The Case (ReidxReader)

Warning(s): Blood, gun shots

Summary: Spencer gets hurt during a case

---

"Everybody in position?" Agent Hotchner asks his team, fellow officers and SWAT. They were in the middle of a case where a 3 women in their 20s, all identical appearance features, had been murdered and the clues leading up to the unsubs led them to an abandoned warehouse in Manhattan, New York. "Yes sir, let us know when you're ready." One of the SWAT officers tells him. 

You, Spencer, Emily, Hotch and Derek went into the seemingly quiet building while Rossi and JJ stayed behind to deal with the press. It was dark, a little slippery, and thankfully, you hadn't found blood so it must have rained recently. "Alright, guys, everybody partner up with SWAT and we'll split up," Agent Hotchner orders the team in a hushed voice, and everyone nodded in understanding. You couldn't help but felt disappointed when your boss orders everyone to team up with SWAT. If anything, you wanted to be with your boyfriend, Spencer. The two of you had been seeing each other for a while under discretion. 

Nobody in the team knew, unless they did but chose not to confront you for it, but if that had been the case, Agent Hotchner would have said something to you and Spencer. You were conflicted about it, but in this moment, it didn't matter. You had 2 unsubs to catch. 

"Which way, agent?" The SWAT member you were assigned to stay with, asks you as you took a deep breath, looking down an empty hallway. "Down here." You tell them as you drew your gun out and began to go down the hallway with the SWAT member, very discreetly. 

After a bunch of dead ends, you opted to go back to the area where you first were, and all of a sudden, you hear gun shots. "AGENT DOWN!" You hear Derek yell out as more gun shots were heard. You thought the absolutely worst at that very moment, thinking it had all come down to this. It couldn't be, could it? At this point, you didn't care what rules you were about to break as you made a dash towards the chaos. On the other side of the building, you could hear more and more of agents yelling, but all you could think about was who was down. 

"Wait, wait, agent Y/L/N, stay back." You heard Agent Hotchner tell you but you drowned out his voice as you looked at the scene in front of you. 2 unsubs shot to death, blood pouring out of their heads from hitting their heads on the ground, and your boyfriend on the ground with blood coming out of his mouth. "SPENCER, NO!" You cried out, rushing to his side. He coughed and looked up at you, smiling weakly, "Hi."

"Don't die, stay with me, please." You sob, and Derek looked between the two of you, "Help is coming, Y/n. The medics are here, stay back." He told you, holding you back so that the medics could do their jobs. Tears were streaming down your face. Had you partnered up with Spencer, this wouldn't have happened. 

"How long?" Derek asks you as the medics placed Spencer on the gurney. "What?" You sniffed, and as they took Spencer away, Derek stepped in front of you to prevent you from following them. "How long have you and Spencer been together?"

You look at him in surprise, "I-I don't know what you're-what you're talking about."

"Y/n, the team has been doing this a long time. We all know. You may think you have been secretive about it, but you guys suck at hiding it. So, how long?" He asks as Agent Hotchner approached you, along with Emily. 

"8 months." You sigh, wiping your tears. "Just...I need to know if he's going to be okay." 

"He's going to be alright. And, Y/n, we're going to talk about this when we get back." Agent Hotchner replied, giving you a knowing look before walking away. You chuckled dryly, "I might as well kiss my job goodbye...so will Spencer."

"Hotch isn't that strict. I mean, he is, but he's not. He knows damn well if you and Spencer were off the team, it'd be the worst thing to happen, period. The most you'll get is a lecture, but who knows, he might come around." Emily assured you as you all began to walk back. You knew Emily was right. Hotch was a fair man who's had his fair share of drama in his life and he wouldn't go as far as firing you and Spencer. No matter what the verdict, you were sticking to your guns either way. 

Spencer ended up being okay, and you were definitely relieved, as was the rest of the team. Emily was right. Hotch did lecture you, but he also didn't come between your relationship with Spencer, and he gave you his blessing (as if you needed it regardless) as long as the relationship didn't affect the cases or workload. 

Spencer ended up leaving the hospital a few days later, and that night, you cuddled up to him on the couch. The director ended up giving the team the week off, which was so desperately needed from all sides. "How often is it that we get a week off from work?" You ask Spencer as he was picking a movie for you two to watch.

"Not often enough." He chuckled and winced a little, and you sighed. "Spence, the doctor told you to take it easy." 

"I know. It's kind of hard not to move." 

You placed your head on his shoulder as your hands intertwined. "I love you, Spencer."

"I love you too, Y/n."
