Summary: Spencer and Bunny have a discussion about socks (and a strange wedding invitation in his mailbox). A/N: This is a bit of a “filler” chapter, meaning that it’s mostly closing out/setting up arcs. Next chapter is a big one, though. I can’t wait to share it with you all! (Gif is mine) Couple: Spencer Reid/Fem!Reader Category: Slow Burn (NSFW, 18+) Content Warning: Mentions of bastinado (foot whipping from Revelations), canon consistent trauma, parents arguing, holidays.

The hardest thing about dating a profiler is that they see the world in a very different way. Spencer, for example, often saw the worst-case scenario to any situation in our daily lives. I had quickly learned that the worst-case scenario to basically everything was me being mortally wounded in a dramatic fashion.
So when I told him that I had to meet with Professor Hawkin, his first instinct was to tell me ‘no.’ I stopped him before he’d had the chance. Not only was the meeting mandatory, but she’d also even gone through the trouble of sending me a second and third invite when I’d taken too long to respond. The last one had included a simple note of, “I need to speak with you. You deserve an apology.”
