"you're silence is my favorite sound."

꧁☘︎︎♧︎☘︎︎♧︎☘︎︎꧂

"spence you better have a good reason for throwing me under the bus like that," you protest. garcia and luke laugh at the table while spencer looks at you with wide eyes and his hands up.

"y/n i told you, prentiss asked me how you were and i said,' she couldn't be better, she's getting her spine snapped in half!' what was the problem with being honest? besides, you and prentiss are like best buds or some shit," he says as he puts his water down. "she wouldn't care if you were sleeping with luke."

you shake your head and laugh. "spence, a team leader is a team leader. prentiss being the team leader and knowing that there's fraternization going on doesn't look good for her rep."

"so you're saying prentiss would report it?" garcia asks.

"y/n maybe she won't. you don't know," luke shrugs.

"well neither of us can afford to lose our jobs," you simply say to luke. "and to be honest, if we lost our jobs the team would be too short-handed to stay running. strauss would either transfer people into the BAU or just transfer everybody out and call it quits."

garcia rolls her eyes at the sound of strauss' name. you laugh and spencer chuckles, your laugh leaving luke smiling. oddly enough you seemed somewhat attached to luke emotionally, and obviously sexually, but there was an emotional connection between you and luke that neither of you could just shake off.

and of course, he didn't really think you loved him still after that day in the kitchen.

right?

spencer's phone rings, and he answers. "hello?"

"reid we have a case," emily sighs into the phone. "catch a plane to michigan we'll see you and garcia there."

"she can come with?"

"yes, be here."

"what about sergio?"

emily pauses. he could stay with you for the last two weeks of the bonding trip, but that would probably be too long for emily. you knew spencer couldn't fly back to emily's apartment and then to michigan for the case.

"well, uh, i guess i can fly there when the case is over to go get him. i'd like to talk to luke and y/n anyway. see you in michigan reid."

she hangs up on him and looks at you and luke. his eyes are wide before he rolls them and sighs, placing his phone on the table.

"case?"

"yep," he groans. "garcia you'll be going to michigan with us, whatever this is i guess we're going to seriously need you by the tone in prentiss's voice."

"you profilers amaze me," garcia says as she sucks down another glass of wine. "you people here one off tone about somebody and you can come to the conclusion that they've just gone through a divorce and their wife took their three kids, while the family dog bounces back and forth from house to house because they both argue over him."

"that's how morgan could figure out if you were in a mood," spencer smiles, hiccuping afterwards. you laugh at spencer's hiccup and he kicks you under the table as he hiccups again. garcia now laughs and soon luke is even chuckling.
