You sigh as the rest of the team packs up, and you pull more report papers from your desk.

"Are you sure you don't want to go home (y/n)? The paperwork can wait, we've been gone for a while, you should really go home and rest." Hotch says to you.

"I'm fine, really I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway because I slept on the jet." You say in a dismissive tone, in reality you just wanted everyone to go home so you could do your papers in peace. You always did paperwork right after a case to postpone your going home and being reminded once more that you are painfully single. Hotch picks up on your mood and turns to Reid who is also staying late to do paperwork.

"How about you Reid?" He asks.

"No I'm fine" Reid replies, already nose deep in papers.

"Alright well, we're going home. Goodnight." Hotch says.

"Have fun you two." Rossi says as he walks to the elevator.

"Not too much fun." Morgan says, winking at Reid.

In a few moments, everyone is gone and it's just you, Reid, and the sounds of your two pens as you scribbled down reports. This quite common actually, ever since you've joined the BAU it has been just you and Reid after a case staying late to file papers. On a few occasions some of the rest of the team would stay late as well, but they'd always end up leaving much before you and Reid left.

After a while you can't tell how long you've been doing papers and your eyelids begin to feel heavy, but you ignore it and continue to write. Some more time passes and your eyes begin to feel more and more heavy. Finally you get up from your seat and walk into the conference room to retrieve your speaker that you keep there.

You had left it there on your first day assuming you would be the only one to stay late after the case, only to find yourself accompanied by Dr. Spencer Reid. After a few weeks of forgetting to take it home, you gave up on trying to remember it and just hid in the conference room if for some reason you needed it.

So far you haven't used it but for some reason, whether it was this particularly traumatic case, or the fact that the BAU was out off coffee 'till tomorrow,tonight seems like the perfect night to pull it out. You grab your grey speaker from the cabinet and make your way back to your desk, looking at Reid as you pass him.

He seems unfazed by your movements and is shuffling through some papers at the moment. Within the few moments that you glanced at him you noticed yet again how attractive he was. His light brown hair is ruffled, as it often is, and is tucked behind his ears, his physique is slender and toned under his cardigan, and his eyes are a light hazel. For many months you have longed to be swept up in his long arms, and gaze into his eyes and say "I love you." However you had resisted the urge to hit on him on the first day and have since kept yourself from flirting with him through out your 2 year career in the BAU. You finally reach your desk and fish your phone out from your coat pocket.

"What cha' doin'?" Reid asks, taking you by surprise. You whip your head up to see him comfortably resting his arms on the divider separating you and JJ's desk, he had moved from his desk to right in front of yours without you noticing.

You type in you pass code to your phone

1-8-5-9-4

"I'm tired and you are too but that's never stopped us from going home, however, we're out of coffee 'till tomorrow so I'm going to put on some music to keep us somewhat awake." You explain, not even bothering to look up at him.

"Who said anything about me being tired?" Reid replies.

"I did" You say. "Any requests?" You look up at him, and lean a little closer.

"Actually-"

"No classical." you say, cutting him off.

"Never mind." He says sitting back down at his desk.

"Okay" You say as you open Pandora and play the "Plain White T's" station.

Immediately "Hey There Delilah" begins to play from your speaker and you place your phone on your desk next to the speaker and go back to your seemingly endless stack of paperwork. For a moment you think that you can hear Reid humming along. Later, you are still unaware of how fast time is passing and make a mental note to be more aware of the time. As you zone back in you hear an unfamiliar tune begin to grace your speaker. It sounds like a old fashioned swing beat and a man says

Ladies and Gentlemen we've got a special treat for tonight

I'm gonna call my friend Olly up here to sing to you ladies
Olly!
Yeah!
Let's go man
Okay 

The music picks up as a man sings

  My name is Olly nice to meet you can I tell you baby
Look around there's a whole lot of pretty ladies

You turn your head to check who's song this is, only to see Reid smiling at you with an outstretched arm.

"Reid I can't dance." you lie, you used to take swing dance classes at your local YMCA, and you were actually pretty good at it.

"I know you're lying (y/n), and I know you not just going to leave me to dance all on my own. Right?" he extends his hand closer to you with the last part.

You sigh and take his hand standing up, only to be spun by Reid as he pulls your other hand into his and spins you both around to the open space in the middle of the floor. You laugh as you both turn and move your feet to the music

  I just wanna, oh baby
I just want you to dance with me tonight
So come on, oh baby
I just want you to dance with me tonight

You look at Reid as he spins you around with ease. He grabs your arms and crosses them as he pulls you against him then twirls you back out again like a pro. It was kinda weird, Reid didn't look like the swing dancing type, but he was dancing better then your old dance instructor.

"Spencer!" you squeal with delight, as you both spin and dance, "How did you learn to dance like this?"

"My Mother taught me!" he says, laughing, as he pulls you close to him once more."How about you?"

"The YMCA!" you say gleefully.

When I saw you there, sitting all alone in the dark acting like you didn't have a care
I knew right then, you'd be mine, we'd be dancing the whole damn night, like
Oh baby, I just want you to dance with me tonight
So come on, oh baby
I just want you to dance with me tonight

You giggle like mad as he begins to spin you over and over

Break it down now, shake it like that, now bring it all back
To dance with me tonight
One more time, one more time, come on now
Do your thing, everybody sing 

He stops you and turns your back to him, then grabs one of your hands and puts it on your hip and keeps your other hand in his far from your body and you both do some fancy stepping

I just want you to dance with me tonight

Spencer spins you one last time and then dips you, matching the last note perfectly.

You both pant as you gaze into each others eyes.

"Spencer" you say through heavy breathing, still being held up by him," That was..."

"Amazing" he says beaming like a madman.
