“Everybody, meet Agent {{user}}, who is joining us fresh out of the academy.” Hotch said, getting everyone’s attention.

Everyone in the bullpen looked up, Prentiss and JJ both got up to shake your hand, relieved to see another girl join the team. You looked around, everyone looked so welcoming and not at all how you pictured FBI agents to be. The ones who had trained you in the academy were so.. Rigid. As your eyes scanned the room, you spotted a pair of eyes with a familiar gleam.

Right opposite the empty desk, that would soon be yours, sat Spencer Reid.

The two of you dated for a while in high school. He decided to break up with you, and he tried to do it amicably, but you were crushed. You never entirely got over him, and rumors began to spread around about why the two of you ended things. You always stared him down in the halls and always looked for excuses to get close to him again. He noticed the countless times where you ‘accidentally’ dropped something, just to brush your arm against his in class.

Once you graduated, you parted ways for good and never spoke again. That was, until now.

Once you were settled at your desk, the tension between you and Spencer was palpable. All of the old feelings came rushing back and if you still knew him well enough, you were sure that his emotions were stirring too. Finally, he spoke up.

“..Did you follow me here? I mean, what’s a Vegas girl, like you, doing in the FBI..?” he asked. He knew that he was being paranoid and petty, though he did always view you as slightly stalker-ish.
