They had decided in the car to go to the bigger mall that was almost forty minutes away. They were happy they were all off work the next day. It was sometimes good to have their job because they almost always had the same days off.
They had started at Dillard's and worked their way along. They were in Claire's when the BAU members learned something about their little genius.
"Hey, do you like this one?" "Puck "asked his cousin, holding up a rainbow barbell that went through a tongue piercing,
"Well, you did break my old one like that." The genius said, walking up to him to inspect the jewelry.
"Reid, that's for a tongue piercing." J.J. informed him.
Both Reid's heard this, and assumed they were being talked to.
"I know." They said simultaneously.
Everyone just looked at them.
"He has his tongue pierced." The younger said like it was a common known fact.
"What?!" The girls half yelled in unison.
"…You didn't tell them… did you?" Young Spencer asked his cousin, knowing now that he had said something not known.
"I didn't find it pertinent. I always just wear this fleshy one, and they've never noticed, so it never came up." Doctor Reid shrugged.
"Have you Snake bites also not come up?" The younger laughed, fairly certain that that would be known by the friends.
"Yea…"
The team was looking at them again. Reid smiled nervously and shrugged.
"When did you get piercings?" Derek asked.
"A couple years ago, I was supposed to stay with my Great great Aunt Angelic while my parents went on a third honeymoon, but she didn't approve of how I dressed, so she kicked me out. That's when I called this stud here. I stayed with him for a month and a half. I can be very persuasive when I want to be." The teen smiled.
"I'm just happy I didn't let him talk me into the eyebrow piercing." Reid smiled.
"How many piercings do you have?" Penelope asked, her tone showed the suggestive connotations.
"Tongue piercing, Snake bites, industrial piercing, belly button piercing, and nose piercing." The intellect rattled off.
"Don't forget your-" His cousin started pointing at his check.
Older Spencer quickly hit younger Spencer's hand down and put a hand over his mouth.
"Ooooh, Pretty Boy's hiding something." Morgan smiled.
"I'm not hiding anything; you guys just don't need to know what's under my shirt."
"Under your shirt?" Emily asked, connecting the dots in her head.
"You have a nipple piercing?!" Jennifer yelled in surprise.
"Yes, ok. Be quiet." The genius huffed letting go of his cousin.
"At least you never got that tattoo." The teen shrugged.
The group looked at him, clearly about to ask about it.
"I'm not answering any questions. Let's just go."
He left them all. Everyone just followed, laughing. Young Spencer was really the best thing to happen to them. He loosened them up.

"I think we have enough clothing and accessories to last a life time." Doctor Reid laughed as they left the mall.
"Not nearly cousin dear."
"Ok, I don't know about any of you. But I am starving!" Derek complained.
"Oh, I could totally go for a twenty ounce right now." "Puck" said, throwing his head back.
"You can't drink." The ex-football player reminded him.
"I meant a twenty ounce steak."
"Oh, yea, me too."
"Wasn't there an Outback up the road?" Jennifer asked.
"I think so, let's put this stuff in the car and get up there." Emily smiled hungry for steak now that it had been talked about.

They sat so they were kind of grouped. The females sat on one side, and the males sat on the other side. Of course, "Puck" made it so that his cousin was in the middle, and kept "accidentally" pressing him into the stronger male. Garcia sat right across from her teenage love, J.J. in the middle and Prentiss across from Morgan, also the closest to the window.
"Everyone know what they want?" The blonde mother asked.
"Like I said, twenty ounce steak, medium rare." The youngest smiled.
"Same." Both Reid and Morgan said together.
"I'm just gunna have a cheeseburger." Garcia smiled.
"I think I'll have the chicken salad." Emily said, still looking at her menu.
"That sounds really good, I'll have that too." Jennifer smiled, setting down her menu.
"I need to touch up my lipstick." Young Spencer said, standing up.
"You're not wearing lipstick." His cousin reminded him.
"I was supposed to, but someone complained about being pinned to-" The teen said looking at his cousin.
"Don't you have lipstick to put on?" The elder cut off.
The prostitute just smiled. He then looked at the girls, they took his cue and all got up. They started heading for the bathroom.
"Oh, I forgot, I got that rainbow tongue barbell for you, I wanna put it in." Young Spencer smiled, rushing back.
He grabbed his cousin and yanked him out of the booth. The four of them rushed to the girl's bathroom, dragging the doctor behind them.
"I'm not a girl, nor am I dressed as one." Elder Reid said as he was finally let go.
"Oh shut up, this'll be quick, then you can go back to Knight in Shining Armor." His family member rolled his eyes, yanking the plastic off of the tongue ring.
Reid stuck out his tongue for the younger to handle. The teen quickly took out the small flesh colored tongue ring that the doctor always wore so he was discretionary. Then he put in the newest one in.
"There you go, off to your knight." The young male commanded, turning his cousin around as pushing him towards the door.
Reid rolled his eyes but left the bathroom.
The prostitute leaned over the sink and began putting on his green lipstick.
"Why did you call him Reid's knight?" Prentiss asked with a slightly laugh, running a finger over her lip gloss.
"Because I ship them. I ship them like it's my job." He said simply.
"Ship?" Jennifer asked confused.
"Ship, as defined by the Urban dictionary, "To support or endorse a romantic paring that is not canon in the work(s) in which they appear. The shipping of couples is often the purpose of many fanfiction stories. Used for characters in anime, manga, video games, TV shows, etcetera." The teen said simply.
"Basically, he thinks they should be a couple and tries very hard to make them realize they would be good together." Garcia laughed.
