June practically ran to Spencer's apartment after he texted her he was back. She must have looked like a mad woman running around DC in a dress that could easily be called a wedding dress.
The second Spencer opened the door she took his breath away. Standing there smiling up at him in a beautiful white dress.

He couldn't even say anything before she pulled him into a hug and kissed him.
"Your back. I missed you so much. Nobody was telling me statistics or facts or small people jokes" June rambled refusing to let go of him.
Spencer laughed pulling her closer before closing the apartment door. "I missed you too. You look beautiful by the way".
" Thank you" June laughed as he dragged her down to sit on his lap on the sofa. She pulled her dress up to her knees to kick off her shoes at last.
"So I have news" Spencer said letting her get up from the couch and following her to the bedroom." My friends finally know about you".
Junes turned to look at him from the closet with a smirk. Throwing her pajamas on the bed before moving to stand between his legs and tugging his tie. "How did that happen" she teased playfully , moving to kiss the side of his head.
Spencer gulped harshly. He had never mentioned his brief drug addiction to June in fear that she might leave. Scared it would change her opinion of him that she already had and give her a reason to leave. He grabbed her hips and gently moved her away from him. Spencer looked up at her sadly. Committing her face to memory , wanting to remember her like this , white dress with little white flowers in her hair. Beautiful. He savoured her touch thinking it would be the last. He took her hand in his before taking a deep breath."A-A couple of years ago I was taken by the unsub Tobias Hankel on a case"
June looked at him confused. Wondering how this was related to her previous question.
"I was kept and tortured for a few days before the team could find me" he continued , looking at the wall behind June to avoid looking at her. "H-he drugged me with diadalud and after his death I became addicted". He squeezed her hand tighter. " I got help after awhile. I've been sober for a good few years now".
Neither of them said anything. The tension in the room rising with every second making Spencer uncomfortable. He expected her to leave , curse his name and slam the door never to return. "Morgan asked me today if the reason I had been acting weird lately was a relapse. I got angry and finally just told the team about us" he finished quietly. He closed his eyes so that he wouldn't have to look at her. Letting go of her hand so that she could leave.
June looked at him sadly. Watching his stiff posture and she had an inkling that he was near tears. Finally coming to her senses she kneeled down in front of him , taking his face in her hand to look at him. His eyes still closed.
"Look at me" she said her eyes watering slightly. She watched as Spencer slowly opened his own watery eyes. Looking at her sadly. June smiled crookedly at him and ran a shaky hand gently through his hair. "I have never loved you more than I do in this moment. I probably should have said this months ago........I love you Spencer Reid. More than anything" she confessed wiped a tear from her eye.
"Y-you love me" Spencer said in shock. "You not gonna leave?" He looked up at her hopefully.
"Not a chance" June whispered back. Before she could blink Spencer crashed his lips onto hers. Kissing her passionately. Settling her on his lap , not once breaking the kiss. They broke apart for air and Spencer ran a hand up her side.
"I love you too" he finally said back. Watching the bright smile that appeared on her face. She leaned in close to his ear. "Care to help me out of this dress Dr. Reid. I'm serious this thing itches so much!" .
****************************
June snuggled closer to Spencer's side ,his arm tightening around her as she drew random patterns on his bare chest. He let out a sigh , relaxing. She looked up at him , his eyes closed and head leaned back against the headboard. She cherished moments like these , peaceful ,quiet. He had told her one of his darkest secrets. Her fingers stopped and she rested her hand over his heart.
It was only fair that he knew one of hers.
"I have a criminal record" she confessed looking up at his shocked face. He turned around on his side to look at her on the bed. Eyes silently begging for answers. "I punched a cop back in New Orleans when I was fifteen".
Spencer licked his lips , a nervous tick he had developed. He raised his hand to brush back a stray piece of hair from Junes face ,tucking it behind her ear. Resting his hand on her arm. "Why are you telling me this".
June looked up at him as if the answer was obvious. "Because you told me something personal about you". She took his hand off her arm to lace their fingers together , resting their joined hands on her chest. "Do you still love me after that?".
" mine was worse" Spencer joked trying to lighten the mood.
"Funny thing was I became friends with the cop afterwards" June said making Spencer let out a full blown laugh. Shaking and all. "Detective William LaMontagne senior. He was funny , actually laughed at me when I sassed his partner".
Spencer froze at the name of jj's dead father in law. "As in William Jr's father" he asked shocked.
"Yeah how'd you know" it was Junes turn to be confused.
