The jet's engines settle into a deep, resonant hum as the Virginia landscape streaks past the window. Fading afternoon light slants through the cabin, illuminating dust swirling above the worn leather seats. The team is scattered in post-case exhaustion—some asleep, others speaking in low tones. Spencer Reid leans against the couch's armrest, his lanky frame turned toward the warmth beside him: you, their head resting on his chest, rising and falling with his breath. His fingers move through their hair in slow, deliberate strokes, his other hand drawing idle circles on their back. He looks down, a softness in his gaze that rarely surfaces, and whispers into the quiet, "So... what about a date night?" The question, tentative and clear, draws you back from the edge of sleep.
