Two weeks passed since June meeting Hotch and Garcia. Her new bestie. Spencer had been away all week for a case along the west coast. It was fine though since she had been at rehearsals for the premiere of the nutcracker. He still called and compared her to a bear when she growled at him for waking her up.
On the plus side she got to try on her costumes while he was away.
"WHITE FOR GODS SAKE PUT DOWN THE PHONE" Frank yelled from the front row."WE OPEN TONIGHT ". He got angrier as opening night got closer.
With a sigh June put her phone back in her bag after texting Garcia that the could talk later.
" NOW BACK IN FORMATION , ALICE ARMS HIGHER YOUR NOT A T-REX"
And so it begins
****************************
"Arrgg man I am so happy this case is over" Morgan groaned , falling into the seat across from Spencer. "Home at last".
" technically we will be home in 4 hours 23 minutes depending on t-"
"OK pretty boy , we get it" Morgan interrupted. Smiling at his best friend. He could see Hotch shaking his head as he looked at the paperwork of the case. JJ and Prentiss were talking at the front of the plane while Rossi was taking a nap. Must be his old age.
"Soooo , anything new " Morgan pried trying to get information about what was going on with his friend. "Guy to guy ya know" he leaned in closer so the others wouldn't hear.
Spencer hummed in response. Already knowing where this was going thanks to Hotch. Not even looking up from his phone. He could feel his blood pressure rise as he started getting angry. "You can just ask ,Morgan"
Derek took a deep breath before asking "What's got you acting different. Is it a re-".
Reid stood up abruptly gaining everyone except Rossi's attention. Hotch smirked hiding his face with a file. " OK I'M ONLY SAYING THIS ONCE" Spencer started before taking a breath so that he wouldn't get fired." I got a girlfriend not a needle in my arm" before sitting back down in his chair. It was quiet for a second before the squeals started , making him flinch at the noise.
Emily and JJ swarmed around him nearly knocking him over as Derek clapped a hand on his shoulder "my man".
JJ snatched his phone out of his hand and squealed. " is this her". Emily and Derek looked over her shoulder to see as Spencer tried to snatch his phone back.
"Give it"
"Nope" said Derek snatching the phone from JJ."is this her phone number ".
Spencer lurched over the table and grabbed his friends wrist to try and stop him as soon as he heard the phone ring.
" GIVE IT BACK"
Finally Hotch channeled his inner dad and told the children to stop fighting. Saving poor baby Reid.
And grandpa Rossi kept sleeping through it all.
Like a boss
*******************************
"So anyone have any plans" Derek Morgan asked teasing Spencer. Like he did the whole plane ride.
"I don't know about you kids but I've got tickets to the ballet" Rossi said walking to his car. Reid gulped at the news.
"Really. What on" Reid asked hoping it wasn't Junes show"
"The nutcracker" Rossi answered.
Shit
"Goodnight "
***********************************
Rossi stood up to clap at the end of the beautiful performance like the rest of the audience. He bought VIP tickets so he could go backstage and meet the cast.
He sat at the bar for half an hour before a brunette woman slammed her bag on the counter and sat beside him and ordered a water.
"You played Clara" Rossi stated looking at the woman. "It was a great show".
"Thanks. I'm June by the way" June said looking through her bag for her phone after missing Spencer's call.
Rossi looked at the woman. Analyzing every detail. Especially the red sweater that looked very similar to Reid's. "Something wrong".
" no, no" June reassured him with a wave of her hand."I just missed a call from my boyfriend is all".
"Nice guy" he asked trying to be friendly.
"Great guy" June smiled before looking over her shoulder at the director calling her over. "Sorry I'll be right back". She left her phone on the counter before walking away.
Rossi hummed before drinking more of his scotch. He was about to order another until June's phone rang beside him. He looked over at her before picking it up. Intending to give it to her but froze when he saw the caller ID.
Spencer Reid.
Damn the kid had good taste.
