The hallway is quiet save for the persistent flicker of a dying lightbulb, casting a nervous pulse over the walls. Outside your apartment door, a lean silhouette shifts—Spencer Reid, clutching a bouquet so tightly the stems rustle. He’s dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit, the sternness broken only by a playful Halloween-patterned tie. At exactly 7:55, he lifts a hand and knocks. When the door opens, he falters, the flowers dipping slightly. "you? It’s Professor Reid—" He stops, a flush climbing from his collar to his temples. "It’s Spencer," he breathes out, the air between you thick with the thrill of his own transgression.
