Spencer Reid One Shots

Forever. (AU part 3)

a/n: I know, I know, ok. IM SORRY. I promise I'll write more reader x Spencer fics! (I haven't been too inspired so I'll gladly accept recommendations, I'll get more into that in a sec.) Anyway, Drivers License by Olivia Rodrigo has me FUCKED up and I would never forgive myself if I didn't write a fic with it lol. But back to requests, I will totally write a gender-neutral one if requested. However, as a she/they, I wouldn't feel comfortable writing from a male perspective because I just feel it wouldn't be as well written. I hope that ya'll understand where I'm coming from but yeah<3

Genre: Angst!! Sad as shit, like I cried writing this lol.

It had been a few months since their last encounter. Spencer was sitting in his apartment just flicking through channels when he saw her again. It seemed as though the universe kept sending messages, signals that would keep them bound to one another. She was sitting on a stage next to a late-night host, asking her questions.

"So, you just dropped your new single, 'Drivers License'?"

"Yeah.", she giggled, feeling slightly awkward.

"And it...blew up?"

"Um--yeah, I guess."

"If you don't mind me asking, Attici, what is the song about? I mean you're 32 and just got your license?", the host joked.

"No, I've had my license forever now.", she chuckled, "It was just a concept that I had been playing with. But since I moved back to the East Coast, it just brought back a shit ton of memories, ya know? From my childhood, my first love, just everything, and this song was the product of that."

"And you agreed to sing it live for us, right?"

"That, I did."

Spencer watched as she waltzed towards a different part of the stage, gripping the microphone in one hand and shaking her head lightly with a smile. She always did that when she felt nervous. The music cued and she started,

I got my driver's license last week

Just like we always talked about

'Cause you were so excited for me

To finally drive up to your house

But today I drove through the suburbs

Crying 'cause you weren't around

And you're probably with that blonde girl

Who always made me doubt

She's so much older than me

She's everything I'm insecure about

Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs

'Cause how could I ever love someone else?

And I know we weren't perfect

But I've never felt this way for no one

And I just can't imagine

How you could be so okay now that I'm gone?

Guess I didn't mean what I wrote in those songs about you

'Cause we said forever now I drive alone past your street

And all my friends are tired

Of hearing how much I miss you, but

I kinda feel sorry for them

'Cause they'll never know you the way that I do, yeah
