The team was utterly exhausted after this last case. So much so that the bullpen was relatively quiet for once. The end of the work day quietly approaches and the teams awaits it impatiently. Whispers of going out after work pass around Y/n's head. Garcia with a pep in her step approaches Y/n's desk and leans on the edge.
"So what is the word lady? Are you coming out tonight or not? And before you answer its a new bar none of us have ever been to and there will be live music tonight!" She explained with her happy tone. Y/n moved her hands from her keyboard and under the desk to wring her hands. Spencer looked up from his work as well awaiting the answer.
"I- Um I can't I have plans already." You explain, trying not to get further into it.
"It's my sisters and cousins. We don't get together often cause of work so I can't cancel." You look between the two. Trying to keep the sadness out of their eyes you toss in a quick next time. Spencer slowly goes back to his work and Garcia gives a small puppy dog eye look before going off to her work as well.
"You must be excited you were very distracted on the flight home." Spencer tossed in, turning his eyes away from your face. You nod vigorously, remembering restraining yourself from kicking your feet like as kid on the plane.
Everyone had left by now to get ready to gather at the bar except for you and Spencer. He had clearly finished his work and was taking his time to pack up. He leaned back in his chair and you felt his gaze settle on you. His gaze lining your face. You withhold a reaction making its way to your face. He had been looking at you more recently and you truly wondered why. Shifting slightly you let your hair fall in your face to hide the heat creeping up your cheeks. You finally start your own packing up.
"So what are you getting up to with your family?" Spencer finally spoke up. He zipped up his bag and slung it over his shoulder. He stood next to your desk, waiting. You debate the answer in your head before you felt a hand lift your chin to look up. Spencer's hand fell as you met his eyes. Noticing the way his pupils look you want to rattle off the statistic about how much the pupil dilates when it sees something it likes.
"Uh...It's girls n-night. You know.." You dash the pupil fact from your head deciding that Reid wouldn't even think about you in that way. He nods solemnly and turns to head to the elevators. You follow.

The Tangled Vine was almost bundling full of people. Most in the lounge listening to the current band playing. The team was huddled around a table by the bar laughing waiting for their drinks. Garcia and Hotch came back to the table and handed out the drinks. Emily, Garcia and Morgan took off sauntering into the crowd to check out the band that was playing.
"Shame Y/n couldn't come. This seems like her vibe exactly. Rowdy crowd. Live music." JJ started off the chatter of the night. Spencer nodded along his eyes scanning the crowd to keep an eye on the trio dancing together in the crowd to the band playing happy pop music.
