scrabble - spencer reid

i m a g i n e

“don’t tell me you’re playing that stupid game again,” hotch teased, whizzing past the table with a monotone coating to every word. you swore that man would use the exact voice warning someone of an oncoming car that he would reciting pi.

you stared at the letters in front of you; your eyes scanning and magnifying each fragment of wood as if you were a robot. you were playing to win. you had to, at least once. his winning streak of twelve to your zero was more embarrassing than the time you fell down holding somebody at gunpoint. you wanted to shudder at the memory.

he leaned back into his chair, crossing his arms as if you were entertaining in your torturous state of mind. “i don’t understand. your entire career is based on cracking complex codes and you can’t come up with a word more than two letters.” he stated mockingly, but with the everlasting sincerity he was known for.

you slid the pieces across the board- looking him right in the eyes. “i’ll extend on your ‘faqir’ to make ‘quixotry’ for twenty-seven points." you tried your best to keep calm with every word. "do you know what that means, reid?”

the color drained from his face. “no way.”

“i beat you!” i sprung up with a grin, dancing around carelessly. “i beat you, i beat you, i beeeeeeat you!”

you could tell he was bothered in a playful manner. no one is supposed to beat spencer reid at scrabble. no one is supposed to beat spencer reid at anything, for that matter. you ate it up; his expression. it was priceless.

he put everything back in the box, trying to ignore you jokingly. “i know you looked in the bag.”

“excuse me?” you froze. “you know i wouldn’t do that.”

the boy stood up, towering over you as he shoved the box into your hands. he quietly let the words out across from your lips. “you put your chin in your hand whenever you’re hiding something, y/n.”
