I would just like to say that this video does NOT belong to me, but by (YouTube Channel) "TwentyOneProductions". Which is an amazing video, I used it as a short introduction to the main Character. WARNING! VIDEO CONTAINS SPOILERS THROUGHOUT THR SEASONS. All rights reserved.
This video is just a quick insight into Reid, the video is actually perfect for later on in the story but I thought putting it in now might get you all excited to read on, and I hope you do. Enjoy!!
_____________________________________________________________________

The ear piercing ring of Dr Spencer Reid's alarm clock echo's throughout the young geniuses apartment. The apartment was a fairly normal one, for Reid anyways. The walls painted a dull cream, brown leather furniture and a tall dark brown mahogany book shelf stood still at one end of the room, books piled high and to the hundreds. Reid I'd love to read as he always points out to the team "I can read 20,000 words per minutes...".
The young geniuses arm stretched wide over his limp body as he smacked it down on the alarms head, his over arm brought down the duvet which covered his face, purple moons lay under his eyes, blinking a few times as the bright morning light burnt his eyes which have been deprived of sunlight for hours. His eyes sparked open as he looked upon the clock '9.02am' "SHIT!" Cried Reid, as he raced out of bed, grabbed some clothes from his set of draws, brushed his long brown locks, and dumping all his work into his messenger bag, leaving the apartment hastily.
As the clock stuck 9.30am Dr Spencer Reid was an hour and a half later, which was unlike him. His team mates of the BAU sat at there desks waiting for the young doctor to come rushing through the double doors any minute now. And he did, at 9:34 the young Doctor come shooting from the glass doors "i am so sorry I am late" He said quickly as he dumped his messenger bag down by his desk in the bullpen.
"It's okay Reid, just make sure it doesn't happen again please" spoke Hotch as he walked past back to his office.
"No, no definitely not sir" Reid let out a 'sigh' as he wasn't in trouble, he rubbed his eyes to try and wake him up a little. Then that's when his phone vibrates in the pocket of his grey tweed coat. As his took the phone from his pocket and smiled, not like a little small hidden smile but one which resembled the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. Still eyes locked on his mobile phone, just as Morgan headed towards him, with a smile on his face, clearly he had a good weekend, which in his case included a bar and many, many girls. "Who you texting Pretty Boy?" Morgan smiled.
"Hmm...what...no one" Reid closed his phone and placed it in his pocket hidden from peering eyes.
"Gotta be someone to make the young genius late" Morgan teased, as the others listened in. "Has Reid got a girlfriend?"
"You know I haven't Morgan" Reid stood up walking over to the kitchen as he has been neglected from his morning coffee. To keep him awake he adds in 2 large spoon full so coffee and, well, a lot of Sugar.
"Oh come on Reid you can tell me" give the young genius a slight nudge of the shoulder.
"Morgan" reid said as his tone became more agitated. "I haven't got a girlfriend" he walked back to his desk with his hot cup of coffee. "now I have to get on with some paper work so if you don't mind" Reid turned his back to Morgan, whilst pulling out his phone once again and grabbed the pile of unfinished paperwork growing taller and taller each day, they haven't had a case for about a week now and Reid was beginning to get bored.
As Morgan walked over the room, JJ stood watching Reid with curiosity, her head tilted to one side as she watched his every movement. He has been texting for about 5 minutes now and the smile hasn't left his face. "So, what do you think is up with Pretty boy over there?" Questioned Morgan as he joined Jj. They both stood crossed armed near Jj's office as the watched the young genius with questionable expressions.
"I really don't know, but I've never seen him this happy for a long time" Morgan sighs.
"Guess your right Jj. Anyway better get on with some work"
"Keep an eye on him will you" Morgan nodded as he left to his desk and JJ did the same.
Reid finally put down his phone and got on with some work, when once again it buzzed and this time it was a caballero, he smiled, looked around to see if the others were watching, grabbed his phone and walked off to the males toilets. Morgan noticed him leaving and followed him to the bathroom. The bathroom was fairly clean, the walls painted a pearly white and it smelt strongly of bleach. Reid answered the phone, as Morgan stood ear wiggin' at the door.
"Morgan, what are you doing?" It was Emily.
"Reid got a Phone call...shh" he placed his finger upon his lips as he turned his head back and focused on Reid.
'Hey, you know you can't call me at work, you know that' Reid whispered. He lent against the bathroom sink as he smiled down the phone.
'I know but I missed you' the voice on the other line was to quiet for Morgan and Emily to make out.
'Aw, I missed you too but I'm seeing you tonight' Reid laughed and so did Morgan and Emily.
'Does Reid truly have a girlfriend' Morgan thought. "Ma man" They both smiled. Reid hung up the phone and placed it into his pocket. Morgan and Emily both turned hastily and walked away before Reid noticed they were listening. The door swung open and Reid approached. Emily looked away and carried on with the mountains of paperwork piled up on her desk and Morgan walks out of his office like nothing had happened. "You were in there some time pretty boy, everything okay?"
"Hmm" Reid wasn't listening. "What? Yeah I'm fine" not even looking up.
"Does one Genius have a girlfriend by chance?" Grinned Morgan.
"I've told you Morgan no I haven't, I know your all thinking the same" all the team was listening into there conversation, and they turned around. "Can't I just have something private in my life?" Reid's smiled soon turned into a glare, down on his paperwork. "If you don't mind, please leave me to work" his tone became angrier.
"Come one" Morgan grinned and leaned over to Reid pushing on his shoulder in a playful manner.
"FUCK OFF MORGAN!" Lashed Reid. His soft brown hair fell in his face, as he pushed his brown wavy locks behind his ears.
"Hey man, I was only messing" Morgan stepped back in total shock as the team just starred at one another.
"I'm feed up of being treated like a child, I'm 26 years old okay!" Reid snapped. When suddenly Aaron's office door opened and a tall man with dark brown hair, a stern look and piercing eyes stood in the door frame. "What's going on? You okay Reid?" Aaron asked.
"Yeah I'm fine" Reid answered abruptly as he sat back down in his chair. And the others got back to work. Emily gave Morgan 'a concerned yet pissed of you shouldn't have gone to far' look.
As the long work day draw to a close. The team got ready to leave. "Wanna get a drink with us Pretty boy, you look like you need one?" Morgan leaned on the side wall of Reid's bullpen.
"No thanks Morgan, I've got plans" Reid said as he placed his unfinished work into his messenger bag. Grabbing his phone of the desk and quickly left, with a single goodnight. Morgan laughed to himself and headed to the lift with Emily, Garcia, Jj and Rossi. "He's definitely got a girlfriend!" They all laughed, and the elevators doors closed slowly.

The night was cold, with a crisp breeze blow through the winter air. Reid stood outside his apartment, wearing a long dark blue coat with its collar turned up, his favourite purple scarf hung loosely around his shoulders, his hair neatly combed a placed behind his ears. He blew his warm breath into his cold hands to warm them up as they gone red as the cold air grasped his numb fingers, then he placed them into his coat pockets. Suddenly a black Land Rover pulled up and Reid smiled. Opening the door and he climbed inside.
