate object close by.
“Okay, I know you’re probably upset with us both but, it was for good reason. I swear” he quickly tried to defend himself and your son.
“Babe! last time this happened i said no more physics magic in the house! It’s always me getting in the middle of it” his shoulders deflated immediately knowing that he wouldn’t win this one but, he couldn’t help but try? Like Samuel Beckett once said, ‘try again. fail again. fail better.’
Even though every argument with you, he rarely ever got to win. so, it always seemed to be, “try again, fail again, try again.”
“Okay, fine, Damian convinced me, you know how hard it is for me to say no to him sweetheart!” you watched your son turn to his father with wide eyes, at the sound of the unexpected betrayal from his father clearly shown on his face because everyone in this house seemed to be intimidated by mom.
“yeah, sure dad, let’s blame the five year old” he sarcastically muttered, causing both your and spencer’s head instantly to snap in his direction. You gave a lame attempt to suppress your laugh before an explosive laugh bubbled from your chest. You scooped damian into your arms placing a small kiss onto his cheek, your prior anger had been long forgotten about. A small laugh leaving his lips, although he had his father’s looks he’ll always be a mommas boy.
“If it makes you feel better we baked cookies and ordered from your favorite take out spot for dinner?” Spencer softly smiled, you stared at him in awe ,yeah you definitely couldn’t be upset with them anymore. You leaned into Spencer’s side taking in their scents, the smell of familiarity, warmth, and love. The smell of home.
“I love you boys, you know that right?”
“We love you too”

Nick you killed me with those tags on Sarah's Country Boy Hotch post and now I can stop thinking about that scenario where they have a history and even with all these new barriers in place they're still determined to be in each others lives??? Dead.
YES. @ssa-sarahsunshine I’m actually OBSESSED with your country boy Aaron hc it’s absolute perfection I need MORE
There are so many barriers, Aaron’s baby on the way, Haley, they’re both in the closet, they’re going to be working together, but somehow they aren’t worried because they Know they will eventually end up together. Maybe it’s a bit of a soulmate thing. Because they ARE madly in love but subconsciously they know in time they will get what they want.
But when they first see each other again it’s such a shock. Spencer is there for a job interview, Gideon is right next to him, his instinct is to shout ‘Aaron?!’, to run up and hug him, check he’s real. Aaron is just as stupefied, stood frozen in place for a fraction of a second. They say ‘nice to see you again’ but that’s as much as they’ll acknowledge of the other. Little do they know both their thoughts are racing and minds flashing with images of the greatest summer of their lives.
Then Spencer joins the team permanently and they reconnect. They get along seamlessly, they’re both so proud of each other for how far they’ve come. Aaron became a prosecutor like he said he would, he got out of that small town and away from his dad. Spencer got his mom into Bennington and lectured around the country. Their past at the ranch that one summer goes unspoken for years, but sometimes a book will land on Spencer’s desk- the one spence le read aloud to Aaron, or Spencer will turn the radio up in the car when a song is on- once that Aaron played to him on the guitar. But eventually the dam breaks and they reminisce and fall in love all over again, sometime after Haley’s death.
Also Spencer is so upset that Aaron got rid of his sexy southern drawl and shaggy hair. And maybe Spencer tells him this and maybe Hotch grows his hair out a little and starts saying y’all more.
And after they get together they visit the ranch every year!!!!

- “Don’t try this at home!”- Spencer said mysteriously and placed an Ivory soap into the microwave.
García, Prentis, JJ, and (Y/N) were standing right behind him, waiting for his physics magic trick to work. Yes, Hotch had politely asked him to stop doing it the first time he caught him. Then, Reid hit Prentiss with a little rocket on the head, and Hotch reminded him he had to stop doing that at work, though a massive part of him was humored he was still such a child.
Yes, Hotch saw Spencer like another son he had to take care of. He didn’t bother though, he knew the kid needed a father figure, and Aaron had more than enough father material to rise above the circumstances.
- “Ok… and what’s supposed to happen?”- Garcia was eager to see the result, but Spencer shushed her and turned to his coworkers.
- “What you are about to see is pure magic and I can assure you, it’s gonna change your lives”
- “You are setting pretty high expectations, Spence”- JJ raised an eyebrow staring at the doctor
- “That’s because I am sure of my abilities”
(Y/N) looked at them and held her breath for a second. She was having a hard time keeping her jealousy under control. She was sure Spencer was still crushed on JJ, she could see the way he looked at her every time she talked. It was obnoxious, but she couldn’t stop him, she couldn’t say a thing! she was just his friend, not his girlfriend.
Besides, (Y/N) was sure JJ was flirting with him just to keep him on the hook. And she was going crazy, ‘cos JJ was her friend, and she couldn't hate her though she wanted to. It was nerve-wracking.
- “Ok, this is what’s gonna happen: I am going to turn this simple soap in a cloud, and it’s all physic’s magic.”
You could tell Spencer was excited to do the trick. He kept fluttering his fingers in the air and looking all mysterious.
- “Nerd magic?”- Prentiss joked and García and JJ chuckled. (Y/N) nearly smiled. She hated it when people made fun of Reid.
- “Call it what you want, I am going to blow your brains up”
- “Just try not to blow up the microwaves, or Hotch is gonna kill you”- Derek said as he walked over trying to catch what was going on- What are you doing kid?
- “Wait and see”
Reid was enjoying that moment. He wanted to surprise (Y/N) with his trick because he was actually doing it for her.
Last weekend they finally had some time to rest, and the two of them had decided to enjoy their free time together, and check a new exhibit at the Smithsonian. They had a great time, it got late for lunch, so they decided to have an improvised picnic at the park. They bought a few things to eat, sat on a blanket (Y/N) kept in her car, and just enjoyed being there, not caring about catching an unsub for a few hours. Their brains needed a break from all the stress.
- “That’s the cutest, fluffiest cloud I’ve ever seen!”- (Y/N) was laid on the blanket, next to Spencer, and pointed at the sky. He smiled at her excitement over something so simple.
- “Yeah, it’s a cool cloud… but, that one is fluffier”- he pointed another, just to argue with her.
- “My cloud is better, besides, it looks like a giant dragon… no, wait, it looks like a huge pile of hotcakes.”
Spencer chuckled at those words. (Y/N) had been rambling about getting up from the blanket and getting hotcakes for at least half an hour, but she was too tired to even move.
Spencer turned to her and forgot about the clouds. She was way more beautiful to him than anything on the earth or above. Her eyes were fixated on the sky, and never noticed he was looking at her until his silence was too evident. She turned to her best friend, and knit her eyebrows.
- “What is it?”
- “Did you know fluffy clouds are actually called cumulus, their name derives from the Latin cumulo, which means heap or pile-” Doctor Spencer Reid covered his embarrassment for being caught staring, with random facts.
- “I knew the name, but I didn’t know what it meant”- (Y/N) simply replied and smiled at him sweetly. She loved his facts.
- “Did you know cumulus clouds are low-level clouds, generally less than 6,600 ft in altitude, unless they are the more vertical cumulus congestus form?”
- “No, but I do know most of them looks like cotton candy”- she added and smiled- “I could also eat some cotton candy”
- “But you already convinced me to get some hotcakes”
- “I did?”- (Y/N) sat down and smiled like a four years old kid on Christmas morning- “‘Cos I could eat a huge pile of chocolate pancakes right now, honey bunny”
Spencer sighed and melted at the nickname.
- “Let’s go then.”
And that’s why he was decided to give her a cloud. A cumulus. ‘Cos now clouds made him think of her, and he wanted to make sure she would think of him with them too.
- “Ok, so far we have a simple Ivory soap cut in four pieces on a dish in the microwave, but in exactly one minute, we are going to have something completely different”- Spencer pressed start and cooked the bar of soap, as his friends waited anxiously for the result.
He stared at (Y/N) for a few seconds, her eyes were fixated on the microwave, trying to see what was going on inside. He bit his lips and held his breath for a moment until he felt Derek’s elbow on his arm.
- “Wake up, Romeo, the microwave is...”- the beeping interrupted Morgan, and Spencer quickly moved to open the door.
- “Ladies and germs, I give you… the fluffiest cumulus on earth!”- (Y/N)’s eyes wide opened as Reid took the dish with the soap, which had turned into a cloud, a perfect fluffy cloud made of soap.
- “This is so awesome!”- the girl almost yelled as she saw it, and Spencer felt his heart racing in his chest with her reaction. Her smile was brightening his day.
- “Just like the ones we saw Saturday”- he said and handed over the cloud to her- “And you can still use it, you can take a bath with the cloud”
- “Really? can I keep it?”- (Y/N) was way more thrilled than anyone else on the team. Not only because she loved clouds, but also ‘cos she loved how excited Spencer got when he did those magic tricks.
- “Of course, you can! I... I...”- Reid stuttered for a second, completely flustered- “I made it for you, actually”
It was hard not to blush for Reid, but under those circumstances, it was even harder. He could feel his face burning as (Y/N) smiled at him and pecked his cheek, blushing as well.
- “Thank you honey bunny!!”
- “You are welcome…”- the girl turned around to show her new cloud to the rest of the team- “Buttercup…”
Spencer whispered the loving nickname, but no one heard him… except Morgan.
- “That’s called game, kid”- he whispered and tapped on Reid’s back, who looked down at his feet, embarrassed, but still smiling- “Well played, man.”
