However, to prepare to take on the role of an FBI agent, Y/N has to learn what it takes to be one. So she meets Dr. Spencer Reid, who is meant to show her how to play such a role, but things are not as smooth as either expected.

Our classic fools in love. (Y/N) joins the FBI and meets the youngest BAU team member: Doctor Spencer Reid, and soon they become inseparable.

And enjoy five years of his unquestionable friendship before facing the real truth: you can't be in love with your best friend and pretend there is nothing wrong. Slow, very slow burn.

She looks so pretty. I never understand how lucky I was to have met her, to be the one to hold her at the end of the night, to be there with her and for her in every way. I love her so much. "Reid?" Hotch asks me a question and I guess I'm distracted because I don't hear him the first time. Her hair looks cute when it's pulled behind like that. "Reid?" He asks again trying to find where my glance is. Before finding it he chuckles and understands, I've been staring at Y/N. "Enjoying the view doctor?" He says jokingly as I turn back to pay attention. "Sorry Hotch, ahem, what were you saying?" I ask adjusting the glass in my hands. "I was asking about you and Y/N," He says pointing to her with his beer "But I guess you just answered my question." "And what's that?" I ask taking a sip of my water. "You're happy Reid. I can see it in your eyes." I look down at my mismatched socks, blushing ever so slightly. "You're right." I say, "I am happy. I just feel so compatible." "I don't believe two people could ever be perfect for each other but, damn she's the closest fucking thing. Pardon my language. Did you know that researchers at the University of Texas asked 167 couples how long they'd known each other before dating, and on average the couples had known each other four months beforehand and around 40% were friends first. Y/N and I were friends first yeah, and we'd only known each other a couple months, but I'll never forget the first time I saw her thinking how much she'd be a part of my life. Look at me I'm rambling." I chuckle at Hotch's face in surprise. "Wow Reid, I've never heard you talk about a woman like that. She's special huh?" We look back to her and Rossi. "Yeah," She looks back and smiles, "really special." ... Japanese Denim by Daniel Ceaser is what inspired me, the title is directly in the lyrics and Spencer Reid's feelings can be linked to the first half's lyrics from Genius.

Hotch this is a bad idea" Reid said following him through the prison. "It's the only option we have left, we both know this" the stern man spoke as they approached the door. "We can't just let her out and join the team- it took the FBI 2 years to track her down, what if she escapes? She's a murderer Hotch" Morgan spoke from the other side of him. "We always say that unsubs make the best profilers, she is proof of that" Hotch said as the doors slowly opened. "Hello again boys" Athena smiled from the other side of the metal desk she was chained to. Reid frowned as she winked at him. "Glad the black eye has healed; I was afraid I damaged your pretty little face forever" she said referring to the time they tried to catch her, and she beat Reid up pretty badly before escaping. Athena was the most dangerous type of unsub, she was smart and had all the skills to be a expect level profiler and she absolutely used that against the team when they were asked to track her down.
