Hey everyone! This is just a little response to tonight's episode. Hope you enjoy. Many thanks to ordinarymistake for helping me with titling and with the wording! :) Read and review, folks! XOXO-FirefliesFlash
Dr. Spencer Reid walked up the stairs to his girlfriend's apartment. He had asked Teagan on a date earlier in the week, but had to cancel because of a case in Milwaukee where a man was infecting his victims with rabies. He rapped on the door and he heard McDuffie, her West Highland White Terrier, barking.
"Get back, Duffers," she stated in her Southern drawl. "Get back." She paused for a moment before she opened the door. He was surprised to find her in her pajamas, some flannel pants with penguins on them and his CalTech hoodie. It was only 7 p.m. He had planned to surprise her with an invitation to dinner and a movie.
"Spencer!" She exclaimed, a slight grin on her face. "What are you doing here?"
"I, um, wanted to see if you wanted to go to dinner, but I see you're prepared for bed."
"Well, I wasn't planning on company this evening. Lily's out on a date with Jared, so I was planning on watching a really cheesy romantic movie and going to bed early. I was just about to make a Lean Cuisine, but since you're here, we can order takeout. I just hope you don't mind me looking like a bum."
"Don't be silly. You look beautiful and takeout sounds delicious." He stepped inside her apartment, closing the door behind him. McDuffie jumped down from the couch and began dancing around his ankles, begging for attention. He knelt down to scratch the dog behind the ears.
"Spencer! What happened to your face?" she exclaimed, clapping her hands over her mouth.
"Oh it's nothing, Sweetheart," he said reassuringly. "Just a few superficial wounds. Morgan got attacked by an UnSub and I stepped in to help."
"That looks awful, Magic Man. Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine," he stated. Teagan frowned, stepping towards him. She placed her hand gingerly against his injured cheek.
"How's Morgan?"
"He got a few burns on his chest, but he'll be fine."
"Ouch!" She exclaimed, frowning again. "Poor Morgan! I'm just glad the both of you are safe." She reached up and pulled his face towards hers, kissing him lightly on the lips.
"So you took down the UnSub?" she asked, a tone of surprise in her voice.
"I did," he said, grinning sheepishly. "All that working out has paid off, I think."
"I think so too," she replied with a slight chuckle. "Now c'mon my Genius Superman. Let's go order some takeout and watch an episode of Doctor Who." She linked her arm with his, leading him to the couch. He smiled slightly. He couldn't think of a more perfect ending to a very miserable day.
