Spencer Reid - One Shots

Too Hard

Prompt: Spencer is always leaving for a case, but the goodbye is never gets easier.

-

No matter how long it was for, you always hated saying goodbye to your boyfriend. The apartment was always colder when he was gone, and the days always felt longer.

This time it was no different. Spencer had come running towards your desk, which was 3 floors below his. It was the only good part, it was always done in person, instead of on the phone.

"(Y/n)!" Spencer called out to you, slightly out of breath from running.

You smiled at the sight of him, but the expression immediately dropped. His face said it all. He had to leave again.

Once he reached you desk, he pulled you into a tight huge. Lifting you off the ground.

"I've got 20 minutes, can we take a walk?" Spencer spoke into your hair. A simple nod was all that you could muster.

The walk down to the lobby was silent, neither of you dared to speak a word of the inevitable. It was never easy, no matter how many times it happened. Spencer gave you a reassuring smile once you reached the sidewalk, bringing your hand up to his lips giving it a light kiss.

Your face didn't change much. The edges of your mouth curved up slightly, but immediately dropped again.  Spence's head hung low after that, followed by a loud sigh.

"Listen I know how hard it is-but it should only be a few days. It sounded like a short one, and we can always-" You interrupted.

"That's what  you said last time though. As well as the time before that and they all lasted longer, plus you came home with many injuries..."

He was at a lost of words, because all of what you said... Was true. And it pained him to admit.

"I am assuring you this time, it will be shorter. Plus I will call you every chance I get, we will only be a few states over. Trusts me I get it, it sucks. But it's my job.." The moments that followed were quiet.

You wrapped your arms around his neck, and his highly around your waist. Closing the small gap that was in between the two of you. Spencer rested his head on top of yours and you nuzzled your head in his chest.

No one spoke, the two of you just stood in the others embrace.

"Just please promise me you'll stay safe" The muffled words came out from your mouth.

"I promise" Spencer grabbed your chin, to force you to face him. Pressing his soft lips against yours, for long moments it was like that. Until Spencer's watch went off, signalling that the 20 minutes were up.

A sad sigh came from him, as goodbyes were shared. Within a blink of an eye he disappeared back into the building. Leaving you alone.

-time skip-

The days were longer than usual, the apartment darker as well. You felt more alone each morning you woke. Having the opposite side of the bed, empty and cold.

It's been 4 days since your boyfriend left, and yes you talk everyday. But it isn't the same, plus it was only briefly.

Today was no different then the last, it was 10 p.m and you were heading home. Once arriving at your apartment, you poured yourself a drink then went to your room. Where you would head to bed immediately.

Little did you know, Spencer would be coming home. Except it would be for another 2 hours, so you wouldn't be awake to know.

The lock on the door clicked, and the door easily opened. The room ahead was empty, making it clear that you were probably in your room.

Once Spencer entered the bedroom you two shared, he saw you. Completely passed out on the bed, with an untouched glass of whisky on the nightstand.

He moved around the bed to stand next to you. He traced his hand lightly against your cheek, but it still caused you to stir. A small whimper escaped your lips, from the lost of touch.

Spencer went and moved you under the covers, following with a kiss on the forehead. Then he shut off the lights and got in next to you. Pulling you as close to his body as possible, holding on tight, inhaling your sweet scent.

Man, we're you in for a surprise when you woke up.
