Is This Toxic?(Spencer Reid x Reader)

3) The Bets Have Started

The asshole did it. He actually did it.

He got you sick.

You thought you were fine. After your big headache the night before, you woke up feeling good. So, you did your daily routine. Everything was going amazing. You'd showered, changed, did everything you needed to do that morning and headed off to work.

Once you got to work, you also felt fine, in fact you felt great. Then, it happened, you coughed.

You didn't think much of it. Because why would you, you occasionally cough in your day to day life so you thought that's what was going on. Like one of those random coughs to clear your throat maybe. That's what it was.

Wrong.

You were so wrong. Like very, very wrong. And God did you wish you were right.

Why, because once you coughed for that first time you couldn't stop. The team gave you weird looks throughout the morning. Mostly Derek, Emily, JJ, and Penelope.

Oh yeah, and then you found out that the three of them told Penelope about their conspiracy theory about you and Reid dating. And the fact that right after he got sick, you got sick too, wasn't helping you in your argument that you guys aren't together.

"Y/N are you ready to admit that you and Reid are actually together?" Emily asks.

"God, you're all acting like little kids. Listen well, because I will only be saying this one more time. Reid and I are not dating. Got it? And before you ask, the reason that I'm sick is because yesterday the asshole decided to cough in my face. I already told you this yesterday when it happened" you say.

"Uh huh" they all say, unconvinced by your answer. You just roll your eyes at them, because, when you tried to answer, the only thing that ended up coming out of your mouth was a cough.

Stupid Reid and him coughing in your face.

"Y/N could you come to my office please?" Aaron calls out. You nod your head and make your way there. "What's up Aaron?" you ask your unit chief as you sit down across from him. "I have a quick question." "Shoot." you say.

"Are you and Reid seeing each other outside of work?"

You go into a fit of coughs from the surprise your supervisor inflicted on you. "Ex- Excuse me?"

"Well, it's just that yesterday Reid was sick, and you come in sick today too. I would have thought it's because your desks are so close to each other, but I hear team gossip too you know. And I heard that Reid kissed you yesterday, so, I'm giving you the option to tell me the truth right now or there will be consequences later." And like the buffoon you are, you just stare at him dumbfounded at what he just told you.

"Aaron, I can assure you that what you're hearing is not true. The reason he got close was to cough in my face, hence why I got sick. I can promise you that there is no way Reid, and I would be together." you manage to say without coughing.

He only nodded, but you couldn't tell if he believed you or not and told you to head home because if Reid did get you sick, from what he heard from him it would get worse.

Great.

So, you went home as he requested, and then, once your head touched your pillow, it hit you.

It was like you had food poisoning, a fever, and a rash all in one. Oh god, how you hated your body. After a couple of hours of stomach pains, the throwing up started. What the hell does Reid do that he got a bug this bad? You honestly didn't care what he does in his free time. All you cared about was that the asshole decided to give you this horrible bug. Then you started wondering how the hell he was able to hide how horrible he felt for hours, because as soon as you started feeling bad your face gave you away.

As the day went on you didn't get any better. You called Aaron and told him that you would most likely not be going into work the next day. And you were right, you didn't go in the next day or the day after that. However, on the third morning you felt good as new. Like you had never even gotten sick in the first place.

—-

You went back to work on Thursday. When you sat at your desk you looked up and saw Reid chuckling and Derek, Emily, JJ, and Penelope were looking between the two of you.

"Good morning, Y/L/N. How was your time off?" Reid asked you with a smirk. You rolled your eyes at him and said, "Reid it's not funny."

" Yes, it is," he says back. "You know what I want to know is how the hell you got that stupid bug." Then, his face went slightly pale.

Oh, interesting.

"So, Reid, how'd you get it?" you ask with a smirk.

"Fuck off Y/N." he mutters to you as he writes in his file. You look at him with an amused face. "Now, now. That is no way to talk to a lady Doctor." you say. He chuckles and says with a smirk, "Well it's a good thing you're not a lady."

"You know what Reid," you say, starting to get annoyed, "I will find out how you got this bug. Judging by your face when I asked you how you got it, it's got to be very interesting." He looks at you in a way you can only describe as a way of silently saying game on. You smirk to yourself and get back to work.

'This is gonna be fun' you think to yourself as you're filling out your file.

Little did you know that while you and Reid were having your little conversation your teammates were looking at your interaction and taking bets on when they thought you guys would finally hook up.

A/N: not one of my favorites but not too bad. Hope you've all enjoyed:)
