-'fbi headquarters @ quantico-'

it had been a couple of weeks since I started at the bau, I was slowly starting to get the hang of it. We haven't had any cases so far, which honestly I am kinda disappointed about. I was getting anxious to get out there and actually do what I came here to do. The best part of my day was seeing spencer, we spent all day talking and working together. It was a miracle that we got any work done, but we were a great team.

This morning I came in and sat at my desk like normal, except this time there was a cup of coffee on it with a note attached to it.

'just how you like it, enjoy! x spence'

he left me a kiss..thats pretty fucking cute. I looked up to see him smiling at me, a blush lightly dusting his cheeks.

"Thanks spence, I really needed some caffeine" I said, smiling and taking a sip.

"No problem Lea." He said, looking down at the book he had in his hands. Lea, he is the only person in the world who calls me that. I watched as his brows furrowed in concentration, fingers lightly running across the pages. I was in a trance, just watching him. He kept me so entranced I didn't even notice that I stopped drinking my coffee, I was just holding it up to my lips. He looked up at me again, smirking slightly.

"You alright Lea?" He asked, slight concern lacing his voice.

"Yeah sorry," I said blushing and looking down, "I just was thinking if we would get a case soon. I'm anxious to get going, you know?"

"I understand, I was like that for a while. Once you get going though it's hard to appreciate days like this, so enjoy them while you can." He said, moving out of his seat to grab another cup of coffee. I guess I never thought about it like that, so with that new thought in mind I got to work. Hotch called me into his office to fill out some forms, making sure that I did all of my requirements and so I would be ready to go into the field. After that my day was pretty much over, grabbing my bag from my desk I said goodbye to everyone and headed outside to my car. I heard footsteps behind me and turned around to see spencer waving his arms and running towards me, clearly trying to get my attention.

"Lea! Wait up!" he said, slightly out of breath. I halted and turned to him, shaking my head at his lack of athleticism.

"Hurry up you old man, I'm not gonna wait forever" I responded, trying my best to suppress the smirk that was on my lips.

"Ha. Ha. I am only like three years older than you" He said, catching up to me and putting his arms around me. He was breathing heavy, trying desperately to catch his breath.

"Thats still old, so what did you stop me for?" I asked, pushing his arms off of me.

"To give you this, I thought you could add it to your collection." He said, pulling out a book from his bag. He handed me Anna Karenina , It seemed old and worn. He looked down at his shoes before opening his mouth again, "I-I also wanted to ask if you wanted to play chess with me sometime? I know you've never played and I thought it might help your problem solving skills."

I smiled probably the biggest I ever had in my life, "Okay, I'd love that" I said. He looked up from his shoes finally, looking at me intensely. I swear I forgot how to breathe for two seconds until I saw him smile again. We walked in silence to my car, catching one another's glances in our side view. There was this unspoken tension between us that I couldn't explain, it was like I couldn't breathe around him. I decided to break the silence as we got to my car, "Thank you for the book, I'll make sure to tell you what I think of it." I said, trying to figure out the vibe in the air right now. He nodded in response, saying a quick goodbye before leaving into the darkness. I waited a second before I got into my car and drove off, that whole interaction was weird. it was like he was holding back somehow..I couldn't explain it.

As I was driving home I kept thinking about Spencer and our whole interaction today. First off he made me coffee, he gave me a book of his and then offered to teach me chess. I don't know..this seems like normal friendship stuff but the way that I feel when I'm with him. I've only known him for a short amount of time but I just...I feel better when I'm with him. I was so caught up in my thoughts about him that I didn't even realize I was home. I walked up the million steps to our apartment, taking a big deep breath as soon as I walked through the door. It was nice to be home, I still had lots to think about.

"Jesus..who died? You seem like you need a drink babe" Said Liam, who was currently standing in the living room, looking at me with concern.

"Oh god you have no idea, Boys are confusing" I said, throwing off my heels and walking to the kitchen. I grabbed two glasses and some wine, making my way to the couch. I poured him and I some wine before sitting down with a huff. I normally don't get so caught up with boys, it was always work before boys..now I have no idea how to deal with all of this.

"Who do I have to beat up this time?" Liam said, causing me to laugh, "Okay actually, tell me about him."

I immediately starting spilling about spencer and me; the coffee, the books, the long conversations, the glances, everything. After I finished my rambling (and my glass of wine), I looked up to see Liam smiling like an idiot.

"What?!" I said, hitting him on the shoulder jokingly.

"El..I think someones got a crush, and its not just him." He says, still grinning.

"What! No! I-I highly doubt that. I am sure that we are just friends and I am overthinking things." I said, trying to change the subject.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night hon, but honestly you should just see how you look when you talk about him. You are so in looooovvveeee" He said, making kissy lips towards me, clearly teasing me.

"Alright weirdo, I'm gonna go to bed now." I said, quickly leaving that whole situation.

"Night! Have fun dreaming of spencie!!" Liam yelled at me from the couch. Oh god, I haven't dealt with his teasing like this since the last time I had a crush at university. As soon as I walked into my room, I flopped on my bed.

That night I fell asleep dreaming of a certain genius, one who seems to be occupying my thoughts too often.
