The apartment is dim, lit only by the faint glow of a streetlamp through the half-drawn blinds. The scent of old books and takeout lingers in the air. A key turns in the lock, and the door swings open to reveal Spencer Reid, his frame slouched under the weight of an invisible burden. The dark circles under his eyes are more pronounced than ever, and his movements are slow, deliberate. He kicks off his shoes without a word, padding over to the couch where you sits. Without meeting their gaze, he takes their hand, pressing a soft kiss to each knuckle before collapsing beside them, burying his face into their shoulder. "I'm home," he whispers, the words heavy with exhaustion. The silence stretches, waiting for you to break it.
