Criminal Minds Imagines & Oneshots

Long Time, No See.

This is my first criminal minds request and it's for MrsSpock If you have a request feel free to PM me or leave a comment.

     I take a deep breath as I walk into the office building of the Behavioral Analysis Unit in Quantico.
"Agent Hotchner, I'm pleased to be here." I greet him and the tall man gives me a firm and shake and slight smile. "We're pleased to have you. We don't have a case at the moment, so we're just going to get your desk set up and have you meet the rest of the team." He tells me as I walk into the bullpen.
"Morning everyone, this here is Agent (L/N)." He introduces me and I give a confident smile. "You guys can call me Leah." I say and they all give friendly nods.
     A blonde women with a green dress and fluffy hair pin eagerly shakes my hand and introduces herself as Penelope Garcia, her greeting is followed a tall, dark skinned man who introduces himself as Derek Morgan. I meet agents Rossi, Prentiss and Jarreau and Penelope starts to talk to me about decorating my desk. A few minutes in, a younger man walks in, he was disheveled and still trying to get his things together. "Sorry I'm late." He says and my heart skips a beat. I recognize that voice. Immediately my mind thinks back to where I first heard it.

"Today we are welcoming a new member to our group." The support group leader, Anna says in a soft, gentle tone. He is a skinny boy, with light brown hair long enough to tuck behind his ears. He is wearing brown slacks and a brown and beige plaid collared shirt. He keeps one hand in his pocket as he awkwardly introduces himself, his body swaying slightly "Hi everybody, I'm Spencer Reid." He says and sits next to me. "Spencer, so nice of you to join us, when your ready, would you tell the group why you're here?" Anna asks cautiously. He takes a deep breath and rubs the crook of his arm. "Um I've had a problem with Dilaudid." He clears his throat and continues "I didn't want to take it but I-i was forced, but when I had the chance to take it, for myself , I did." I'm sitting and twisting my bracelets around my wrists, it was just my habit, we make eye contact and he looks down at my bracelets, which I then stop twisting. I look back at him and put a friendly hand on his knee "it gets better." I say quietly and he gives me a sad smile.

I snap back into reality when he introduces himself with a smile that makes my heart melt. "I'm Doctor Spencer Rei- have we met before." He asks, giving me a firm handshake. I know I've definitely met him but I just say "I don't think so." Smiling.
"Wow boy-Genius I've never known you to forget a face." Morgan says.
"An Eidetic memory is the ability to vividly recall images from memory after only a few instances of exposure." He states matter-of-factly.
Which makes me giggle.
"I see why he calls you boy-genius."

After being at the BAU for a couple of months I realized that the only time that I'd heard Spencer speak around me was when I first joined the team. but as a few more weeks passed , he eventually warmed up to me. Which was perfect timing too, since Strauss thought that I'd be good for the team to have our desks rearranged.

"Looks like we're desk neighbors now Leah." He says although I can't detect any type of emotion.
"Well I've got paper work to do." Morgan says waking away and Penelope follows informing us that she's also got digital copies of said paperwork to make.
Being in the presence of Spencer, knowing what I know about him, and what he knows about me even though he doesn't remember, and that fact that he was extremely adorable made me nervous.
"You know, I never got around to asking you. Where are you from?" He asks sitting at his desk across from mine. I turn and face him to answer "I'm actually from Vegas."
"No way, me too." He tells me excitedly apparently forgetting what's been making him act weird around me. I laugh at his adorableness once again. "Did you know that the Las Vegas strip is the brightest place on Earth when viewed from outer space, and the Luxor Las Vegas Sphinx is higher than the original in Giza?" He continues. My smile grows wider. "You really do learn something new everyday."
We continue to talk about Vegas and unknowingly, I start to twist my bracelets again. He looks at my wrist and the bracelets, and then at me, which prompts my heart to start beating faster. I see the look of realization hit his face as fear hits mine. "Leah, you were at a support group meeting for substance abuse weren't you? I nod. I knew I couldn't deny being there. "Yeah, I um, I." He stops me. "It's okay, so was I, that's where I remembered you from, I just couldn't place my finger on it." I am immediately relieved.
He scratches his head nervously "I guess thats why I haven't really warmed up to you like the rest of the team has. No one knew that I went." He looks down.
"It's okay, I didn't tell anyone either." I say
"I'm sorry that I lied, I just didn't know how to mention that...in casual conversation." I chuckle. He smiles faintly. "I don't see how you could." He smiles back.
"Guys we have a case, wheels up in 30." He hear Hotch say.
"Sit next to me on the jet?" He asks
"Sure" I say
