Is This Toxic?(Spencer Reid x Reader)

2) Cough

The day after the Idaho case was a paperwork day and thank God because it was a Friday, and you didn't think you could have handled a case during the weekend you were supposed to have off.

However, as much as you hated having cases on the weekend you somewhat wished you did so you could at least do something. Your friends had all gone to some work thing. They're lawyers and they had just won their biggest case, so they went out to celebrate. At the Bahamas. How was that even possible?

THE FREAKING BAHAMAS.

Anyway, with them gone, all you had to do this weekend was either lay on your couch and watch Netflix, or clean. And like the responsible adult that you are, you chose to watch Netflix. I mean, if your friends are in the Bahamas enjoying themselves, why can't you enjoy your weekend too, right?

Correct, so to binge watching you went.

The weekend was fairly boring, and you actually got around to cleaning, which you knew you couldn't put off any longer, but God did you want to.

Monday finally arrived and you had to be up at 5 A.M. to be able to make it to work on time. It's not that you live far from the BAU, in fact you live about 25 minutes away. The problem is you are excruciatingly slow at getting ready, so you have to wake up a bit earlier to get to work at 7. You do your normal routine which took you less time today. The day was already looking up. As you're walking out the door you grab your bag and decide to grab one of your random knick knacks in case you need it. Which you never do, why, because it's random shit but truly you never know and it's good to be prepared. Who the hell is going to need a baseball card you stole from your brother? No one that's who. But what if you meet a little kid and he's sad and he really wants it? Always think ahead as you like to say.

You made it through the BAU doors at 6:59 which you patted yourself on the back for because, hey even a minute early is still early. You then sat on your desk, which you have complained about on multiple occasions because it's right across for Reid. I mean sure the man isn't the worst sight, but neither is a baboon's butt so......

After a couple of days on the job you asked Aaron if you could switch desks to sit across from Emily, but his response was "No." Like a plain "No." You suppose he wanted you and Reid to get along, but as the years have passed, you're sure he's seen that, that just won't happen. Oh well, what can you do?

As you're doing paperwork Reid begins to cough. At first you think nothing of it. But then, he starts coughing every couple of seconds and it starts getting on your nerves. "Reid! Shut up! I'm trying to do my work."

"Oh, I'm sorry Y/L/N," he says sarcastically while coughing. "Is my -" cough, "Coughing annoying you? -" another cough, "Well I guess if it's disturbing you so much, -" yet another annoying cough, "I'll do it even more." He smiles after saying that last part, but it's short lived as he coughs louder, this time it ends in a sneeze.

You laugh at him, leading to a glare at you and cough once again from the annoying Doctor. Finally, after what seems like hours of torture from Reid's loud coughing and you telling him to shut up, to which he can only respond to with coughing, Aaron steps in. And may God bless his soul because he tells Reid to go home and take two days off so he can get better.

The part you think he's a godsend for isn't that he's worried enough to send Reid home, it's that he sent Reid home, and you don't have to see the asshole for two whole days!

Before Reid left you thought you should annoy him one more time. I mean you wouldn't get to do it for two glorious days so might as well get a kick out of this right now. So, as he was getting coffee for his journey back to his house you went up to him with a fake pout.

"Aw, Reid has a little cough, and he has to go home. Poor baby." he looks around as if to check and see if anyone is watching then leans down at you and coughs in your face. He walks away with a smile on his face, and you just stand there like an idiot because the son of a bitch actually coughed in your face.

"Reid!" you yell. But when you look back, he's gone. " Son of a bitch! He coughed on my face! Next time I see him I'm going to kill him. I'm actually going to do it this time." you say to yourself.

As you walk back to your desk you can feel eyes on you. You turn around and see Derek, Emily, and JJ looking at you. You look back at them confused and they just smile at you. "What? Did I spill coffee on myself?" you say while inspecting your clothes. "We saw that Y/N." Emily says with a smile. You then proceed to look at them like they're crazy because you have no idea what they're talking about.

"Don't look at us like that." JJ says teasingly. "So," Derek speaks up, "How long have you and pretty boy been dating?"

You stare at them in shock and after a couple of seconds you begin to laugh which causes them to look at you like you're the crazy one and not them. "Me and- me and Reid- like together- like sleeping together? " You ask them while laughing. They all nod their heads yes which causes you to laugh even more. "Why would you think me, and Reid are sleeping together? I mean sure I have questionable taste in men but, you really think I'd go so low and sleep with Reid? What, do you think I'm desperate or something? " You ask while wiping the tears that came out of your eyes from laughing so hard. "Y/N just tell us, we saw him kiss you by the coffee machine" Emily says.

You stare at them blankly. Taking a moment to process the words Emily just spoke. Then it hits you.

Now it makes sense.

You look over to the coffee machine and see an agent standing there and you realize from this angle it could have looked like Reid did kiss you. "Reid didn't kiss me." you say to which they look at like disappointed parents who think you're lying to them. "I'm not kidding! I went over to him while he was getting coffee to make fun of- I mean wish him well on his journey to recover from his sickness, and the asshole coughed in my face! Who the hell does that?" you exclaim.

They still didn't look like they believed you, but they let it go and got back to work. For the rest of the day, you catch them whispering to one another and side eyeing you. You choose to ignore it and go home at the end of the day with a horrible headache.

"If Reid got me sick, I'm gonna be pissed at that stick." you mutter to yourself in your car. You make it home and immediately go to your bed and sleep, not bothering to shower or take off your work clothes.

A/N: this is one was kind of funny. Did take some parts out that were just stupid and made no sense for the story. Really thought I was so good at this. Anyway, hope you've enjoyed, see you in the next chapter.
