Spencer Reid - One Shots

Leave This Life

Screams and crashes sounded through the house. This wasn't the first time this had happened either, in fact it happens almost every day at this point. His job has him so worked up at this point that he can't take it, and so, now he takes his anger out at home. Mostly because he is scared to say anything at work, scared of what his boss might say if he started having a moment, or lash out.

I ran into the into the kitchen. As I walked in there was pans all over the floor, along with a few shattered glasses.

"Spence..." I said as calmly as I possibly could.

He turned to face me, his eyes were red and puffy. Tear tracks stained his face and his shirt. It  was a sad sight to say the least. I walked up to him forcing him into a my arms, where I held onto him tightly, as if it were for dear life.

"I can't do it anymore!!" He screamed through his tears.

"Then lets leave." 

Spencer looked up at me, confused as ever. Lightly he whispered a small 'what' in return, but if you ask me what I said was simple. If I take him away from all of this then it will all end, he won't be so stressed, he won't be overwhelmed, and he'll finally stop breaking things in our house.

"We should leave. Take what we need, and go. Runway from this life, that you clearly do not want to lead right now." I pulled away from him ,to hold his face in my hands. "We should pack a bag each, and leave. It doesn't matter how long we are gone for, lets just go."

I don't know what I saw in his eyes, but it seemed like it could have been hope. Hope that maybe all of his stress will actually go away, instead of it being a fake reality of some sort.

"Okay. Lets do it." He smiled back, roughly placing his lips onto mine. Before he started running upstairs to our shared room. For the first time in a while he actually seemed excited, happy even. 

It didn't look like he was upset or anything, like he usually tended to be when he went off to work. He was actually happy to go on some what of a trip.

Within a flash he was back, ready, and even packed my stuff. Not a lot of stuff however, he did still manage to pack lightly instead how heavy he would if he were going on an actual trip. After that he practically dragged me out the door, almost forgetting to lock the door to our house on the way out.

*Time skip - 3 days later*

Spencer and I have now made it to a different country, we thought maybe heading up to Canada for a little bit might be nice. Although his colleges from work have not stopped calling and texting him, primarily about where he has been, because he never told them he was leaving. Pretty sure they think he is okay though, they have yet to try and call me, so hopefully they are fine.

Besides the non-stop texts, we have been having a really nice time in Canada. We've explored a few different cities between Toronto and Quebec. To say this was a much needed was a very big understatement.

"Ugh, why can't they just leave me alone? I mean this is the 15th time JJ has texted me in the past 4 minutes! It is getting very excessive." Spencer said, very much annoyed.

"If they are bothering you so much, do something about it. Tell them you're fine, or to leave you alone, or something like that."

He paused for a minute after I said that, he was thinking of something. "You know what, maybe I'll do just that." But wat I thought he was going to do was something completely different then what he actually did. "Goodbye people from Quantico." Then he blocked them.

I was shocked to say the least, that was the last thing I expected him. After all he even told me just two days ago that this trip was just that, a trip. No matter how much I wish it wasn't, we still have lives. Now it is making it seem like he never wants to go back...

"I changed my mind, darling." I turned to him, staring very confused. "I don't want to go back. I want to stay here, with you. We can start anew, forget that dreadful life.  Together."

Secretly I hoped he would say that. To be honest a desk job isn't that great of a job, which is what I have. If I'm being more honest I had hoped this is kind of what this trip would result in, because I can't stand the way our life in Virginia was.

"Okay, lets do it. Lets runway from everything there, and start new here." I smiled widely at him.
