another TW: talks about death, p3d0s, child trafficking

the night of the dinner, spencer stayed with you. though, you guys didn't do anything because you were both exhausted. 

the next morning, the two of you woke up early for work. spencer left for his house to get a change of clothes, saying,

"i'll see you later."

you got changed into a simple white button down and black jeans. you tucked the white shirt into the pants, putting a belt in the loops of your jeans. you grabbed a black blazer and the same black ankle boots you wore yesterday. you brushed your hair and put on mascara. you figured you'd stop by starbucks just to grab something beforehand.

it was a super intense day. there was a call about an unidentified body being found, and when the team visited the scene, it was identified as a missing girl. you stayed with jj, just staring at the body,

"she was only 5.." you muttered, turning your head. jj pat your shoulder and sighed as you walked away. this case was hitting you right in the gut. you lost your younger brother to a similar business of child trafficking. sometimes you hated this job with your entire being, other times you knew you were helping people. it was a rather short day, rossi dismissing the team early. even though it was a small day, your energy was completely drained. 

you and the team drove back to the headquarters to grab your belongings. you grabbed your stuff and moped out of the glass office doors towards the elevator. you managed to slide into an empty one, pressing the buttons for the door to close. you closed your eyes until you heard footsteps into the elevator. you opened one of your eyes to see who it was and of course, who else would it be?

"hey, spencer.." you said, opening both your eyes. spencer looked over,

"hey y/n. i can tell you're stressed. and exhausted." he observed, cocking his head to the side in understandment. you nodded and walked to him, clinging onto his arm as you rested your head on his shoulder,

"do you want me to spend time with you tonight?" he asked, his voice concerned. with a heavy sigh, you nodded against him and you felt his eyes on you. you closed yours in content.

you felt safe.

once home, you relaxed, taking off your coat and belt. spencer made himself comfortable on the couch as he waited patiently. you went into your room to cool off for a moment. you splashed your face with cold water to try and keep yourself together. afterwards, you walked back out to spencer. you sat down next to him, looking down,

"thanks for staying, again." you looked at him. he turned his head as he listened, 

"of course, y/n. i know this case is hard for you, and i'm here. always." he said, putting his hand on your arm in a friendly way. you nodded and leaned your head on his shoulder, holding back the urge to cry as your breaths began to shake. 

spencer felt your breath get uneven and shaky, to which he replied,

"it's okay. you're okay." he whispered calmly, which caused you to nearly break down. your eyes teared up and you sat up as he opened his arms for you. you began to cry as you leaned over, swinging your leg over him as you wrapped your arms around his neck. he put his arms around you as you straddled him. you buried your face into his shoulder for a moment then lifted your head,

"in all my time working at the BAU, a case has never hit me this hard." you sniffled.

spencer nodded, 

"i get it. this case is personal to you in a way, right?" he said, rubbing your back,

"yea. i think you know why." you whispered, your voice cracking.

spencer frowned as he heard the pain in your voice,

"why don't we just stay here all night? order food, watch some movies?" he suggested. you nodded, still holding onto him.

maybe everything was gonna be okay.
