What happens in Vegas stays in Spencer's mind (which means forever) or for as long as he can run from it.
As the BAU returns to Las Vegas to investigate a case with strange details and an unsub targeting young mothers from a residential neighborhood, Doctor Spencer Reid finds himself confronting his past when the school where one of his childhood best friend (and first love) works at might hold the key to cracking the case.
"Spencer Reid!" Y/N exclaims upon seeing him.
Spencer, feeling shy and somewhat childish, couldn't help but feel his heart race as he recognizes Y/N's eyes and smile.
"Oh, I didn't know if you'd remember me." Spencer feared that Y/N might actually pretend not to know him. After all this time, it was only fair, especially after what happened the last time they saw each other, over a decade ago.
"Of course I remember," Y/N replies warmly with a soft voice that Spencer missed every single day. "how could I forget?"
Your first year at the BAU has been everything you expected, it was something you enjoyed and were passionate about. Everything in your life remains normal. You have a stable apartment and you friendship with your coworkers is strong. That is until a case is worked on by the team that has ties to your past, a past that is filled with seduction and passion. After the case, you decide to take a leap of faith and re visit that past. In the process, meeting a man who has you wondering, who are they? You sure wanted to find out.
In a story of secret love affairs and fear of loosing each other, Y/N and the man she meets might just be more than what they started out as. Friends.
