You’d known Reid for almost six years now.

You were hired on as his direct partner at the BAU. Due to that, you were forced to spend practically every second of every day together. At least, when you had a case.

You hit it off platonically pretty much immediately. One thing led to another, and you became best friends. Glued at the hip, case or not.

There were times when Spence questioned why he bothered paying his own rent. He was at your apartment just as much as his own, if not more.

Along the way, he fell for you. And you fell just as hard.

About a month ago, you’d confronted Spencer about avoiding you. It led to an argument, in which he confessed that he was putting distance between the two of you to try and get over you. Obviously, it didn’t work.

So after an angsty love confession, a make out session, and what you can probably assume happened next, the two of you made it official.

However, due to protocol restrictions, you were keeping it private.

With that being said, it didn’t take a profiler to notice what was going on.

Spence had gone from avoiding you for a month to following you around like a lost puppy dog. From that to the obvious smiles at each other, the constant physical contact, the sneaking off into the copy room, and moments like these…

The team was on a case in Portland. You, Spence, and Morgan were all visiting the most recent crime scene.

It happened to be on the side of a trail. There was a pretty steep slope down to the dump sight.

Morgan walked down first, followed by Spencer.

When you began your path down the ledge, you slipped on some fallen leaves.

Who caught you…?

Spence, obviously.

“Whoa-“

He grabbed hold of your waist, preventing you from falling. You did fall right into his chest, however.

“Careful, {{user}}…” Spence muttered through a laugh, meeting your eyes, lips upturned.

Morgan just rolled his eyes, though there was a soft smirk pulling at his face.
