As the jet landed back home the team packed up and headed out to their homes except for Spencer, who stayed behind at the office. As Spencer entered the bullpen and plopped down in his seat he began thinking to himself who was this Will guy? Well sure he saw him he knows he's arbitrarily good-looking, has a slight accent (which he was told woman like), he wasn't the strongest looking (granted he would definitely lose in a fight against him) and well he was well...he didn't actually know that much. Nor did he want to. It would only acknowledge all the reasons she chose Will over him. And just the very thought hurt. He wasn't good enough for the one person he wanted so desperately to be no matter how hard he tried.
And He felt he really knew and understood her more than anyone especially Will who she basically just met. Whenever she was feeling sad or having a rough morning Spencer always brought her coffee just the way she liked it with the good creamer she liked so much. He knew how to cheer her up even when it got serious he was always there when she needed a shoulder to cry on or just a friend to listen. A best friend even yeah, he was always great at being a friend for everybody nothing more nothing less. He could be the best friend to Derek. Always the butt of his jokes and rarely ever complained about it, could keep up and in his opinion beat Morgan's pranks, and no matter what he would always be there for him as he would for him. With Garcia, he could always geek out with Garcia over any and every Doctor and shockingly he could share deep secrets with her and knows no matter how many times she teases him she wouldn't tell. And Emily, was a bumpy start but they became close and he appreciated her love of literature and old movies. Hotch was different because he was the boss and there were limits but, he was a confidant and the young man respected him greatly. Gideon was the father he never had and no matter what he would always have a special place in his heart for the wayward man.
But when it came to JJ best friends just wasn't good enough. Needless to say, Spencer has always been grateful for her friendship and support he just never thought of her the same and realized he never would no matter how hard he tried. And believe me, he had tried even before Will. He tried endlessly to forget her stupidly perfect smile that lit up her whole face every time. Wanted to forget the way she brushed her hair behind her ear when she was interested in something or how he wanted to do it for her. How she wrinkled her nose up in that cute way when she was really focused and concentrating on a case or a crossword puzzle they'd solve together. Even though Spencer knew he could finish it on his own faster even but, he enjoyed her company too much and would do anything to spend more time with her.
He never believed she would pick him but when she picked Will it was the icing on the cake. She picked someone that was as far as he could tell the exact opposite of him.
"Hey what are you still doing here" a soft voice startled him out of his rather self-deprecating musing. Without turning around Spencer knew it was JJ, her unmistakably angelic voice was music to his ears and he would recognize it anywhere. Turning around his breath caught in his throat as her piercing blue pools of perfection met his dark hazel eyes. Her golden blonde tresses falling in her face as she stared back at him. Realizing he was starring his cheeks began to heat as he muttered "Oh uh hi JJ I was just um" he looked back at his desk and began shuffling his case files "um reading over some case stuff" he finished lamely knowing she wouldn't buy it. "oh, um okay" JJ replied brows raised "well I know you didn't really want to go out but, Garcia is going and Morgan insists it will be somewhere classy, a nice restaurant and I'd really love if you came" she finishes squeezing his shoulder gently. And just like that he had no choice well maybe he did but how could he just say no to JJ. "yeah um of course" Spencer agrees.
"Well Morgan's unofficially bringing Garcia so I thought I'd bring Will and you guys can meet him...anyway see you there" and as an afterthought, she shouts over her shoulder "And you better not stay here too late Spence I mean it!" as she walks away. Morgan says it's a fancy restaurant...so he would essentially be having dinner with the girl of his dreams...and her new boyfriend. Yeah, why did he agree to this? That's right she flashed one of her gorgeous smiles and touched his shoulder. Now...he'd have to endure a whole night of watching JJ laugh and just be happy with her boyfriend. Watch her be happy with somebody that wasn't him. To say Spencer was begrudging his decision would be a huge understatement.
