Summary
Spencer takes Hotch’s hand in his own and brings it across the space between them to rest over his knees, cradled in both of his hands like something precious. Hotch doesn’t object, silently watching Spencer’s movements with a wary tilt of his head.
“Do you always change parts of yourself to manage other’s perceptions?” The question trips past Spencer's lips before he can think better of it.
Hotch tenses, his hand clenching and unclenching in Spencer’s hold like he wants to pull away from the conversation, from Spencer. His hand stays in place.
“Doesn’t everyone?” He asks quietly, and something about his tone makes Spencer look up for the first time since he started this bizarre interrogation.
Spencer almost doesn’t want to break it to him.
“No,” he says, looking back to the hand in his lap and lacing their fingers together for a selfish moment, a breath, “not everyone.”
AKA A night out with the team quickly devolves, and Spencer’s still dizzy trying to put it back together.

Summary
Spencer Reid felt like an idiot. Someone like Aaron Hotchner wouldn't fall in love with him. The thought alone was ridiculous- but yet, for the last few months, it had felt like Aaron had been flirting with him and Spencer’s stupid, vulnerable heart had latched onto it like a leech; sucking every part of affection and attention up like a sponge, always wanting more. His hope had been shattered when Aaron introduced his new girlfriend Beth Clemmons to the group.
To Aaron she seems like the perfect partner and an easy distraction from the one he actually wants.
The rest of the team had all been convinced that Aaron had been flirting with Spencer. Morgan sets his mind on finding out whether or not Aaron was just stringing him along.
Awkward match making ensues..
(Not Beth Clemmons friendly.)

Summary
While on a case, the local sheriff turns out to be extremely ableist towards Reid.
But Hotch is there to help, as always.
This is like heavily 'Hotch being a father figure to Reid' type of thing because I have daddy issues and I need them to function so if you don't like it, don't read it.
This is happening while Spencer has the boy band haircut bcs it's my favorite hairstyle of his ^_^
