Synopsis: Everyone knows Reid's job, but where does he venture to read all the books he buries his nose in? Oh and it would always take someone as soft as he is to catch his eyes.
A/N: This is not really going to follow any sort of Criminal Minds timeline because it is all quite wibbley to me. I have not watched all the seasons' yet only sporadic episodes, but I do hope to catch Spencer's personality through this story. As always let me know of any suggestions you may have. Happy reading!
He closed his sketchbook with weary eyes. The day had been taxing and the evening had proven itself even more so. The case today followed a little boy named Sammy. A little boy who may never communicate through speech, but had encouraged Spencer with such a force to go and purchase a keyboard. Sammy was locked in his own mind, but still managed to express things to people he trusted; at least Spence would like to think he was trusted. He had read on Autism before because Asperger's seemed to lurk on the back burner of his mind. He could express himself in a very verbose manner and was not too concerned. Playing with Sammy had struck a very personal cord in Spencer and he was not ready for that cord to dissipate. He would rather hold onto it because it was rare for him to connect silently to a person. He was normally trying to get his statistical scientific point of view across.
Spencer stood and his sweatpants slid fully down one leg. He placed his tea in the sink and ran his fingers through his hair as he trudged upstairs. Looking at his phone before he turned in for the night he read the text: Henry would really like to see you if you're interested in dinner tomorrow night. Daddy's gone for the evening so it would just be the three of us! He laughed, his absolute joy in life had become his best friends son. Henry possessed the same childlike wonder over dinosaurs that he did when it came to reading. I'd love to Jayje. What time? I'm going to pop into the bookstore tomorrow down here. Any books you would like him to start reading up on? Henry was slowly approaching the age where JJ wanted him to start reading. He already knew all of the letters so phonics would be next.
J: I dunno. What do kids start out reading? Dr. Suess? Lol.
S: I think he would like those. They do really enhance the imagination. Don't you already have one of those books for him?
J: Yeah, I have I Can Read With My Eyes Shut. You should know that. You let him cover your eyes every time. He really does think it is magic.
S: I have that effect on kids ;) I will pick up a few more when I'm there tomorrow.
J: Thanks, Spence. You are the best godfather ever.
S: Oh this I know. Ha!
J: Smartass. See you tomorrow, love you!
S: You too Jay. Night!
With that Spencer smiled and placed his phone on the charger just in case he was called in. Laying down he turned on an episode of Who to fall asleep with. He would never stop watching the show, but he did miss Tennant. Drifting off he thought of a certain bookworm he would be able to see tomorrow. He understood his connection to her, but it still baffled him that she never minded his quiet side. He fell asleep dreaming of a redheaded, lightly freckled and glasses clad little lady.
