Spencer Reid/Matthew Gray Gubler One Shots

Kisses Mean Something - Spencer Reid

I tore off a small bit of paper. I rolled it between my fingers, creating a small ball. I eyed my target and placed the small ball into the end of the straw that I had hanging between my lips. Grasping the straw between my fingers, I drew in a deep breath and aimed. The little ball of paper hit my target dead on and I quickly removed the straw, a smile instantly appearing on my face.

My target rubbed the back of his head before turning around and eyeing me suspiciously. "Will you knock that off?" He tried to sound mean.

I pulled my lips between my teeth, trying desperately to keep the laughter at bay. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I shrugged my shoulders and worked on appearing innocent.

"You may be a great profiler but you are a lousy actress Cass." Spencer swiveled his chair back around, his back to me once again.

I picked up the sheet of paper again and quietly ripped off another tiny piece. Balling it up again between my fingers, I inserted it into the end of the straw. Taking aim, I hit Spencer in the back of the head once more. This time I didn't even bother suppressing the laughter and neither did the audience that had built up behind me.

Spencer jumped out of his chair and charged at me. I yelped and took off running, dodging Derek and JJ. My legs were no match for Spencer's longer ones and he quickly caught me, his arms wrapping around my waist to slow me down.

"No Reid, I will not lose," I held the straw out in front of me.

His long fingers grabbed at my wrists and he pulled towards our bodies.

"Not fair! Your arms are so much longer," I tried to spin around.

"I will let go until you promise to stop spitting things at me."

Laughter echoed from across the room, "You might just want to give up there Cassie. I don't think that Pretty Boy is going to be letting up anytime soon." Derek interjected.

"Shut up Derek, you aren't helping, but if you want to help, will you get him off me." I tried again to squirm out of Spencer's arms but his fingers were locked tight.

"You're on your own there Sugar," Derek's voice started to fade, indicating that he was exiting the room.

I stopped struggling for a moment, an idea quickly forming in my head.

"Hey Reid," The grasp on my wrist loosened. I jumped on my moment, spinning around and planting a kiss on his cheek, catching him completely by surprise.

He let go and I ducked out of his arms, "Never mess with me Reid, I will best you every time."

I ran from the office, not noticing as Reid placed a hand on his cheek, a slow smiling forming on his lips.

The next morning I was in the break room, making coffee, when Spencer walked in. I looked up at him and smiled, "Good morning sunshine."

He glanced up at me, before looking back down at the ground, "Hi."

"Hi...that's all I get?" I stopped what I was doing and stepped closer to him.

All he did was nod his head, still not looking up from the ground.

"Spencer, are you okay?" I was a bit worried about my normally chatty friend. "You were fine yesterday when I left."

"Why did you kiss me?" His eyes met mine for the first time since entering the room.

The question threw me, "Kiss you? Oh...I kissed your cheek so that I could escape, so I could win."

"Oh," He breathed. He stepped around me.
