You Look Like You Love Me - Spencer x reader

Description: Spencer can't hide his affection for his girlfriend, not even when he's in character.

Warnings: Not gonna lie. This is extremely fluffy.

Notes: So, apparently, I've had some inspiration hit me this week. Lucky you! I don't know how my brain came up with this, but I genuinely love it so much. I hope you guys do, too :)

_________

Y/n sat down at the Board AF table, waiting for Spencer to join her. They were filming a Try Not To Laugh trivial pursuit, which was heavily requested for the two of them to do since Shayne and Courtney's. With the game already set up, she began to realise that she'd been sitting there for a while.

"Alex!".

"Yeah?". She heard him pipe up from behind a monitor before popping his head out to look at her.

"Where's Spencer?".

"He should be along in a minute."

She furrowed her eyebrows. "He does know he's the director of this channel, right?".

Alex just laughed and shook his head.

Just then, someone entered the games stage, and she had to do a double take. There was Spencer.

He walked in slowly, dressed in his Chosen getup. Complete with the wolf t-shirt, khaki shorts, black sunglasses, and plastic katana strapped to his hip. She was not aware that this was the plan today.

She rolled her eyes playfully. "Really? You made me wait an extra ten minutes for this?".

While the crew laughed, Spencer remained in character. He exhaled heavily before speaking. "Greetings, non-chosen. I believe I have been summoned to a duel."

She shrugged. "Well, I certainly didn't summon you. Alex, did you know about this?".

He chuckled. "Yeah, I knew."

Spencer crossed the room and then sat at the opposite side of the table. Breaking character, he smiled at her. "Are you surprised?".

"Surprised? No. But I feel left out, I didn't know we were doing characters."

"We're not. But I wanna win, and I know you always laugh when I do The Chosen."

She chuckled. "Yeah, well, we'll see about that."

After a few minutes, the cameras started rolling, y/n did the intro, and the game started. It was true that Spencer could always make her laugh with The Chosen, but she had a few tricks of her own up her sleeve.

"You know, Chosen, you should really take your sunglasses off when you're inside."

"Wha- no, I... I can't do that. It's... forbidden."

She pursed her lips. "Well, you know who wears sunglasses indoors?".

"Who?".

"Blind people, and... douchebags."

Spencer licked his bottom lip, which she knew was a tell he'd developed from keeping himself from breaking character. But he cracked a smile and let out a little laugh, to which she grinned and did a little happy dance in her seat in celebration.

He took the sunglasses off before sitting up and resting his arms on the table to stare at her in a playful manner. Which, even after being with him for almost three years, did fluster her a little.

She proceeded to pick up a card when Alex reminded her that it was her turn, and she read out the question of the colour he was on.

It was always a little nerve-racking for her when she had to read things out loud on camera. No matter what it was, due to her dyslexia. But it was one of the things she and Angela bonded over.

"The Last Supper was painted by which artist?".

"That would be, uh... me. I did that."

She didn't laugh at that, but she did sigh. "You're quite full of yourself, aren't you?".

Spencer gasped in character. "What?! I am The Chosen, and you will show me respect."

That, unfortunately, did get her, and she giggled, shaking her head. She leaned back in her seat.

"Frankly, I don't care who you are. I'll respect you if you respect me."

"I respect you, even though you are a... woman." He said it hesitantly, like he didn't want to say it, but did anyway. And she did pretend to be offended, but ultimately, the way he said it made her laugh again.

When they were about halfway through filming, Spencer was winning. But of course he was. He leaned back in his seat, resting his arm on the back of it. His eyes softened significantly, and he wore a very not-chosen expression on his face.

Y/n wasn't paying attention, fixing the big triangles on her wheel since it had been annoying her that they were squinty. But when she looked at him, she immediately clocked it.

"That's not very Chosen of you."

"Everything I do is Chosen."

She shrugged. "You just look like you love me, is all."

"What? No, I... I don't do that."

She smiled, then gasped. "Do you think we could get The Chosen to fall in love?".

"No. Never." Spencer replied with an obvious smile.

"I could fix him."

He laughed, if only for the fact that his girlfriend was adorable and his Chosen facade was slowly slipping away.

So, maybe she didn't win the game, but she was happy that she got him to break character.

Later on in the day, y/n was sitting on a couch in one of the hang out spaces, taking a break from being at her desk. She was scrolling through her phone when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

She looked up to see Spencer, now dressed in his regular clothes. She smiled at him. "Hi." He moved to sit on the arm of the couch beside her, letting her rest her arm on his thigh.

"Hey, you okay?".

She nodded. "Yeah, I felt dizzy staring at a screen for so long. So I came here."

He nodded, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. "I can't stay for long. I need to get back to direct a video."

"That's okay."

"I know. I just feel bad that we've barely seen each other today."

She chuckled. "Spencer, it's fine. I know you can't go a day without me, but I'm sure you'll be okay."

He laughed, then rolled his eyes playfully. "You're so mean to me."

"But you still look at me like that, so I think I'm good."

He tilted his head. "Like what?".

"Wait, you really don't know? I thought you were playing it up for the video."

He chuckled. "I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Spencer, you look at me like I personally hung the moon and stars in the sky. I don't know how else to describe it."

"Well, I can't be sure you didn't." He replied, watching her cheeks flushed pink. She gently hit him. "Shut up."

He grinned a little, then sighed before removing himself from her side. "It pains me to leave you, but I'm afraid I must."

She chuckled. "Just go, simp."

He winked at her before leaving, and she shook her head. He was unbelievable.

"Well, if that wasn't the most sickeningly sweet thing I've ever seen." Courtney came into the area from the other side and flopped down on the couch beside her.

"I think I threw up in my mouth a little."

"Oh, hush. Like you and Shayne don't do the same thing."

They giggled. "Yeah, I guess I'm a bit of a hypocrite. But Spencer is, like, seriously in love with you, dude."

She smiled, nodding. "I know."

"I've never seen him like this before. It's great, I'm so happy for you guys."

"Thank you. That means a lot."

"I bet there'll be a proposal soon." They teased, making her chuckle. "It's on the table. I mean, it's been almost three years."

They gasped. "No way! Really? Have you two talked about getting married?".

She shrugged. "Yeah. There hasn't been anything definite any time soon, but I don't mind having him around."

Courtney laughed. "Well, that's all that matters."

"How do you know if you want to be with someone for the rest of your life?".

"Well... I don't know that there's one way to describe it. But I think if it's an easy decision for you, then it's the right one."

"Is that how it feels for you and Shayne?".

They smiled, and after a moment's thought, they nodded. "Yeah, it was the easiest decision of my life."

That gave her a lot to think about, so it was safe to say she didn't get much more work done the rest of the day.

But after work, y/n waited outside by Spencer's car after saying goodnight to Shayne and Courtney since she'd come out with them.

She wasn't waiting for long because in a few minutes, she saw Spencer crossing the parking lot, walking towards her.

"Ready to go?" He asked.

She nodded, not even noticing she was biting her fingernail out of habit. But Spencer noticed and reached out to take her hand, pulling it away from her mouth.

"You're doing it again."

"Oh...".

He smiled, squeezing her hand before unlocking the car.

While they were driving, music played from Spencer's Bluetooth connection instead of the radio as usual. He always let her pick the music, but she wasn't even paying attention to what was playing. She barely felt his hand on her knee.

"You okay, honey?".

"Yeah, why?".

"You've just been quiet, is all. I'm kinda worried."

She hums. "I'm okay."

"Is there something on your mind?".

"Just... something Courtney said to me today. I can't seem to stop thinking about it."

"What did they say?".

She smiled. "Girl stuff. You wouldn't understand."

He chuckled. "Try me. I've had conversations with girls before."

Giggling, she shook her head. "Fine. She said that it'll be easy to know if you want to spend the rest of your life with someone."

"Huh, that's interesting."

"I thought so, too."

He rose an eyebrow, his expression one of amusement as he glanced at her. "And they just brought this up to you spontaneously?".

She blushed a little. "No comment."

It wasn't long before they arrived at Spencer's place. But he was still curious as to what conversation she had with Courtney for them to say something like that to her.

"So, were you talking about me?".

"Well, obviously. But, I- Spencer, no! I can't have this conversation."

He chuckled. "Honey, how can you talk about it with Courtney, but not me?".

"Because that's different."

His expression softened. "Okay."

He moved closer to her, then put his arms around her waist. "Y/n, I'm not trying to pressure you into anything. But you can't blame me for being curious about what you said to Courtney when I know it involves me."

She sighed. "I know."

After a moment, he tilted his head. "Did you say you want to marry me?".

"No, well... not exactly. All I said was that it might be on the table because we've been together for a while. And I know we haven't had an actual conversation about it, so I didn't want to say anything in case it scared you."

He smiled slightly, shaking his head. "It doesn't scare me."

She looked at him confused. "Really?".

"The only thing that scares me is you thinking you can't tell me these things."

"So, you think about that stuff too?".

He nodded. "Yeah, actually. Y/n, if I look like I love you, it's because I do. I don't want to be with anyone else, so... I think it's only natural that someday I do want to marry you and spend the rest of my life with you. But... at the moment, I'm happy just being with you, so if you're not ready to talk about it, we don't have to."

"Someday sounds good." She sighed quietly. "I love you too, Spencer."

"I know." He replied softly before pulling her into his arms for a hug. She let out a breath, then rested her head on his shoulder and put her arms around him.

"Thank you."

He smiled, kissing her head briefly. "How do you feel about cuddling on the couch all night?".

She chuckled. "All night? I have to eat."

"Fine. If you must, but cuddles after. I will not accept objections or complaints. Thank you."

She pulled away from him with a huff. "You're so needy. How am I supposed to survive life with you?".

He whined playfully. "Hey! You signed up for this, no take backs."

"Oh, so you don't have a return policy?". She scrunched her nose a little, making him laugh. "I'm gonna pretend you didn't say that."

She sighed. "Well, I guess you'll just have to do then."

Turning away from him, she walked into the kitchen to get something to eat, only for Spencer to follow her in there anyway. He leaned on the counter, watching her.

When she noticed, she jumped a little. "Spencer!".

"What?".

"Stop looking at me like that."

He pursed his lips, shrugging like he didn't know what she said. "Like what, y/n?".

"You can't seriously not know you're doing it, Spencer."

He smiled slightly. "I really, truly, cross my heart. I have no idea what you mean."

She sighed. "You look like you love me."

The little smile playing on his lips grew into a grin. He was tempted to tell her, but he kind of wanted to keep his secret to himself a little longer. Ultimately, he decided to give it up.

"Well, when you smile at me like that, I can't help it."
