Harry Potter and the Late Night Confession (Reid x Reader)

"All I'm saying is that microwave popcorn packaging contains perfluorooctanoic. Do you like eating cancer?" Spencer complained.

"No, but I do like eating delicious things." You said as you tossed a piece of popcorn into your mouth, smirking. Reid sighed and sat down on the couch next to you, shaking his head as a tiny smile tugged at his lips. He gave in and took some popcorn out of the bowl. You chuckled and started the movie.

The opening scene for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince began to echo throughout the living room. It wasn't much, but it was your way to unwind after a long week at work.

The movie passed by quickly, the space between you and Spencer growing smaller and smaller as time went on. By the end of the movie, one of his arms was wrapped around you. Your head was resting on his shoulder and a blanket was draped over your laps.

"That was... good," Reid nodded as he turned off the T.V.

"Just good?" You raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"Well, as far as movie adaptations go, it was pretty good." He nodded.

You shook your head and sighed. "I just... wish that Ron could actually be recognized, for once. I mean, all his life, he's just wanted a little attention. All he does is help everyone around him, yet he gets nothing in return. And still, he keeps throwing everything he has away just to help out his friends." You blurted out as you looked at the DVD case in your hands. You looked up suddenly, just now realizing what you had said. Your eyes widened and you glanced at Reid. Normally, you do everything you can to hide your nerdier side.

To your relief, he stood there, grinning down at you.

"Oh my god... I, Spence..." You stammered, trying to find some excuse for what you had said.

"(Y/N), it's alright." He chuckled. "I, um, I think it's cute." Spencer shrugged. "I think you're cute..."

"R-really?" You grinned. He smiled shyly and nodded.

"Yes, I do. I... I love you," His cheeks were brimming with red, anxiously awaiting some response from you. You bit your lip, trying to conceal your enormous grin that was itching to break free.

"I love you too, Spence."
