summary: working on a case that hits too close to home, spencer needs to be comforted by reader
warnings: season 10 spoilers, gideon's death, sad spenceY/n drove up to the small cabin, hopping out of the car as Spencer followed behind her. he gripped onto her hand tightly, walking up the stone steps into the thick aroma.
she made eye contact with the rest of the team, looking at Hotch and silently asking is it him?
Hotch gave a sad nod. Y/n glanced up at her husband to see him trying to hold back his tears. Garcia's heels clicked against the wood floor as she came in, her jaw dropping at the body.
"is it him?" she asked.
"yeah, it's Gideon." Hotch said.
Spencer immediately dashed out of the room, his feet hitting the floor harshly as he went out into the cool air.
"i'm sorry." Y/n murmured, seeing Hotch give her a nod of approval. she ran after her husband of three years, the cold weather hitting her as she saw him crouched down on the gravel.
he was sobbing, tears running down his face as his breathing quickened. Y/n placed her hands on his shoulders, rubbing them gently as he finally let out his emotions.
she crouched down behind him, sitting down softly on the little rocks as Spencer lost his balance. he fell into her arms, crying into her chest.
"h..how cou..could they?" he choked out, his hold on her tightening.
"people are cruel, bub. but don't worry, we're going to catch this motherfucker, okay? it's going to be all right, Spencer." she said, her own eyes filling with tears.
over the next few hours the team worked extra hard to find the unsub, and after Garcia did some magic they identified the man as Donnie Mallick.
Rossi shot him to death. Spencer and Y/n had run up on the body, Spencer quickly giving his wife a hug of relief.
the team all sat around at Rossi's place, wine glasses in their hands as the oldest agent served dinner.
"i remember my first day at the BAU, oh my. Gideon showed me around and when we walked by Spencer's desk he looked at me, said, "this one is single" and winked. i will never forget that." Y/n told, everyone laughing as Spencer flushed at the memory.
"he always told me he thought you two were perfect for each other. same dorkiness." JJ grinned.
Y/n and Spencer made eye contact, a loving look in Y/n's gaze as Spencer blushed harder.
"omg when he bought me flowers i was so happy. i wished flowers lasted forever." Penelope frowned. Hotch and Y/n locked eyes, widening their expressions before letting out laughs.
"i remember that one time we were doing a case. Gideon and i were in a bedroom, and he asked me a question. just as i was about to answer, that man started yelling out the window. like screaming. scared the hell out of me." Derek smiled, laughing slightly and shaking his head.
"Jason Gideon sure was a questionable man. a genius, though." Rossi said.
"he taught me how to officially play chess. he would always beat me, and i kept wondering why? i studied on it all night and day, then i finally beat him. i would do anything to play one more chess game with him.." Spencer sighed.
everyone gave sad, but meaningful looks at Spencer. "he'll be missed." Kate said.
when the team departed ways Y/n drove home, opening the door to her and Spencer's small house. Spencer immediately made his way into the bedroom, stripping down to his boxers as he flopped into bed.
Y/n followed, taking off her clothes and putting on an oversized teeshirt. she hopped into bed, laying next to her husband and sighing.
"i'm so tired." she murmured.
"i'm afraid to sleep." Spencer admitted.
"why?" she asked, propping herself up to look at him.
"i'm scared when i close my eyes i'll only see him. i'll see him dead." Spencer said, his voice shaky.
"bub.. it's okay to have nightmares. this was a really traumatic case, Spence. i'm right here, okay. i'm not going anywhere." she comforted, opening her arms for him to crawl in.
he rested his head on her boobs, his arms tightly wrapped around her waist. "promise?" he whispered.
"i promise." she mumbled back.
