The animosity between you and Dr. Spencer Reid was well-known within the BAU. Clashing personalities, differing methodologies, constant competitiveness had made you bitter rivals from the start. Yet, when a recent case left you injured and bedridden, the last person you expected to see at your doorstep was Spencer.

The sound of the doorbell echoed through your home, and you slowly made your way to answer it, clinging onto anything you could to balance yourself, still nursing the wounds from the last mission. Opening the door, you were met with Spencer's awkward stance, holding a small bag of groceries and a hesitant expression.

"What are you doing here, Reid?" you asked, your surprise evident in your voice.

Spencer shifted uncomfortably, clearly out of his element. "I heard you were hurt. I... I thought you might need some help."

You raised an eyebrow, skepticism coloring your features. "You came all the way here to check on me?"

He nodded, glancing down at the bag in his hands. "I brought some things. Soup, mostly. And some books. I know you like to read in your spare time, plus it'd be good to get something in that thick head of yours."

The gesture was unexpected, and for a moment, you were at a loss for words. Spencer, the person you often clashed with, had gone out of his way to offer a helping hand.

You finally snapped out of it, stepping aside to let him enter.
