The first time they met.
It wasn't destiny, or the power of unstoppable love that made Spencer Reid knock down Danielle's ice cream all over her Star Wars t-shirt. It wasn't some soul mate stuff or 'imprinting', or any other unusual force that brought these two people to bump into each other in planet Earth, home of almost 7 billion habitants. It wasn't a coincidence. It was Dr. Reid's lack of coordination. Full stop.
'Ohh, mother of…' – Danielle whispered, exhaling her anger over the skinny guy who had completely ruined her favorite t-shirt. He was trying to help her getting up, pulling her left hand. The guy with dirty blonde hair had a pair of big hazel eyes, and he was tall. He was wearing a white shirt and a purple tie, matching a pair of brownish caqui pants. He kept mumbling sorry, while pushing his hair back constantly.
In a normal situation she would fancy him – he was cute – but her anger was already on full boost since she had woken up. She had an exam today, at law school. All explained.
So, his amiable looks had nothing to do whatsoever with the tragedy facing her.
'I'm sorry. I'm so stupid… hum, I was reading and … how can I help you? ' – Reid mumbled, genuinely worried. She just sighed and looked at him with a' ready to kick your ass Bruce Lee face', that scared the young profiler to step out.
' Thanks, but you've done enough, ok? Next time try to look at the people around you. My day is already bad without you knocking me down.' – She shrugged him off, escaping through the crowd in the metro station.
Spencer Reid began reuniting his folders, but his gaze kept following the girl's silhouette. She ran over the stairs, climbing them as quickly as she could. She was slim, and had long dark brown hair. Her eyes were the darkest colour he had ever seen. She was cute, although he felt intimidated by her temper.
Before he stood up, his left arm massaged his abdomen region.
' Did I eat something bad? Looks like I have butterflies inside my stomach. ' – he let out, running just like her, to the BAU.
