**KK, well this is my first fanfic, in general, and I was looking at some about Reid (the really REALLY HOT nerdy one) an decided that if I ever should write a fanfic, it had to be about HIM! Cause, he's hot. Any who, this story is pretty basic, and it won't involve TONS of BAU action, but a case will intertwine itself with the main story. This first chap is sort of the back cover of the book, a little taste of what could come. Enjoy.**

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Spencer Reid, or Criminal Minds.

It was a standard day at the BAU, for Dr. Spencer Reid at least. He has been pretty up beat lately, his headaches have softened and become less frequent, he has been focused on work, and importantly, and most troublesome, he hasn't rambled all week. The entire team had no clue, Reid was always the hardest to read, because he's the most avid reader.

He knows why he's been happier. Why he's been pleasant non-stop. Why he's tolerated the consistent teasing from Morgan. He also knows what no one else on the team knows.

Dr. Reid has a girlfriend.
