I don't know why I suddenly decided I wanted to write a Reid/Blake story but I did. I felt like there was such an opportunity missed for Blake to be involved in Reid being arrested and then released. So here is Reid and Blake story…

"Don't leave me, ever again."

"Never mom, never again," Spencer whispered, his arms tightening around his mother before he closed his eyes and sighed. His mom was safe. She hadn't been hurt and he was free. He was finally free. He could walk in and out of a room whenever he felt like it, he could talk to whoever he wanted and he could feel safe. He didn't have to keep checking over his shoulder to see who was watching him, who was the biggest threat. "I'm never leaving again," Spencer said quietly, desperately trying to stop himself from crying in the middle of the bureau corridor.

"Can we go home?" Diana asked, loosening her hold of her son before stepping back, a sad smile decorating her face when Reid nodded. Glancing behind his mother to see only Penelope watching them in silence, Reid smiled before walking towards his friend and wrapping his arms around her again, a small laugh leaving his lips when Penelope's arms tightened around his body to squeeze him.

"Thank you," Spencer said to her quietly.

"There's someone else waiting to see you before you leave," Penelope whispered in his ear, surprising him. Who else was there? He'd seen everyone on the team, he had been reunited with his mother. He couldn't think of anyone else who would be waiting for him. No one else knew that he had been in jail. He had asked them not to disturb Morgan with what had happened.

"Hello Spencer," a voice suddenly called out. It couldn't be. He couldn't believe it. Feeling Garcia move away from him, Spencer breathed out before smiling weakly and looking at his mom.

"Mom, I'd love a coffee before we go home. Could you go with Garcia and get me one? Make sure she doesn't put too many sugars in it?" Reid asked quietly, his mother nodding slowly before Penelope smiled and led the older woman away to get a coffee. Turning to face the waiting brunette, Spencer felt a nervous smile decorate his face when he took in the sight of Alex standing ahead of him, her hands buried in her jeans pocket to hide how nervous she was.

"Spencer," Alex repeated as they continued to stare at each other across the corridor. How was she here? She was supposed to be in Boston. They had talked to each other weekly after she had left but he had made it very clear to Garcia that he hadn't wanted anyone, other than the current team, to know that he had been arrested for murder. He knew that Blake would have wanted to come back and help and he hadn't wanted to drag her back into this world, a world she had left after seeing him injured.

"Alex," Spencer whispered, suddenly unable to stop himself from moving towards her while she dropped the bag that had been on her shoulder onto the floor. "Alex," he repeated to himself, laughing lightly when her arms wrapped tightly around his neck and he lifted her briefly, his arms moving around her waist while she giggled lightly. "You're actually here," Spencer said to her, her feet finally touching the ground before she looked up to him, her arms moving from around his neck so she could brush her fingers across his cheek.

"You need to shave," Alex whispered, her fingers brushing through his hair briefly before she shook her head.

"I haven't had the chance yet," Spencer smiled, his forehead resting against hers before they closed their eyes. "What are you doing here Alex? Why aren't you in Boston?" he asked quietly, his arms remaining around her while his hands rested gently on the small of her back.

"I've been trying to call you and you weren't answering your phone. I thought maybe you didn't want to speak to me but it felt wrong," she admitted quietly, remaining perfectly still in his arms. "You've never ignored my calls and its been such a long time since we've talked so I called Garcia, and she told me everything. She told me that you'd just been released from jail so I came straight away. I had to see you," Alex blurted out suddenly, her nerves obvious. "Why didn't you tell me you'd been arrested Reid? I would have come straight away to help, I could have done something to help," she said, her frustration obvious when she shook her head. When she had found out that Reid had spent weeks in prison and she had done nothing to help, she had thrown her stuff straight into her bag and driven to the Bureau, where she had spent the last few hours waiting for him to come back.

"That's exactly why Alex," he whispered, his eyes opening before he gently pressed a kiss into her hair. "I wasn't going to give Scratch another target," he said quietly, her eyes blinking open before she rested her hand against his cheek, a sad smile decorating her face as she stared at him. He hadn't told her because he had wanted to protect her. He was always protecting her. This wonderful, kind man hadn't told her because he was trying to save her, just like when he'd taken a bullet meant for her. "And I didn't want you to see me like that Alex, I know how hard you found it when I was shot and I couldn't do that to you," he admitted quietly before moving his hand from her back to rest against her hand. "You're not wearing your ring," Reid commented, her head nodding while his eyebrows rose.

"That was why I was trying to call you but we can discuss it another time Spencer, you need to go home. Your mom will want to spend time with you alone and you need to rest," she said quietly, confusion covering her face when she took in the expression that was covering his face. She'd never seen that look. He looked lost and confused, but differently to when he was uncertain. "What's…" she began, falling silent when he gently brushed his lips against hers. "Spencer," she whispered breathlessly against his lips when they separated moments later. Where had that kiss come from?

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't…," Reid began, her head shaking before she leant up and kissed him again, his arms tightening around her body as they deepened the kiss. Moving away slowly, Alex smiled at the younger agent while Reid laughed gently. "Did we? Are we? Wow," Spencer mumbled nervously, the amazement obvious in his voice. Alex couldn't resist wrapping her arms around his neck and holding him close to her again. She had sat waiting for him to come back for hours. She had thought about everything that could have gone wrong, how Spencer might have been changed by what had happened and yet this man was the same nervous, wonderful man that she was so close to. "We need to talk about this," Spencer whispered.

"I know but not now," Alex responded. She had just kissed someone who had once been her colleague, someone who was a close friend, someone who she deeply admired and cared about. Someone who was much younger than her. "You need to go home, spend some time with your mom, get some sleep," she whispered, moving away from him but stopping when his hand moved to take hold of hers. "Spencer," she smiled gently, his fingers lacing with hers as they stood in the corridor together. "Get some sleep, call me tomorrow," she smiled as Reid nodded and lifted her hand to his lips, pressing a kiss against her knuckles as she shook her head.

"I will, I'll call," Reid promised before letting go of her hand and watching when she lifted her bag and rested it on her shoulder. "I better go and find my mom, she'll want to get home," he whispered, the brunette nodding as they began to walk towards the elevator together. "Drive safely," Reid smiled.

"Try not to get in trouble again before I see you," Alex responded, the doctor shaking his head before he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her again, the elevator doors suddenly opening. "I think that's my cue to leave," Alex responded, stepping out of his arms before she entered the elevator. "Go home Spence," the brunette stated before the elevator doors closed, the doctor smiling to himself as he turned to face the doors to his the BAU.

He was home.
