[ SPENCER REID ] IT'S BASIC MATH, REALLY
cw. my continuation of unit chief!spencer reid x gen z!agent, in this installation you try to explain girl math to him [fluff.]
wc. 601 (it's a small blurb)
SPENCER REID KNOWS MATH; HE HAS A PHD IN IT TO PROVE SO. But somehow you've managed to stump him (which happens more often than the genius would like to admit) with the concept of what you call 'girl math.'
It started when you walked into the small crowded bar near the Quantico building where the team had decided to meet up after a particularly satisfying arrest.
You strutted into the room in a pair of gorgeous, expensive-looking shoes, and of course, Penelope had to comment on it.
"Oh my God, Y/N," the blonde practically squealed as she pulled you into a hug, "You look even more gorgeous than usual—I love, love, love those shoes!"
You let out a soft laugh as you joined the rest of the team at the table with a quick greeting. "Thanks, Pen, they were actually pretty cheap," you reply, "I got 'em at Bloomingdales."
"Really?" JJ asked, joining in on the conversation, "Were they having a sale?"
"Nope, but they were only $156," you answer.
Spencer raised his brows in surprise, "You think $156 is a cheap price for one pair of shoes?"
"Mhm," you hum as you take a drink that Luke hands you, "It's girl math."
"Come again?"
"Girl math," you clarify, standing closer to him so that he can hear you over the loud music.
Spencer leans towards you instinctively, genuinely curious about whatever 'girl math' was.
"So, basically, these shoes cost $156, right?" you say as he nods along, "But they're comfortable and cute, plus they go with like four different outfits, which means I'll be wearing them a lot. In the coming month, I'll probably wear them, like, 10 maybe 15 times. Which means that they actually only cost me around 10 to 15 dollars—you know, if you divide 156 by the amount of times I wear them."
"But you don't pay for the shoes in installments," Spencer replied in confusion, "And your shoes aren't a car, the amount you walk in them doesn't depreciate their value like mileage would a car."
You shrug as you take another swig of your drink. "But this way, I make myself feel better about spending $156 on shoes," you reply with a grin.
"So it's a form of consolation?" he replied with a small grin playing on his lips.
You roll your eyes as you give him a soft shove, "Shut up, Dr. Reid."
Spencer lets out a laugh at your playful eye roll.
"Well, either way, you do look nice in them," he said.
"You sayin' I don't usually look nice?" you teased, leaning even closer to him.
The close proximity suddenly made him realize the rest of the team had magically vanished from the table.
(Luke and Penelope had managed to drag JJ and Emily to the dance floor, while Matt, Tara, and Rossi were making conversation with the bartender.)
"Silence, really, doc?" you continued, feigning a hurt expression, "I'm hurt."
"I—I—What, no!" Spencer quickly replied, turning back to you, "That's not what I—what I mean was you look nicer than usual—not that you don't usually look nice or anything—"
You laughed, throwing your head back just a little, as you stopped him from digging himself an even deeper grave. "Calm down, Spence, I was joking."
You put down the now empty glass and grabbed his arm. "C'mon, you need to loosen up, let's dance."
Spencer let you drag him to the dance floor, where he pointedly ignored JJ and Emily's surprised faces as well as Luke and Penelope's eyebrow wiggles.
He was never going to hear the end of this.

MEGUMI HCS!
✎ Since his technique is the ten shadows, everyone likes to say his hands are really cold- and while I agree to some extent I like to think he tries to warm his hands up so you can hold his hand without shivering or something because he feels bad.
✎ Him and Tsumiki always looked at the stars. So he enjoys just going outside and staring up at the stars after a stressful day.
(chapter 156 for a little example)↑↑
✎ Bonus points if you're there and he can ramble on and on about them.
✎ Since he enjoys reading and being outside, you know the default place he is. If he, for some reason, isn't outside reading- he'll be sitting in the window, fist resting on his cheek as he watches the rain fall against the glass.
✎ Regarding the last one- if you walk up to him while he is zoned out watching the rain, he enjoys when you just sit by him wordlessly. He loves when you lean your head on his shoulder, the comfortable silence bringing a smile to his face as the two of you just enjoy each others company.
✎ I like to imagine since he grew up with Gojo (who has a MASSIVE sweet tooth-), That he tends to avoid sweet things. Though every once in a while you go on dates and order a slice of cake. And, he wouldn't admit this, but he'd only eat something sweet if you fed it do him. If he wanted to try something you're eating he just sulks quietly until you offer to feed him.
✎ But- sometimes if you're out on a mission he'll eat your favorite candy and it reminds him of you, even if it does stick to his teeth when he tries chewing it. (Though he complains to himself when he has to brush his teeth later-)
