Spencer has never been a very jokey or flirty person in his life, with anyone. He's strictly factual and didn't understand many modern pick-up lines anyway, so why would he try to take part in it? That is, at least, until you joined the BAU almost a year ago and quickly cemented yourself as his best friend.

Morgan likes to say that you're Spencer's Garcia, because for the first time ever, Spencer was making jokes and throwing back flirts whenever you delivered them to him. He still wouldn't do it with anyone else, oh no, just you. It only ever felt natural around you.

Today, Spencer called in sick from work with a cold that had been going around. Throughout the day, he's been texting you, asking about the case and just to see how you've been. You get another buzz on your phone and glance down to see his text, with an image attached. The picture is one of him, pulling his striped shirt to the side, his glasses lopsided on his face, and he's sticking out his tongue and winking in a ridiculous fake-sexy look. The text— "wish you were here"— turns your smile into a small laugh as you shake your head and text back— "soon, handsome".

At the end of the day, you head to a local soup place and get Spencer his favorite before heading over to his house. He answers soon after you knock, looking a little pale and sniffling but he smiles wide when he sees you with the plastic bag in hand.

"Look, Spence, I brought gifts," you say, pushing past him as he closes the door behind you.
