《Two Existentialists | S.R.》45

You called Spencer's phone, as you sat in your office. "Hey," you began.
"Hi, this is Dr. Spencer Reid, I actually can come to the phone right now with a very special message that your mother is a," Spencer said before hanging up. You looked at the phone in shock before putting it down.
An hour later you got a call from Spencer. You picked up, hearing his gentle voice. "Hi beautiful angel."
"Spence, what was the special message about my mom?" You asked, laughing.
"Oh my god that was you. I'm so sorry baby. I didn't mean it. Morgan gave my number to reporters and I've been getting calls all day."
"Why would Derek do that?"
"I don't know Y/N. But I've got to get back to him."
"You're a genius. You'll come up with something amazing."
"I mean, I don't think genius applies but," Spencer said trialing off. You grinned, his rambling making butterflies appear in your stomach as per usual.
"Spencer Reid, have I told you I love you?"
"Hmm, I don't think so," he teased. "I love you more pretty girl. I can't wait to come home to you."
"Hurry up," you muttered. "I don't sleep well without you."
"Neither do I Y/N. I've gotta go, I'll be home soon," he whispered before hanging up.
Two days later you were half asleep when Spencer slid into bed, wrapping his arms around you. Your turned in his arms, his touch waking you up. "Sorry to wake you," he whispered. You shook your head, kissing him softly in response.
"I'm happy you're home."
"I'm happy to be home," he replied, kissing you again. You pressed yourself against him, making him groan. "Y/N, don't."
"Spencer shut up," you muttered, your hands reaching for his boxers. Spencer kissed you harder, pressing you against the bed.
"It's 2 am Y/N," he whispered.
"I'm aware. I missed you," you said, wrapping your legs around his waist.
"I can tell," he teased, kissing you to muffle the sounds of your late night activities.
In the morning you woke up to see the space next to you was empty. You sat up and held your head in your hands before standing up and putting on one of Spencer's shirts. Hushed voices came from the main floor, making you freeze in your spot on the stairs.

"It's called being in love Spencer," a female voice said. You squinted, trying to figure out what was happening.
"I know JJ. It's just, how's she going to take it?"
"She'll be fine. Just tell her."
"I have to figure out a way to do it. The right way."
"It'll be ok Spence. Stop worrying so much,"
JJ said, standing up and giving him a hug. Spencer nodded and followed JJ to the door, kissing her cheek before closing the door. You walked down the steps from the spot where you had been watching the exchange.
"Hi pretty girl. Sleep well?" Spencer asked as you entered the kitchen. You nodded, reaching for the coffee cup. "How's your day look?"
"I have to go to Georgetown to finish setting up my lab. It should only take an hour or two," you said, taking a sip of coffee.
"I'll drive you if you want? I have some business at Georgetown."
"I can drive myself," you snapped, the words from the morning circling in your head.
Spencer frowned, kissing your forehead. "Ok baby. Mind if I come with then?"
You nodded, Spencer's fingers tapping along the bottom of your spine. You shivered, your hand pressed against his chest. "I'm going to go change," you whispered, moving out of his hold.
"Oh I wish you wouldn't," he yelled after you. You turned and shook your head at him, his words making you grin.
You walked upstairs and changed into a skirt and a blouse. You put on some converse and tied your hair up in a ponytail. You walked into the bathroom to put some mascara on.
Spencer followed you in, his arms wrapping around your midsection, his hand rubbing your stomach softly. "It's nice to have a day with you," he whispered, kissing your neck.
"Spence, did I hear JJ this morning?" You asked, feeling Spencer tense.
"Yeah, she stopped by for a little."
"Hmmm, that's nice. How's Henry? And will?"
"They're good. You should've came and said hello," Spencer said resting his head on your shoulder.
"I was not in a state of hosting," you whispered.
"I guess you're right. If you didn't have to go in, our morning would have ended very differently."

You blushed, turning in his arms. "Spencer!"
"Don't act like you don't like it when I say things like this."
"Spencer I don't like it," you said, playing with his hair. "I freaking love it. It's hot."
"How on time do you have to be?" Spencer asked, bending his head to kiss your neck.
"I have to accept a shipment in 30 minutes. How about when we get home?"
"Ok baby," Spencer whispered, pulling away before walking into his closet and changing into a button up and dark grey pants. You blushed, watching him walk into the room as he did his tie. You loved how this pair of pants fit him, they were tight in all the right places. "What are you staring at?"
"Honestly? Your butt," you said with a smirk. Spencer blushed, looking at you with his mouth slightly open.
"Y/N!"
"What? You look good," you said, picking up your purse. Spencer grabbed you, holding you in his arms, one of his hands resting lower than usual. "Spencer, getting a little frisky are we?"
"What? You get to ogle mine."
"Touché. But we seriously need to leave," you whispered, pecking him quickly. He frowned but nodded, linking his hand with yours as you walked out to the car. You drove to Georgetown, parking in your spot. The entire ride was spent discussing a new lab technique with Spencer, meanwhile your head was thinking about what JJ had said this morning. What could their conversation have been about?
"Y/N," Spencer said, breaking your trance.
"Hmm?"
"I said, I have something to get from a criminology professor for my upcoming lecture series. I'll meet you at your lab afterwards?"
"Sounds good babe," you said, stepping out of the car. An hour later, you had finished up at the lab. You called Spencer, trying to find where he was. "Spence, where are you?"
"Sorry, I got sidetracked working on my lesson plan. I'm in L213 of the criminology building if you want to meet me here?"
"Yeah, be there in a few," you said, walking to his location. You walked in to see Spencer leaning against the podium, looking over some papers. "Ready to go home?"
"One second," Spencer said, flipping through pages. You walked over, looking at them.
"Spence? Weren't these the same notes from the first lecture you gave me?" You asked. Spencer looked up, nodding gently before bending down.
"Y/N, I knew from our first interaction in this very room that you were someone I wanted to get to know," he began, reaching for your hand.
"Spencer," you muttered, shaking your head, tears welling in your eyes as he opened the ring box.
"You're everything I want in life and more, you're perfect. And you decided that I was worth your time. Thank you, pretty girl, thank you so much. I love you with my whole heart, ventricles and all. So, will you, miss Y/F/N, do this man with terrible posture the honor of marrying him?"
You were sobbing at this point, nodding furiously as Spencer slid the ring onto your finger, pressing his lips to your hand.** He stood up and pulled you into his arms, kissing your head.
"I cannot believe you agreed to marry me," Spencer muttered.
You looked up at him and caressed his face gently. "You've known I'd say yes from the moment I said I love you. I'm yours, Spencer, forever."
Spencer smiled and kissed you. "I've never done it in a lecture hall," he whispered in your ear, biting your earlobe.
"Spencer!" You shrieked, pulling away from him. He grinned, kissing you softly.
"I'm kidding. Let's go home?" He asked, letting you out of his arms. You nodded, locking your fingers with his.
"Hmm, home sounds good. JJ and you were talking about this this morning weren't you?"
"Yeah." Spencer said, kissing your hand. "I was worried for no reason."
"Yeah," you replied as you got to the car. "There's a gift waiting for you at home."
"Is there?"
"Oh yeah, and I think you'll like it," you said, leaning against him. He blushed, opening the door for you. When you got home, Spencer was in for the treat of his life.

Journey West 5000
With her parents murdered and her brother abducted, a trainee Monk of the Gun pursues the one responsible, the Bull Demon King, undefeated Warlord of the Crimson Army.Struggling to track down her enemy while braving the dangers of the wilds, she enlists the help of Sun Wukong, but 500 years under a mountain have taken its toll. Unstable and weakened, will he be more hindrance than help? Can he become the warrior he once was?A Monk and a Monkey journey across a world...... where the remnants of technology are seen as magic, while pockets of humanity strive to drag themselves out of ignorance.... where the descendants of animal-human hybrids, once created as instruments of war, now seek to dominate the world as demons.... where beings who call themselves Immortals and Gods preoccupy themselves with selfish pastimes, ignoring everything else. Among other things, a story about growth, grit, and being better than the person you were yesterday. Here's my rambling on why I'm writing Journey West 5000. Journey West 5000 is my crazy ambitious writing project to adapt a classic epic called "Journey to the West" for a global, modern audience. It's a sci-fi story disguised as fantasy, and has some road trip + monster of the week elements (as does the original Journey to the West). No system, definitely no harem, gradual power progression. Hmm, what else can I put here so potential readers know what to expect? My writing style for now is mostly "show don't tell", because I believe that readers don't need to have everything pointed out to them, and that they should be allowed to make up their own minds about characters based on the actions of those characters. I'm also trying to be less long-winded (a weakness pointed out by some friends) in order to write according to something Neil Gaiman said, which is to write as though I'm the one who has to pay for every word, not the reader. This will bring down my chapter word counts, and might drive away potential readers, but I believe there's value in learning to compress and be concise. All chapters posted here will have been edited. Constructive criticism, comments, and feedback would be very much welcome and appreciated. Please, please help point out any typos or grammatical mistakes, I'm striving to minimize those as much as possible. Above all, I hope you enjoy my story.

Unwitting Champion
"In stories this is always easy. There's magic and powers, and quick steps to claiming that power for one's self. This doesn't feel true for me. I'm supposed to be a Champion, whatever that means, and yet I don't feel important. I don't have all the bells and whistles, which honestly feels familiar even in a new world. But what was I expecting? I haven't had the worst life - there are people with worse problems than mine - I've known what it is to struggle, to be pulled down instead of being helped up.This is nothing new."When in great peril, the Kingdom of Althor has no choice but to send a call into the void, beseeching the Fates to bring them a man who would save them from the coming darkness. Unfortunately the path the Fates chart is often unknowable to men and the Champion who appears is not what the kingdom expected.Unwitting Champion is a story of a guy displaced, dealing first and foremost with trying to survive in a world where he is no longer a person but a tool, and - at least from the reaction of those around him - a shoddy one at that. His major goal is to survive long enough that either he can run or find a way home, because as exciting as the possibility of learning magic might be, he would rather have a boring life than a short life.
