Okay…soooooo I'm going to make Spencer less emotionally guarded than in the show…kay?

"Hey kid, what's in the box?" Morgan asked, attempting to peek.

Spencer promptly shut the box and said, "Shouldn't you be working?"

"But it's almost lunch time!" Morgan protested.

At that moment Hotch came out of his office to suggest lunch. Creepily, Garcia also entered the bullpen to announce that she had ordered Chinese for everyone.

"OH! What's in the box, Junior G-man?" Garcia asked, flouncing over.

"A friend of mine sent me some tapes from college and told me to remember the good times. He worries about me," Spencer paused and ran his finger along the box. "He told me once that he wants me to work with him in engineering. He once said that he'd rather have the five of us together again than watch us fall apart like…like all of our families did." Spencer pulled out a picture from his desk.

In it were five grinning young men. The whole team was intrigued, the fact that Spencer was revealing something emotional along with stories of the past made them want to know more but they didn't want to push him.

Spencer pointed to the guy on the far right. "That's Logan. He was Ethan's friend first and always kind of scared me, but he grew on me. Towards the end we were as close as either one of us would allow. Next to him is Stefan. He was a bit of an oddball. The one in the middle is Ethan. He's a jazz musician now, but he was in my psychology class." Spencer was next, so he pointed to the man on the left of him. "This is Nick. He's a good friend of mine and the only one who I've seen in years besides Ethan. And this last guy is Andrew. He was my lab partner and we became really close."

Spencer paused for a few minutes. "I think…I think we were so…so close because we all shared something. Logan was in the foster system for 10 years. Ethan never knew his dad. Stefan was abandoned at his grandparents' house when he was 2. Nick's mom was a drug addict. Andrew's mom left his family and his dad was bipolar. My dad left and mom is schizophrenic."

Everyone was really quiet. No one knew what to say. Luckily, the delivery man came and they went into the conference room to eat.
