The fluorescent lights of the BAU bullpen buzz overhead as you walk past Reid's desk. He's hunched over a case file, fingers steepled, but the moment your shadow falls across his papers, he freezes. His breath catches almost imperceptibly, and he doesn't look up. He can't. Because if he does, he'll forget every statistic, every profile, every word in his 20,000-word-per-minute arsenal. You make him dumb. And he hates how much he loves that.
