3 months ago…

You stood in front of Spencer, who was sitting in the chair with a confused look on his face. “Are… are you going to say some…” “Yeah yeah sorry. I just… this is really hard to confront this to you.” You said interrupting him as you paced back in forth. Spencer himself looked a little uneasy too, scared of what your going to say. You’ve been meaning to tell Spencer about your feelings towards him but, he just makes it so hard when he’s so… attractive and sweet and everything you could ask for. You try to be optimistic, thinking maybe he will like you back, like in the movies and it all works out, maybe even a kiss if your lucky. With your positive thoughts, you gained up the courage to stop in your tracks and look him in the eye. “Spencer… I’ve been meaning to tell you that… I like you, a lot. Like not in the friendship way, but the relationship way. I really hope this doesn’t ruin our friendship and-and if you don’t like me back that’s totally okay. We could just put this behind us and pretend this 10 minutes never happened.” You rambled as you broke eye contact with him. You looked back up at him and he hesitated, his mouth opening and closing as he doesn’t know what to say. “God… that was… Spencer I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have put you in this position. I’m so stupid…” “No Y/N your not stupid. It’s just… I need time to process this okay?” He said grabbing your hands in his. He’s never done that before. Is this a sign? “Okay okay I totally understand thank you for not running away or anything like that.” You said as he grazed the tops of your hands with his thumbs.

Present day…

You sat at your desk, as you and the rest of the team go through files until you heard the door open and footsteps walking towards you. “Here is your latte.” Scott, the new intern, said giving you the steaming up as he kept low key. “Thanks.” You whispered. He always came to ask if you needed anything. It wasn’t really a part of his job, but when he wasn’t doing anything, he seeks out if you need assistance. And if you do need anything, most of the time it is coffee. Scott is very sweet, funny, and he’s even cute. You have kind of started to grow on him and started to have the slightest crush on him with all of the attention he gives you. But when Spencer said he needed time to process your feelings, it wasn’t a nicer way to say no. He really needed to think about it, not just to let it go. And he’s been thinking about you ever since that day, and he is starting to take a little more interest in you. The way you twirl your hair between your fingers. The way your brow creases when you concentrate. The way certain clothes hug your body. And the biggest symptom he has noticed about himself, is that he doesn’t like Scott. Why? Because he’s constantly with you. Constantly making you happy. Spencer can’t even deny himself that it’s jealousy. He would watch as he brought you coffee and you smiling widely at him and Spencer would cringe. He hated seeing him even near you. He missed the little gestures you had toward him. He wanted you to pay more attention to him like you used to, when Spencer was so oblivious to your love for him. But the next day, when he was sitting at his desk with a book in his lap, he couldn’t help but over hear your’s and Scott’s conversation. “So I was wondering if you had any plans tonight?” “Ummm not that I can think of. What do you have in mind?” You asked twirling your hair again. “I was wondering if you wanted to get some pizza and watch a few movies at my place tonight. You like marvel right?” He asked motioning towards your little Captain America pin on your bag. You giggled and nodded. “Yeah that sounds great!” You said. “Alright um I’ll text you a little later then.” He said with a toothy grin. “Okay.” You said turning back to your work. You turn your head to the right and saw Spencer’s face had gone pale. “Spence are you okay?” You ask furrowing your brow. “What um yeah I’m going to use the restroom.” He said quickly wiping a tear that fell down his cheek. You were half tempted to follow him, the image of a saddened Spencer broke your heart, but you decided to stay. As Spencer rushed to the bathroom, he couldn’t help but stop in his tracks at the familiar voice. He peeked around the corner and saw the dumb intern he hated, Scott, on the phone. “Yeah she’s a total babe… movies and pizza… I know right.” He said a few chuckles in between. Spencer stayed where he was, eavesdropping on your date. “Dude totally, I was probably going to bang her in the first place.” Spencer gasped and immediately ran back inside the bullpen. “Y/N can we talk like right now please?” He requested quickly approaching you, earning odd looks from a few of the team members. “Yeah Spence are you okay?” You ask as he laced his fingers with yours and took you into one of the back rooms. He shut the door and ran his fingers through his hair. “Spencer are you okay?” You ask for the third time. “Yeah… I mean kind of. I need to tell you something. Well two somethings. One your not going to like and I’m not sure about the other.” He rambled quickly pacing as he tugged at his hair. You interrupted his path and took hold of his wrists. “Spence calm down. Tell me what you need to say.” You said looking into his slightly red eyes. “Um I was going to the restroom and I overheard something. Y/N you can’t go with that guy okay? Please don’t. I don’t want you getting hurt.” He pleaded. “Spence he’s a nice guy he wouldn’t hurt me.” You say calmly. “No no you don’t understand he said… he’s going to… he’s going to disrespect you… he just wants you in his bed. I heard him on the phone and he said he planned on…” “Having sex with me?” You said finishing his sentence and saving him the pain of saying it himself. “Yeah but he used a more vulgar term.” He quietly said. “Screwing me?” “No.” “Knocking me up?” “Definitely not.” “Does it start with an F?” “No! He said he was going to bang you and I… I don’t want that happening to you.” He said as heat rose to his cheeks. You felt a heat rise too, but it wasn’t blush. The fact that Scott thought he could just use you for sex made you mad. You pulled out your phone and texted him that the date was off and he was an asshole. “There. I’ll give him a more professional confrontation tomorrow.” You say shoving your phone back into your back pocket. You expected to look up at Spencer and see a small smile on his lips, but his eyes were glued to the floor and he was biting his bottom lip. “Spencer what’s wrong? You said you had something else to tell me, is that it?” You asked easily getting under his gaze because of how tall he was. He nodded blinking quickly as he wiped his eyes. He’s crying. “Spencer please tell me what’s wrong.” You said your stomach curling up at the sight of Spencer sad. “Do… do you still like me?” He asked quietly. “Of course I do Spencer. Your my best friend. You didn’t ruin the date you actually saved me from it, so good job.” You said nudging his arm. You didn’t understand. “I’ve been thinking, ever since I told you I needed to, about how you liked me in the non-friendship relationship way.” He said quietly. That’s what was wrong. “Spencer I’m so sorry. I didn't… do you like me back?” You asked stepping closer to him. He looked up slightly, giving you the saddest puppy eyes you have ever seen, and he nodded. “Spencer I still like you. I’m sorry I put you through that.” You said grazing your thumb across his cheek, making his face light up. “You do?” He asked as you thought about all of the flirting you did in front of Spencer. “Of course. I just… I didn’t think you liked me back so I decided it was time to try to move on but your a tough cookie to move on from.” You said bopping him lightly on the nose. He smiled that adorable smile you fell in love with in the first place. “Well it’s about quitting time so what do you say we get some pizza and watch some Marvel movies?” You asked lacing your fingers with his. “Yeah I would love that.” He said smiling as he held your hands in his. You hesitated, but then stood on your tiptoes and placed a chaste kiss on his cheek before walking out of the little room. Spencer stood there breathless, his cheek tingling where you placed the kiss. He smiled to himself before following you out. You turned around and saw Spencer standing directly behind you. You looked at him and smiled, this is the man you should have been going out with in the first place.
