Spencer became quite internally protective of you when you joined the FBI. You’re literally the epitome of how Spencer was when he was first hired; young, shy, nerdy, awkward.

He doesn’t want you to end up like him; traumatized.

During a case briefing, you were rambling about crime statistics. But you cut yourself off when you realized that no one was listening to you.

Spencer approaches you after the briefing.

“Hey, kiddo. I was listening to you. I care about what you have to say.”
