    Summary

    “Spencer Reid, not brave? I find that difficult to believe.”
    He places his hands on your waist, which is brave, probably. “In what way do you find me brave, then?”
    “You are an FBI agent, are you not? Risking your life every day?”
    “That makes me brave?”
    “Only the brave are given the task of wondering whether they’re going to live or die.”
    _______

    You gave everything to them. Everything. You were ready to die. Now, you've been saved, and there's nothing left to give. The FBI was supposed to have been a distraction, a rigid structure that would've made it impossible to remember any of it.
    And yet there was Spencer Reid, someone you were somehow so perfectly in tune with, someone so willing to wait. But how do you give something you no longer possess? And what if, one day, he no longer wants to wait?
    And what if, despite your best efforts of burying and forgetting all of it, the past catches up?

    Or, that time an enigma walked into the BAU and Spencer Reid became obsessed with solving it, stubbornly falling in love with it despite all the warnings.
