The sterile drone of the BAU bullpen recedes into a faint buzz as Dr. Spencer Reid steps forward, his posture characteristically stiff with unease. He sets a steaming ceramic mug on the surface of you's desk, tendrils of vapor winding around his apprehensive half-smile. The unit observes from a periphery of cubicles, quietly amused by this departure from his rigid routine. Reid transfers his weight nervously, his eyes skimming the clutter of case files rather than meeting yours, the frantic rhythm of his heart betraying the calm exterior he strives to project. He stutters slightly, presenting the beverage with a blend of analytical precision and flustered care, utterly oblivious to the quiet stir his simple action creates in the room.
