Summary
“Sir? Can you tell me your name?”
Spencer blinks, trying to clear the spots that are dancing in front of his eyes, but the bright blue lights that are flashing in every direction around him makes it difficult for him to focus his vision on the face that’s now in front of his.
“It’s…Spencer,” he croaks, squinting against the harsh lights that are reflecting off both the darkness around and the haziness that’s hanging in the night air. The acrid smell of oil that’s starting to permeate the space around him isn’t helping either and it makes him cough.

Summary
“H-hotch?”
Spencer squeaks, scrambling back against the dryer. It’s times like this where he forgets that they live in the same building, which is only facilitated by the fact that it barely plays a role in their day to day lives. It’s rare that Hotch offers him a ride, both of them so stuck in their usual routines that they end up taking their own ways to Quantico, and at work, it’s never a big topic of discussion either. Spencer also pointedly doesn’t allow himself to think about it, lest the potential domesticity of it all goes to his head and makes him slip up.
Perhaps, he should have kept his guard up more. Then again, what are the odds of walking into his superior at almost 5 AM in the morning, doing laundry?
“I-I thought you were away with Jack and Jessica this week.” Spencer sputters.
“You’re wearing my shirt.” Hotch points out, flat, straight to the point.
Or: Spencer has a slight mishap and needs to do his laundry in the shared laundry room of the apartment complex both he and Hotch live in. Half naked. In Hotch's shirt. It goes as well as you'd expect it to.

Summary
“We are so sorry, Miss.” Hotch speaks then, voice pleasant and gentle in a way his work persona usually isn't. “We must have missed the name cards at the entrance. You see, my husband here is a bit skittish around crowds and we didn't expect this many people to be here. I wanted to allow him a moment to adjust in peace before we start to give our instructions.” His boss slides an arm around his waist, drawing him close in a way that seems so intimate and easy to any outsider, and also happens to be an absolute contrast to the inner turmoil Spencer is facing. “But you're getting used to it. Aren't you, sweetheart?”
If Spencer had been any less prepared to keep up an act, he might have audibly squeaked at that.
Sweetheart. Sweetheart.
Sweetheart.

Summary
A warm, heavy hand settled on his thigh.
"Relax," Hotch said, fingers flexing.
"You’re messing with me," Spencer accused.
"Am I?" Hotch asked, tilting his head as if he were considering it, leaning in closer.
OR
Hotch comes home in his military uniform, and Spencer cannot contain himself.

Summary
Aaron Hotchner has longed for Spencer Reid since the moment he joined the BAU, even if he's never shown any indication of it. He's used to putting on a stoic mask at work, so hiding his feelings comes as easy to him as profiling does. This all changes when Spencer's life is threatened by an Unsub on a train, and a slip of the tongue has Hotch revealing his true feelings to Spencer. He thinks he's completely screwed up, until later that night when Spencer shows up at his door.
Or, an alternate ending to S01 E09: Derailed.
