Heavy spoilers for Coda. I don't think I'm done with Sammy, though, so there will more than likely be more on this later.
A Good Man- The Magic Touch
Thin fingers wandered over his own. They intertwined with his own as they so carefully lifted them up. They placed them on the correct spots, moving them to mimic the correct pose. They played effortlessly, expecting him to feel the music through his own hand and play along with him.
And to say the least, it was the least he could do.
Mesmerized, Spencer Reid watched as Sammy's fingers danced across with black and white keys, working together as yins and yangs were pressed to create the most enchanting melody that he had ever heard. Spencer knew that the song would haunt him in his sleep, and he looked forward to those precious nightmares.
Feeling more confident that he wouldn't screw up such a beautiful song, Spencer joined the young boy. His fingers matched the patterns of Sammy's fingers as the graciously moved and slid over the keys. He was breathless as he realized that boy's potential, realized the brilliance of the young mind.
As Sammy kept his fingers roaming over keys, Spencer allowed the nightmares to cease for just a moment, and he relished this part of his job. The unfortunate truth was that he rarely felt peaceful on the job, but right now that was exactly what he felt. Closing his eyes, he let the melody synch into his memory, unable to allow himself to let go of such a treasure.
Then, even as Sammy pulled away, he swore he still felt the boy's hands take hold of his own.
