Important - Spencer Reid Imagine

Part 2 of this

Summary: Reid takes you on a date.

You sighed tossing the dress onto the bed. It joined the many others that you had tried on earlier that evening. You groaned, you probably should have got JJ or Garcia to go shopping with you today. You sighed reaching over and grabbing the plain black dress you had tried on about 20 minutes ago. It would have to do.

Why you were so nervous for this you didn’t know. You seen Reid everyday, you worked with him. He’s seen you in the worst condition, in life threatening positions, crabby because of lack of sleep, he’s seen you in every state, You shouldn’t be so nervous about this.

You twisted in front of the mirror. It was a pretty dress, plain but pretty. It was a knee long flowing dress with a high neckline and sleeves that came down to your elbows, it had light blue flowers around the hem of the neckline. It wasn’t fancy but it was nice. 

You didn’t have many dresses, it was mostly jeans and tops because that’s what you wore to work. You never had any real need to own anything else. Working in the BAU took up a lot of time, most of your time. You only really needed clothes for work.

Looking at the clock on your bedside table you realised it would have to do, it was almost 7 o’clock and Spencer wasn’t one to be late. He was always punctual. Reaching over you grabbed your bag and keys before turning and grabbing the cardigan you had taken out earlier. Thank god you left picking clothes until last, at least you didn’t have to do your make-up or hair.

Walking into the front room you left your bag by the door wanting to grab some water before Spencer arrived. Just as you turned you heard a soft knock on the door. You were sure that if you hadn’t been standing beside it you would have missed it. It was definitely Spencer’s knock though. He had a certain knock you had memorised.

Taking a deep breath you reached out. Then the knock came again this time louder. You would definitely have been able to hear it from inside your apartment. You waited a split second before opening the door.

When you did your mouth fell open slightly. Spencer looked amazing. He wore a dark suit with a purple shirt underneath, it was buttoned up to the top. He had a purple tie on aswell the was slightly askewed and you could only imagine it was because he had pulled at it. Right on that thought, as if confirming it he reached up and wrapped his fingers around it tugging at it slightly before shoving them back in his pocket. Your eyes roamed his chest and seen the handkerchief neatly folded in his pocket.

He looked amazing. ‘I-uh-hi’ Spencer smiled and then drew his lips into his mouth. ‘Hey, wow Spencer, you look- the suit really suits you’ At that he chuckled giving a shrug. ‘Thanks, I’ve never seen you in a dress before’ His eyes took you in and you felt a small blush coloured your cheeks. ‘I like it, you should wear them more often’ You laughed slightly stepping aside to allow him inside. ‘I would but not exactly the most practical attire for an agent’ Spencer opened and closed his mouth as he walked by you.

He pulled his hand out of his pocket to rub the side of his nose. ‘Right, I-i didn’t think of that’ You closed the door behind him. ‘It was sweet though, thank you Penny’ You smiled and stepped closer to him and pushed yourself up to press a kiss to his cheek. ‘I’m going to grab a water, you want anything?’ You asked and he shook his head his eyes slightly wide. You smiled at him before rushing off to the kitchen.

You giggled as Spencer laughed slightly beside you. Since leaving the house he had gotten a little less nervous and calmed. You glanced down at the sidewalk. It was only then that you noticed that he was wearing proper brown shoes and not his usual converse. Wow, he really tried. ‘I’ve never been in your apartment before’ He mused glancing down at you. ‘What you’d expect?’ You asked as you reached out brushing your fingers over his arm.

The small gesture didn’t go unnoticed by him and his eyes fell to his arm before coming back to you. ‘What do you mean?’ You laughed. ‘Reid, we’ve worked together for a while now, don’t tell me you haven’t profiled me. With that comes what my apartment would be like’ You smiled up at him. He shook his head. ‘No, of course not-I mean-I haven’t profiled you, no’ You smirked. ‘I’ve done it to you’ You shrugged. ‘You’ve pictured my apartment?’ His eyebrows shot up.

You nodded. ‘Clean, organised, lots of books’ You glanced up at him. ‘And I mean lots, simple, nothing extravagant. Maybe some kind of intellectual game somewhere-’ You smiled. ‘Chess, I have a chess board’ He nodded. ‘So I’m right?’ He nodded with a smile. ‘I got Derek’s right as well’ You beamed proudly. ‘You’ve been to Derek’s?’ Spencer tilted his head at you his eyebrows furrowed. ‘Yeah, I mean, like once I dropped him home after a case he invited me in’ You shrugged.

Spencer nodded. ‘You two make a good team’ He said quietly. ‘Yeah, I guess we do, but he can sure get annoying’ You laughed. ‘I was always under the impression that the two of you would become romantically involved’ He shrugged. You glanced up at him with a timid smile. 

You reached out and wrapped your arm around his gripping his bicep as you leaned into him. ‘Yeah but I ended up on a date with our Reid instead. Between you and me, I definitely prefer this outcome’ That brought a wide smile to his face. ‘Yes, your house is what I pictured, although I would have imagines more family photo’s, you always make sure to talk to your family at the end of each day’ You smiled. ‘Yeah, I don’t like having them out around the house. They’re tucked away somewhere safe’ You explained.

He nodded. ‘Why? May I ask?’ You looked up at him to find him watching you with curiosity. ‘I once knew an agent, an unsub targeted him for some reason. One day he came home his entire flat in ruins and only one thing was missing. A photo of his family. They were tortured and almost murdered after that. It’s a safety precaution’ You shrugged when you seen him nodding understandingly. ‘I mean, we piss a lot of people off’ Spencer reached over and patted your hand. ‘I understand. We’re here’ He pulled you to a stop

Looking up you found you were indeed outside a restaurant. It was a small one you had been meaning to go to but never got around to it. ‘I wanted to go here’ You smiled as Reid opened the door letting you in. ‘I remembered, you said it a few months ago about it just opening and you wanted to go, I thought I could bring you’ He pushed a strand of hair behind his ear with a soft smile. ‘Thank you’ You smiled.

He nodded turning to the host. ‘Uhm, Reid, I have a table booked’ The man behind the counter nodded and picked up two menus. ‘Right this way’ You reached out grabbing a hold of Spencer’s arm looking up at him with a large smile as he chuckled leading you into the restaurant.

You nodded swallowing another bite of your food. ‘Oh god Reid, you are the best’ You said with a moan. ‘This is literally the best food I’ve ever tasted’ Spencer looked up at you smiling slightly. ‘I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself’ He had relaxed a great deal since you had come in and sat down, it was probably the look of awe and excitement that made him realise he had done well. He wasn’t as bad at this as he thought. ‘Enjoying it?’ You scoffed. ‘It’s not even over and I can tell you this is the best date I’ve ever been on’ You chuckled.

It was quiet for a moment as you looked down at your plate  taking another forkful. ‘Really?’ His voice was slightly higher than usual. You glanced up and nodded eagerly. ‘You got us a table at a restaurant I’ve been dying to try since it opened, first, major brownie points, second, it really shows you listen and care. You paid enough attention to remember this and then find it and get us a table’ You reached across the table and laid you hand on his.

His eyes widened slightly and you almost cursed realising what you had done. ‘So-’ You were about to pull your hand away when he turned his over and grasped yours in his keeping a firm grip on it. ‘I’m glad you like it’ He smiled and you could almost feel your heart swell out of your chest.

After a moment of just sitting looking t each other you giggled. ‘You should wear glasses more often Penny, they’re good on you’ Spencer blushed lightly looking down at his plate pushing his food around. ‘Thank you’ You smiled giving his hand a squeeze before retracting it going back to your dinner.

You leaned your head on Spencer’s shoulder as he walked you home. The two of you had spent almost two hours in the restaurant and then he had brought you to the movies. ‘I think I have found my new favourite restaurant of all time’ You sighed and felt him squeeze your hand. ‘You believe it was that good?’ Spencer smiled down at you even though you didn’t see. ‘It was amazing, delicious. But the best thing was you brought me’ You smiled tilting your head back looking at him.

He chuckled. ‘I never realised you were so romantic’ You shrugged. ‘I’ve had a great night Penny’ You sighed as you seen your apartment building come into view. ‘I have too’ You smiled. ‘You want to come inside? You can analyse my house further’ You teased remembering he had admitted he had tried to take every detail in earlier. Spencer blushed and you giggled. He reached up and rubbed the side of his nose again.

You shouldered him lightly. ‘I was joking but the offer still stands’ Spencer smiled opening his mouth but then both your phones went off. At exactly the same time, which could only mean one thing. Work. You groaned and pulled away from him pulling out your phone. ‘Hotch’ You sighed reading the message it sounded urgent. ‘Wait here, I’m going to go grab my badge and gun then I’ll drive you to yours so you can grab you things’ You told him

You turned striding to the door. Pausing you shook your head turning around and walking back over to him. You grabbed his tie pulling him down to you. You lips met his and you felt him tense. But then he relaxed his arms wrapping around you. Your other hand reached up tangling in his growing hair pulling him closer to you.

You let your tongue slide out and ran it over his lower lip. For a fraction of a second he tensed but then his tongue came out to meet yours. You felt his hand on the side of your face as he held you to him makinging the kiss more intense and passionate.

Finally you pulled away breathing heavily. ‘I had to, just in case we didn’t get to’ You whispered. ‘I don’t mind, I enjoyed it.’ You nodded. ‘Then we should do it again sometime, not just the kiss, the whole evening’ You smiled and pulled away from him pressing a quick kiss to his jaw before running up the steps towards you flat.

The both of you strode into the office, neither of you had decided to change seeing as you both had extra clothes here and it would save time. ‘Where are they?’ You heard Hotch call. ‘Right here boss’ You strode in the door Reid following behind you. ‘You two aren’t dressed for a night at home’ Garcia glanced at you both. Unusual to see her out of her office. ‘It’s Saturday, we had plans’ You shrugged laying down your bag. ‘Must have been important for you both to get so dressed up’ JJ contributed. ‘Some kind of get together? You two go out with friends?’ Morgan laughed at her conclusion

He nudged her. ‘Nawh JJ, it was just the two of them I’m guessing’ You turned and glared at Morgan. ‘Spencer took me to a nice restaurant I’ve been wanting to go to for months and it was lovely’ You grabbed your clothes shoving them into a bag, you’d change on the plane. ‘A date? As in a date? You finally asked her out?’ Garcia’s voice rose a few octaves. 

Reid nodded shyly. ‘Best date ever’ You looked up giving him a smile. He looked back at you giving you a smile in return. ‘Atta boy pretty boy, come on’ Morgan patted him on the shoulder turning him away from you and towards the conference room. ‘I want every detail’ Garcia squealed and squeezed you elbow before trotting off down the hall.

You smiled and followed the boys with JJ towards your conference room. ‘Hey Morgan’ You heard as you walked in. ‘What’s a good idea for a second date?’ You beamed as you sat down across from him and he looked over and smiled at you a small twinkle in his eye.

A second date, if it was half as good as the first it’d be perfect.
