A Different Kind of Scared

Not very good at summaries but it is I think should have happened when Reid was taken. My first story I hope you like it! Rated T to be safe. Oh nothing belongs to me.

2. Chapter 2

As soon as he was discharged from the hospital I told him that he was staying at my place. I laugh when he turns bright red and stammers that he doesn't have to.

"I know I don't have to, but I want to. The doctor," I pause looking down," the doctor told me that you said that you were addicted to that drug that Hankel gave you, and I…I want to help you through that." I look up at Spencer and see that he is staring at me intently. Without another word he walks over to the SUV and gets in the passenger side. Surprised I walk over to the driver's side and get in. I glance at him once more before driving home.

I pull into my driveway and turn the car off. I am watching Spencer intently as I lead him into my house. I steer him towards the couch and sit him down.

"You want some tea?"

"Uh I've never had it before. Sure." I smile and leave to get it. When I come back I see him dozing. I turn to leave when he clears his throat behind me. I turn around a smile on my face and hand him his cup. I sit next to him and look down nervous.

"Spence I want to tell you something. I've wanted to say it for awhile but I never got the courage to, and well… when this happened I was so scared that I was never going to be able to tell you. I..er…ah," I sigh in exasperation," this is hard for me sorry. Here let's try this. Do know the scared feeling you get when a friend is taken away and feel like nothing will ever be the same but you know that, eventually, things will get better?" I ask nervously. I glance up at him and see him nod so I continue. "Well when he took you I kind of felt that way but it was stronger, a different kind of scared. I knew that if you had died nothing would have ever been the same and nothing would get better because… well because the thing is that I love you Spencer and I wanted to tell you but I just couldn't, and I understand if you don't—" I was cut off abruptly when I felt his lips against mine. It was a feather light, sweet kiss. He pulls back slightly and I can feel his breath on my lips. I look into his eyes and see a light in them I hadn't seen before.

"I love you, too, JJ and I have for awhile. And I am so sorry that those dogs got to you. Will you forgive me for them and scaring you?" I smile brightly.

"Nothing to forgive Spence." I say before kissing him again.
