Seaver nervously paced her apartment. She had never had a problem with parties in the past. She had been to her share of them. All though she had never been the host to the best friends, the ones she hadn't seen in two years. Also she definitely had never had one where she was so desperate for one person in particular to come. Even though he said he was coming. He'd been texting her all day with 'party facts' and telling her about Garcia's excitement. What was she worried about? With Garcia there it was going to be hilarious. At that moment there was a knock on her door.

-The party was in full swing when Reid arrived. It had taken him a good hour too decide what to wear. Even though Morgan had pulled him aside earlier on in the day and told him to wear jeans and a shirt. He still couldn't work out which one Ashley would like more. At this point he was 10 minutes late, by the time he got to Seaver's and had built up enough courage to go in, it had become half an hour late. The door was answered by Rossi.

"Reid, you took your time."

"Sorry Rossi I got a bit lost."

"Sure kid, come on in."

Reid instantly scanned the room to find Ashley. He spotted her in the corner talking to JJ. Her cheeks where pink and JJ was mid sentence. He edged his way over to the two blondes. Well he was until Morgan and Garcia slid in front of him.

"Hey there how is my boy genius on this fine night?"

"Garcia, are you okay?"

"What me? I'm fine. Totally okay, not super proud or anything. As I was right about you and Seaver."

"Subtle baby girl, I told you not to tell him I told you."

"Guys, seriously. All I did was ask you what to do at a party. What are you drinking?"

"Beer, you want one? So you can get enough courage to ask her out?"

"Sure, one can't hurt."

-Seaver caught Reid's eye as he entered and was going to make her way over but was caught out by JJ's next statement which caused her to suddenly loose her focus.

"You really like him don't you?"

"Wait? What?"

"Oh come on Ash, your eyes sparkled as soon as you saw him. Not to mention your red right now."

"Is it that obvious?"

"Trust me I have seen plenty of people act like that. One of them was Spence over there when he saw you."

JJ walked off half smiling and finding Will; they walked over Hotch and Beth. Allowing Ashley to mingle with other guests.

It was getting late and guest's where starting to leave. Ashley had been a good host and spent the night talking to all her guests but she couldn't help the nagging feeling that she hadn't seen Reid yet. Then she saw him sat on the sofa, stuck next to a very flirty Morgan and Garcia. He was staring into the distance obviously trying to avoid the conversation, Seaver made her way over.

"Morgan, Garcia. How about I call you guys a cab? I'm guessing you have both had a bit too much to drink."

"Oh thanks sweetie. We were just talking about you and our boy genius here."

Reid shot them a glance so with that they left. Ashley turned her attention to Reid.

"Hey Spencer, How you doing?"

"Ugh, Ash I cannot thank you enough for saving me from them. It was getting graphic."

"That's no problem Spence. How about you help me get everyone out?"

"Sure you start in here and I'll go check all the other rooms."

After a good half hour of getting several of Seaver's drunken colleges and friends out of the house, they returned to the couch.

"Did you enjoy your party then?"

"In all honesty I had forgotten how hard being a host can be. I ended up talking to everyone. Well everyone besides the one person I really wanted to." Turning to give Reid a smile.

"I know you're telling me. I came here for you and instead I got Morgan and Garcia talking about... actually don't worry."

"Ok Reid. I can never tell with them are they actually in a relationship?"

"As far as I know, no. But they sure do act like it."

"Yeah I know. Reid did you get a taxi here?"

"No I drove, but I'll probably have to get a cab home and come get my car in the morning. I got lost enough and that was with daylight."

"It is pretty confusing. How about you can sleep on my couch, if you help me tidy some of this umm mess up." As she gestured to her house, that looked like a bomb site.

"You know what deal. I think you need all the help you can get."

With that they got to work, laughing and joking around. All though it did take them a good few hours to make the house habitable.

"I'll just go get you some blankets. The sofa pulls out by the way so it should be comfortable."

"Thanks Ash. How did you say it pulled out?"

"Oh that bottom bit there should be a pull."

"Okay got it. Did you know the mechanics behind this are really interesting?"

"As fascinating as it is, I'm a bit too tired for facts."

Spencer walked over to where Ashley stood with the blankets and he took them out of her hands. He leaned in and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Night Ashley."

"Night Spence."

As she turned into her bedroom he couldn't help but say.

"I really missed you Seaver."

"I missed you too Reid. Now sleep!"

With that Reid turned and smiled and headed back to the sofa.
