“valentines is coming up, loverboy.”
“how’s your gift to your little y/n-poo coming along??”
“stop teasing me, you guys.” reid sighed, overwhelmed by his indecisiveness to choose a gift for you.
penelope and derek acted like kindergarteners with a friend who had a crush, kicking their legs and giggling. “oh, i know!” penelope exclaimed. “you should bake her a pie with all the numbers of pi on it!”
“you’re so creative.” spencer deadpanned.
“ooh, i have a better idea!” derek chimed in. “you should write her a letter with that one heart graph equation on it.”
“why is that one so horrible?!” spencer complained. “you know what, never mind. i’ll figure it out myself.” he sighed, trudging out of the office. “good night, everyone.”

“hey, spence! i’m home.”
quickly putting away his computer, he rushed to the door to greet you.
“hey. how was work?” he asked, smiling at you as he took your things and set them down, allowing you to stretch and walk to your bedroom.
“exhausting. how about you?” you laughed.
“about the same.” he stated, doing his best to shield your valentine’s day gift from you.
“…spencer, you’ve never been good at hide and seek.” you giggled.
“how did you-“
“doesn’t take a profiler to read someone like a book, love.”
“actually, studies show-“
“shush. what is that?” you questioned.
“huh? it’s nothing, don’t worry. it’s not important. nothing special.”
“i didn’t even suggest that it was something special, yet you just denied it was twice. now… at least a hint?”
“no, y/n! i can’t tell you yet!” he laughed, attempted to conceal the pile of papers behind he back, you trying to slither around him to steal a glimpse of at least one.
“oh, i see.” you giggled. “is this for the certain holiday that’s coming up on the 14th of this month?”
“possibly?”
“alright, i’ll leave you alone… for now.”
sighing, he waited for you to walk out of the bedroom. he turned his back, stacking the papers together to put them somewhere you wouldn’t find it.
“by the way, your gift is ready.” you smiled, popping your head in the doorway.
smiling, he walked over to you and pressed a kiss to your forehead, ruffling your hair. “thank you, y/n.”

“you’re doing what??” penelope gaped.
derek was laughing so hard, he swore he was going to fall right there and be sucked into the floor and attacked by carpet particles.
“did you listen to a word we said, reid??” penelope was in disbelief.
derek continued wheezing.
“i get it, morgan!” spencer exclaimed.
“y/n isn’t going to fall for the genius-y stuff, reid!! i’ve seen her enough to know she wants something from the heart, not your huge head.”
“a mathematically.. perfect.. song??” derek managed to squeeze between laughs.
“it’s not that bad of an idea!” spencer argued.
“yes, it is!” emily chimed in.
“you too??” spencer whined.
“if you’re gonna write her a song, you need to tell her what you actually feel. and please, please, please, don’t mention her ass.” penelope said with a frustrated look.
the more the group stayed on this topic, the harder it would become for morgan to even attempt to calm down.
the rest of the day, spencer tried to figure out something else. something where math or “genius-y stuff”, as penelope said, wouldn’t come into the equation.
maybe he would have to come up with it all by himself.

“this is stupid.” he sighed, throwing away yet another piece of paper with seemingly meaningless lyrics.
“aww, what’s wrong, spence?” emily asked, noticing the very audible ‘this is stupid’ from across the room.
“nothing, everything’s fine.”
“are you still writing that song for y/n?”
“..not the same one, but still a song, yes.”
“ooh, are those original lyrics?? if you’re a genius in everything else, you must at least be a lyrical genius as well!” emily scampered over, eager to take a look.
“wait-!”
emily snatched the papers before spencer could react. “aww, spence!! these are so cute!! y/n’s gonna love this!”
“the song’s not finished, and the lyrics aren’t good,”
“they’re amazing, reid! i’m sure y/n will spin in circles when she hears this.”
“i barely have the melody! what makes you guys think i can finish a whole song in less than a week?”
“we can always help,” penelope joined in, looking as though hearts were going to start pouring out of her eyes.
"i thought it was supposed to be from my heart, not your heart." reid joked.
"hey, you were the one who was complaining about how long it was going to take. besides, the lyrics are all yours, we can just help with the actual music." derek suggested.
"besides, no matter how many PhDs you have, it's a little difficult to play 10 instruments at once and have it in time with everything else." emily poked.
"fine, i'm convinced. just don't embarrass me."

“i don’t think i’ve ever had a work day more exhausting than that.” emily sighed, out of breath.
“i agree. reid, why did you need to make the chorus so long??” penelope chimed in.
“it’s not my fault you volunteered to help.” spencer huffed.
“well, now that we’re finished, how about we go eat and go home?” derek got up from the slumping position on the table.
everyone agreed, so they all enjoyed dinner and drinks at a small restaurant, while brainstorming more ideas of what spencer could do for valentine’s day.
“don’t you guys also need to focus on your own valentine’s day??” spencer rolled his eyes.
“there’s plenty of time for that. now, i think you should get y/n a giant, fluffy, huge cake that says-“

“so, today’s the day, loverboy.”
“are you going to give it to her?”
“have you hinted it to her at all?”
reid’s head was collapsed on his desk, overwhelmed by the thoughts that you might not like your gift.
“what if i edited something wrong?” spencer started questioning. “what if there’s something in the background??”
“reid, you’re literally a genius. you would’ve known if there’s something wrong.” emily laughed.
“but, what if-“
“shh! reid, even if the song is so atrocious that she’d throw up, she still loves you so much that she’d probably listen to it millions of times if you asked her to!” penelope argued.
“no, she’s very particular about her music taste.”
“but she’s also particular about you!”
“but-“
“listen. you’re gonna go and give the song to her and she’s going to love it, and she’ll kiss you as many times there are notes.”
“but-“
“shut up!”
“...”

you returned home from work, excited to give spencer his gift. or, more specifically, take him to his gift.
“hey, spence,” you sang. “ready for your gift?”
“one second, y/n!” he shouted lightly from the other side of the house.
“what’s going on in here?” you smiled, stepping past the threshold into the dimly lit room.
“y/n!” spencer jumped. “i’m..”
“is this… a cassette tape?” you asked, sliding next to him.
“…yes.”
“for me?”
silently, you slid your fingers to his hand.
“..yes.” he whispered. “it’s not..”
he struggled to find the words.
“..finished?”
“no, it’s finished, it’s just…”
you leaned into his side. “show me, spence,” you hushed. “i’m sure it’s not that bad.” you joked.
“that’s rude,” he said, smiling, he tentatively pressed the play button.

“spencer, it’s-“
“i know, it’s bad. it sucks, i’m aware.” he groaned, his head in his hands.
“no!!” you laughed. “spencer, it’s beautiful! you made a whole song for me??”
turning back around, he looked relieved. “i..” he spoke, not knowing how to react.
you stepped over to him, grabbed his hands, and said, “spence, thank you. i love it.” you smiled.
“y/n-”
“shush.” you whispered, brushing your lips against his, before finally connecting them.
slightly breathing in, you could feel spencer’s chest slightly relax. you interlocked your fingers with his, reaching one hand to cup his face.
slowly rocking, he wrapped his arms around you, slowly bringing you closer and breathing in your scent.
“alright, alright,” you say, breaking apart. “now, get ready for your gift. how do you feel about dinner?”
oh my god.
that’s the longest thing i’ve ever written
not even for english class have i written something that’s longer than that
