Ethereal

Officially Yours

You check your phone again- no texts. You haven't gotten any messages from Spencer since Monday when you told him you miss his touch. It's Thursday evening now. You know he's on a case, but usually he texts when he has the chance. You're a little worried but he's probably just on a difficult case. You sit on the couch and turn on the tv and try to fall asleep, but all you can think about is Spencer.

Then you hear a knock at the door. You think it's Cecilia so you open the door without checking yourself in the mirror. When you open it you see Spencer standing there.

He looks terrible. His hair is messy, his eyes are darker than usual, and his lips are down turned. His tie is loosened and his shirt is wrinkled. He looks absolutely exhausted.

"Spencer, are you ok?" You ask. He looks up and shakes his head and he looks like he's about to cry. It breaks your heart, so you invite him to come in and he does.

"Here, come lay with me." You say. You lead him into your bedroom with you and lift the covers. You lay down and pat the spot next to you. He lays down facing you and you wrap his arms around him while he burrows his head under your chin. You rub his arm and you watch him close his eyes. You pull the covers up and watch his torso rise and fall as he breathes. It gets slower until he's eventually asleep, and he looks peaceful again. You close your eyes and fall asleep with him.

The next morning you wake up with Spencer's arms wrapped around you. He's still nuzzled under your chin so you don't move. You want him to sleep. You close your eyes and try to fall asleep again, but then your phone rings. You try to reach over and turn it off, but you're too late because Spencer then wakes up. He picks his head up and looks around confused until he sees your panicked face turning off your ringer.

"I'm sorry, you can go back to sleep." You say as you set your phone back down. He smiles.

"No it's ok, I might as well wake up." He says. You lay your head down across from his and gaze into his hazel eyes.

"How are you feeling?" You ask.

"A lot better."

"Do you want to talk about it?" You say.

He looks away for a second and sits himself up. You do the same.

"I haven't been able to text you back these past few days because of the case me and my team are working on. We haven't had any luck catching the unsub, so we were sent home because we were awake for over 72 hours trying to find some type of lead. I don't like going home knowing that the bad guy is still out there."

You smile on the inside when you realize he came to you instead of home.

"Sorry I came here unannounced, I just didn't want to be alone." He says.

"Don't apologize. You're welcome here anytime." You say as you rub his cheek. He rests his face in the cup of your hand and you smile.

"Thank you. That means a lot."

"Do you want to go watch a movie, or do you need to go back to work?" You ask.

"My unit chief is giving us the day off, so a movie sounds great right now." He says.

"Great. I'll order us some brunch. Do you like Chinese?"

"I love it." He says smiling. He looks so cute with bed head. You walk into the kitchen and order the food and turn on the tv. Spencer comes up behind you and wraps his arms around your waist. You turn around and he kisses you. It's soft and sweet, and you kiss him back. He pulls away slowly and looks at you. You place your hands on his chest and smile. Being in his arms and kissing him in the morning feels right.

"Do you want some coffee?" You ask.

"Yes please." He says.

You grab two mugs and put one under your Keurig and let it fill with coffee. You do the same with the second mug and walk over to Spencer. You put a truckload of sugar in his and the usual amount of creamer in yours. He smiles and you grab the remote.

"Hey, before we watch something can we talk?" He says. You're suddenly struck with a feeling of worry and fear, but you stay calm.

"Yeah sure, what's up?" You say.

He looks down at his coffee and rubs his thumbs on the sides. "Y/n, I.." He starts but he stops to swallow halfway. Then he looks up at you with a smile and that look in his eyes.

"Y/n, I really like you. A lot. And I want to have a relationship with you."

You breathe in and your heart races. This is about to be real. It scares you, but Spencer is everything you want and need in a guy. Why would you say no?

"Spencer, I like you a lot too. I know that you think you aren't perfect in every way but to me you are. You deserve every ounce of happiness you get." You say. He smiles and sets his coffee down on the table. He takes yours from your hands and does the same, then he crawls over to you and plants a kiss on your lips and slips in his tongue. You kiss him back and hold his face in your hands. He grabs your waist and you wrap your legs around his as the kiss gets more and more passionate. You detach from him and he looks down at you with loving eyes.

"Should we move this to the bedroom, doctor?" You ask. He gets up and you stand next to him. He picks you up from under and carries you into the bedroom. As you continue to kiss, you come to reality and realize what just happened. You are Spencer Reid's girlfriend and he is your boyfriend. You can't believe it, but you are totally elated.

You kiss him more and more knowing that finally he is yours and you are his, and nothing can tear you apart.
