*7 years ago*

As you were standing beside Spencer you heard Emily tell JJ to have a good weekend but she waved a file in the air. Of course you weren't going to have a break.

"There goes my beach house rental" Derek sighed leaning against the desk in front of you

"And my non-refundable sin to win weekend in Atlantic city" Emily's voice sounded defeated, as if she was going to miss out on a good time

"Sin to win" Derek furrowed his brows

"Yep" she smirked "And I always win big" she slowly walked away as she spoke

Breaking the tension Spencer spoke up "I didn't have any plans"

Derek looked at Spencer and sighed before walking away. You ignored the annoyed look on his face and slowly turned Spencer's chair so he could face you. You could see his Adam's apple bob before you could say a word. It was cute when he got nervous around you. You looked down at him and said "So Spence I was thinking"

"Yeah" there was a slight high pitch in his tone

"After this case I was wondering if you wanted to go out to dinner"

"Dinner" he repeated

"Yeah, with me" you rested your hands behind your back waiting for an answer

"Like-- like um a date"

"No" you said a little too quickly "I mean yes, well it can be if you wanted it to"

"I think a date would be very nice"

"Cool" you nodded with a smile "We will talk about the details later"

"Yeah" he ran his fingers through his hair

"okay" you were about to turn around but you felt like you needed to do something first. You bent over slightly and kissed the soft skin on Spencer's cheek. You immediately turned around and walked away before you could see his reaction, but you already knew his face was flushed and his mouth was agape.

...

The case could not have been any longer. Once you finally arrived home you looked for Spencer. You found him at his desk packing a book into his satchel and so you approached him.

"Hey"

"Hey"

"So I know it's late so do you want to do dinner tomorrow night" you rocked on your heels back and fourth

"Sounds great" he stood taller and his hands wrapped around the straps of the satchel "So is this dinner fancy or casual"

"Well I was thinking fancy but we can do casual"

"No it's fine"

"I will text you the details later" you turned and walked towards the elevator

...

"You look beautiful" Spencer handed you a rose as you both sat down at the table

"Thank you" you flashed him a smile "You look very handsome"

You admired him for a moment before the waitress came "What would you like to drink tonight"

"I'll just stick with water" Spencer looked up at her and then to you

"Me too please"

She nodded and walked away

"So" you hadn't realized the awkward silence that sat between the both of you. It was easy to talk to Spencer until this moment. There was always a spark between the both of you but you never acted on it. He was the shyest person you knew so he wasn't going to initiate anything. And now you were slowly regretting the decision by possibly ruining your friendship

"So genius, do you have any interesting facts you would like to share"

"Mmm I don't believe intelligence can be accurately quantified but I do have an IQ of 187, an eidetic memory and can read 20,000 words per minute. So I guess you can call me a genius"

"Yep" you leaned forward a bit "I'm still going to call you a genius"

He didn't say anything, a smile was enough

"I know you love Halloween and since it's next week I was wondering what were your plans"

"We have barley started this date and you already want to plan another one"

"Oh I'm sorry I just-"

"No don't be sorry. I just didn't know that you actually wanted to hang out with me. This felt like a dare or a bet"

"Spence" you reached for his hand across the table "I genuinely want to spend time with you, I-- I um, I really like you"

He squeezed your hand slightly "I like you too"

This moment could last forever but your hands separated when the waitress came back with your water's

...

You were walking up the stairs of the metro with your fingers intertwined with Spencer's . The both of you stopped in front of the metro station, it was really late and basically empty outside. You glanced up at the sky and noticed that it was a full moon, a small smirk appeared on your face, the wind also made you shiver. Suddenly you saw Spencer removing his cardigan.

"Oh you don't have to, it's my fault for not bringing a sweater" you took a step back

"It's okay" he swung his cardigan around your shoulders and rested his hands around your waist "You look pretty"

You smiled and brought your hands to his face, careful not to drop the cardigan. Your hands rested on his soft skin and he slowly closed his eyes and leaned in. You closed yours and finally felt your lips touch his. His hands slowly wrapped around your waist causing him to pull your body closer to his. You slowly wrapped your arms around his neck and pulled him even closer.

You gasped when he bit your bottom lip as he pulled away "Get home safely"

"I will" you smiled and slowly turned to walk towards your apartment building. Once you arrived to the entrance you turned around and watched Spencer walking down the stairs. He had been waiting to see if you got home safely. You smiled to yourself and continued on your way inside. Once you arrived inside you received a text. It was from Spencer

I had a great time tonight I hope for more just like these

Then you responded I hope so too

You couldn't wait for what the universe had in store for you and Spencer Reid
