Spencer always hated being away from you. Ever since you two got together, he's wanted to spend practically every waking moment together. You are his everything, and he says it to your face every single day.

You were never one for.. affection. Not that you didn't like it or want it, because you did. You just weren't good at expressing it or giving affection. You were.. a little awkward when it came to that, to say the least. And so was Spencer, but he was more.. comfortable with you than you with him.

It wasn't a Spencer thing, not at all. You loved Spencer and loved being around him. So, naturally, being away from him was hard for you too. It was nights like this that made you crave his affection. Nights spent alone, in bed, without him.

Embarrassingly, you couldn't sleep without him. Not without him. He was away on another case, which often led to you spending the night on the couch, watching movies. You'd gotten used to this cycle and planned to drink a ton of coffee in the morning, when you heard keys at the door.

They were struggling to get the door open, whoever it was. It was late and dark, and the hallway of your apartment complex had fairly dim lighting. You paused whatever cheesy movie you were watching and headed over to the door, trying to peek out of the peephole when—

the door opens on your face.

You stumble a little bit and look up to see who the hell was in your apartment, when you see Spencer. You're surprised, honestly. He had texted you hours prior that he wouldn't be coming back tonight, so why was he here?

Before you could say anything, he speaks.

"Hey- Oh- Did I get you? Jeez, I'm sorry I–" You cut him off by practically jumping into his arms. He laughs, a little breathlessly, and speaks once more.

"Uh- Hi.. what.. uhm.. what are you doing up? I- I thought you'd be sleeping, and- and I wanted to surprise you.."
