Finally, the day of your 4th anniversary and Spencer promised he booked time off and you trust him even though he's given you multiple reasons not to about this type of stuff. For instance:

- Your birthday
Spencer was about to come home from the office to pick you up so you both could go on the birthday dinner he and his teammates promised you but after hours of waiting, finally getting to midnight, you officially declared yourself 28 and disappointed. They didn't message you until 2 days later, they forgot all about it once the case showed up and never bothered to text you until Penelope saw your Instagram story of your night alone with a candle on your mini cake.

- Yours and Spencer's 2nd and 3rd anniversary
He had promised he'd take you out on an amazing date or trip but never really bothered to book time off because he "forgot" so you ended up being disappointed each time and on one, he asked you to meet him at the restaurant where you were humiliated, sitting by yourself, telling the waiter you'll be waiting for your company that never showed.

- Your first art gallery opening
You waited at the door for Spencer and the team to show up, the whole night but not one came or remembered to tell you they couldn't come. This time wasn't even about a case. It was after. They forgot and went out for drinks. Only remembering when you reminded them the next day when they were hungover. Worst of all, you picked them up all drunk at the end of the night, with the clothes you wore to your gallery opening.

There was many more. Your volleyball games, your 2 surgeries where he had promised to pick you up when they were done and take care of you but didn't, being your date to your high school reunion, family reunions and multiple dates. Well technically one date that he's been postponing. But now, Spencer promised he had booked time off and you were hoping, this time, he would actually stay. You minded every single one of those times but you understood, saving lives and all. But sometimes you just want Spencer all to yourself because you're starting to feel like you're never his first choice.

While you were getting ready in the bathroom, Spencer had received a call.

Hotch

Spencer "Shit. Please no."

"Hey Hotch, what's up?"

"Reid, there's a case and we really need you. All hands on deck, immediately."

"Hotch I'm supposed to be off, I booked this weeks ago."

"I'm sorry Reid, I know but JJ and Chief Cruz have gone missing, we're already down one profiler. We need you. Now. Make it up some other time, but JJ and Cruz's lives are at stake."

Spencer thought for a few seconds before finally giving in to prevent more arguments. With his boss anyway.

"Okay, okay. I'll be there. Give me half an hour. Please."

Spencer slowly walks to the bathroom with a disappointed look on his face and his cellphone in hand. He knocks on the door and Y/n opens it and immediately sees his face and the way he's fiddling with his phone.

"Case? But you have time off! You said you booked it off! Spencer!" You were getting frustrated now and walked out the bathroom.

"Y/n, JJ and our section chief have been kidnapped. What else am I supposed to do? Please, understand this." Spencer pleads, following her to their walk in closet.

She starts taking off her evening dress and her heels and changes into pyjamas. Doing this, she just has tears streaming down her face. She walks back in the bathroom to take her makeup off, Spencer still following her and she just gives in, knowing it would be selfish of her to prevent him from saving his best friend and their boss. Wouldn't wanna have another Strauss situation.
