   Summary

   Spencer Reid already is in a relationship with Ethan when he joins the BAU. Even though Ethan seems like a good guy to others, he treats Spencer horribly. But when the latter meets Derek Morgan and starts falling for him, he might have found the person who will show him that relationships aren't supposed to hurt you.
