Proper Name (S.R)

*Y/N POV*

What can I say? I'm a sucker for cash... easy money is my best friend. So, when Derek Morgan asked me to mess with my boyfriend, I agreed.

"Hey, Y/L/N" "Sup', Morgan?" "I have a job for you.." "Is there money involved?" "Always." "How much we talkin?" "Mmh.. $30?" "Maybe.. What's  the task?" "I want to to prank pretty boy. Only call him Spencer/Reid all day at work tomorrow." "Ohh that's meannn" "It's just a little harmless prank Y/NNNN... I'll bump it up to $45" "60" "45" "75" "50" "80" "60" "Deal. Pleasure doing business with you" I said shaking my friend and colleague's hand. "You're a haterrr" "You know I'm awesome!"

The next day when I got to work, Derek was walking in too. "We still on for today?" "Yep. Just be ready for him to get you back" I winked at him and walked ahead as he stopped to think about the inevitable payback from the boy genius.

Just like I do everyday when I step out the elevator, I sing the good morning riff from the Lorax movie. I'm greeted by my boyfriend at my desk, "Good morning Y/N/N, how'd you sleep?" "Not too bad, Spencer, how about you?"

*Third person POV*

You seemed too jolly to be calling him just plain old 'Spencer'. He let it slide, just this once. Later on, you were doing paper work and ran out of staples. "Crap. Reid?" You called out looking up and his eyes darted straight to you, "Can I have some staples, please?" "Sssure..." he handed you a set of staples so you could put your packet back together after you broke it down. Derek watched the interaction with a cheeky grin on his face.

*Reid's POV*

Y/N started out he morning calling me 'Spencer' and now she's calling me 'Reid'. Is she mad at me or something? She doesn't seem mad... but she never calls me by my proper name. It's always 'Babe', 'Spence', or 'Spencie' at work. Even when Strauss is around. I'm going to get to the bottom of this.

"Y/N, can I talk to you? Alone?"

*Your POV*

Derek better get me my money as soon as this shift is over mannn or imma be charging interest.

I gave Morgan my 'Help me' eyes and he lifted up his hands in a way that said 'No can do'.

"Sure, Spencer" I followed him to the break room which was currently empty. "What's going on with you, babe?" "What are you talking about, Spencer?" I acted lost. "That! What's that for??" "I'm just calling you by your name, Spencer. It's no big deal." "Yeah well except it is! It's a very big deal! Colossal even! Y/N Y/M/N(s) Y/L/N only calls me 'Spencer' and 'Reid' when she's upset with me! Not in normal conversations!" "Well maybe Y/N Y/M/N Y/L/N wanted to change things up" I countered, "Well last time I checked you hate change unless it's a dime" it's true. I do hate change. And dimes are my favorite coin.

"Come on, Reid. Just let it go..." "Since when do I ever 'just let it go'?" "Since now" I don't have much of an argument without coming clean and I can't do that yet. We still have three hours of work left. So, I turned around to leave the break room but he grabbed me by my waist, "Spencer! What are you doing?", "You're not going anywhere until you tell me what's going on. I can do this all day." "Aweee you remembered the quoteeee" you acknowledged is Captain America reference. "Tell me." "Ughhh" "Y/N.." "It's all Morgan's fault!" I blurted out, "He bribed me to only use your proper name all today today at work!" "How much was he gonna give you?" "Sixty bucks..." gears turned in his head, "You know what? Keep it going. But I want my cut of the sixty." "Mmmh you get 20 dollars.." "And you have to cook for me tonight" "I was doing that anyway" I reminded him.

"Can I go back nooow? I gotta loads of work to do" "Give me a kiss first" "Sure, Spencer" "Derek's not even around right noooow"
