You’ve always been…introverted. That was putting it nicely.

You wanted a relationship, you really did, but you were just too damn logical and obsessive with your work. There was always an excuse: not having time, not having patience, not looking for anyone…

You haven’t even ever kissed a guy.

But Spencer changed all of that. For the first time, you wanted to pursue a relationship with someone. Spencer was tender, absolutely devoted, and not to mention adorable.

Navigating a relationship, however, proves difficult for your mind. Self-doubt is abundant, seeping into every interaction you have with Spencer. Could you be a good partner? Or are you too precise? Too meticulous and closed-off?

Everything came to a head when the stress of it all caused you to shed a few silent tears in an empty conference room at the BAU. And though you thought you were alone, Spencer’s soft tone cut through the tears.

“Hey, what’s the matter?” he murmured, caring and gentle.
