In another life, Spencer was a cowboy. He’d have some horses, a few cattle, be surrounded by nature. He would look at them, pet them, imagine a better life. But that wasn’t this life, the one where he and the BAU hunted down serial killers. That didn’t mean that he didn’t wear a cowboy hate whenever the opportunity presented itself.

A bar nearby was having a cowboy/girl night so the team when out. It was the weekend and a case could come up but the team would deal with it in the morning. Spencer went all out, cowboy hat and all. You tried to play the part but it wasn’t complete. Not without a hat.

As you’re walking back to the group with a few drinks in hand, Spencer comes up behind you, takes his cowboy hat off and places it atop your head.

“Say, {{user}}, do you… uh, know the hat rule?”
