#Spencer: shut up

[only-one-brain-cell]

No but imagine Spencer coming out to the team as bi and telling them about Ethan and how him and Ethan would have debates all the time,. They were both so competitive and always trying to one up each other. They managed to convince everyone that they hated each other then 5 minutes later they were making out in a closet.

Spencer Reid is a very private person, he has his things that he doesn't tell his teammates. So, when he meets you, he doesn't tell them, it's not important and it never comes up, so they just don't know. When he starts wearing a ring that you both insist isn't a wedding band, he doesn't tell anyone. You're not married legally, so why does it matter? The team notices, but outside of some snide and humorous remarks, nothing is said about it. Your relationship is a quiet thing, it's between you, and Spencer and only the two of you. People will ask if you're married, and you'll both say no as you fidget with the ring on your left hand. You're husbands in every meaning of the word, except for the legal aspect, but thats your business, not anyone else's. You're not boyfriends though, you're thirty years old so boyfriends doesn't quite fit the bill anymore, you refer to each other as partner, because that works well enough. You live together, you have a joint Bank account, you're the beneficiary of his life insurance policy should anything happen, you share an insurance plan. It's just how it is between the two of you. Hotch knows simply because to add you to is insurance he had to go through Aaron, but he doesn't like making it his business what Spencer does.

You didn't know when it started happening– the random people walking up to you asking for photos– you just gradually started to get used to it after twenty or so times. Normally, it wouldn't bother you. The people who support you and the reason you make YouTube videos deserve the world in your eyes, but now that you're here, walking down the streets of D.C with Spencer on your first date… it was bothering you… just the tiniest bit!

It took a while for you and Spencer to get to this point. A lot of phone tag (you were both very busy people), you being out of town, and Spencer being out of town really put the two of you through the ringer. To say you deserved this moment of having a proper first date would be an understatement, which is why these two sweet girls walking up to you with shy smiles put you on edge.

“Hi! You're Y/N, right?”

You and Spencer were supposed to be at the small bistro not even a hundred feet away at this point. If you were by yourself, you would be ecstatic to talk to them. Maybe you're a shitty person (you're not. Spencer would later make sure to explain that you're allowed to have boundaries and that talking to strangers normally puts people on edge). Maybe for once, you wanted to not talk to the people who made your career possible. Maybe you feel too bad even thinking this way that the people pleaser is screaming to come out. “Uh… hi.”

“Do you mind taking a picture with us? We’re obsessed with your videos.”

You've been hyper aware of Spencer by your side the entire time. He’s never seen you in your element with followers. You have no clue if he's ever been through something like this with anyone he’s previously dated, but you want to assume this is all new to him and you're probably scaring him away as the seconds tick by.

You're only brought out of your thoughts when you hear Spencer speak up next to you. “Go ahead.”

“Okay…” The process was relatively quick. Spencer offered to take the photo, the girls thanked him profusely, and about five photos total were taken. When Spencer returns the phone the two turn back towards you with wide smiles plastered on their faces.

“Thank you so much! Have a nice night!”

And that was that. Except, it didn't feel like it was done. There was an awkward feeling settling over the two of you, but nothing was said as Spencer linked your arms back together and continued to walk to the bistro.

It was eating at you the entire time you've been in the restaurant. He never brought it up though, always steering the conversation to your shared interests and throwing in a fun fact now and then. It was right before the check came that you finally had enough with the all-consuming thoughts and blurted out the only thing you could truly focus on.

“I could never give you peace.”

“What…?” His wrinkled eyebrows did all of the talking.

“My… job. More people have been doing what those two girls did– asking for pictures. And I know how serious your job is, if people start asking for pictures of you too… I don't want to put you in that position.”

It was quiet for a moment. Although he was a genius, Spencer needed a moment to take in what you said. “Ditto.”

What? “What?” You slapped your hand over your mouth. You did not mean to say that out loud.

He didn't flinch, going straight into explanation. “My job is serious. Serial killer serious. My boss lost his wife because of this job. If you're worried about me in regards to your job, I’m worried out of my wits for you.”

“So… if we both can't provide peace?”

“It's a good thing I enjoy a little chaos.”

A small smile was shared between the two of you, and after the waiter dropped off the bill, you took another look at him. “Well, Dr. Reid, you really are a genius. You solved a majority of my fears with one small conversation.”

“It doesn't take a genius to see what he has in front of him has great

potential to be one of the best things in his life.”

A smirk appeared on your face when he shyly looked at you. “That good, huh? Does that mean I scored a second date?”

“Of course!” Spencer perked up, eyes immediately widening. “Did you know that the typical success rate for getting a second date is 13.7%, which gives a match an opportune time to learn the real chemistry between them and their match, including their values, passions, and family? First dates are actually–”

Sitting there, listening to him changed the smirk to a genuine smile. Maybe the two of you couldn't provide peace on the outside, but as he continues to speak passionately, you feel nothing warmth spread throughout you. The same type of warmth you feel at home; the same type of peace.

Guys help, I’ve been watching Criminal Minds while I draw and then I remember “hey I think that I remember see a Batfam x CM cross over fic” and I look it up and it’s not quite my thing, but then I found another where Spencer is part of the batfam and then I had a dream about it last night and now I’m debating drawing it.

Also Penelope Garcia should be a lesbian the CM writers are just fucking cowards.

Pretty Boy's Friend - SPENCER X READER DRABBLE

this is my first ever criminal minds fanfic ! this one is based off of a few storylines i've come up with in my head . i know they seem a bit out of character for spencer but hush let me indulge in this . this one takes place around season 10 because that's where i'm at with watching it so yea

"Spencer?"

The sound of your voice calling his name brought him out of the book that he had found himself getting lost in, now looking up to see you, smiling warmly with his all-too-familiar hoodie hanging over your shoulder. As his chocolate brown eyes met your's, he couldn't help but blush, and he definitely couldn't help but hear the giggles and whispers of his colleagues.

"Uh- hey...! What uh..what are you doing here?" He muttered, eliciting a chuckle from you as you gestured towards his warm-green colored hoodie that you had in your grasp, one that you designed and gave to him yourself.

"You forgot your hoodie at my house, dummy!" You let out yet another laugh, curling the hoodie up into a ball in your hands before stretching your arms out to him. He carefully took the soft piece of clothing into his grip, making sure not to touch you due to the fact that there were eyes on him. "I know you spend a lot of time there but that doesn't mean you can just let your stuff hang around there too."

Spencer nodded, unaware of the pink plaguing his cheeks now going into full on red. He snapped out of his thoughts after a minute or two of staring, you having broke the awkward silence by saying:

"So...same time next week?"

"Oh-! Uhm- yeah, yeah. Same time.." He nodded, and you once more gave him another smile that caused his heart to nearly jump out of his chest.

"It's a date then." You nodded, adjusting your own coat that was resting on your shoulders. You turned away, now starting to walk towards the exit. As you made your way out, you called to him: "See ya 'round Spencie!"

Spencer opened his mouth to respond, but all words had gotten caught in his throat. It was only when he heard the deep and godforsaken voice of one of his coworkers spoke up behind him.

"Looks like pretty boy's got a crush~"

"Shut up, Morgan."

unfortunately, i can confirm that australian schools have more spiders than malakais

i think one of the most flustering and flattering things to hear is someone telling you that you’re fun to tease.

not only is it incredibly flustering but it’s also comforting in a way?? i struggle a lot with people pleasing and feeling guilty for being given affection and attention because there’s times i feel like i don’t deserve it or i worry that i’m subconsciously like demanding the person give me attention. which is silly and i know it’s silly but my brain still has those irrational fears y’know?

so getting that reassurance that the other person is also getting enjoyment out of it?? that they like to make me feel this way and are doing it because they want to, not because they feel like they have to?

it’s nice for us chronic overthinkers to hear
