My Partner Against Crime

Chapter 18

Spencer hurries over to me.

"You kissed him?" He stands stiff.

"He kissed me, which, I don't know about you but I did not see that one coming." He frowns.

"Oh c'mon, don't get mopey, next time I'll let you make out with the unsub." He shakes his head.

"I'm going to check on Morgan."

I watch as Spencer walks toward, and then past Morgan.

I wish I knew what goes on in his head, he never really tells me things. I watch him walk alone down the sidewalk. So much has happened between us lately, I know I can't just let him be stuck with his thoughts.

I jog over to Spencer who's far ahead of me.

"Spencer!" He slows and turns around, facing me. I catch up to him and he starts walking again.

"Are you okay? I really don't want to keep things from each other. I'm tired of doing that, aren't you?" He doesn't bother looking at me.

"I'm not exactly hiding anything from you, I'm just keeping to myself." His eyes are focused on his moving feet.

"Will you please tell me what's going on?" He pulls out car keys and stops next to a black suburban.

"You know it's ironic, how you're so tired about hiding things from each other. You're distancing yourself from me, like you're trying not to spill a secret. I guess I'm just trying to figure out what it is."

"What secret? You think I'm keeping stuff from you?" He shrugs.

"I'm going to go back to the hotel." He says, and gets into the car. My jaw nearly drops as I watch him drive away. What the hell?

I stay in the same spot for a few minutes, for some reason expecting him to come back, but he doesn't.

I walk back down the sidewalk into the commotion.

"Where'd you go? We thought something happened to you." Morgan walks towards me.

"I was just talking to Spencer, he went back to the hotel." I look past Morgan at the scene, cops surround the outside of the Aquarium, and the rest of the team stood around talking.

"I think we're going to head back soon, you can ride with me." He playfully shoves my shoulder.

"Thanks, do I get to bunk with you too?" He laughs.

"What're you having boy trouble?" I lay my head against his shoulder.

"Something like that." The rest of the team walks towards us.

"I'm going to go down to the station, the rest of you go ahead and go back to the hotel." Hotch says, and walks in the other direction.

"Alright, let's get out of here." We walk to the car and get in. I look over at Morgan's Aquarium uniform. I want to make fun of him for his goofy look, but unfortunately we're twinning.

Once we get back to the hotel I'm tempted to get my own room. Spencer is in a mood, and I'm afraid to know what's causing it.

I slide my key opening my room door. Spencer's sitting up in bed with his head back against the headboard.

He glances at me without moving.

"Hey." I slip my shoes off and open my suitcase, pulling out an outfit to get me out of this uniform. I quickly change, then toss the uniform on the ground, I doubt anyones going to want that back.

"What's up with you?" I sit next to him on the bed. Finally he acknowledges me and moves to face me.

"Nothing's up." I frown at him.
