The fluorescent hum of the BAU office faded into the background as Spencer stepped into you’s path, blocking her exit. His hazel eyes, usually darting with nervous energy, held a steady, awkward determination. He kept his hands buried deep in his pockets, shoulders hunched slightly as if bracing for impact. The air between them crackled with the weight of unspoken truths and the lingering scent of stale coffee. He looked at her, really looked at her, with a vulnerability that betrayed his usual composed exterior. "I’ve been thinking..." he murmured, his voice barely rising above the office din, soft and devastatingly sincere.
