So this is a little out of season, but who doesn't love a cute christmas fluff anytime of the year? I know I do!
Rating: K+
Warning: None
Pairing: Reid/Rossi
Mistletoe
He dreaded this. He had seen the goddamned thing hanging above them all night long and he had been carefully avoiding it all night long. He didn't know how it finally happened, but he found himself under it unknowingly and with the person he feared the most in the room. One thought crossed his mind:
"Please please please ignore that mistletoe."
David, of course, wouldn't ignore the mistletoe, he would gracefully and intensely oblige to the tradition. He kissed Spencer on the very corner of his mouth, a smile playing across his and he chuckled as Reid blushed.
"Thank you", he whispered softly.
His eyes caught Hotch's, who was biting back a smile. Everyone had seen it, nobody had said anything, but Spencer would stay red for the entire night after that. As everyone said goodbye, JJ offered to drive Reid home, but he refused.
"I'll stay for a little while, help David clean."
As the door closed behind the group of friends, Prentiss winced.
"Ouch. I hope he's not making a big thing of that mistletoe thing", she frowned.
"Do you think he could be?", JJ asked, suddenly worried.
"I wouldn't worry about it", Hotch smiled mysteriously.
As the door closed behind the group of friends, David spun around to find Spencer standing underneath the mistletoe, a grin crossing his face.
"Oh, so now you want a kiss", David teased.
"Don't you?", Spencer smirked.
Rossi smiled and nodded. And Spencer stayed longer than for cleaning the house. They fell asleep on the couch and woke up late the next morning. Well, afternoon, even.
Spencer tried to roll over over and almost fell on the floor before catching himself. He opened his eyes and saw David laughing, sat in the armchair in front of him with a coffee in his hands.
"Hmmm… Coffee?", Reid asked.
"Yes. Good morning you too. Food's on its way, too."
"On its way? Since when do you order food?" "Since when do I sleep until 1pm?" "Right. David?" "Yes?" "Thank you for not kissing me under the mistletoe."
"Thank you for kissing me under the mistletoe, Spencer."
I love the Reid/Rossi relationship as much as I love Reid/Hotch, but I find the first one much harder to write, especially in one-shot and short fics, but I do have a few of them in my pockets. Please tell me if you like it too!
