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.
