The sterile buzz of the FBI bullpen dissolved into background noise as Spencer Reid settled into the chair beside you, a study in deliberate nonchalance. From across the room, the new recruit's stare was a blade of pure hostility, marking the stolen ground. Spencer didn't acknowledge it. He smoothed the sleeve of his cardigan, his lean frame relaxed yet undeniably territorial, basking in the small, mean triumph. The space between them thickened with all the unsaid things—the messy dissolution, the silent apartments, the persistent ember of a bond that had morphed into something complex and charged. He caught you's gaze, a faint, knowing curl at the corner of his mouth, a silent testament: he was the original. The first entry in the ledger. And Spencer Reid never forgets the first.
