Hey guys! So this is my second Criminal Minds story, my pairing of choice is Prentiss/Reid of course. This is a Halloween story so I hope you guys enjoy! Review!
It was October 31st and Emily really felt like killing Reid at that very moment. They had made an interesting deal awhile back that she had completely forgotten about and she was now dealing with the consequences of that. Reid and Emily were always competing at something and about a month back, when they were out at the bar having drinks with the team, they decided to play some darts and turn it into a bet. Finally around two am, when the bar was closing, they settled on a tie after both won two games each. The deal was that the winner got to choose the other persons Halloween costume for Rossi's annual Halloween party and they had to wear it through the night no matter what. Since it ended on a tie they decided to simply buy each other's costumes. Emily drove to her condo after work Halloween night and seen none other than Spencer Reid waiting on her porch with a couple of bags in his hands.
"What are you doing here Reid? I thought we were meeting up at the party. Why aren't you in a costume by the way?" Emily said and Reid laughed.
"You forgot didn't you? That changes things a little."
Reid continued laughing and Emily stood there, completely confused until all of the memories of the bar and their deal came rushing back to her.
"Oh no! I forgot all about it! I'm so dumb!" Emily exclaimed.
"Yeah I kind of figured that you did since you haven't said a word about it the past couple of weeks. That makes this so much sweeter. Don't worry I brought myself a costume as well and I bought you one too. I thought it might be fun if we match."
Emily thought to herself for a moment then figured her costume couldn't be to bad if they were going to be matching. She led him inside and told him to make himself at home while she showered.
"Wait, don't you want your costume?" He quickly asked her.
"Uh that depends. How bad is it?"
"Hey I could have bought something way worse then what I did." Reid told her and extended his arm to give Emily the bag. She reluctantly took it and peeked inside.
"You've got to be kidding. I should have guessed." She said and laughed a little.
"What? It's a great costume, admit it. And you're going to look amazing in it."
"Awe thank you Reid. But that doesn't mean you had to buy the sexy version."
"Would you believe me if I said it's the only one they had left?" He asked.
"Not a chance." Emily told him and smiled.
She took the bag and headed to her bathroom. Reid laughed and went to grab a drink from the fridge while he waited for her to get ready. Emily quickly showered and got ready so she didn't keep Reid waiting. When she was done she stared at herself in the mirror for what felt like an eternity until she heard a knock on the door.
"Em, are you alright?" Reid asked.
"Yeah fine."
"Then why aren't you coming out?" He asked her gently.
"Because I'm embarrassed."
"Why would you be embarrassed? I'm sure you look great. Can I see? Please?"
Emily slowly opened the door and Reid's eyes got huge. He looked her up and down before taking a very deep breath.
"You look…so amazing. I mean…wow."
"Reid shut up. I look ridiculous."
"You can't honestly think that, I mean look at you! You're gorgeous!" Reid said.
Emily didn't fight him anymore she just smiled and felt herself blush a little. Reid took her hand and led her back to the living room so he could get a better look at her.
"Can I shop or what." He said as he winked at her. "I also got shoes and an authentic wig."
"Shoes yes, wig no. I'm pretty sure I can get my hair the right way."
"Alright but you better, the fantasy is all about the buns."
"Princess Leia did have some great hair." She joked.
Emily looked at herself in the hall mirror and had to agree with Reid. She did look pretty amazing. The pure white gown ran all the way down to the floor except there was a slit up the skirt that ended at the top of her thigh. And if that wasn't enough, the top showed so much cleavage that Emily was worried about a wardrobe malfunction. The sleeves were long and for that she was grateful, at least she had some cover since it was cold outside.
"So are you going to get dressed?" She asked. "We have to leave soon."
"Yes, I will do that now my princess. I'll be right out."
Reid grabbed the other bag and retreated to the bathroom. Emily went to work at her hair knowing that if it wasn't perfect there would be hell to pay. It didn't take very long and Emily was amazed at how good it looked. She heard the bathroom door open behind her and was very excited to see how Reid looked as Luke Skywalker.
"Luke I am your father." Reid said in a monotone voice as he walked out. Emily stared at him not knowing what to say about the sight before her.
"Reid what the hell! You're supposed to be Luke Skywalker! I thought we were going to match!"
Reid was startled by how angry she was so he quickly took off his helmet to try and explain.
"I already had the Darth Vader costume and we still kind of match. I'm sorry Emily. I thought it would be fun." Reid said while looking at his feet.
"Oh yeah, this is what you wore last year! You can't wear the same costume!"
"Ummm why not?" He asked her.
"Because it's a costume party, it's cheating. Were going shopping Spencer Reid, right now!"
