A/N: This was an idea that was floating around in my head for a while so I decided to finally write it out...as always a huge thank you to Hallie (psychedoutpineapple) for reviewing this! Hope you enjoy it...

"Reid, are ya coming tonight or what?" Morgan asked.

"Yeah, Reid, come on, it'll be fun. Everyone's except Rossi is coming, even Hotch, so please will you come?" Garcia begged.

"I-I don't know, I really need to finish this paper and going out isn't really my thing and-"

"JJ is coming," Garcia interrupted in a sing-song voice.

"S-So?" Reid tried to appear nonchalant, his eyes shifting back and forth between the couple in front of him.

"Pretty boy you don't have to do this. It's just us in here," Morgan said, gesturing around Garcia's cave.

"I know, it's just-I'm not used to sharing things with people, it's always just been me and I know that you guys are going to say that the team is my family and I can always talk to you but I-I just can't come out like some of you guys can."

"That's okay Reid," Garcia said, her voice becoming softer as she pressed a hand to his shoulder.

"I've liked her ever since the day she left," he confessed quietly. "I mean, I always considered her my best friend but I never really realized how much I needed her here until she was gone. I thought she would never come back so I gave up and even when she did, there was the whole Emily thing. I felt like we had gotten closer once she had 'died', after I came to her house every night but then there was the small problem of Will and then we were fighting once Emily came back. Then Will and JJ split up but I didn't want to just be the 'rebound' guy, I didn't want to barge into a broken family that I probably wasn't wanted in," Reid finished, looking down at his feet.

"Reid, you just need to give her some time, which you've been doing, I'm almost positive that she feels the same way. Are you sure you don't want to come out for drinks, help get your mind off of things?"

"Yeah," he said hesitantly, a weak smile gracing his features. "I think I will."

"Did you hear that?!" Garcia squealed as Reid left her office.

"Of course I heard it," Morgan said laughing.

"We totally need to set them up! Reid's obviously not going to make the first move and JJ won't think he likes her back so we would have to do this all again or we could just set them up and it would all be good."

"How do you suggest we go about this?" Morgan said with an amused smile.

"Okay, so here's what we do…"

"I think another round of drinks is in order. Hotch, come help me?" Morgan asked his boss.

"Yeah," he replied easily, already being filled in on the plan Garcia had cooked up.

Emily, seeing the men at the bar, started speaking. "Hey, Garcia, I really have to go to the bathroom, you comin'?"

"Sure," she replied, Emily already dragging her out of her seat.

JJ and Reid sat in an awkward silence, waiting for one of the pairs to return. "S-So how's Henry?" Reid cautiously asked.

JJ stared off into the distance, momentarily mesmerized by the thought of her son before answering the question at hand. "Good, really good actually. He took everything a lot better than I thought he would. Will and I broke it off before things got bad so he still comes by to see him but it's just not the same as it used to be. I want a proper family for him, I really do, one with loving parents and that just couldn't happen with Will. Not when there's somebody else," she muttered the last few words, eyes downcast towards what was remaining of her drink. Two rounds were more than enough for her. She rarely ever drank and now look at what happened, she was already spewing her feelings when she would normally keep everything to herself.

Reid looked at her wide-eyed but she was saved from further explanation as Morgan and Hotch came back with the drinks.

"Em, Jayje, ya wanna dance?" Garcia asked, her words slightly slurring.

"Sure," JJ voiced, Emily echoing as they walked out to the dance floor.

"Hotch? Reid?" Morgan asked.

"No…No thanks, I don't really dance."

"C'mon kid, it'll be fun,"

"I don't know…"

"Are you sure? One last chance."

"Yeah…I'm good just watching."

"Okay," Morgan said reluctantly. "Come join us anytime."

Reid watched the team, particularly JJ, dance as many upbeat songs played. He was bored, that much was obvious but he still didn't have a strong desire to go dancing.

He sat in contemplation for a few minutes before walking out to join his teammates. "Can I join you guys?"

"Reid, my man, you came to join the fun," Morgan smiled before nodding to Garcia. "Well, I for one am going to dance with my baby girl," he said as Garcia sauntered back.

"Hotch?" Emily asked. "You wanna dance?"

"It will be my pleasure," he said, extending his hand towards Emily.

"Spence?" JJ asked.

"S-Sure…yeah, sure," he said as the previous song came to a close.

He mentally cursed himself for falling right into Garcia and Morgan's plan as the technical analyst's choice flowed throughout the room. 'A slow song, of course it would be a slow song'

"You still want to dance? I mean since it's a slower song and all, you don't have to. I-I'll just go," Reid rambled on, starting to walk off the dance floor.

"Spence," JJ said quietly, her hand grasping onto his wrist, a smile gracing her features. "I'd love to dance."

"Really?" he asked incredulously.

"Yes really, come here, I'll show you how to do it," she grabbed a hold of his other wrist, bringing them around and placing them on the small of her back. She released his hands, her own going around his neck. She started to gently sway to the music, her head resting on his shoulder.

Garcia and Morgan danced by, Garcia squealing in delight at the sight of her friends, Hotch and Emily smiling as they looked over.

"I think we were set up," JJ whispered in his ear.

"I should have guessed. I kinda spilled to the two of them in her office earlier about how I felt, I should have know that they would never just leave me be."

"And what exactly did you spill?"

"That I've known that I've liked you since the day you left but things kept getting in the way and I just couldn't bring myself to do anything about it but Morgan and Garcia were convinced that you liked me too I just couldn't believe them and I really shouldn't have said that so I-I'll just-"

"Spence," JJ interrupted, pulling back so she could look him in the eyes. "Garcia and Morgan were right," she uttered.

"W-What?" he stuttered, shock and surprise showing on his face.

"I like you Spence," she stated clearly for the young genius' benefit. "I always have, I thought I liked Will and maybe I did for a while, I don't know but there was always something that wasn't right. Then I found out about Henry so we both kind of felt obligated to make it work but we just couldn't take it anymore and I found out why," she finished.

"And?" Reid asked, clearly confused. "Why couldn't you take it anymore?"

JJ's laugh rang out over the dance floor as the song came to a close. "It could never work with Will because I realized that I had liked you the whole time,"

"B-But why?"

"Why what?"

"Why do you like me?"

"Why wouldn't I?"

"B-Because I'm…me, why not Morgan or Hotch or…or even Rossi?"

"Well, first of all Rossi is old enough to be my father," she said, earning a weak smile from Reid. "And how many times do I have to say it? I want you Spence and before you start putting yourself down thinking of all the so-called negative aspects of yourself hear me out,"

"O-Okay,"

"You're my best friend, Spence, plus you're nice and caring and everything someone could want-"

"No I'm not, I'm geeky, I'm a nerd, I'm defiantly not as handsome as Morgan, I have absolutely no skill with 'the ladies' as he puts it either, there's nothing that anyone would see in me."

"Spence," JJ sighed, running a hand through her curled hair. "Why can't you see it? You're none of those things, granted you may be a nerd but we all love ya for it," she said with a smile, ruffling his hair. She saw him smile before she started speaking again. "Spence," she said her tone serious once again. "How about dinner on Thursday?"

"L-Like a date?"

"Yeah Spence, a date."

"But I-I've never really been on a date or anything so I'm not really sure if this is a good idea or-" he was cut off as JJ reached up and pressed a kiss to his cheek.

"We'll take it at your pace Spence, we don't have to rush anything and I'm sure you'll get lots of help," she said with a smile, nodding to Garcia and Morgan who were dancing just close enough to hear every word that was said.

"Okay, Thursday night then," he said, a genuine smile finally making its way across his face.

JJ led him off of the dance floor, her arm around his waist, his around her shoulder, fully intending to keep the promise she made and take it at Reid's pace. Little did she know that two other agents had a very different plan for the couple.
