"i honestly just want to go home and go to sleep," you muttered to reid as the two of you were walking through the hallway and towards your desks to put stuff away. "your bed sounds so comfortable right now."

reid chuckled. "and you sound ready to cuddle so, i'm definitely prepared to do that."

you smiled sleepily, walking over to your desk as you set your stuff down for a minute to try and wake yourself up a little. garcia called reid over to ask him a question so, the rookie took his chance to go talk to you.

"_____," he said softly as you looked up at him.

"yeah?" you asked, picking up your phone and sliding it into your pocket before putting your bag back underneath your desk.

"you look kinda tired," he said gently, glancing over to see your boyfriend and garcia still talking. "everything okay?"

you nodded.

"yeah, everything's fine. i'm always tired after working hard, rookie. what's up with the questions?"

"well," he began. "i can always help you sleep better on the way home if you need me to?"

you furrowed your brows in confusion.

"i usually just stay with reid, but thanks, i guess," you muttered, a little weirded out by his remark. you were hoping reid would be done soon so you two could just go home and luckily, he walked back on over and let out a sigh.

"ready to go?" he asked as you nodded.

"bye, rookie. see you tomorrow," you said, walking past him and towards the door to leave with reid right beside you.

"spence?" you said, watching him come back into the bedroom in his apartment that you basically lived at now, and setting his book down on the nightstand before getting into the bed beside you.

"yeah?" he asked, pulling the blankets up to him as you looked over at him.

"elijah," you began. "he offered to help me sleep better on the jet tonight while you were talking with garcia."

he furrowed his brows.

"what?"

you nodded. "i mean, i've either stayed awake with you and morgan and played cards or ended up falling asleep against your arm, which is one of my favorite things to do because you're comfortable," you said honestly. "but i know you're super jealous right now, so i wasn't going to really mention it but it bothered me."

he nodded, looking off to the side of his bedroom as you waited for him to say something.

"who are you sleeping next to right now?" he asked, looking back over at you.

"you," you said softly.

"who do you think you're more comfortable to sleep with?" he asked as you looked off to the side in confusion as you furrowed your brows.

"you," you said slowly, confused as to where he was going with this entire thing.

"who do you think you're more likely to stay the night with and get some sleep with?" he asked.

"you," you said, looking up at him.

"exactly," reid said. "oh, i'm jealous for sure but seeing you actually next to me and in my bed puts me back in a calmer state. because i love you, ______. and it's good to be able to have you with me because you're like my comfort."

you smiled at him, seeing him reach over and turn off the lamp light. you found him immediately, pushing yourself into his hold as you sighed.

"______, one last question," he said softly in the night. you nodded.

"yeah?" you said, gently.

"who did you just immediately cuddle into?" he asked.

"you," you said sweetly, loosening up completely in his grasp that he had on you. you smiled to yourself as reid pressed a kiss to your head.

"exactly;" he muttered. "i'll show the rookie that you're mine, but behind all the closed doors and outside of our job, i know you're mine and you, hopefully. know that i'm yours."

you nodded slowly, muttering out something that reid couldn't totally understand but you were soon fast asleep as he smiled to himself.

he loved you and he would show that rookie how much he loved you.
