Spencer was a child prodigy, who graduated high school at 12 and joined the BAU at 21.

You were also a child prodigy, and you joined the BAU a year after him, you were both 22.

you were both originally underestimated by the team, mostly Morgan and Hotch, but Gideon convinced them to trust you, and now, a year later, you’re both considered an asset to the team.

because of your similarities in age and intelligence, you and spencer are extremely close. hotch sends you together on almost every assignment, and you spend a lot of time outside of work together, too.

like now, where you two are on a late drive at about midnight. this is a frequent activity for both of you. you go out and have deep conversations about everything, considering you don’t have many friends aside from each other.

“…why do you think I can’t get a date?” he asks, referring to a comment morgan had made earlier that day.
