OK sorry for not updating for a little while. Off on vacation and didn't really have time to sit down and write. Now that that's out of the way, Thanks for the reviews guys.

Don't own anything yada yada yada. Thanks guys. This chapter is giving more insight on the history between Reid and JJ. Next chapter is going to give insight on the history of Emily and Reid.

General POV

The team all waited for Reid to return out of surgery, worry all prominent on their faces. Penelope, Emily, and JJ were holding each other crying. Rossi and Hotch stood in the corner, whispering about who knows what. Morgan sat with his head buried in his hands. He had always viewed Reid as his baby brother. Someone he needed to protect and he had failed. He blamed himself thinking that if he had gone after Reid there would've been a way to stop the shooter. Maybe if he hadn't kept Emily's death a lie Reid would've been with them tonight. Instead of home where he had been left to die. He groaned letting a few tears escape before he got up and went to get some fresh air.

Reid's POV

I remembered the first time I had ever laid eyes on her. Her beauty radiating as she walked into the room. "Guys, I'd like you to all meet our new media liaison, Jennifer Jareau." She slightly blushed, but kept her smile as she shook hands with the people around the room, exchanging names.

"Please, call me JJ."

"Jason Gideon, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Elle Greenaway. It's nice to finally have another female field agent on the team."

"Derek Morgan, nice to have you on the team."

"Penelope Garcia. Your local tech genius around here. Oh I can already feel us being the best of friends!" Then it became my turn. I remained motionless, just staring with amazement at her beauty, her smile shining with her rosy pink lipstick. I must've just sat there with my mouth in an O before she tried to talk to me.

"And you are?"

"Huh? Oh. OH!" I tried to get up too quickly as I clumsily got my legs tangled and tripped back down to the floor.

"Oh my God! Are you ok?" JJ asked as she started to lean down to help me up. Morgan and Elle looked at each other smirking, while Garcia tried not to laugh.

"And that right there, is our clumsy resident genius, Spence…" I cut Morgan off as I stood back.

"Reid. Spencer Reid." I practically threw my hand to her as she straightened up. She kept her beautiful smile nonetheless and shook my hand.

"Well, I must say it is quite nice to meet you Spence." She had just met me and had already given me a nickname. That was a good sign right? After she had left Morgan proceeded to tease me before I told him to shut up and also left. I heard him laughing on the way out. I hoped I wasn't blushing too hard. I fast forwarded to my date with JJ. We had known each other for about a year now and I think Gideon was fed up with my failed attempts of trying to ask her out. Each one ending up with me just stuttering then leaving the room. I remembered how Gideon handed me the Redskins' tickets before he practically told me to go ask JJ.

"Hey JJ?"

"Yeah Spence. What can I help you with?" She looked up at me with those glowing blue eyes.

"Well I was… You see… There's this thing…" I couldn't find the words to ask JJ to the game.

"Spence? Is everything ok?" she asked worry clearly in her voice. God. She even looked beautiful when she was worried.

"Huh? Oh yeah. I was justwonderingifyouwantedtogotoardskins'gamewithme." I said all too quickly and quietly. She looked kinda confused.

"I'm sorry Spence, what?" I blushed even harder before asking again.

"I was just wondering if you wanted to go to a Redskins' game with me?" It was more of a plea but it was the best I could do. This, however, caught Morgan's attention. He looked up and me smirking and if it was even humanly possible, I blushed even harder.

"Oh! Yeah Spence I'd love to!" Happiness glowing from her face.

"Really? I mean cool! Yeah. Alright. Fun. I'm babbling again. Sorry" I apologized.

"It's ok, really." She smiled at me reassuring me that I was fine. I sat next to her for the rest of the flight, but I couldn't bring myself to strike a conversation. When we landed and got back to headquarters I started to tell her details of the game.

"The game is on Saturday at 8 so I'll pick you up and 6?

"Sounds perfect Spence." She replied before giving me a hug and a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving. I felt my cheeks burn where her lips had been.

"Way to go my man!" Morgan startled me, resulting in me jumping. "Calm down. It's only me." He laughed and I punched him in the arm. "I'm just proud of you. It took you long enough." I blushed and hoped all would go well. I went home that night and studied football in every way possible. Reading books, researching online, watching a game. I wanted to know what was going on so that JJ wouldn't have to stop and explain everything to me. Then Friday came. I wasn't exactly sure what to wear for the game so I stuck to what I put on a dress shirt, rolled in up to my elbows, before throwing on a sweater vest and jeans. I hadn't known whether or not to get her a jersey in case she had already had one. I looked at the clock. Only 3. I decided that the jersey was worth the risk and drove off to the nearest sport's store I could think of. I looked through many jersey's before I picked one out. I chose a Portis jersey with a number 26 on it. I hoped she didn't have it. It was becoming 6 so I went off in the direction of her house. I stopped by a flower shop on the way. At 6 I knocked on her door. She opened and instantly my breath was taken away. She had her hair in a pony tail. Then I realized with disappointment that she was wearing the jersey that I had bought her.

"Spence! Hello?"

"Oh. Hi! Um these are for you." I said as I handed her the flowers.

"Aww. You're such a sweetie. Let me go put these in a vase. Come in." I looked around her house as she went to go look for a vase. It wasn't very large, but not small either. Cozy was the best way I could describe it. When she returned we headed to the car before I realized I had forgotten something.

"You look amazing JJ." Now it was her turn to blush as she entered the car. The date was going well. I understood what was going on, but I mainly just watched JJ and how she reacted. This was another side of JJ. A less stressed side and it made me smile. Then a drunken mishap happened.

"Hello there beautiful. What do you say you ditch the nerd with the sweater vest and come hang out with me. I'll show you what a real date is like." I quickly felt my anger surge before she responded.

"No thanks. This is my date for the night and I have every intention of keeping him my date." I slightly smiled before he tried to get physical.

"Now you listen here. I am much more fun than your nerd here will ever be." He said as he grabbed her wrist. Then I grabbed his.

"Look here. My date here said she was fine so why don't you just walk away." I tightened my grip. I may have not been the strongest guy, but being in the FBI meant I had some strength. HE quickly let go before shaking the pain off.

"Yeah yeah. She wasn't that hot anyway."

"Not that hot! What did you just say. I'll have you know that you're looking at one of the most beautiful girls right now. And if you can't see that then I feel sorry for you."

"Come on. Let's gp. Game's almost over anyway." JJ's voice came back. I intertwined my fingers with hers before we walked out of the stadium. We were back to my car when she started to cry.

"JJ? JJ I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let my anger get the better of me."

"No. It's not that." She half cried, half laughed. "I just can't believe that you would stand up for me like that. She smiled again and I felt myself melt. We looked at each other before our lips met and I shared my first kiss with the beautiful Jennifer Jareau. Things never really went back to normal though… We were still friends, but neither of us mentioned what had happened that night and another date had never been talked about.

JJ's POV

I sat with Garcia and Emily crying about Reid. He was so sweet. He didn't deserve this. I remembered the first time I had met him. He was so adorable sitting there with his mouth open. When he toppled over when he tried to introduce himself. I remembered him being flustered around me a lot. I had thought it was so cute. Spence… That was the nickname I had given him after Morgan had been cut off. We had gotten close over the year and when he finally asked me out on a date I was ecstatic. I had been so nervous for Friday to come. I had planned that entire week. What I was going to where, what I was going to do. When the time came though all plans had been thrown out the window. I had lost track of time and hadn't had time to work on my hair. I remembered him knocking and him just staring, making me blush before handing me flowers. I was kind of upset he hadn't called me beautiful like he normally would have, but then again I wasn't exactly the nicest looking at that moment. I got a vase before returning to him. It had been when we reached the car when he told me that I had looked amazing, making me blush. The date had been going well, but there were a few girls who had looked at Reid. It had slightly annoyed me, but I noticed he only took notice of me so I hadn't done anything. Then the jerk had to come along. Trying to make me leave Spence for him. I remembered the way Spencer Reid, the clumsy quiet one had stood up for me. At that moment it had filled me up with so much pride and happiness. It made me smile slightly thinking of it. I had cried of happiness when we had reached his car, making him worry. I reassured him that it was because of what he said for me. I remembered as we looked at each other, staring into each other's eyes before our lips touched. I could tell it was his first kiss, but it didn't bother me as I pulled him closer, deepening our kiss.

"Oh Spence. Please be okay." I whispered to myself.

Please leave reviews and let me know how I'm doing thanks.
