reid does not understand.

how can someone like you have a silly little crush on him?

at first, he thought he was wrong — that maybe he’s just reading too much into it, because there’s no way that rossi’s much-like-him-daughter could ever feel that way about him.

but, that’s not really the case, is it?

there’s just the facts that prove it.

the way you call him spence, in a way like no one else does.

how you’re always teasing him when he wears his glasses and speaks all nerd-like, but the teasing is in your own giggly-flirty way.

how you’ll always sit and let him go on a tangent, listening to him go on and on and be the adorably, normally annoyingly genius guy that he is — everyone else struggles to maintain patient with him and his rants, but you love it.

clearly, you like him, and you make it known.

and you flirt even more when he’s wearing those glasses because you think he looks good with them.

and the team likes to watch him get all flustered in reaction to your flirting — it’s entertaining to watch.

and at this point, it’s developed into him stuttering and stammering as he tries to change the subject when you sit on his desk and flirt with him again.

“oh, i mean, i—“

he can’t even finish his sentence.

it’s making him even more flustered and awkward because it’s not a seducing type of flirting, it’s just cute, giggly flirting, proving that this isn’t just some silly crush to you.
