Emily's POV

"what's on your mind, prentiss?" Derek asked as we sat back at our desks.

"hmm?" I turned to the boy who was looking my way.

"you've got that crease between your eyebrows that you get when you think too hard" Spencer butted into the conversation all a sudden.

"I'm good. Has anyone seen JJ?" I wondered.

"kitchen I think" Derek replied.

"great. thanks" I stood up from my seat and practically sprinted into the kitchen that was across the room.

"we need to talk" I closed the door behind me.

"woah, what's going on?" JJ turned to me, startled by the closing of the door.

"we need to talk about lunch" I stated.

"I'm still confused" she furrowed her eyebrows.

"y/n and Spencer!" I whispered aggressively.

She continued staring at me.

"y/n admitted to hearing classical music... a specific piece... a specific classical music piece that Spencer loves and obviously listens to often" I stated.

She sighed heavily.

"you can't tell me that this is another coincidence. Y/n doesn't listen to classical music and there's no wa6 someone in her apartment building would just be blasting that type of stuff!" I exclaimed. "she obviously heard it when Spencer was listening to it"

"Emily..." she took a step towards me and grabbed my hands.

"i know Lucy is our friend and you don't want to believe it but you can't not believe it" I stated.

"you have a plan, don't you" she furrowed her eyebrows.

"I'm hatching one in my pretty little brain" I shrugged.

"one that'll prove their soulmates?" she wondered.

"yup" I grinned.

"okay.. tell me" she sighed, a small smile on her face.

"why don't we like have y/n listening to specific music in one room and then Spencer in another and then we can see if what she's listening to is.. what he hears" I suggested.

"I.. that's a good idea but how are we supposed to get y/n in a room listening to music and Spencer in another, that's... very awkward" she stated.

"what if she's listening to music right now? I can text her, ask how she is, what's she's doing, what's she's listening to and then we can go to Spencer and do the same" I wondered.

"that... that could work. but only if she's listening to music" JJ nodded, grabbing her phone from her pocket.

JJ's POV

Me: hey gorge! how you feeling?

y/n: oh I'm doing all good, thank you. how you doing?

me: I'm doing fantastic!

Y/n: do you not have a case today?

Me: just some paperwork, what you doing today? You got work?

Y/n: not today, just listening to music, having a read of the book Spencer gave me

Me: lucky you. What you listening to?

Y/n: you're a curious one today, aren't you? I'm listening to this band called The Critters, more specifically their song called Younger Girl, if that's the information you're looking for <3

YES.

"she's listening to the critters, more specifically a song called Younger Girl. Go Go Go!" I mumbled before Emily scrambled out of the room and supposably to Spencer in the next room.

me: you're a beaut. have a good day today, we're thinking about going out tonight. I'll text you the details if it's confirmed xx

y/n: can't wait, you guys are pretty damn cool xx

me: oh and the feeling is mutual, beauty xx

I slid my phone in my pocket before exiting the room and making my way over to Emily and Spencer.

"what are we talking about?" I asked the two.

"we're trying to figure out what song I'm hearing" Spencer mumbled.

"neither of us recognise it" Emily shrugged.

"well.. recite some of the words. I'll search it up" I shrugged, whipping out my phone almost impatiently.

"uh okay..." he mumbled, pausing for a moment. "she's one of those girls who seem to come in the spring.. one look in your eyes and you'll forget everything.. Is that good enough?"

I rapidly typed the lyrics into my phone.

"yeah that should be... Good" holy fuck.

"have you got it? What song is it?" Emily asked, a little too eagerly.

Holy fuck.

"its uh.. I've never heard of it, its a song called Younger Girl.. but the Critters" I lifted my head, catching Emily's eyes. Her eyes were wide with both surprise and pure joy.

Holy FUCK.

"play a bit of it?" Emily suggested, her eyes still wide.

I clicked on the YouTube link of the song and it began playing.

"yeah, this is it. This is what I've been hearing all day today, she must like it a lot. I quite like it" Spencer smiled gently.

"I thought you didn't enjoy lyrical music?" I wondered.

"I don't dislike it, I'd just rather a beautiful symphony but some of the songs I've been hearing.. they're not bad" he nodded.

"right" I nodded rapidly. "we're gonna go out again tonight? Fancy joining us?"

"uh.. okay, fine" he smiled softly.

"is Y/N coming?" Emily wondered.

"yeah, she is. I texted her earlier. Usual bar at 8pm tonight?" I suggested.

The two nodded.

"I think I'm gonna head off, I'll see you both in a couple of hours. JJ, walk me out?" Emily asked.

I nodded, grabbing my bag that I had left next to Emily's desk before giving Spencer a wave and leaving the room with the brunette.

"oh my fucking god" Emily sighed heavily as we tumbled into the elevator.

"fuck" I cursed, running my hands through my hair for a couple of moments.

"okay so we both agree that y/n and Spencer are soulmates now? You cannot put that down to being another coincidence" Emily chuckled lightly.

"this is unbelievable, do we... do we tell them?" I turned to her.

Her face softened, she could clearly sense my worry.

"I think that'd be a bad idea.. you said that y/n and Lucy are happy together what if we just..." Emily stopped herself.

"not tell them? what about Spencer? Don't we want him to be happy?" I wondered.

"more than anything, I think we just.. have to give it time" she nodded.

"okay" I smiled sadly as the elevator reached the ground floor of the building.
