It was the first time in his life that Spencer Reid, the genius, didn't know what to do.
You expected it. Everyone expected it because, come on. You and Spencer have been together for more than five years, you live together,. Of course he would have popped the question really soon. "It was just time", that's what Derek Morgan, his best friend, told him when he bought that gorgeous engagement ring for you.
But oh, he was so fcked up right now. He has been having an emotional affair with someone else for six months. Her name is Maeve, a geneticist, who offered to help him with his migraines. But well, it was more than it. Spencer and Maeve talked over the phone every given Sunday, even for hours.
And he felt like she understood him. They talked about literature, physics, and even about their biggest secrets. But he never mentioned you. And last time he talked to Maeve, she told him that he loved him, and that's when he realized he fcked up.
Did he love her? Did he fall out of love with you? Spencer knew you were his soulmate, but the connection he felt with Maeve.. it was something new. And exciting. He really needs to get a grip. It wasn't fair, neither to Maeve or you. But he simply doesn't know what to do.
But little did he know, You already saw the engagement ring box and you were sure he was gona propose soon. The fact that he didn't do it yet, made you feel insecure. So you decided to give him a little push.
During one of your usuals Friday-movie-nights, while you both were snuggling on the couch of your aparment, you speak up.
"Do you ever think about the future?" You ask, looking at him. Spencer was so focused on the movie that it took him a few seconds to register your question. "The future of the humani-" You quickly interrupt him with a chuckle "No dummy, our future."
After that affermation he frowns "We should focus on our present." That's what he says, leaving you with a confused expression on your face. What was going on?
