request: jealous spence

y/n pov
I head to the coffee shop before going to work at the BAU. i decide to text spencer, my best friend who also happens to be my crush. however, knowing him, he will never see me as anything more than a friend since everyone knows he loves jj.

y/n: hey, i'm going to get coffee before work, do you want to come with me?
spencer: of course, i'll head there now, (y/n) :)

I feel so stupid having a crush on him. i can't believe i've liked him since the day i started working at the BAU.

I sit at the table for a little reading a book by oscar wilde. I see a tall shadow and i look up thinking it was spence but i see an attractive man who is staring at my book.  he looks at me and says, "sorry, i love that author. i don't mean to be a creepy. my name is oliver, nice to meet you. i'm so sorry for just intruding." I look up at him and he almost looks embarrassed, "hello, my name is (y/n). nice to meet you too. he happens to be my favorite author too. its okay, you weren't intruding" he then gives me a comforting smile that makes me kinda happy. he then asks, "can i buy you coffee? i see that you don't have coffee" he takes a sits himself in front of me. "umm, we'll i'm kinda waiting for someone." he looks sad, "oh, your boyfriend?" i start to laugh. then i hear a man behind him talk, "yes, her boyfriend." i look behind oliver and see spencer, i give him a look because we aren't dating. oliver gets up and apologized to spencer. "i'm so sorry." then i looked at spencer and asked why he did that. spencer said he didn't want men flirting with me. however, i was upset. i wanted to move on from him. "you have no right to act like my boyfriend. you are not my boyfriend. he was nice to me. i liked his face." spencer looked hurt. he just looked at me and apologized and left. maybe i shouldn't have shouted at him. i just felt terrible because spencer loved jj, he will never love me and then he tried to control who i liked as if he was my boyfriend. i have a right to move on. spencer doesn't know i like him though.

i walk over to oliver and apologized and said that spencer was just a friend and he said "i think he likes you. he seemed jealous" i looked down at my coffee because i had no idea what to say. "no, i think he's overprotective. i know he doesn't like me. he's in love with someone else" oliver started to laugh, "no one would have done that if they just saw the other person as 'just friends'". i started to feel bad about what i had told spencer, even though he might or might not like me. i wanted to have hope he could like me. i excused myself and left the coffee shop. leaving oliver alone.

i walked out of the coffee shop and i regret now not telling (y/n) why i didn't want her to date anyone. instead, i left her there with another man.

i got to work and i didn't see (y/n), i believe she is still at the coffee shop talking to that tall man. i sit down wondering how i should apologize to (y/n) and if i should tell her that i love her. as i was thinking, i see jj standing, hovering over me. "hey spence, are you okay?" i look up at her, "oh hey. yeah i'm okay". she looks down at me, "i know you. i've known you since forever. tell me what happened". i started to explain to her that i had a crush on (y/n) and how she doesn't seem interested in me and how a tall, handsome man flirted with her and how badly i reacted. she listened to me and then laughed. "you did what?! you pretende you were her boyfriend?" "i know! i know! it was a moment of distress". we start to laugh and jj whispers to me, "spence, she likes you. its so obvious. everyone knows it but you". i look up at her and asked if she was serious. jj looks at me and says that she was 100 percent serious. and gives me a hug. after i hug jj, i see (y/n) standing by the door with tears in her eyes and she runs out the office. i chase after her.

I walk in the office prepared to confess my feelings for spencer and apologize for snapping at him. but then, i see him and jj hugging. he looks so happy. i guess that he wasn't that hurt by it. all of a sudden, i start to feel tears well up in my eyes. i just stand there, heart broken. i see spencer look up. i get scared and just start to run to the womens bathroom. i feel terrible. i can't let him see me cry and i can't tell him now about my feelings. i get to the bathroom and i see my makeup run down my dice with tears. i clean my face and stare at the mirror. how could i be so stupid. imagine if i told him how i felt and he rejected me and i lost my friendship with him. that would be the worst thing. i wash my hands and i hear someone walk into the bathroom and i hear them call out my name "(y/n)!". i look over and i see spencer. "spencer! you're not supposed to be here. this is the ladies bathroom. you are not a lady." i chuckle. i hope to distract him. he looks at me and hugs me tightly. all i can do is hug back. he feels so warm and seems like sandalwood and warm coffee. to be honest, i've never been this close to him. he has a thing for germs and doesn't even shake hands with people. the only person i've seen this close to spencer was jj... i ask what's wrong and spencer looks at me and says "i'm sorry that i said that i am your boyfriend. the reason i don't want people to date you is because- because... I really like you. in a romantic way and not friendship way." i look at him and his hazel eyes, and smile. "i was going to apologize as well for my outburst. i was upset because i wanted to move on... from you. i've had a huge crush on you since i've meet you but everyone knows you like jj and i knew i needed to move on." he starts to laugh, "i've never liked jj. she's just a friend. i've only liked you. since we met as well." he starts to look sad. "what's wrong?" i ask. "i'm just sad that we could have been together this whole time but we weren't." i look up at him and hug him and then, i kiss him. "it's okay, we can make up for it" he gives me another kiss and i can feel his lips start to curl up, like he is smiling. i give him a hug and we just stay hugging. but then, "okay, get out love birds. i need to pee!" garcia says as she is walking in between us. i had forgotten we were in the bathroom. spencer looks embarrassed and i start to laugh. "i'm sorry! we will get out!" garcia laughs and spencer and i walk out hand and hand. jj sees us and gives us a thumbs up.
