Cat Adams because I'm obsessed with Spencer Reid too. (Only I would never have sent him to prison, nor kidnapped his mother and well many things she did).
Spencer and Reader have been in love with each other for years, but when a new agent joins, they rethink their choices
This is based on when Alvez first joins but reimagined a little. It’s not exactly the same but i needed Emily in the storyline. I also feel like this could go straight into smut so let me know if you are into the idea of a part 2 :)
pairing: spencer reid x bau reader
word count: 2.8k
warnings: fluff, mutual pining, mentions of sex, little bit of pervy spence, jealousy, and some swearing
“Finally! There you are!” Garcia screeched
The elevator dinged and you were immediately greeted by the wide eyed, brightly dressed woman
“What?! Am I late? …Did I miss something?” You looked at your watch
“No no, did you get my text?”
“No, I was busy cleaning up the coffee that spilled on me. I can’t believe I spilled it all over my shirt-“
Garcia pulled you by your arm while you examined your dress shirt covered in a coffee stain, pulling you through the glass doors. Your heels stopped right in front of Morgan’s empty desk and you saw Spencer’s big smile looking right at you. JJ was there too but Spence caught your attention first. As always
“What? I know I have coffee all over me but why are you all looking at me like that?” you laughed out
“There’s a new agent!” JJ said loudly making you whip your head her direction. You only had eyes for Spencer, but fresh meat to check out was always welcome.
You and Spencer have worked together for years, both being the youngest on the team. You two were polar opposites, perfectly complementing each other’s minds and personalities. You never intended to tell Spencer how you felt about him, nor did he. Unknowing of your mutual liking, you two always flirted with each other and gave short remarks, but never acted on anything.
“Oh oh oh, a guy?” you smiled eyeing JJ and Penelope
“Yup, a Luke Alvez. I’m not a fan at all though” Penelope said
“Have you met him yet?” you questioned, understanding Penelope’s dislike for him
“Well, no. But I get a bad feeling about him.”
“Oh please P, we all know why you feel that way”
“What? I’m entitled to my opinion”
“Well at least go easy on the poor guy” JJ chimed in
The three of you laughed but quickly went silent when you heard your names called out behind you from a familiar voice.
“JJ, Garcia, Y/n, Reid!” You all turned surprised to see Emily walking up with a go bag after not seeing her for so long
“Em what are you doing here!” You asked engulfing her in a hug first
“Well Hotch called and said you guys needed some help, so I’m stepping in to the help the team.” she said as she hugged everyone else and started to put her bag on the empty desk.
“Oh that’s agent Alvez’s desk” Reid quickly scolded her
“Oh. sorry. huh who’s Alvez?”
“The new agent Garcia is in love with” you said peaking Emily’s interested striking a face at Garcia
“Couldn’t be further from the truth but you my fine furry friends can figure that out yourselves. Kisses to all of you, except you y/n!” Garcia points to you leaving the bullpen back to her office.
You all settled down catching up with Emily for a couple minutes, before someone made their grand debut through the double doors.
Luke walks in somewhat cautiously, acclimating to his new workplace. He spots you from a distance and smiles. His smile was warm, but nervous, unsure of what to expect. In turn, you smiled back nodding to him. He breezed past the group, and up the stairs to walk to Rossi’s office. Rossi met Luke first and convinced him to join the team after Morgan resigned. Garcia was less than thrilled about Alvez, but Garcia was a joy to be around and you knew that would change with a little convincing.
Everyone picked up on your small exchange with him, including Spencer.
You turned, jaw dropping along with Emily’s checking out the new agent.
“va va voom.” you said licking your lips
“Woah there tiger” JJ laughed sitting back at her desk
You and Emily laughed out but you saw Spencer frowning, almost sad.
“Oh, don’t worry Spence, my eyes are only for you” you said walking back to your desk and tapping his cheek. Everyone lightened up, except spencer.
~~~
“Do you need a new shirt?” Spencer walked up to your desk
“Maybe. This isn’t going to work.” You looked down at your white striped dress shirt that was now brown because of your clumsiness.
“Here” Spencer unbuttoned his navy blue sweater and handed it to you. You had to look away for a second because of your face turning bright red. You put on the sweater and it smelled just like him, old books, vanilla, and eucalyptus. It was warm and soft, like how you imagined his hands and them running through your hair or up your arms.
You got started on catching up on the case, not long until Rossi called everyone into the conference room for a call with Hotch
“So, what do you think of Alvez?” Spencer awkwardly asked you on the short trek to the conference room from your desks
“I haven’t met him yet.. so nothing”
Spencer looked at you and half smiled. That smile when he doesn’t exactly know what you’re thinking but is trying to read your face. You loved that smile.
You made it into the room, finally meeting Alvez for the first time.
“Hi! I’m y/n, a pleasure.”
“Hey, Luke Alvez. I’ve heard a lot about you.”
“All good things I hope” you laughed
“ha yeah, it was all from Garcia and Reid.”
“I’ve heard lots about you too, from Garcia” You paused. “Glad you’re acquainted with her”
“Garcia is something else-“
“talking about me again Alvez?” Garcia asked overhearing the conversation. Rossi and JJ walked in behind her
Rossi reached for the call button in the middle of the table for Hotch and Tara to update the team on the progress with the case. The team grabbed their go bags and headed to the jet to head to the case. You made it to the plane second, after Spencer. You sat in the seat across from him and started to flip through the case file.
“So..” Spencer initiated after comfortable silence and looked up at you “What do you think of Alvez” He flipped through the file trying busy his hands while waiting for your response.
“He’s cool. Why?”
“Just wondering”
You smacked your file on the table “Spencer are you jealous?”
His eyes widened “What? No… no.. i’m not. why would you think that?” He retorted breathlessly
“You are! Reid I’ve known you for years, don’t think you can just get away with shit like that. I know when you’re lying”
“I’m not jealous though OR lying. I don’t know what you’re talking about”
“Why are you so interested in what I think about Luke for then?”
“I don’t know”
“Huh, for being a genius you sure don’t have a clue.”
He looked up and started to say something before the rest of the team filed into the jet finding their seats. Garcia filled everyone in and Rossi gave everyone their assignments after landing. Luke and Prentiss to the M.E., You and Spencer head to the crime scene, and JJ and Rossi to the station.
~~~
You and Spencer got to the crime scene, which was in the desert. You were beyond hot in your pants, so you took off your blazer and left it in the car. That left you wearing a dark red tank top that was a little lower than you anticipated. You reached into your back pocket and grabbed some gloves, and pulled them over your fingers. You walked up to the scene. Spencer lifted the caution tape up above your head. “Thank you” You walked over and squatted to examine the body. You looked at saw small incisions around the victims body. You made note to check what made those cuts because it wasn’t an average incision site. You looked up to Spencer who was on the other side of the body, but he wasn’t staring at the body, he was staring at you.
“Spence look at these marks, they don’t look like they were made by a scalpel but maybe something slightly bigger” you pointed using your pinky to the marks.
Spencer didn’t say anything, but had his mouth open, just staring at your cleavage.
Spencer was awestruck the day you walked into the BAU. You were charming and witty, but also kind to your core. You made him laugh and made him feel at ease, which is why he enjoyed your company. A couple of girls came and went for him, but none of them of were you. He was never able to be with a girl that didn’t make him compare them to you. You were his day and night and although he’d never admit it, he saw you as perfect. You could never do wrong in his eyes, that was, until today. He had a silent anger at Luke because he was making an impression on his girl. But you weren’t his girl, and you were entitled to anyone who wanted you. Which made Spencer even more mad, wishing he had the confidence to walk up to you and make you his.
He fantasized about you. Not only platonically but sexually too. Your body was perfect to him. After all these years you would still make his heart race seeing you. You made him nervous. He laid awake at night thinking about you. How your hair smelled and what you felt like. What it was like to be completely vulnerable and open to you. How you would touch him and hold him. He imagined what sex was like with you, but also what making love was. He loved your mind and heart, and he loved your body too. If given the chance, he would worship you for eternity. All of your insecurities were what he loved most about you. He wanted to kiss your hurt better, he wanted to be your go to in the bad and good, he wanted to be your forever.
“Reid?” you stood up
“Yeah, what?” he snapped out of his thoughts still staring
“Did you hear anything I said?”
“um, no, sorry” he avoided eye contact
You huffed walking away from the crime scene to call Prentiss asking for their progress at the M.E. Spencer scolded himself for being so unprofessional, but in his defense, your body was perfectly curved so he couldn’t help himself.
“Hey Spence. Hotch needs us at the station” you made your way back to the car and started it up. Spencer made his way to the passenger side. You sat in silence for most of the ride, but you remembered something Alvez said back at Quantico.
“it was all from Garcia and Reid” Reid was talking to Luke about you. Your heart jumped imagining what he said about you. She’s perfect. She’s a dream. She’s mine-
“y/n?” spencer’s voice snapped you back to reality. You felt his hand on your thigh lightly tapping, trying to get you back in focus. Your head shot to his hand trying to see if it was your imagination or real but he quickly swiped it away.
“Why’d you move it?”
“I don’t want to make you uncomfortable.” he bowed his head
“Spencer, you could never make me uncomfortable”
He smiled looking back up and putting his hand back. You felt comfortable with him.
~~~
You made it back to the station to share what you found. Delivering the profile, someone came forward explaining the same behavior in their neighbor. The team made it to the house, and found evidence, but not the unsub. Garcia followed his paper trail, tracking his recent credit card history, which led to a motel. The team went in first capturing the unsub which led to a clean arrest. The team packed their bags and headed for the jet.
Reid carried your bag onto the plane for you, which wasn’t a rare occurrence. It always turned heads especially when JJ joked that Spence never carried her bag. You sat next in your own corner, which was your own until Alvez sat across from you. Everyone drifted off to sleep one by one, except you. You had a lot on your mind. When cases closed, you always were wide eyed processing everything that had just happened. But right now, the case wasn’t on your mind. Spencer was. Spencer was thrown off since Luke joined the team a couple days ago. Maybe because he was another male your age? But why would Spencer be jealous of Alvez? Your thoughts were interrupted by Alvez waking up and moving in his seat.
“So.. y/l/n, how long have you and Reid been together?
Your face dropped “what”
“Oh sorry I assumed you two were together”
“Wha. wha.. why would.. why would you get that impression?” your heart started to race
“Well you just seem to be infatuated with each other and it shows. I’m sorry for-“
“no, don’t be at all. thank you actually.” you smiled thanking Luke internally for the confirmation you needed
The jet landed and the team went back to Quantico. You were silent the whole time which Spencer picked up on. JJ, Hotch, and Rossi said their goodbyes and headed home after a long night. Garcia and Alvez snickered for a bit before also saying goodbye and leaving. You decided to stay and finish up some paperwork and wanting you alone, Spencer decided on it too. Your desks were side by side with the aisle separating you two.
~~~
“Hey Spencer” you turned your chair towards him
“Yeah?” he didn’t look up
“Do you ever wish you were someone else?”
“What kind of question is that?” he looked at you and pushed his falling hair back.
This was torture. You wanted him so bad but you had no idea how to tell him. You didn’t want to sacrifice your amazing friendship just to have the led down of the century. Everything pointed to him having mutual feelings for you, but the risk overtook your mind.
“never mind” you laughed out going back to your paperwork
“no, what were you gonna say.” he turned to you giving you his undivided attention. he’s so perfect
You took a second to collect your thoughts. “Well, do you ever want to be someone else. Excluding success and all that but, do you wish you could have the confidence to what you…. wish… you could do?”
“Why would you want to be different? You’re perfect.”
He just called me prefect. outloud.
“I’m far from perfect.” you stared at him
“That’s a lie. You’re perfect. You have the kindest heart and the most incredible mind. You are smart, funny, and beautiful.” he flipped through his file trying to keep cool
“really?”
“Yeah.” He looked you in the eyes, trying to scream the words ‘i love you’. you both sat there looking at each other. you wanted to look away but you couldn’t peel your eyes off of him.
You felt the buildup coming. Your walls crumbling. The years of keeping your mouth shut and being overtly cautious around Spencer to hide the fact that you were in love with him a secret. Your confidence was building as your adrenaline rushed. You were staring right through Spencer and saw his own heart beating. You knew what was gonna happen next.
“You know what… fuck it.”
You pushed yourself up walking to Spencer. He stood up as you came towards him trying to guess your next move. You reached him and grabbed his face pulling your lips to his. He didn’t react at first but caught up after a second. He kissed you back, harder, excited to feel your lips for the first time. His were soft and gentle but also hungry for yours. He deepened the kiss shifting his hands from your shoulders, to your neck, to your waist. He couldn’t find the right spot, so you took his hands and put them on your hips and pulled yourself closer to him. You set your hands back on his neck, closer to his body than you’ve ever been before. He held your body tight, holding you close to him. His body radiating warmth and energy that was so attractive. You felt comfort for the first time in a long time. You felt safe. You felt home.
You broke the kiss needing air and stepped back from Spencer. You both were panting, but smiling, still holding each other. You didn’t need to speak at all, you both knew in the moment it was right. Spencer smiled down at your brushing the hair that he played with out of your face. He traced your nose and bent your hair back behind your ear.
“I’m in love with you” He smiled wide
“You’re so perfect” you smiled back
“Wanna get out of here?”
“Absolutely” He pulled you back into a kiss, shorter, but still magical. He tried leaving your lips to grab his bag but he couldn’t. You held to his body laughing at him trying to grab his stuff to finally take you home.
