Gideon and Reid were playing chess on the plane.
"Checkmate in three." Gideon claimed moving his piece.
"What?" Reid looked back over at Gideon. Gideon looked over at where Reid had been gazing and saw Tessa asleep with a book in her lap. He chuckled lightly before returning his attention back to the board, "let's reset the pieces." Again the two began to play.
"Do you know out of all the people we chase, they all have one missing component." Gideon began.
"Humanity?" Reid asked.
"That's a part of it, but a small part, the more important part is one very important thing."
"What's that?"
"Love." Gideon smiled softly, "love is the very thing that makes us human, and if we are ever fortunate enough to find it? We should never let it go." Reid nodded slowly thinking about Gideon's words, slowly his head turned back to Tessa and his heart fluttered.

My eyes opened and I sat up slowly as the plane was preparing to land.
"Alright everyone, go home and get some sleep." Hotch said before enticing the plan, "good work everyone."
Everyone had gotten their packs and were heading to their separate cars.
"Tessa, hey."
I stopped as Reid walked over.
"Hey Spence." I smiled.
"Are you uh, are you tired?" He asked. I shook my head.
"Not really, why?"
"Come on, I've got a surprise." He smiled before grabbing my hand and leading me towards his car.
"Where are we going?" I asked confused. Reid grabbed my bag and out into the bag.
"It's a surprise. You'll like it, I promise." He replied before climbing into the driver's seat.
"Okay." I nodded laughing lightly before climbing into the passenger seats. He began to drive, the city was quiet. We talked throughout the car ride about obscure topics that simply popped into our heads.
"Spence…where are we?" Looking around as he parked the car I found we were at a forest park.
"You'll see, come on we gotta go up to the top." He smiled before getting out of the car. Slowly we began to walk up the path that lead us to the top of the hill..
"Okay." Reid stopped near the top, "close your eyes."
"Okay…" I shut my eyes. I felt his hand take mine and we continued to walk up the hill. I felt the ground even out.
"You can open your eye now." He spoke gently. Slowly I opened my eyes and gasped at the scene before me, "woah."
"Pretty cool huh?" Reid smiled at me. The sky before us was scattered with white floating lanterns.
"How did you-" I stared the sight before me.
"It's a tradition for the campsite below us. We got back in time, I guessed you might like it." He answered.
"Yeah." I smiled. I felt his hand tighten around mine, I glanced at him to find him staring back at me.
"Amaranthine." Reid spoke softly.
"Undying…immortal…-" I was cut off by Spencer softly setting his lips on mine. He pulled away after a moment, "sorry." He mumbled softly.
"Don't be." I shook my head before slowly leaning forward to kiss him back. I let him smile against the kiss before pulling away and pulled me closer.
"I swear to love you all my life." He whispered.
