Summary: After Y/N takes a two week break from work, Spencer feels himself missing her more than he should - Derek help put everything into perspective.
✧❀❀❀✧
The moment Y/N announced that she was taking a two week break to visit her family, Spencer couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. Of course he was happy that she was finally able to see her family after months but he couldn't help but feel a bit selfish. Since the moment Y/N joined the BAU a year ago, her and Spencer had been inseparable. They did practically everything together. Everyone else could tell that there was something other than friendship visible but it remained completely unnoticed by Y/N and Spencer.
When Y/N bid goodbye to everyone, she wrapped them in a quick hug before parting with them. However once she got to Spencer, their hug lingered a little longer than it should have. Spencer's arms were wrapped tightly around her waist while Y/N's were wrapped around his neck. With his head buried into her neck, Spencer breathed in her scent of her perfume - a scent he had always associated with Y/N. Everyone around the two shared knowing looks that went completely ignored by the two friends who were obviously in love.
When Y/N walked out of the bullpen doors, Spencer only wished that she would come back but he knew she wouldn't. Spencer hadn't felt this way about anyone before and he had no idea why he was feeling the way he was. After all, she was only going to be gone for two weeks.
"Reid?" Derek said, snapping him out of his daydream.
"Oh, yeah?" Spencer questioned, feeling confused.
"We've landed." He replied, giving Spencer a concerned look.
Spencer looked around at the empty jet. Like Derek had said, they had landed and everyone had already left.
"Oh, I'll be out in a minute. I need to grab my things." Spencer said, leaving Derek to walk off.
Making sure he had everything before exiting the jet, Spencer couldn't help but let his eyes lingered on the seat that is usually occupied by Y/N.
Normally when they were on the jet, he and Y/N were always within touching distance of one another. If it was a particular hard case, Y/N would always grip onto Spencer's hand for reassurance. Spencer never knew if she realised she was doing it but he welcomed her hand regardless.
"Reid!" Derek called out.
"Coming!" Spencer shouted back before leaving the jet.
***
When Spencer got to his hotel room that night, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness. Luckily each member was able to have their own room so no one had to share leaving Spencer to sit by himself in the quiet room. In instances like this, Y/N would always come over to Spencer's room or he would go over to hers to figure out more things that would help them with the case. Sometimes they lost track of time and they would spend the night in each other's rooms. That wouldn't happen during this case.
