You joined the BAU about three years ago now and quickly became friends with Spencer. You two just got each other, like you were one. It was cute, honestly.

You both had.. some unresolved feelings for one another. Spencer, he swears from the moment he met you– he knew he had feelings for you. Loved, even. And you deeply cared for him, too. But, there was one big problem.

You were engaged. Well.. Until four days ago. The short story is that you caught him cheating on you so you promptly ended it. And, like all breakups, it hurt. Of course it did. And to get your mind off of it, you started staying at work late. You got so focused on work, that of course Spencer noticed.

So, what did the man who was in love with you do? Obviously, he stayed late with you. And you two talked, and talked (and worked, of course). It was fun. And it felt like you were finally able to spend time together without the pain of not being able to be together. Well, there still was that pain. Fraternization was strictly forbidden, but at least you were single, right? So, it wasn't.. that bad.

Tonight was one of those nights where you and Spencer ended up working late. It was a long night of work, and eventually the two of you started packing up to leave. You two had entered the parking garage and had said your goodbyes, and you had walked over to your car.

You were about to get in, when you heard Spencer speak.

"I don't- I don't care. About- the rules. I can't.. not be with you. Please, just.. Tell me you feel the same. In- at the least.. some way." He walked towards you and sighed, pushing his hair out of his face.

"Just tell me no, and- I'll walk. I'll never mention it again, I promise."

He really didn't want to, but- god, he needed to try.
