Boy Meets Girl / Criminal Minds Fanfiction.

Lucky Ones

Spencer and Ryder continued to see each other when they could, between both their jobs. Spencer busy with cases and Ryder busy with her work, Photoshoots along with a few meetings and editing.

The last few times Spencer had seen Ryder he had opened up to her a bit more. He didn't go into detail with anything, he just told her he had gone through something bad a little while back and sometimes had trouble.

Trouble dealing with things and when he saw that kid killed in front of him he wasn't in the best of places. Although he hadn't told her that's what happened, he just said a case had ended badly.

It was hard for him, but easier than he'd thought it would be to talk about it. And although he didn't get into detail, Spencer felt much better after talking to Ryder. And he was eternally grateful that she still accepted him.

He hadn't realized how long he had been talking one night and ended up there passed midnight and Ryder had offered to let him stay so he wouldn't have to travel home so late. He was hesitant at first, he didn't want to impose or make her uncomfortable but she had insisted with that smile of her's and he couldn't resist.

So he stayed the night, sleeping soundly with his arms wrapped around Ryder. He would be lying if he said it wasn't the best nights sleep he's had in a long time.

Waking the next morning, Ryder rubbed her foggy eyes before looking up at Spencer's sleeping face. He was adorable when he was sleep, Ryder though as she carefully detangled herself from his arms without waking him up.

Sneaking out of her bedroom, Ryder quietly made her way down the hall and into the kitchen with the plan to make breakfast. Spencer had opened up to her last night and although he didn't use a lot of detail she was happy he was starting to trust her. It made her feel all warm inside.

She didn't have a coffee maker because Ryder never drank the stuff so she couldn't make him coffee but she knew she made killer pancakes. So collecting all the ingredients, Ryder started mixing everything up, grabbing some fresh blueberries from the fridge to put in her own.

"Morning." A groggy voice said from behind Ryder as she stirred the pancake batter causing her to turn to see Reid standing in front of the kitchen, hair tousled from sleep, his white undershirt wrinkled.

"Goodmorning." Ryder greeted with a smile, setting the bowl down before walking up to him, trying to smooth down his wild hair.

"Why are you so cheery?" Spencer asks her as he rests his head on her shoulder, his hands holding her waist. Don't get him wrong, he slept great last night, doesn't mean he wanted to get up just yet.

"Because I get to make my amazing pancakes for my amazing boyfriend." She tells him with a smile, her hands covering his to keep them on her waist as she leans back to look Spencer in the face.

"Pancakes?" Spencer asks, perking up a bit.

"Yup. I'm putting blueberries in mine." Ryder stated as she turned away from Spencer so she could start cooking them.

"Of course you are." Spencer said as he came to stand behind Ryder, his hands returning to her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder as he watched her cook.

"Oh shut up." Ryder shot back playfully. "I'm sorry I don't have a coffee maker or anything, just juice."

"That's okay." Spencer says, kissing her cheek and moving away from her towards the fridge, opening it to grab the orange juice before setting it on the counter, going to the cabinet to grab two cups.

Leaning his back against the counter behind Ryder, he watches her as she cooks, not able to keep the smile from his face. He was so happy right now as he watched her, he thought she looked adorable. She had pulled her hair into a messy bun on top of her head, still in her pajama shorts and a batman T-shirt.
