141. Unanticipated Affection - Spencer x reader (Criminal Minds)

The clinking of dishes and the steady hum of the dishwasher filled the kitchen as Y/N wrapped up the evening's cleanup. The lingering aroma of the meal mingled with the faint scent of lemon from the cleaner on the countertops. Dinner had been a delight—cooking together, sharing stories, and savoring the peacefulness of the night.

Y/N wiped their hands on a towel and glanced toward the living room. There, Spencer Reid lounged on the sofa, absorbed in a book. The soft glow of the lamps bathed the room in a warm light, creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere.

With a soft smile, Y/N approached the sofa, savoring the tranquil scene before them. They gently placed their hands on Spencer's shoulders. The unexpected touch made Spencer tense for a moment, but he soon relaxed under the soothing pressure.

Spencer looked up, initially startled, but his surprise quickly melted into a warm grin upon seeing Y/N's face. The love and adoration in Y/N's eyes made his heart skip a beat.

Without a word, Y/N leaned in slowly, their lips brushing against Spencer's in a brief, sweet kiss that was more teasing than passionate. They pulled back just enough to see Spencer's surprised eyes flutter open, his confusion turning into longing. With a soft chuckle, Y/N leaned in again, this time letting the kiss deepen, their touch becoming more fervent and assured.

Spencer's eyes widened in surprise, his lips slightly parted as he looked at Y/N with a mixture of confusion and longing.

Y/N chuckled softly at Spencer's reaction, their eyes twinkling with amusement. "Gotcha," they whispered, their fingers lingering on Spencer's shoulders, the playful gesture amplifying the warmth in their eyes.

Spencer blinked, trying to shake off the surprise. A sheepish grin spread across his face as he set his book aside. Tilting his head slightly, he asked, "That was... unexpected. Why did you pull away so quickly?"

Y/N shrugged with a playful smile. "I don't know," they said teasingly. "Just felt like it."

Spencer's gaze grew tender, though a hint of nervousness lingered. "I didn't expect this when I started reading," he admitted, his voice tinged with uncertainty. "I mean, this is wonderful, but you really caught me off guard. Are you sure you want to—"

Y/N placed a calming hand on his cheek, their eyes filled with reassurance. "Absolutely," they whispered softly. "I wanted this evening to be special for us both, and I'm glad you're open to it."

Spencer's eyes widened with a mix of amusement and curiosity. "Just felt like it?" he echoed, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "That's an intriguingly vague answer."

Before Spencer could respond further, Y/N's smile widened. Without a word, they began placing a series of light, gentle kisses across his face—starting at his forehead, moving to his cheeks, and finally brushing his lips again. Each kiss was brief but filled with warmth, and each touch a tender declaration of affection.

Spencer's initial surprise gave way to laughter as he tried to keep up with Y/N's playful assault. His eyes sparkled with delight, and his cheeks flushed with a mixture of embarrassment and happiness. "Hey, that's not a fair answer!" he laughed between kisses.

Y/N paused long enough to meet his gaze, their eyes shimmering with mischief and deep affection. "Sometimes," they murmured softly, "showing affection can be more fun than explaining it." They sealed their words with another kiss.

Y/N's lips lingered on Spencer's for a moment, their warmth conveying more than words ever could. As they pulled back, Spencer's face lit up with a mixture of amusement and adoration. The room felt smaller, warmer, as if it were holding its breath in the presence of their love.
