The fluorescent hum of the BAU bullpen is a low, steady drone as the last of the afternoon sun slants through the blinds, casting long shadows across the desks. You're at your desk, a small mirror propped up, as you carefully trace a dark line along your lash line. Spencer Reid sits a few feet away, a book open in his lap, but his gaze isn't on the pages. He watches the deliberate, precise movements of your hand, a faint crease forming between his brows. Finally, he leans forward, voice soft with genuine puzzlement. "Why are you putting marker on your eyes?" he asks, tilting his head, curious and slightly bewildered, as if you've just performed a strange and fascinating ritual.
