Y/N laughed and playfully bumped him with her shoulder. "You would find that attractive, wouldn't you?" She shook her head and stood up. "Let's go somewhere for lunch, you can drool over my intelligence later." Spencer was just staring in shock. He couldn't think of a nice way he hadn't expected her to think like that. His neighbor just kept laughing at how dumbfounded he was. "Look, for all my flaws as a kid, I still graduated with a four point. I'm troubled, not stupid." She stood, pulling him up with her. "Y/N. I am so beyond in love with you. I can't even begin to understand the depths of my emotions for you."
He said it in a 'matter of fact' voice. Like it wasn't an opinion. He said it like it was completely and entirely the truest thing he had ever said to anyone. It was, too. Spencer knew, though he didn't know how, that he was going to marry this woman. She made his soul feel complete. Y/N was blushing when he cupped her cheek in his hand, tilting her head up to look at him. "Hi," she said meekly. "Hello," he responded just as softly. "We should- we should find lunch." Y/N was incredibly flustered; Reid was amazed he had such an effect on a person. He held eye contact as he answered, wanting to see how long he could keep this going. "I agree. Do you have anywhere in mind, amata?"
Y/N tilted her head at him, asking wordlessly. "It's Latin. It means beloved. Would you prefer I keep it in English, my love?" His voice was the smoothest it's ever been, and as much as he was living for the effect it had on Y/N, he felt bad for getting her so worked up in public. Reid dropped his hand to her waist, a playful grin on his face. "You alright there?" He asked softly. She nodded slowly. "Really flustered for no reason. I- this doesn't normally happen to me. I'm sorry," she said with a nervous laugh. "Just let me know when you're ready to go." They stood there for a while, Y/N hiding her face in his shirt. Eventually, she took a step back.
"You tell anyone about that and I'll get arrested again. And this time it'll be a life sentence, got it?" She started walking before he fully processed what was said. Spencer laughed as he ran to catch up. "I can't believe you're threatening an FBI agent!" He said, still laughing. Y/N laughed with him. "I can't believe you're letting me threaten you!"
