"Hey guys, so tomorrow is the pride parade, and I'm going to be there, obviously, but if uh, any of you happen to see me there, do not be shy. Say hi. Kiss me if ya want as long as you're not a total weirdo. I mean, if you do, ask me first," Spencer chuckles at the video camera, in which he was speaking to his followers on Instagram Live. "I'm excited for this event. I feel like I hardly get invited to things and just, like, be a part of something. I've got an eidetic memory and an IQ of 187, which might impress a lot of you. I, uh, could work for the FBI if I wanted but ya know, I chose to do this instead, because I feel like a lot of you get me. Nobody's ever really gotten me, but you guys do so I appreciate you. I'm going to read some of your comments now."
Spencer looked through some of the comments, some users thirsting for him while others just showed their support. He smiled, thanking mostly his supporters. Some thirsty comments seemed too thirsty. One comment in particular caught his eye. "How do you feel about older men?" He asks out loud, "Oh, good question mr.strict_dad. Uh, before I answer your question, answer mine really quick. Are you as strict as your username says you are?" He grins, before going on answering the user's question, "Nah, you don't have to answer that. To answer yours, I've, uh, never been with an older man. I've always been with guys my age. However, it really depends on your age. If you're like, 70, then I'm gonna have to pass. But if you're like, in your 40s, then maybe. I don't know. We'll see. If you come to the pride parade, we can talk about it, get to know each other. Who knows? Anyhoo, I'm gonna end the live here, so come see me at the parade and we can all chat about how great pride is. Alright, love you guys. Byee!" He ended the live right there and chuckled, turning his video chat off.
"About time you got off IG live. I swear, this is all you ever do." Spencer's friend, Emily, joked as she walked over to him. Spencer shrugged, "I love doing this for a living. I have over 150,000 followers and if I ever quit doing what I'm doing, then I'm not really accomplishing much."
"I'm not telling you to quit. I love how happy you get interacting with your followers. After you and Kade broke up, I didn't ever think you'd get back up on your feet again." Emily says as they sat on the curb outside his house. "Neither did any of my followers, but you know what, I decided not to give Kade the satisfaction of being miserable. If that was his plan all along, then it didn't work. I'm happier than ever."
"Good for you, Spence. JJ and I are coming with you to the parade." Emily told him, and he nodded. The more friends, the better.

"An older man? Spence, you're not really thinking about that, are you?" Jennifer Jareau, Spencer's friend and Emily's girlfriend, asks as they went to find a spot for the parade the next day. "Where did you get that from?" Spencer laughed, and JJ rolled her eyes, "I watched your live yesterday. I made a comment and asked the dude why he's being so creepy."
Spencer shook his head, "I'm sure it's nothing, JJ. Besides, if a really old guy tries to make a pass at me, I'll know who he is."
The music was blasting with pride music and the parade was just about to start. Spencer managed to make friends with those who follow him on IG who went to the parade, and some of those who made thirsty comments also tried to pick him up, which he easily rejected.
"Oh come on, sweetness. We can skip the parade and do anything we want." One gay guy says with a flirty smile. "I'll have to pass. Sorry. I do appreciate your support though." Spencer tells him as the man sighs in disappointment, walking off. Spencer turned back around and the parade finally started. Throughout, Spencer met up with a lot more of his followers, taking pictures and being silly. "You guys are the best, truly." He tells them, and then he felt someone touch his shoulder. He turned around, thinking it was either JJ or Emily, but he saw a handsome, older man with jet dark brown hair wearing a pride shirt and jeans.
"I was the one who asked you about older men," He tells Spencer in his ear, which gave him chills. "Oh, well, you, uh, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?" The man stifled a laugh, shaking his head, "Does it matter?"
"Kind of. If you're older than 50, I don't know if I'll be good with that." Spencer says nervously. He hoped this guy wasn't older than 50. He's too handsome to be that.
"Well, uh, what if I'm barely 50?" He asks with a sly smile. Spencer raised his eyebrow, "Uh, I guess that'd be okay. As long as you're not, like, 70 or anything."
The guy laughed, causing Spencer to rethink about who this man was. Was this really mr.strict_dad? "You do realize people age, right?" Spencer nodded, "Yeah I know. I was just saying. I didn't mean to offend you in any way."
"I'm not offended. You're cute. Can I take you out sometime? I work in D.C. but I live in Quantico."
Spencer looked at him in surprise. "Really? I live in Quantico too. What's your name?"
"Aaron Hotchner."
"Well, Aaron, it's nice to meet you. Did you come all this way just for the parade or just me?" Spencer smirked, and Aaron shrugged. "Maybe I came for the parade. Maybe it had a little to do with you too."
"Uh huh," Spencer chuckled and looked back at the parade, seeing all those involved being so happy while walking down the road with their balloons and anything else they use. "So, you didn't really answer my question." Aaron pointed out, and Spencer looked back at him. "What? Oh, about you taking me out? Well, I suppose that'd be okay. Do you work often?"
"I do, a lot actually. I'm an FBI agent working for the Behavioral Analysis Unit, and yesterday on your live, when you said you could be an FBI agent because of your eidetic memory and your IQ of 187, it made me smile because I can believe it. You'd actually be a great addition."
"Are you offering me a job?" Spencer asks, with a grin, and Aaron shook his head. "No, not unless you'd like me to make that happen, which I'm sure you won't considering you're a popular influencer for Instagram." "Well, that is a nice thought and I know I'd be a great addition, but for now, I think I'm going to stick to making my followers happy by being active constantly."
"That's actually good then, because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to date you or take you out or...kiss you for that matter." Aaron says, and Spencer turned around. "You want to kiss me, huh? I did offer that. Is this you asking me?"
"Yeah, I guess I am." Aaron smiled, pulling Spencer closer to him. Although this man was older than he normally goes for, he couldn't help but notice the attraction between them. It was there, and Spencer was excited about it. Sure, people will be skeptical about their age difference, but who cares? Spencer deserved to be happy, and so did Aaron, who he just met. "Well, I guess I'm saying yes then." He replied, and felt his heart racing as Aaron leaned in and pressed their lips together sweetly.
"Emily, is that the man who asked Spencer about how he felt about older guys?" JJ asks her girlfriend as they approached from a distance. "I don't know. I wasn't watching his live. I mean, I was, but I wasn't looking at the comments." Emily chuckled, and JJ began to march over to them. "JJ, leave them alone!" Emily called to her girlfriend.
JJ walked up just as Spencer and Aaron pulled away.
"Spence, this guy is like, 20 years older than you." She told him, and Spencer looked at her with a confused look. "I know. He's mr.strict_dad on IG."
"Wait, are you the girl who called me creepy?" Aaron asks her with a laugh. JJ scoffed, "You're preying on my friend here." "JJ, I am a full grown adult! I know what creepy is, and Aaron's not it. I understand your concern but you don't need to be. Aaron's a nice guy."
"JJ, he's not asking for your opinion or blessing. He just wants your support. Remember when Kade broke our Spencer's heart? You loved them together and when they ended things, we found out you were still in contact with Kade. When Spencer found out about it, he was pissed. You ever wondered why he never replied to your calls or texts for weeks?" Emily asks her, and JJ sighed loudly. "Alright, I get your point." She turned back to Spencer, "Look, I just want you to be happy and I'm sorry for staying in contact with Kade. I'll tell him I'm not going to be friends with him anymore."
Spencer shook his head, "Honestly, I'm not upset about it anymore. You can still talk to him, I don't care." JJ was surprised at this, "Really?"
"Yeah. I, uh, really want to see where things go with Aaron and I." Spencer smiled, and Aaron embraced him. "Me too." He says, pecking his lips. "Oh, I should go live with this. Is that okay?" Spencer asks him, and Aaron nodded. "Go for it."
Spencer pulled out his phone and went live.
"Hi guys, Spencer here at the parade. I met a lot of you today and that made me so happy. I met a certain follower who kind of just swept me off my feet, I mean, not literally, unless he wants to," Spencer grinned at Aaron who smiled, "Maybe later."
"Alright, well, this is Aaron, and uh, I think I like him, a lot. We talked, and uh, he kissed me and I kind of want him to do it again." He giggled, and Aaron obliged. He kissed Spencer, deepening the kiss for about 10 seconds before pulling away. "Wow, uh, have I mentioned he's a great kisser? Yeah," Spencer laughed, "Of course he's older than me, by a lot, but he's not old. He's really handsome for his age, and I'm excited to see where it goes." Aaron wrapped his arms around Spencer's waist as he watched the parade.
"Uh, anyway, I'm going to continue watching the parade and I'll be on IG live at my house later on and I'll answer your questions. Just wanted to give you guys an update. I'll see you guys later." Spencer went offline, and he pulled himself closer to Aaron's waist as the two of them continued watching the parade.
