Summary: Spencer Reid meets Abby Sciuto at a lecture, and things grow form there.
Notes: I might be evil. You are warned.
Reid, Abby and Diana were just finishing up their dinner together. They had gone out for sushi, somehow Abby had talked Diana into going and she ended up loving it. The two of them were having a good laugh watching Reid struggle with his chopsticks. In the end the server came by and put down a set of the children's ones that come attached together. He smiled at her awkwardly then took them. Now that he could get his food in his mouth.
"How can a man who is so good at so many things not be able to master using chopsticks?" Abby asked giggling, but curling up to him playfully.
"Because foraging for food with to sticks with points on the end is not an effective way to obtain nutrients."
"It works for a lot of people around the world. In fact chopsticks have been around longer than forks."
"I imagine the fork was invented by a starving Asian man in that case.
"Even you can't perfect everything my silly Spencer." She kissed him softly, and felt his cheeks burn red. "But I still love you."
He ran his fingers along her cheek and whispered, "and I love you."
"That's what I was missing, and why I know you two are going to make it work," Diana told them.
"Thank you, I hope you're right," Abby told her.
"You're not going to elope while you're here are you?"
"It was part of the plan, yes."
"You have to want more than that."
She shook her head. "No, not really but I do know I want you there, please?"
"Abby, I hate those places, they're tacky, they're gimmicks, and they're not where you go for real love. When you have what you two have you do it with the people you love not with something so fake."
"The two most important to me are missing, I can't imagine doing it without them, but you're the most important person to Spencer and you need to be there, please. I don't want to rissk you having a bad day on our wedding day."
"Abby, is this really what you want, when I know Spencer will make anything happen for you."
"What I really want no one can make happen, but given the options available it is what I want. It's going to be great to introduce Spencer as my husband."
"All right, so long as you're sure. I know Spencer is just as excited to call you his wife."
"I am sure about and I sure hope he does. Thank you. I've done a lot of research for somewhere nice. I found a place I like we can check it out then maybe go back tomorrow."
"There's no telling what tomorrow will bring Abby," Diana told her.
"All right we'll see what we can make happen, because you need to be there for this to happen."
"That's kind of you Abby."
"If I can't have my parents, Spencer is going to have his mom. I know this is the right choice for sure now because there would be no telling how you would feel if set a date and planned a whole huge wedding."
"Thank you."
They continued eating. Abby's mind was already racing. She was getting more excited about going to the small chapel she'd found, and hopefully get married. The whole thing seemed so quick, but in her mind she could only see how perfect it all was. Everything she had done with Reid had happened quickly, and it made sense that they would be married after a short engagement too. She wasn't sure how the people they loved would react to it, but they weren't doing this to please others, they were going to get married because it was what they both wanted. They finished their meal and after Reid called Bennington's they left to look at the chapel Abby had found online, hoping it was as nice as it sounded.
Notes: This part felt right. Let me know what you think guys hearts and hugz.
