Spencer was by nature shy, awkward, strange, but nevertheless kind-hearted and ready to sacrifice everything for those close to him. However, it always seemed to him that no one could really love him if he didn't achieve anything great in life. This is why he became so trapped in the trap of arrogance when he started to become more and more successful in his studies, losing all precious realities in favour of recognition, money and Maeve, who seemed to be the only person who appreciated him.

nobody loved me when i was nobody! (you did.)

Spencer Reid was a complicated person. He was a genius with an IQ of 187, but that didn't mean he knew how to deal with himself. He was shy, and when someone interrupted him, he could easily succumb to his fears. But he was good. In everything. In almost everything. Because talking about his feelings came hard to him. As hard as letting himself understand that someone could love him.

you fell out of love, when he falls in

he's never kissed before (you show him)

Spencer has cared about you a lot since you started being friends, which is why it tore his heart so much when he had to face the choice of joining the FBI or staying with you. However, the promise of a job in a place he had always dreamed of working in prevailed over the decision. That didn't mean he didn't hate himself every day for not saying a word to you, ignoring your attempts to contact him as well. And when he read your book, he knew he had to at least try to apologize to you.

you wrote a book about him, after he left you

Spencer loved you as a friend in a way that words couldn't even describe. That's why when the long-buried secret about you having a baby came out, he couldn't understand why you kept it from him. Even if you were doing it for his sake.

you had a child and hid it (love, Rosie)

you always kiss him goodbye, but not today

The quiet, dependable handyman everyone in town trusts. Strong, soft-spoken, and always ready to help, he fixes more than just broken things - he brings comfort. With work-worn hands, a bun tucked behind grease-smudged cheeks, and a rare, crooked smile, he’s the heart of the countryside - steady, kind, and unknowingly charming.

'i’ve heard you need a hand with that'

misunderstanding

A quiet, rugged mechanic with grease-stained hands, a soft spot for his daughter, and a heart bigger than he lets on. Built strong from years of hard work, he’s more action than words, loyal to a fault, and awkwardly charming without meaning to be. Though he seems reserved, there's kindness in his eyes and gentleness in how he loves - especially when it comes to his little girl or someone who truly sees him.
