Spencer Reid imagines.

Asshole.

This is inspired by that one scene in The Fundamentals of Caring. i just think is so cute and it fits perfectly with spencer.

It has been 3 weeks. Spencer just didn't have the courage to ask you out and it was driving him nuts. He was a profiler but you were just so...different.

You were currently playing poker with him and, as per usual, he won.

"Sometimes i forget you're from vegas" you said with a sigh giving him all your cookies.

"Well i'm also a genius and i did warn you, you're just stubborn" he said laughing at your defeated face.

"Asshole." you scoffed.

"I-i'm sorry i didn't mean it like that." he panicked. he didn't want you to take it the wrong way and stop talking to him.

"It's okay, i kinda have a thing for assholes." you said looking at the window.

What did that mean? did it even mean anything or did you just said it?. Spencer was even more confused now and he couldn't help himself from thinking that maybe you had feelings for him too. and that thrilled him, if he asked Derek for help maybe you'd say yes.

"I can't do it".

Spencer and Derek were sitting in the couch of his hotel room. After nearly an hour of him rambling about how much he liked you to Derek (something he already knew, as well as the rest of the team) he asked if he could give him some advice.

"Why not? is not that hard. just go up to her and ask her, she'll say yes i promise" Derek was enjoying watching spencer freak out. he already knew you liked him, but he decided to have a little fun.

"And what if she says no? i mean i'm awkwardly shy and she's the complete opposite"

"come on kid, the worst thing that could happen is she saying no, and then you can move on. but i'm pretty sure she's into you"
Derek didn't really know how to help spencer, he always had luck in that aspect.

"Maybe you could help me? i mean..."Spencer was interrupted by the knock on his door, and after a couple of seconds you entered.

"Hey, do you guys wanna go grab something to eat? i'm starving!" You said with a groan.

"sure, hotness! where's the rest of the team?" Derek asked.

"They said they were too tired and Penelope already passed out. So? you ready to go?"

Spencer turned to look at Derek with a pleading look on his face. after a few seconds Derek sighed and turned to look at you. The things he did for his friend.

"on other thought i'm pretty tired too, i think i'm gonna catch on some sleep. but you and pretty boy can go, right Spencer?"

"Um..i-i um yeah, sure"

You stared at the two of them and suddenly, you left out a small chuckle that suddenly turned into a loud laugh.
Derek and Spencer didn't know why were you laughing and looked at each other with questioning looks.

"Come on, how obvious is this?" you asked still laughing.

"N-no, he's right it's been a long day" Spencer tried his best to look credible. but his panicked eyes gave him away.

"Are you asking me on a date?" you asked looking at him with a serious face.

Spencer froze and after a few seconds, he gulped loudly. "Y-yes i am" his eyes were glued to yours as he waited you so say something.

"Pick me up next door when you're ready" You said with a poker face and left the room.

Spencer let out a shaky sigh and looked over to Derek.

"Dude! that was the most badass thing i've seen in my life, my man! come on, give me five!" Derek said raising his hand in front of the doctor.

"i-i don't really know how that goes" He said shaking his head.

"come on, high five, don't leave me hanging".

Spencer looked at Derek's hand, grabbed it and shook it. They stared at each other and Derek sighed.

"Yeah, that was terrible, let's never do that again"

-------

Spencer was outside your door, debating with himself if he should knock the door or go back to his room and think of an excuse so he wouldn't have to go.

After a few minutes he knocked and you got out wearing a pair of black jeans and a white blouse. you looked beautiful.

you turned around and sighed when you saw the rose on spencer's hand. "I told you i only date assholes"

"You did, and i'm not an asshole. and since you want an asshole not being an asshole makes me more of an asshole than the assholes that you normally date because they're giving you exactly what you want and i'm not....which makes me an asshole." he rambled and after he finished you stared at him with a frown.

"I can't believe i got that, let's go, genius boy" you sighed trying to hide the smile creeping on your face as you started to walk to the restaurant.

Yeah, you only dated assholes, but maybe he could be an exception.
