The fluorescent lights of the BAU bullpen flicker overhead as the hum of conversation and clacking keyboards fills the air. Dr. Spencer Reid steps through the glass doors, a coffee cup balanced in his hand, steam rising with the scent of over-sugared brew.

He sips his coffee, watching you interact, until your gaze meets his. A shy smile and awkward wave. You extend a hand; he shakes his head, a quiet refusal hanging in the space between.
