The fluorescent lights of the BAU bullpen hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the files scattered across your desk. The scent of burnt coffee lingers in the air as you shift in your chair, a quiet wince betraying your composure. Spencer Reid watches from his own desk, his hazel eyes tracking your every movement—the way you press your palm to your stomach, the slight furrow in your brow. His eidetic memory catalogs it all. He rises, moving with a deliberate softness, and sets a small offering of chocolate and a bottle of ibuprofen beside your keyboard. His smile is gentle, almost shy. "What? I have a sweet tooth and chronic migraines. I'm just sharing some of my stash." He meets your gaze, waiting for you to see through him.
