Team movie night

Aaron

We all walk out of the elevator and I'm surprised that I'm not bombarded with a hug from Garcia.

"She and Reid haven't hardly left her office." Morgan says and I make my way to her office. I end the call and knock on her door.

She opens and I get pulled into a hug immediately. "You're back. I was so worried that we wouldn't ever get you back." Garcia says and cries into my shirt.

I hug her back the best I can wish my arms being practical trapped at my sides. When she lets go of me, she whips her eyes and then walks past me.

I walk into the room and Spencer stands up quickly. I open my arms before they get crushed at my side again and hug him as he does me.

"Don't ever take my place again. God I was so worried about you after you told me to leave and you giving me your things." Spencer says.

I move one hand to the back of his head and run my fingers through his hair a bit to try and get him to calm down.

"Shhhh. Spencer I need you to take a moment and just listen to my voice okay?"

He nods and we stand there like that for a little while. "I'm just glad you're back." He says and I nod.

"Spencer I did this so you would be safe. I never gave you my phone, other gun, or the multiple fully charged portable charger packs I had, so that I was would be found. If I had to make the choice again, I would. You mean to much to everyone here, for me to just give up the opportunity to get you back like that."

"You're important to all of us as well." He says and I shake my head.

"As you boss sure, but you've got a bond with everyone here. I would be bad at my job if I didn't sacrifice myself for anyone of you, if it meant that you all got to keep going."

He shakes his head hugs me a bit tighter. "Don't say that. You're important to everyone of us." He says and I hear muffled crying coming from him. "You're important to me." He says.

I rest my head atop his own and Garcia walks in. "We're going to have a team move night tonight at our parents house." Garcia says.

"What time?"

"Whenever you guys get there. We're all heading over now." She says and grabs he bag before patting me on the back and leaving.

"Do you want to talk about what you wanted to tell me?"

"It can wait until you're feeling better." Spencer says.

"I'm okay. It's nothing I can't handle. If you don't want to tell now, it's fine. I just hope that you tell me soon."

I pull away from the hug and turn to walk out of the room when he grabs my hand. "No, I want to tell you and I can tell you now. Just don't fire me." He says and I stop and turn back around confused.

"Spencer I'm not going to fire you."

"I like you. Not just as my friend or as my boss. I understand if you don't, and I hope we can just continue our friendship. And forget this conversation ever happened if that's the case." He says.

I step close to him again and grab the bottom of his chin, to make him look at me. "Spencer if I didn't feel the same, then why did I kiss you before letting you leave? Or why do you think I kept you name private when I was being questioned?"

"To reassure me and to make sure that none of us on the team knew who you were interested in, because that's part of your personal life." He says.

"Yes, but I also knew that there was a chance that I would never be found. I didn't want to say you name and leave you with even more guilt. I also kissed you because I knew it could be the last time I would see you. I wanted to do that at least if I wouldn't make it."
