the way you feel when you kiss him

for the first time

like fire within your bones

like your soul has returned to the water

like every part of you that came

from a dead star

is alive again

~ nikita gills

recently you had been spending a lot of time with spencer, you went over his house at least twenty five times this month. you guys would go on little adventures like late night walks in the park and visiting local bookstores and coffee shops.

you were happy, very happy, you had never felt like this with anyone not even adam. spencer made you feel special, like you were the only thing that mattered in that moment.

to say you weren't catching feelings for him would be the biggest lie. there was so much about him that made you attracted to him, his personality, his mind, his heart, his smile, his laugh, everything about him as you drawn to him.

you were doing your hand when your phone rang, your put your brush down and picked up you phone. you looked at it and saw spencer was calling you.

"hey y/n, i know it's late but would you maybe want to go to a new art show with me" he asks

"of course" you say into the phone smiling

"really" he asks disbelief lacing his voice

"really spence" you say giggling into the phone

"ok, is any particular time ok with you" he asks

"no, any time is fine with me" you say walking out of your bathroom into your room

"ok then i'll see you in an hour" he says before hanging up

you put your phone on the bed and just stare at the wall in front of you. as you're staring at the wall the realization hits you.

"oh shit i'm going out on a date with spencer reid" you say to yourself.

you get up and walk to your closet to pick out an outfit, as you're surfing through your closet you grab a black turtle neck, a tan skirt, and your short brown trench coat.

you put on the turtle neck and the skirt on before walking in the bathroom to finish your hair. you put your hair in light curls before you brushed them out.

you looked at the clock and saw that you still have a while before spencer arrives so you decided to do your make up. you do a natural look, you put concealer to hide your eye bags, mascara, and lip gloss. satisfied with the way you looked you walked out of your bathroom and to your closet grabbing your tan beret and black heel boots to tie the look together.

once you get those on you grab you decide to tidy up around your house so that when spencer walked in it didn't look a mess.

after you're done cleaning you sit in your rocking chair and grab your poetry book and start reading where you left off. as you were reading you didn't even notice your phone go off because you were so lost i'm gone book that when spencer knocked on the door it's startled you.

you set your poetry book down before getting up to answer the door. as soon as your opened the door you see spencer wearing a black coat covering his tan sweater, he's wearing black slacks and black converse on his feet.

"hi" you say smiling at him

"hello" he says waving at you

"please come in" you say moving out of his way so that he can walk in. he walks into your house heading straight towards the living room, his eyes rake over the three book cases that you gave in your apartment.

"let me just grab my coat and bag really quickly and i'll be right out" you say looking at him and he nods quickly

you walk back into your room and quickly spray yourself with some perfume before putting on your coat. you grab your clutch and quickly walk out of your room, you walk into your living room and see spencer scanning the books on your bookshelf.

he looks back at you and you walk up to him smiling. he take your hand in his large one and placed a small kiss on your knuckles.

"you ready" he asks looking at you

"yeah let's go" you say, both of you walk out of your apartment hand in hand. you quickly let go of his hand to lock your door, when you did you felt all of the warmth leave your body.

when you're done he grabs your hand and you both walk downstairs to his car parked out by the door of your apartment building. his car is an old yellow volkswagen beetle, you can't help but smile at the sight of the vintage car.

"a 1971 volkswagen beetle" you say looking up at him "nice" you says earning a chuckle from him.

"yeah, i've always had a thing for older things that hold more value" he says looking down at you "i was thinking that we could walk but since you're wearing heels we can alwa-"

"spencer it's fine" you say cutting him off "i'm fine and these heels won't kill my feet" you say squeezing his hand in reassurance

"ok are you sure" he asks looking down at you

"i'm am absolutely positive" you say smiling

with that you both start walking down the side walk in the cold weather. you don't feel as cold with spencer next to you, he just had this natural warmth.

as you guys walk you talk about what you want to see at the arty show, he asks that he wanted to see statement pieces that you would have to coming up with a meaning to, while you said that you wanted see cities and nature basically the beauty of the world.

once you guys got into the art show you guys went up to go pay for your tickets, as much as you wanted to pay spencer wouldn't let you and said that it was his ideas for the date so he should pay. you were upset that he wouldn't let you pay so he said that you could pay for the coffee after which was good sign you.

as you guys walked around you see some beautiful art, these people were very talented. you have a lot of respect for artists and how they worke, it can take years to finish a painting and they keep working on it until their visions is finished and they share it with the world.

you and spencer walk around the sculptures and statues admiring the details and skill. you look up at spencer who is currently talking about how long it can normally take to make a sculpture. intrigued by his words you continue to listen as you walk through this part of the art show.

you hear a familiar tune start to play as you guys walk around the photography section of the show. your mind goes through all of the songs that you've played on the piano and you recognize the song.

"une barque sur l'océan" you say looking at spencer "this was the last song i played on the piano before i quit" you say "it's a hard song to learn but once you learn it, it's absolutely beautiful and completely worth it" you say

"une barque sur l'océan also known as a ship on the ocean. written in 1904 to 1905 as the third movement of miroirs, a solo for the piano written by ravel" he says "it's a beautiful piece of music, ravel said that it's rippling waves grow in power and expanse, suggesting the lonely danger of a ship in the vastness of the ocean" he looking at you

"you never fail to amaze me spencer reid" you say smiling at him. you see him blush and look away at your complement.

after almost two hours of walking around in the show you guys decide to leave. you both walk to the coffee shop down the street, when you guys walk in you are greeted by the barista behind the counter.

"hi, what can i get you guys" he asks

"can i have a vanilla latte please" you ask, he nods and then looks at spencer.

"black coffee extra sugar please" he asks

"ok would you like anything else" the barista asks

"two chocolate scones" you say quickly before going up the cash register to pay

the barista tell you how much you owe and you pay him before going to sit with spencer at a table. you sit in front of him looking at his facial features, this man was beautiful in every single way.

"what, is there something on my face" he asks completely clueless. you can't help but laugh at his reaction.

"no spence, you're just really handsome" you say turning your head sideways. you see him blush at your compliment.

"you're gorgeous you know, i didn't fell you that earlier but it's true" he says, it's now your turn to blush and look away.

the barista gives you both your coffees and scones, you thank him before you both return to your conversation. you and spencer talk about your favorite piece of art from each exhibit that you saw.

seeing him talk about how much he likes each piece of art that he chose is mesmerizing to you, he is in depth and never misses a detail on why he liked that piece of art. seeing him being passionate about at makes you smile seeing as though you are a fan of art as well.

after a while you both finish you coffee and your scones. you and spencer leave the barista a hefty tip before waving him goodbye and walk out of the building.

after about fifteen minutes you both arrive at your apartment door.

"i had fun tonight" you say looking up at him

"i had fun too, uhm do you want to go out for singer next week" he asks quietly

"i'd love too" you say smiling at him

you both stare at each other and before you know it spencer's lips are on yours, you don't even hesitate to kiss him back your lips moving against his. he moves both of his hands to cup your jaw, deepening the kiss. you have never been kissed so passionately ever.

eventually you both pull apart and he gives you one more quick peck before moving one of his hands.

"good night y/n" he says barely above a whisper

"good night spence"

and that's the last thing you say before he walks down the steps.
