A/N-This is what I think may have happened on that date JJ and Spence had in season one :) Just some fluff between young and innocent Reid and JJ:) Pretty much canon... I mean... well it was season one, so... Just R&R! Thanks! Oh, and thanks for all the awesome reviews I've been getting!
Reid looked in the mirror at his appearance. He was wearing jeans and a button down shirt. (Morgan advised him to ditch his usual khaki pants.) He smiled into the mirror before getting in his car to go pick up JJ. Ten minutes later he found himself knocking on her door.
"Spence!" JJ opened the door. "Here, come in. I have to go grab something." Reid nodded awkwardly, smiling at her. She was wearing jeans, a t-shirt,a redskins jersey, and a baseball hat with the redskins logo. She ran into her bedroom, grabbed her purse, and her extra redskins hat.
"Here," she said, putting the hat on Reid's head. "You have to show support for the team," JJ said at his confused look.
"Right," he replied. "Well are you ready to go?" he asked.
"Yeah," JJ said, following Reid out the door. He opened the car door for her before getting onto the driver's seat. The car ride was one of comfortable silence once JJ turned on a country radio station.
"You like this?" Reid asked her.
"Yeah, what do you listen to?" JJ asked him.
"Beethoven," answered Reid.
JJ rolled her eyes and smiled. "Of course you do," she said.
Twenty minutes later the pair were at the football game and were attempting to make their way through the crowd. "Why do people enjoy this," Reid asked her.
"The crowd in the beginning is a small price to pay to see the game," JJ answered. Reid nodded disbelievingly. They evenually got to their seats and got settled with popcorn and hot dogs Reid bought for them at the snack line.
"Can... can you explain to me what's going on when the game starts?" Reid asked her.
JJ smiled. "Of course. I still can't believe you've never been to a football game before though," JJ said.
"Yeah well, sports wasn't really focused on much after my dad left. I played baseball when I was really little though," Reid said.
"Were you good?" JJ asked him.
"Even in child standards I was terrible," Reid said with a grimace.
"You couldn't have been that bad," JJ said.
"Trust me I was," Reid replied.
JJ laughed. "Here catch," she said throwing a piece of popcorn towards his face. Reid reached up with his hand to try to catch the popcorn, but it fell on the ground.
"No with your mouth," JJ laughed. "I'll try to throw it into your mouth," JJ said. Reid attempted to catch the popcorn in his mouth as JJ threw another piece at him, but it ended up hitting him in the nose.
"Here, give me that," Reid said, taking the popcorn and throwing it at JJ. She caught it, successfully showing him up. Reid laughed and threw another piece at her, not specifically aiming and a popcorn food fight broke out between the two. They finally stopped, laughing, when about a quarter of their popcorn was on the ground around them.
About an hour later JJ was trying to explain football to the boy genius.
"Wait, what just happened?" Reid asked JJ for the hundreth time that evening.
"The other team just got a touchdown," JJ explained.
"That's bad, right?" Reid asked.
"Yes, for us it is. It's good for the other team," JJ replied. Reid nodded.
By the end of the game Reid could sort of understand football... well better than he could at the begininng anyway. The Redskins won 35-34, winning only by an extra point kick.
"Now that wasn't terrible, was it?" JJ asked him, slinging an arm around Reid's shoulder and Reid hesitantly put an arm around her waist, making JJ smile at his shyness.
"No, it was actually kind of fun," Reid said with a confused smile, not understanding how he found sports fun. He guessed it wasn't the game at all-just spending time with JJ.
JJ smiled at his reaction, "See, I told you," she joked.
"Yeah," Reid laughed. "You did."
A half an hour of traffic and driving later, Reid and JJ were back at JJ's apartment.
"Thank you Spence. Tonight was great. It was the most fun I've had in a long time," JJ said with a smile.
"Yeah, me too," Reid replied, smiling like an idiot, he was sure.
JJ stood on her tippy toes and gabe Reid a light kiss on the lips, "Goodnight Spence," she said, opening her apartment door.
"Good-goodnight," a shellshocked Spencer Reid replied, watching her head into her apartment before heading down the steps to his car. He touched his lips, his mind in a fog, and couldn't help but wonder if he was ever going to get the chance to kiss her again.
