Matthew Gray Gubler/ Spencer Reid Oneshots

Meeting

A/N yeah I know this isn't what happens in criminal minds, but this is a fanfic, if you're here for accuracy to the plot of criminal minds I'm sad to say that this isn't it, if you haven't guessed so far.

When I was casted to be in Criminal Minds, I was mixed with 2 feelings: excitement and fear.

Excited for the friends I might make, excited to play an agent in the BAU. But with that excitement, creeps in the fear.

Afraid that this character was a mistake so they forget the story line. Afraid the existing cast members won't accept me with open arms like the producers previously promised.

So, when the table read finally came up, my 2 emotions regarding this were at a constant battle for dominance. The only stability was one of the producers at my side, walking with me into the room.

"Don't worry, they know about the new girl, they'll all be glad to meet you. It will be like you've been there the whole time."

Those words keep floating through my head as the producer pushes the door open. I walk into the room and my eyes are flooded with the all too familiar faces of the characters I've grown to love here now.

Some seem like they do even on screen, like, despite the early hour, they wake up in casual jeans and a t-shirt, ready to tackle what life throws at them.

And, the others, are trying to see if they can inhale coffee so they are more energized.

A young man is the first one to speak up. "Hi! You must be the new girl. I'm Shemar." He extends his hand which I am glad to take.

"Hello Shemar, I'm Sarah." His handshake is firm yet gentle. I expect he can probably give a powerful shake, maybe it's the early morning or the fact that he is so much bigger then me.

"Sarah, beautiful name for a beautiful girl," he says winking. I laugh a bit.

"Yes, he's as much as a flirt in real life as he is on screen," a blonde speaks up. Kirsten.

"Dully noted." I nod.

"If you want, you can sit next to me. I'd love to get to know you," she says, motioning to an empty seat on her left. I nod, and we sit. "So, are you a fan of the show?"

"Yeah, I've been watching since the beginning." I admit. She smiles.

"So, between you and me, who's your favorite character?" I look around the room, eyes scanning for someone specific.

"Reid," I admit.

"Really? Well Matthew would be glad to hear that," she giggles.

"I would appreciate if his first impression of me isn't my liking of his character."

"Okay," she laughs. "But I make no promises of setting you guys up. He's been single for way too long and you would look lovely together." I blush, laugh, and shake my head slightly.

"First time meeting him, and you're already trying to play matchmaker."

"Well yeah! Anyway, let's get to know each other." She says, I agree and we spend the rest of the time getting to know one another while we wait for everyone t show up. Her and I seem to get along really well, and by the time everyone showed up, we've already exchanged social media and contact information.

I noticed when he walked in, holding a cup holder with 5 cups of coffee.

"Sorry I'm late, Kristen made me do a coffee run." He says. I look at her and she laughs. He hands the coffee to the respected owners till he has 2 left. "Um, who's Sarah?" I look at Kristen, only her knowing my coffee preference.
