"You're staring again." Morgan laughed, waving a hand over Spencer's face."Hmm?" Spencer blinked, still staring.
"Pretty boy, you're practically drooling," Morgan laughed.
"N-no, I'm not. Shut up, Morgan." The boy genius replied, wiping his mouth.
"Uh-huh, sure pretty boy, sure." Derek chuckled.
The staring in question was at Y/N, the team member Spencer was most fond of. Y/N had joined the team 2 years ago and just like that became Spencer's best friend. She was, in many ways, everything he longed for. And the entire team knew it, except for her.
"Morning, Reid!" Y/N exclaimed, walking by his desk, "New book?" She asked.
"Yeah, it's the book you recommended! Y/F/B." He smiled, explaining how much he truly enjoyed the book she gave to him.
Which went into one of his usual Reid Rambles. The girl, unlike the rest of the team, never interrupted the genius when he'd ramble. She thought his rambles were adorable. She loved how he'd get so excited about things he enjoyed.
The team totally wanted the two to be together since they were practically attached at the hip already. Spence had taught Y/N how to play chess, she taught him about pop culture, he'd read to her on the jet, and she'd bring him coffee and chocolate donuts with sprinkles. The two, however, didn't want to ruin their friendship, so they never admitted to their feelings.

Later, after work, the team was getting ready to leave. Y/N walked over to the group and Morgan immediately ran up to her with Spencer.
"Y/N, can you please convince Pretty Boy over here to come to the bar with us tonight?" Morgan pleaded with her."Spence, I'm going so, you should too!" The woman explained.
"Hmm, but I have the Doctor Who marathon-" Spencer replied.
"Record it, and we can watch it together tomorrow! Please, Spence." She smiled softly, making her trade-mark puppy eyes no one could say no to.
"Well, it would be more fun with someone else to watch with." Spence smiled. "I'm in!"
Y/N clapped her hands and squealed, and Morgan just gave Spencer a look, knowing she had him wrapped around her finger. The rest of the team was quite excited about the outing they were going to. So, after work, the girls went to Garcia's house to get ready.

Eventually, the team got to the bar. Y/N had on her short, Y/F/C dress that laid over a long sleeve shirt. He loved that dress, especially paired with the high-top shoes he bought her for her 25th birthday. Her h/c hair curled. She was beautiful."You look gorgeous, Y/N!" Spencer grinned as he fluffed his hair a little.
"Thank you, Spence, you look great too!" She smiled, blushing softly.
Spencer and Y/N walked with their arms intertwined. He always made sure to walk by the road and positioned her in the safest area possible. It was the little things like that, that the two would do that showed how great of a couple they'd be. They entered the building to loud music, fancy lights, and many people dancing. The team immediately grabbed drinks, except for Spencer and Y/N, who danced instead. The two stuck together for a while until Spencer went to talk to Morgan and lost Y/N in the crowd. He panned each area looking for her...
Eventually, his eyes landed on Y/N, who was flirting with some other guy at the bar. It was then that Spencer realized he had to admit it. He wanted her. He wanted her only for himself. He felt jealous, which wasn't anything new. The guy was in love with her, he had been since the day he met her.
Y/N panned the room and eventually saw Spencer from a distance, waving him over.
"Hey, Spencer!" She smiled. "This is Ethan." Ethan, the guy who was now gripping her waist in a protective way. The way Spencer wished he could. Spencer, unknowingly made a face and Y/N brows furrowed."You okay, Spence?" She questioned, looking concerned.
"Excuse me, Y/N, can you come with me outside?" Reid asked.
"Spencer-" She softly spoke, with light irritation in her voice.
"Please, Y/N." He half yelled. The noise only making things worse because it was hard to hear.
"Dude, what's your problem-" The other guy replied. Which, made Spencer angry because this new guy acted like he knew Y/N better than he did.
"Sorry, Ethan. He's my friend, it's okay." She told the guy. Tearing Ethan's hand from her waist and walking outside with Spencer.
"She's not that interested in you anyway," Spencer replied.

"What's your problem, Spencer?" The woman questioned. She put her hands on her hips."I- I," He tried to explain himself as he fiddled with his fingers and shifted his weight between legs. He wanted to tell Y/N how he felt. But, without preparing anything, his thoughts seemed like one giant maze in his head. One that he couldn't just solve in 3 seconds.
"Spence, why did you do that?" She paused, waiting for an answer. "You do know you were being kind of a jerk in there, right?" She huffed, beginning to walk back inside until Reid grabbed her hand, spun her around, and kissed her. He was kissing her, she was kissing back, and... they were kissing. His hand gently cradled her cheek, and her hands wrapped around his waist. After a minute or two, they stopped for some air. Neither could speak for a few minutes, they just stood in awe.
"I'm in love with you, Y/N." He whispered in the space left between them.
"I saw you with that guy and I just... I want to be the one who holds you when you fall asleep. The one you'll always bring coffee and donuts to. The one who will be with you through all the good and bad. The one who that heart you have, that amazing heart you have, belongs to."
She kissed him first, this time more passionately. She smiled, as they quietly stopped the kiss. He lightly placed some of her hair behind her left ear.
"I want you, Y/N." He smiled, squeezing her hand, and gazing into her beautiful e/c eyes. It was dark, except for soft fairy lights around the bar's door and the moonlight in the clear sky.
"I want you too, Spencer." She replied, kissing him again.
"I like your chapstick by the way." Spencer winked, wrapping his arm around her waist.

The next day, the pair walked into the office together."Hey, hey you two!" Garcia greeted them. "Now, I'm not a profiler, but usually people who are just friends don't kiss like that." She giggled.
"What?" Y/N replied, looking at Spencer who was blushing.
"Next time, check to see if there are windows behind you before you make out like that." Hotch smirked.
