Feb. 2nd: Blush – 200 words – Sparkling eyes peek through the door. Character blushes at the attention. And then...?
Spencer Reid/Jennifer Jareau
A/N: I am apparently crap at sticking to the word count on these :p. Eh, well.
The door seemed to be mocking him as he stared at it.
She won't answer. She's changed her mind.
Reid fumbled with his damp hands as he shifted from foot to foot. Great first impression. What woman doesn't like a man with sweaty hands?
He took a deep breath, remembering Gideon's encouragement. He wouldn't have suggested this if he thought she'd shoot him down.
Reid slowly raised his hand, rapping out the "shave and a haircut" knock.
A couple seconds later, JJ peered at him from behind the door. Her blue eyes were shining, an excited grin on her face. Reid decided he'd be happy to spend the rest of his life looking at her beautiful face.
"Hey, Spence. Right on time!" she said, shaking him from his thoughts. She took in his outfit. Tie, button-down shirt, slacks. Usual style of dress. There was something reassuring about that.
Reid's face flushed slightly at her gaze. "I know this isn't how people typically dress for games -" He gestured to her Redskins cap and red and yellow jersey. "but I didn't…I..."
"You look fine. Trust me." JJ patted his arm, catching his eye and throwing him a shy smile. "Ready to go?"
He returned her smile. "Absolutely."
The two made their way down the walk, arm in arm.
Yep. This was going to be a good day.
