"Spencer! You're home. I thought you weren't going to be home for another few days."
"We caught a break in the case. The unsub made a mistake." The small brunette smiles up at her live in beau; she reaches a hand out to hold his arm.
"Well I'm glad you're home early. I missed you." She steadies herself with a hand on each of his forearms and shifts to her tip toes; he leans down a bit to meet his lips to hers.
"I missed you too Ella." She keeps her hand on his arm even after she lowers herself to the flat of her feet. He's been gone nearly a week and she always wants to feel him when he's home.
"Did you eat? We could get something," she stops talking and just smiles up at him, he pulls her against him and he kisses the top of her head.
Dr. Spencer Reid wasn't exactly known for being cuddly, but he knew that she worried about him when he was gone and that the physical contact helped reassure that he was home and safe, so he cuddled with her. It helped that he was in love with her, and that he had been since he'd met her 7 years ago.
"What were you going to do tonight?" He asks with her still against the front of his button up, he can feel her hands balling in the fabric, and see in the quick blink of her eye that his work is starting to affect her, the worrying has started to give her wrinkles around her eyes. Her face has flushed a bit pink.
"I was going to nuke some trader Joes macaroni and cheese and watch Harry Potter." She was embarrassed about her obsession with Harry Potter, Spencer had tried to explain why she was so fixated on the series. He'd spoken about her parents' divorce and her lack of close friends, and eventually, near tears she had asked in a whisper 'why can't I just like it?'
"Which one?" he'd never brought up her fascination with the children's series since he'd almost made her cry. She buries her head into his shirt again.
"All of them." Her voice is muffled from where her lips are pressed against the fabric.
"Want to order Chinese and watch them?" The question shocked her, while he hasn't brought up her obsession, and he even supported it to some extent, he never watched them with her. Her face lights up.
"Yeah, do you have 17 hours and 14 minutes?"
"I've got however long you need me Ella."
