Dr. Reid

1 - hold her for me

I just want to say that I take no credit whatsoever for the plot of criminal minds and most of these scenes or episodes that I took from the show. Just for entertainment purposes, most of the cases that I use will be big ones, such as the anthrax strain, the bank robbers, etc. I only take credit for the lines that I added myself, my characters, and the cases that I've created even though they're not that great. Good reading!

I also want to say, I didn't plan that Bentley was to be Haley's sister until about the 7th chapter, so if there are any mistakes about her last name, just know that I mean Brooks not Grey. Thank you.

Bentley Brookes

I sit down in the seat in front of Reid quietly as he reads his book.

"Hey." I give him a small smile.

We had gone undercover and we got trapped in the cult. Luckily, I got out with a few bruises all Iver my face on the right side and a black eye with cuts and he got nothing. I don't know what I would've done if I saw his little face mucked up. Now, we were on the plane heading back home and the others were fast asleep.

"Hey." He gives me a smile that doesn't reach his eyes.

He looks back at the book and starts to read again before I gently take the book out of his hands and place it on the table between us.

"I need you to listen to me. What Cyrus did to me is not your fault." His eyes move to somewhere to the side of me. "It was my decision and I would do it again. Do you hear me?" My voice cracks a little.

His lip twitches as he looks at me and back to the table.

"Thank you. You were great out there." I say, gripping his hand.

He bites his bottom lip, making me coo. I may or may not have feelings for Reid.

He picks up the book again and I blink back the tears that we're begging to fall.

"I-I love you." He says as he looks into my eyes. I open my mouth to say it back but he cuts me of. "Not in that way, I love you. I've loved you ever since you tackled me to the ground three years ago. I've loved you since you saved my life that day. And I love you because you're beautiful, strong, caring, and selfless. I love you because of this. You reassuring me that it's not my fault that Cyrus tried to kill you. You care so much and you noticing when I try so hard not to let that through. I love you and it's okay if you don't love me back." He says, making me move to cup his cheek.

"I've loved you since you rambled on about the case you solved about the girl who did everything in 3's," I state, making his eyes go wide.

"That was a few weeks after you can to the B.A.U." I nod, biting my lip.

"You wanna know something?" I ask, making him nod his head.

"I love it when you ramble on about random things." I shrug.

"Everyone else hates that!" He exclaims.

"Well, that's just one thing I love about you." I giggle.

Did I just giggle?

"So," he starts, with a nervous glint in his eyes. "What are we going to do now?" He asks, rubbing his thumb over my hand.

"Well, why don't you ask me to be your girlfriend?" I whisper lowly with a small smile.

"Bentley Brookes, will you be my girlfriend?" He asks, a small grin dancing on his lips.

"Yes." I chuckle, standing up to hug him.

I wrap my arms around his waist and he holds onto mine after a little hesitation.
