Unspoken Love & Magic


Sitting there as the kiss was broken. Reid looked to JJ slowly the realization of the kiss occurred to him as he gave a gulp. A blush rising in his cheeks as he looked to her, unable to think of what to say, for the genius it was a first. He wasn't normally taken by surprise like this, yet he was the one that took control of it and made it happen. Though as he sat there, his mind registering it, he realized that she too had returned the kiss. did that mean something? the male's mind was running a thousand miles a minute and was beginning to show on his face. The confusion was quite readable as he finally snapped out of his thoughts and looked to her, gulping lightly "I-I... I'll leave you sleep..." he didn't know what to do, how to handle it "Have a good night, JJ." pulling from her grasp he got up and took another blanket out of the closet, taking up the two pillows he'd taken out for himself he headed out of the room. As did it seemed by luck the lights to turned on, giving him plenty of illumination to make his way to the living room to lay upon the couch and sleep for the night.

JJ looked to him and couldn't say anything as he quickly got up and excused himself. She glanced down and couldn't help but wear a disheartened look on her face. She could tell he was confused and regretted his own actions, and of course she couldn't blame him. She got up and slipped her shoes off by the bed and just kept her clothes on and laid on his bed and pulled the sheet over her. She couldn't stop feeling weird and she didn't know how to make it go away. She just kept the covers close to her and shut her eyes. How she was going to sleep, she had no idea. After parting to the living room, laying the pillows upon the couch Spencer laid down after removing his shoes and rested there. His mind still in a whirl of the events that had just taken place. Nearly an hour had passed and the male had managed to doze off into a light slumber. As he slept, he dreamed, as he dreamed he could only picture JJ in his dreams.

The next morning, JJ was still sleeping, though as it would be, she had dreams filled with Spencer. Of course she was sure it was only because he was the last person she saw last night and through most of the previous day. JJ felt so guilty and so foolish for kissing him, he clearly didn't mean to, or even want to kiss her. The blond sighed and shifted a bit as she moved to rest on her back, rather comfortable where she was in dreamland.

Like clockwork, his eyes snapped open around seven in the morning, getting up he ran his fingers through his hair as a yawn escaped his lips, stretching he reached up and rubbed his eyes, heading down the hallway he crept into the bedroom as not to wake JJ, he grabbed a few of his clothes and headed for his bathroom where he stripped out of his clothes, tossing them into the dirty clothes hamper, turning on the water he allowed it to warm up before stepping in. The water immediately drenching his hair, slowly cascading down his body, a sigh of contentment escaping the male's lips as he ran his fingers through his hair, his eyes closed as he grabbed his shampoo and began to bathe.

It didn't take long, until he was out and refreshed, dressed in a pair of khaki pants and a white collared shirt with his signature tie. Running a comb through his hair, he headed down the hall to begin breakfast for him and his guest. Upon hearing water, and not like the usual rain, JJ stirred and sat up, her hair a mess. She rubbed her eyes and looked around and noticed how different her room looked. It was then that the events of last night played in her head over and over until she felt her heart jolt at her own stupidity. She quickly got out of bed but wondered why it mattered. Her car wouldn't work, so she couldn't make a quick getaway. JJ just decided to face the music.

She first however, folded up the blankets she used and placed them on his bed. JJ then fixed her hair as best she could and decided to venture out and see what Spencer was up to. It was all sort of surreal, she waking up in his house, them accidentally kissing, them sharing pie and drinks. JJ could have sworn she was being punk'd or in The Twilight Zone. But as much as she hoped, she was awake. "Hey..." She said, walking into the kitchen, though avoiding his face for internal obvious reasons.

As he stood at his stove cooking up some French toast for breakfast, her voice rang in his eyes as he looked to her giving a smile "Morning, JJ. I hope you slept well." he spoke in a somewhat chipper mood. He had done quite a bit of contemplating in the shower and had come up with the solution that the more thank likely had to of been a dream. For it was the only way his 'genius' mind would allow him to sleep peacefully. After finishing the cooking he served it up on two plates and set down a cup of coffee for each of them. "I took the liberty of calling a repair man over to look at your car, he should be here within the hour" he smiled to her as he sat down.

She had no earthly idea why he wasn't nervous. She wondered if last night even happened. She sat down. "Thank you..." JJ said slowly. She attempted to even glance at him but found herself unable to. She sighed and sipped her coffee. Maybe she appeared calm and under control, but on the inside she felt like a basket case. JJ was sure they kissed, but she didn't want to bring up that matter with Reid. She bit her lip and would wait for him to sit down before she would start to eat. His French toast did smell wonderful. "You seem to spoil your spontaneous guests, don't you?" She attempted to smile.

Seeing that she wasn't quite herself he gave her a concerned look but soon smiled. As he sat down to eat, he looked to her upon hearing her statement "Well it's rare that I get guests. I do however wish to make them as comfortable as possible." he smiled to her while preparing his coffee with sugar and cream before taking a drink. JJ just nodded and tried her best to act natural. Her car was soon fixed and she was out of Reid's hair.

That Monday, JJ was heading into work as usual, once she arrived; she made a beeline right for the coffee. As much as she wished for her weekend to be relaxing, it wasn't. She saw Elle there and decided she had to come clean to someone. "Elle, I need to tell you something." JJ said as she looked around for anyone else who might overhear.

"Sure, what is it?" Elle asked.

"Um…well…" Now JJ was having difficulty saying it. "Reid and I kissed." She finally said and Elle's lips turned into a grin.

"Really? Tell me everything that happened." She smiled and JJ rolled her eyes.

"No, no….drinking was involved…for him mostly so…I don't think he meant anything by it."

"But did you?"

"Um…maybe…I don't know…no. I was just…confused." JJ muttered.

"What's he like when he's been drinking?" Elle asked who got an annoyed look from JJ. "Sorry, so what are you going to do?"

"I don't know, I can't face him…" JJ sighed as Hotch glanced to them and just seemed to lurk. The two females exchanged looks and went back to sipping their coffee as they waited for the boys to come in. JJ didn't have a case yet, but she knew Hotch wanted to get her some help with her online courses, JJ just hoped it wasn't going to be with Reid. If so, she would probably just die. Of course it was also then, that Elle decided to maybe try and put some pressure on Reid and JJ. Maybe there was something there, and perhaps she and Derek could do some devious helping.

As Monday morning rolled around, Spencer had grown out of the habit of waking up to an alarm, though as he laid there, passed out due to exhaustion his alarm rang right next to his ear. A groan escaped his lips as his brown eyes slowly opened, looking to the alarm that was buzzing, he tiredly reached over and slammed it off before closing his eyes and deciding he did have to get up and move about his day.

After showering, the male dressed in a pair of jeans and signature collared shirt with his tie. Running a comb through his hair he grabbed his book bag with his laptop in it as well as a few books and headed to his car where drove off to work. Within no time he had parked in the parking lot and headed off to the elevator, waiting for it to stop at his destination. Upon reaching the designated floor, he slowly stepped out of the elevator making his way over to his cubicle.

Dropping off his book bag, books, and jacket at his desk he picked up his mug and headed off to the coffee pot, seeing Elle, JJ, and Hotch he bid good morning to them before wedging between the girls and pouring himself a cup of coffee "Hope your weekend went well, ladies." he smiled to them then looked to JJ for a moment, remembering his dream he felt a flush in his cheeks and quickly turned away, making his way back to his desk.

Of course that comment didn't help the mood JJ was in, she just took her coffee and walked off. Elle smiled to Reid, trying to imagine him having a tender romantic moment. It was quite hard so she gave up. Hotch had snagged JJ before she could hide in her office. "Reid, I need to ask you something." He said as JJ glanced off, a bit annoyed.

Spencer had sat down at his desk opening one of the folders to a previous case and began to type up his theory on it and so forth, updating the files, though as Hotch and JJ neared. He removed his hands from the keyboard and slowly turned his attention to the two "Yes?" he asked while looking to the male then to JJ. What could it be? Ah well, he'd find out soon enough, though he smiled to the two "What can I help you with?"

"JJ is talking some online courses in criminology and profiling and I would like you to help her." Hotch said and JJ hid her look of protest. This was the last thing she wanted now, especially from someone who was giving her mixed signals.

"You know, maybe Elle can help instead..." JJ said slowly. "I'm sure Dr. Reid is very busy." She said, hoping there wasn't a tone in those words as she spoke.

As Hotch spoke of JJ taking classes for criminology and so forth, the male couldn't help but smile "Sure I'd be more than happy to help a fellow team mate" he smiled to JJ then turned his attention to Hotch "But it took you to come and ask me?" it confused him. Normally JJ wasn't like this, if there was something she needed she would always come straight to him ... yet now it seems she was reluctant on the whole situation "However..." he spoke while glancing to JJ "If she really wishes for Elle to help her... then I do not wish to interfere."

Hotch shook his head, "Elle is busy with her own thing JJ." Hotch said, crushing JJ's slight chance of not having to be around Spencer. "I am asking Reid to do this because I know he has a lot of free time and that he is probably the most knowledgeable one out of all os us." He said. "And since there is no case today, I believe it would be a perfect chance for you two to get started." He said and glanced to JJ. JJ was not thrilled, she might have been a few days ago but now every time she looked at Spencer, she could just think about that damned kiss. JJ glanced off and Hotch walked back to his office and JJ would of course try act as normal as she could. It was just annoying her that he of all people was, it was clear to JJ he really had no genuine interest in her, which of course was crushing. If a nerd didn't like her, what real hope did she have now?

JJ just shrugged his hand off a little. The look he gave her and the gesture brought back the memory of the kiss. "I'm fine...and yeah I guess we can just pick up where I left off. I just have some questions about things." She said and looked off. Elle watched from afar and sighed, it seemed something was going on.

This was really worrying him, this wasn't like the JJ he knew, if something was bothering her she normally told him. But this, this was different, he couldn't put his finger on it, but something was up. Pushing aside his curiosity Spencer smiled to her and took a seat "Well ... I'm available right now and after work, if you'd like to come over for an evening of tutoring." he gave her a smile. Yet as he looked to her, images of his 'dream' flashed before his eyes which got him to slowly space out for a moment as he began to picture everything that had happened. Why was his dream haunting him? Was it because he was talking to JJ, he figured that was it, and pushed away his thoughts, lifting his gaze to her once more with a smile.

"I am busy tonight..." She said slowly and bit her lip. "I have a date." JJ said to him. "So um...I guess now will have to do..." She said and went to go get her papers. She was rather pissed at Hotch who paired her with Reid of all people. JJ just couldn't handle it. She could tell he moved on from the kiss and thought of it as a mistake but it was too late for JJ. She already felt foolish, she kissed him and meant it. He clearly didn't mean it. She returned with her thongs and continued to avoid his face. "So..."

Reid sat there watching here, as she explained she was busy with a date, for some strange reason the male felt a tug at his emotions which for him was quite odd. But he managed to push away his feelings and gave a nod "Alright, I'll do as much as I can now." as she headed off to get her things he sat there, his mind wandering. He had felt something, an ounce of disappointment it seemed when he heard of her having plans to go on a date. These were new feelings for the doctor, but he pushed them away none the less and looked to her as she returned, reaching out he took a hold of one of her books and opened it. Beginning to read over the first chapter with his speed reading he remained quiet, taking all of the information in, though he already knew of it, he wanted a refresher. They went through her questions and worked up to lunch and then some time after. The end of the day was nearing. JJ was sitting by Reid as a muscular male walked in wearing a visitors pass. She smiled and stood up.

"Hey Stephen." JJ smiled. Stephen had on a brown leather jacket and black jeans. He had dirty curly blond hair. He hugged her and kept an arm around her waist tightly. He didn't seem happy to find his new girl with a nerd but Stephen brushed it off, the kid was no competition.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Um yeah..." JJ nodded and bit her lip. Stephen didn't give her the same odd feeling as Spencer.

As the hours passed and soon evening was upon then, Spencer had just wrapped up the tutoring the when Stephen approached, Reid lifted his gaze to the male and gave a nod of a hello before looking to JJ "Well that about covers it." he spoke while scribbling a few notes down for her, closing her books, he gathered them and placed them upon the desk closer to her and date. "Have a good time!" he smiled to JJ then waited for them to leave. Once they did he sat at his desk a somewhat annoyed looked upon his face 'Why am I feeling this way? Just for some dream I had of JJ and I together... was it a dream?' he was now beginning to question himself as he sat there alone at his desk his fingers twirling a pen as his mind raced.

Elle happened to be hanging around and once JJ and the dude left, she approached Reid. "He's not her type..." Elle just said and looked to him and smiled, sure that he was thinking about her.

As Elle approached, Reid pulled from his thoughts and looked to the female with a faint smile upon his lips "Well... if he is or isn't... I just don't want her getting hurt. She's a good friend and I hate when friend's get hurt…" he spoke with a sigh before getting up and grabbing his things "I think I'm going to head home a little early." he spoke to Elle before sliding on his jacket, taking his keys and items he brought from home then heading for the elevator.

The next morning was different, JJ wasn't early as she usually was, nor did she seem like her perky helpful self. Last night while she was out with Stephen, he had gotten drunk and rather upset and had no one to blame but JJ. She attempted to cover up her bruises with a long sleeve shirt, pants and concealer. The liaison arrived about twenty minutes late and seemed a bit jumpy and uptight. JJ just got some coffee and hurried to her office. She sat down and Elle walked in. "Hey." JJ said.

"Hey...we need to talk..." Elle was an expert on sexual abuse as well as other forms of it so she could tell pretty easily that JJ was hiding something damaging.

"Ab...about what?" She asked and gulped a little.

"Your face is swollen and brides. Please don't tell me he had-"

"Don't start." JJ glared defensively.

"JJ...I'm worried...this isn't healthy...you're not like this." Elle said.

"Don't profile me..." JJ growled and stood up but as she applied pressure to her arms and shoulders, she winced and stumbled back into her chair. Elle hurried over and JJ just pushed her friend away. "I'm fine!" She said, her voice pained and held a tone of fright. Elle backed away and felt her heart breaking as she saw JJ like this. Elle just sighed and walked out.

The following morning, Spencer had gone his normal routine and was up and in the office before anyone else, he hadn't been able to sleep much due to worrying about JJ. Though after sitting down with a few cups of coffee, she'd come in to work late. Though as she rushed passed and straight for her office, Reid hadn't gotten that good of a look at her, but he could tell something was wrong. Right from the get go, Spencer had sensed something wasn't right about JJ's date and now with her rushing in, late, and hiding something he could feel it. All of this was making him respect her date less and less. As JJ yelled to Elle, the muffled sound of her voice echoed through the hall and into the den of cubicles. Her muffled voice reached his ears and watched as Elle walked out. Getting up the genius made his way over "What's wrong with her?" he asked with deep concern apparent upon his face.

Elle looked to Reid, unsure if she should tell him or not. Would it really make things any better? JJ wouldn't like him knowing. Reid would probably find out anyway. She bit her lip and wondered what Reid could even do to protect JJ. She mentally smirked and watched Reid and decided she had to tell him. "Well...I think Stephen hit her..." Elle finally sad. She was sure it more than the fact too but she kept that idea to herself. She then quickly moved back to her desk.

JJ was now sitting on the floor behind her desk. She knew she would appear suspicious but if anyone asked she would say she just dropped something. The blond breathed in and shut her eyes tightly. Flashes of last night were all that seemed to fill her mind. And frankly, she was spooked…nearly broken.

Hearing this an anger sparked in the male as he listened to Elle giving a nod he watched as she left and slowly turned his attention to JJ's office door. His hear went out to her as he neared it, being extra quiet, making his way into the office he stepped near her desk and looked to her "JJ..." came his voice in a whisper as he moved over, kneeling down beside her as he reached out and cupped her face gently "I know you don't want me interfering ... but I want to help you." he spoke in a calm whisper while staring to him. "You're my friend, and you mean a lot to me. I will make that jerk pay for what he did." though he may not look it, beneath those 'signature' clothes the male wasn't scrawny one bit, sure he was slim but had the knowledge to fight.

Not hearing him come in didn't give her a chance to rebuild her demeanor. JJ's face flushed as her heart skipped quite a fee beats as she stared at him. A sense of Deja vu was coming to mind and it just hurt even more. Friends. Yeah that's all they were and she was trying hard to remember that but his kiss was stuck inside of her now. It was sweet, near heroic gesture as she bit her lower lip and lowered her gaze from his own. "N-no...I'll be fine really...he said he was sorry...it was an accident." She found herself saying as she got to her feet. JJ already knew her responses were those out of textbook about someone who had been abused and were in denial or too proud to take help.

As she got up, Reid straightened his form as well "No... you know as well as I do JJ that it will happen again... and again. Those types of men gain satisfaction and hurting women, he is the same as all the others. I don't want you getting again, JJ please…" he spoke while reaching out and taking hold of her hand. Upon taking a hold of her hand, he got glimpses of Friday night, from the lights going out, to him starting the fire in his bedroom. He was reliving the moments up to the kiss. His widened for a moment as he looked to her "It was real..." he muttered to himself then turned his gaze back to her "JJ please.. let me help you" he spoke while still holding her hand.

JJ shook her head and tugged her hand away from his. "Stop it." She sighed and wiped her eyes a bit and took a fee steps back and gave him a sad expression and just walked out of her office. She needed to be alone and just cry. So if course she headed to the bathroom.
