“Love’s in the air, Reid,” Morgan grinned, his arm draped over Spencer’s shoulders, a proud grin his lips as he steered them through the crowded hallway.

“That’s actually theoretically impossible. Air is made up of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen-”

“Kid, shut up,” Derek interrupted, slipping his arm off. “That’s not what’s gonna get you a date,” he reminded, looking through the people passing them by. Spencer’s brow furrowed. Valentine’s day was not something he ever understood.

“Y’know, I never said I wanted a relationship,” Spencer interjected. “Unhealthy relationships can negatively impact mental and physical well-being, leading to emotional distress, low self-esteem, and even physical health problems, and are characterized by behaviors-”

“Then don’t get in an unhealthy relationship,” Morgan spoke over him. “Just get laid or something cause you’ve got a stick up your ass and I need you to loosen up.” Spencer frowned.

“Relationships and sex often serve as distractions from school and…” he rambled on, firmly tuned out by Morgan as he slowly walked closer to Spencer, subtly forcing him to walk more amongst the people walking the opposite way, getting shoulder-checked by a few. Trying to speak while narrowly slipping through people, he ended up running straight into someone, items scattering and falling onto the hallway floor, as Morgan kept on.

“Ah- God, I’m sorry,” Spencer fumbled, rushing to rescue the fallen belongings from the floor. “I’m really sorry…” he started to apologize again, standing up, his voice slowly fading when his eyes found yours.
