rewrite of "everything i wanted"
part 1 - it's time to go
that old familiar body ache
the snaps from the same little breaks
in your soul , you know
when it's time to go
part 2 - the great war
always remember
tears on the letters
i vowed not to cry...

LEAH AND SPENCER were sitting down at their assigned table eating dinner. they were taking their time, honestly slowing down while they waited till everyone else finished their meals and head over to the dance floor so they would be able to talk alone.
"you mean to tell me you've never had an actual boyfriend?" spencer asked leah, teasingly.
"stop," leah looked at him. "don't act like it's such a big surprise. i told you i was a loner in high school, shayne was the only guy that showed any interest in me and he was gay."
"but-you've never even, like, tried to find a boyfriend? you're 26, you're beautiful, smart, funny...how could you have not been with a guy yet?"
"spencer, i'll have you know i have been with a guy, it just wasn't in a relationship. just because i've never had a boyfriend doesn't mean i'm not experienced in the field."
spencer opened his mouth to debate, but closed it shortly after. "fair enough."
they stepped for a few moments, beginning to take a few bites of their food again. leah stopped suddenly, putting her fork down, wiping her hands with her napkin.
then she grabbed spencer's hand with both of hers, imitating the action he did earlier in the night. "i'm having a really great time tonight. i just thought i'd tell you." he smiled at her. "i'm having a good time, too."
"what are you crazy kids up to?" a voice says from behind them, a hand being placed on each of their shoulders. "none of your business, derek," leah responded to him. "we are having a great time without you here."
"harsh, leah," derek responded jokingly. he knew she was kidding, but he also loved to tease them. she then asked, "are you drinking tonight?"
"a little bit, i want to remember most of the night though so i won't get so drunk that i'm dancing on tables in an hour."
"boring, i would've loved to see that." "oh hush, i'll make sure to do it at yours. i'm gonna go babysit prentiss now, but leah, save a dance for me!"
"i will!" leah screamed to him as he walked back to garcia and emily, who leah could tell were already a few drinks in. leah and spencer finished dinner eventually, still stopping in between every few bites to finish a conversation they started. they were still sitting down at the table, while the rest of the agents were out on the dance floor.
jj and emily then walked over to the two. "guys!" jj yelled. "come dance with us!"
"i don't dance," spencer told her. "come onnnn, it's my wedding! leah?" "i'm on a date, jj," leah responded.
"i knowwww, but please? i promise-just one song and you can come back." "i already said-"
"you can go if you want, leah," spencer cut leah off. leah turned her attention to him. "i'm not just going to leave you here, spence." "leah, please go," he smiled. "it's jj's night, not mine-and she wants you to go. besides, i'll be right here watching and laughing at you the whole time."
leah shook her head at him and laughed, then turned back to emily and jj, then back to spencer. "i'll be back in 5 minutes."
leah stood up, and was then pulled over to the dance floor by jj and emily. they led her to garcia and morgan, who were dancing to an upbeat song together. "my baby!" garcia yelled at leah. "where's your lover boy?"
"again, first date, and he's at the table. hotch and rossi are going over to keep him company for a bit."
"awesome! ladies and gentlemen, the party can finally start, because the party just arrived!" garcia reached her arms in leah's direction as she made that "announcement." the people around them started to jokingly clap for leah, and all she did was laugh. "you guys are really something else. now let's dance!"
leah didn't know the song that was playing, but she did have a lot of fun dancing to it. almost 3 minutes passed until the song finally ended, and another one started playing.
"wait," leah said, her eyebrows furrowing as she listened. her eyes widened, as did her smile. "no way."
"what's up?" emily asked her. leah didn't respond, all she did was run through any people were in her way to get back to the table. she locked eyes with spencer reid, grabbing his hand and pulling him to the dance floor.
"i told you," he started. "i don't dance."
"you don't have to dance," she responded. "just listen."
he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and started to listen to the song. "noooo," he groaned while laughing.
"this was our destiny, spencer reid!"
as the lyrics started, leah screamed them loudly. "her name is noelle...!"
she danced like a crazy person while screaming the lyrics, spencer watching her every move. people were staring, but at this point, she didn't care. all she cared about was spencer reid, the beautiful ballroom, and wheatus.
"'cause i'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby," leah took spencer's hands, trying to make hi dance with her. he didn't budge at first, but eventually, he started to sway slowly back and forth as she jumped around.
"what is going on?" derek morgan asked spencer, watching leah dance. "let's jus say we have a long history with this song," spencer kept his eyes on leah.
"so do i, i love this song!"
derek then walked over towards leah, starting to scream out the lyrics and dance crazily with her as well. and then emily joined. and then garcia.
jj, hotch and rossi walked over to spencer, all of their eyes on the four dancing agents who were acting like complete fools.
"guess they really like this song," jj smiled.
"hey, rossi," hotch turned towards david. "remind me to never forget this."
"are you kidding?" he responded, pulling his phone out. "i'm recording this."
"come with me friday, don't say maybe," the four agents screamed out loud, beginning to slow down the dancing. leah turned her attention over to spencer, locking eyes with him, beginning to sing to him instead of screaming.
she ran over to him, wrapping her arms around him as she jumped into his arms. he spun her around and she wrapped her arms around his neck as she just barely whispered the rest of the lyrics to him.
"no, she doesn't know what she's missing," she finally finished. she then wrapped spencer into a hug, both of them laughing.
"i cannot believe they played our song," leah said, still hugging him.
"me neither," he responded, pulling away. "i'll admit, it's kind of growing on me."
"really?"
"eh-i still prefer classical, but i guess 'teenage dirtbag' is an okay song."
