As time goes by

A bit of a smut-ish warning (I'm horrible at writing smut but here we go-)

As time went by, you and Spencer grew closer. By the fifth date, Spencer was comfortable enough to call you his girlfriend. 9 months later you moved in with him. Everything after went swimmingly, even though you both haven't said the "L" word to each other. At work you two never had your relationship get in the way. You would do almost anything for him. You felt like you were finally getting your happily ever after... until Hotch called to you his office.

"Is there something wrong, Sir?" You asked him nervously as he closed the blinds. He only ever closes them when it's a personal matter.

"Yes, not with your work, if that's what you're worried about." He replied.

"Then what is it?" You asked in curiosity.

"The man that tried to kidnap you a year ago, Arlo Jackson. He...escaped prison." Hotch said. The look on his face told you he wasn't joking. Your stomach dropped.

"He...He what? How- do they know where he is?" You stuttered. Hotch shook his head.

"No...the last thing he told the guards is that he's going to find a way to be with you... he's been dropping hints here and there of his location. They can't pin him down, but he's close Y/n." Hotch said grimly. Your stomach twisted in knots, and a lump formed in your throat.

"L/n...I think we should put you under witness protection." Hotch said. All color drained from your face

"W-wait...what? I can't just drop everything and leave! With all due respect sir, I don't want to run away from my problems, not anymore." You practically begged. Hotch sighed and rubbed his temples.

"L/n...we need to be cautious. He could be stalking you, and can hurt you." Hotch explained. You stayed quiet.

"Just take it into consideration and tell me what's your decision by the end of the day, okay?" You nodded, walking towards the door.

"Oh and Y/n? Tell Reid, he needs to know this." Hotch said. You felt sick.

"Y-yes, sir." You said timidly as you left the room. JJ, Garcia, and Spencer tried to make themselves not look suspicious. You couldn't help but giggle as Penelope picked up a stapler from Reid's desk and "examined it".

"Y'know, for being the smartest profilers and people I know, you guys are really, really bad at acting." You said with a forced laugh. Spencer looked at you with concern. JJ and Garcia chuckled.

"Is everything okay Y/n?" Garcia asked. You swallowed thickly. You weren't sure if you should tell the rest of the team. You didn't want to risk getting them in danger.

"Y-yeah, everything's fine!" You said. Spencer didn't buy it for a second.

"I'm..I'm gonna go get some water..." You said. You briskly walked to the break room, letting out a breath of relief. You grabbed a cup of water, taking a long sip. You felt anxious.

"Y/n?" Spencer said. You jumped, then slowly turned to see him.

"H-hey Spence! You scared me." You said, forcing another laugh. Spencer raised a brow.

"Are you okay? If there's something wrong you know you can tell me." He said. You stayed quiet.

"Everything's fine, really." You tried to convince him, but he read you like a book.

"Bubbles, please. I know something isn't okay..." Spencer pleaded, rubbing your arm. Spencer had a lot of nicknames for you, bubbles being his favorite. He calls you bubbles because of your bubbly personality.
