  "Why don't you go make a move, pretty boy?" Derek grins, lighting shoving his coworker's shoulder with his own.  Stumbling back a bit, Spencer knits his eyebrows together as he regains his composure.

  "What do you mean?" Of course Spencer knew what he meant- but Derek didn't need to know that.  Chuckling, Derek shakes his head.

  "You know, for a smart guy like you you're pretty oblivious to the obvious." Noticing how Spencer tilts his head, Derek sighs.  "Look, just because you're a genius, doesn't mean you're good at hiding things.  I can see right through you, buddy."

  "I... don't know what you're talking about." He lies, scratching his nose.  Derek gestures across the room toward Y/n.

  "Look, I know you've been itchin' to tell her that you like her.  I could help you, if you want." Spencer opens his mouth, but Derek interrupts him before he can say anything.  "And don't even try lying because you've been making heart eyes at her for months, man.  You like her, and It's pretty clear that she likes you back."

  "What?  No, I don't- no she doesn't." Spencer denies, ignoring the way his heart flutters at the thought of Y/n.

  "Mhm.  You ever heard of pick-up lines?  They work on them every time."

  "They work on... who exactly?"

  "Girls, man.  Every single one of 'em.  Now put your coffee down cause you're about to go through flirting 101 with Derek Morgan." Laughing with bated breath, Spencer shakes his head as he sets down the mug onto the counter beside him.

  "Alright, so pick-up lines are a definite way into making your way into a girl's heart.  You just gotta know the right ones to use.  Let's see..." Derek trails off, trying to think of a good pick-up line for his colleague to use.  He snaps once he has one.  "Are you French?  Because Eiffel for you." Furrowing his eyebrows, Spencer shakes his head.

  "That's not how to correctly pronounce Eiffel.  And why would her background be of importance, it doesn't matter if she's French." Sighing, Derek places his head in his hands.

  "That's not the point." Derek groans.  "Alright, how about this one.  Aside from being sexy, what do you do for a living?"

  "Is that supposed to be a rhetorical question?  I know where she works, she works with us, Derek.  I thought you knew this."

  "Okay, you know what?  Don't say anything for this next one." Derek eyes Spencer pointedly.  "Are you a time traveler?  Because I can see you in my future." Noticing Spencer's gaze shifting all over the room, as well as him rocking back and forth on his heels, Derek rolls his eyes.  "What is it now?"

  "Technically time traveling is impossible due to the law of causality, which states that-"

  "Okay, okay.  I get the point, Reid."

  "But you didn't even give me a chance to explain it yet?"

  "Whoops, didn't notice.  All right, this time no witty comebacks or facts." Derek proceeds to whisper something into Spencer's ear, and the shorter of the two nods.

  Spencer makes quick strides across the room, stopping once he reaches Y/n.  The girl peers up at him, smiling as she stands from her desk.

  "Hey, what's up Spence?" Rubbing his neck, Spencer lazily grins.

  "I, uh, I have something to say, well, ask, technically." Chuckling, Y/n nods, waiting for him to continue.  "Did you know that Disneyland- wait, that's not it.  Sorry, let me restart." Spencer clears his throat, shifting his weight from one side to another.  "They, um, no.  Hold on.  People say that Disneyland is the, uh, happiest place on Earth." Tilting her head, Y/n holds in her laugh.  "Well, apparently, no one has ever been standing beside you." This earns a stifled giggle from Y/n as a red tint rises in her cheeks.  Spencer turns to see Derek across the room giving him a huge thumbs up.  Grinning, Spencer turns back to Y/n.

  "Spence, are you asking me on a date?" The man softly bites his lip, nodding.  "I would love to go on a date with you, Spencer Reid." She beams, pulling him in for a kiss.  Once the initial shock disappears he kisses back, and after a bit they pull away.  Just then Derek passes by the duo, leaning in to whisper something in Spencer's ear.

  "Like I said pretty boy, it works every time."
