You followed the muscular, dark-skinned man around. You were starting at the BAU and were going to be helping someone named Garcia with the technological stuff. But first this man, whose name was Morgan you thought, was having you meet the rest of the team. He led you to an office, where people were milling around.

"This is Emily Prentiss." Morgan said gesturing at a pretty woman with black hair. You waved shyly. You were terribly shy around new people, and weren't a huge fan of physical contact.

"Good to meet you Agent __l/n__." Prentiss said with a smile. Then Morgan pointed at a tall man with dark hair on the other side of the room.

"That's Aaron Hotchner, I suppose you'll meet him later." Morgan said with a small chuckle.

"Hi, I'm Jennifer, but you can call me JJ." said a very pretty blonde woman who was sitting at a desk. You smiled and waved at her.

"I'll take you to meet Garcia now, as I guess Pretty Boy is somewhere else." You looked at Morgan in confusion. He chuckled and corrected himself. "Dr. Spencer Reid. Maybe he's with Garcia." You nodded and followed him out of the room. He led you to a room with a few computers in it and a few large computer screens.

"This, is my baby girl, Penelope Garcia." Morgan said gesturing at a woman with bright red hair who was sitting at a desk.

"Who is this, sweet chocolate thunder?" she asked while looking at you. You raised an eyebrow at the 'sweet chocolate thunder' part. You'd never had a steady boyfriend before, you liked guys who didn't like you back, and a couple guys asked you out, but you just didn't 'click'. You thought that those two had great chemistry, and you'd only known them for a few minutes.

"Are you two?" You asked while gesturing at the two of them. They both laughed and you blushed, embarrassed for asking.

"No." Garcia said with a shake of her head. Morgan just stood there, still laughing softly.  It was at that moment that the most attractive man you had ever seen walked in the room through a door that you hadn't noticed. He had brown hair that hung down slightly on his forehead. He had gorgeous brown eyes and was wearing a red sweater. Under the sweater was a green and white plaid shirt, with a black tie. He was wearing dark jeans and black Converse, like you yourself were wearing.

"Hey Garcia did you-" the man cut himself off when he saw you. His brown orbs met __e/c__ ones. You stared at him for a few moments before you broke his gaze and looked at the ground instead.

"Hi. I'm Dr. Spencer Reid." the man said as he approached you. You looked up at him. He held out a hand and you reached your hand out to take it. The minute your fingers touched, you felt sparks. You looked at him to see if he felt it too, but you couldn't tell.

The man then turned to Garcia, got whatever it was he needed, and left the room without a backwards glance. Morgan left shortly after as well, after introducing you to Garcia. You took in her outfit and smiled. She was wearing a blue flower clip in her hair, which matched her bright blue sweater. She had a yellow tank top on under a black dress with a black and yellow necklace. Her glasses were blue and green; so different from your own black ones.

"You two had a moment!" she squealed excitedly at you.

"Who?" You asked as you had been lost in your thoughts.

"You and Spencer! Don't tell me you didn't see the way he looked at you?" she asked incredulously. You shrugged. You didn't know his regular expression, so you couldn't tell if he had looked at you any differently. She sighed, dropped the subject, and you two got to work.

~A Year Later~

You had been working at the BAU for a year now, and had become best friends with Garcia. You had also fallen hopelessly in love with a certain doctor. He constantly invaded your thoughts; it probably didn't help that you two hung out a lot outside of work. You had a lot of the same interests, and had become really close friends, which was what was keeping you from telling him how you felt. You wanted to, oh how you wanted to. Garcia wanted you to, even Morgan wanted you to. Everyone knew that you liked him, except maybe himself. But you weren't entirely sure about that. He was a literal genius, and you assumed he knew, just didn't feel the same way.

You sighed and started putting your few belongings back in your purse. You were just about ready to go home; all the others had left. Or, you thought so until you felt a pair of hands on your face, under your glasses. Your immediate reaction was to struggle and you tried, but the person didn't let you go. Instead, they turned you around and pressed their lips gently to yours. No rapist or murderer would kiss you that gently and you knew exactly who it was. All too soon, Spencer retracted his lips from yours and looked at you apologetically. As if he thought you didn't like him too.

"_-_y/n__, I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that." Reid said quietly before turning around and walking away.

"Reid! Where are you going?" You called out to him. He turned around and you quickly closed the distance between the two of you. You pressed your lips to his and you felt those same sparks from the first time you touched him. He gently kissed you back and you wrapped your arms around his neck and ran your fingers through his hair. Spencer's arms hesitantly went around your waist. After a few moments, you had to break apart to breathe. You rested your forehead against his and smiled. You couldn't believe he liked you back! You had hoped that maybe, maybe he liked you. But you didn't think it was that likely.

"__y/n__," Reid said hesitantly.

"Hmm?" You said while moving your face so you could look into his eyes. He looked away.

"I-I love you..." He finished softly. You cupped his cheek and turned it so you could see his eyes.

"I love you too, Spence." You saw his eyes widen slightly, and you gently kissed him once more.

Author's Note: I do not own Criminal Minds or any of its characters. All rights go to their rightful owners. You belong to the incredibly attractive Dr. Spencer Reid. So be happy. xD Sorry if characters are out of character or ideas are similar to other characters. And yes, it's a reader insert but the character has glasses, because I have glasses and the person I'm writing this for has glasses, so I made them have glasses. Hopefully you liked this!
