Diana Smith-or Dr. Smith-is the newest genius at the BAU. She's landed Hotchner's team where she re-meets her childhood friend, Spencer Reid. The two reconnect instantly, much to the delight of the team. But when Diana begins to see her best friend as more, he isn't quite on the same page. Will a bit of nudging from the team be enough to get these geniuses together, or are they doomed to be "just friends" forever?

"You know, caffeine is still an addiction, Dr. Reid." "If you're basing that on the quantity of coffee I consume, then you have an addiction to pasta, Dr. Hawthe." ~~~~~~ "Have you seen the way he looks at her? I've never seen him gaze at someone like that." "What, like he's about to jump her? Rossi, I've never even seen him look at a woman in general without getting red in the face." Emily shook her head. "Morgan, give him some credit; no one has ever paid as much attention to him as Natalia does." "Its true." Rossi chuckled. "Still, in all the years I've known her, I've never seen her ready to pounce someone like that either." ~~~~~ "Spencer?" Spencer's breath caught in his throat, every muscle in his upper body tensing in an attempt to stop himself from throwing her against the nearest wall. "Yeah..?" Natalia's heterochromatic eyes raked over him, and she let out a breathe. "We both know exactly what we want...why do you keep running from me?" The man nearly whined. He barely contained himself as it was; he couldn't breathe, couldn't think around her. "Because girls like you don't fall for guys like me."
