《Two Existentialists | S.R.》62
Advertisement
Valentine's Day. A holiday you had hated up until Spencer Reid had walked into your life. He made it special, even though he spent the last 2 out on cases. But this year he was home. And you were ecstatic.
It was a Friday and you had to go to work. As did he, paperwork only. You snuck out of the house early, hoping to finish work by 2pm so you could come home. You kissed him softly before you left, Spencer muttering something about it being criminal that you were leaving him. You shook your head at his antics.
When you got to work, there was a box on your desk. Weird, all packages usually were shipped to the lab tech. You opened the box to see a necklace with your birthstone and a single hydrangea. You smiled, placing the necklace in your purse and smelling the hydrangea.
An hour later, there was a knock at your door. You looked up, confused, not expecting anyone at 9 am. A man came in and handed you an iced latte and another hydrangea. You rolled your eyes, thanking the man.
An hour later you were brought another present. A box of chocolates and another flower.
At 11 am it was a teddy bear holding a hydrangea.
At 12pm it was your favorite meal from this cute cafe just off campus, with a flower of course.
An hour later it was a picture frame and a hydrangea.
Just as you were finishing up at 2pm, your assistant handed you another package. This time it was a box that you unwrapped to see purple lace and a half dozen hydrangeas in the middle. You flushed, closing the box quickly, twirling the flower in your hand. At this point you had a bouquet of flowers and so many presents.

You rushed to your car, getting home before Spencer. You walked inside and placed the flowers in a vase in the kitchen, walking up the stairs to your bedroom. Inside, Spencer was sitting on the bed, legs crossed, grinning at you. "How are you home already?" You asked, beaming at him. "Your car isn't in the driveway either."
"Asked the neighbors if I could park it in there's to surprise you. Also finished up work in record time so I could beat you home," he replied as you put the gifts down on the ottoman and laced your arms around his neck. "Did you like my gifts?" he whispered, his eyes fixed on your movements.**
"Stop spoiling me," you muttered, kissing him gently. You pulled away ever so slightly, looking into his eyes. "I love you."
"I love you," he responded, pulling your lips back to his. You climbed into his lap, straddling him as you deepened the kiss, your fingers in his hair. His hands gripped your hips softly, his hands eerily soft as your top rode up.
The two of you eventually separated, your lips slightly swollen as Spencer traced them with his thumb. "I'm sorry," he mumbled, making you frown.
"Sorry for what?"
"Sorry that this is our first real Valentine's Day."
"Just because we weren't physically together for the last 2 doesn't mean they weren't real. I loved our movie night when you got back. And how you surprised me with ice cream when I was at MIT," you consoled, kissing his cheek. He nodded, hugging you softly. "Now, what am I supposed to do with this gift?" you asked, picking up the box with the purple garments.
"Wear them with your new dress," Spencer whispered, his head resting in the crevice of your neck.

"New dress?"
"It's your 3pm gift," he said kissing your cheek. "In the closet."
"Spencer!" You shrieked, standing up. "Stop spoiling me."
"Technically it's not spoiling you since we're married and my money is your money."

"Spencer! This place is ridiculously expensive," you moaned as he parked the car. He rolled his eyes, getting out and opening your door.
"It's Valentine's Day Y/N," he retorted.
"This is The Inn at Little Washington. It has 3 Michelin stars Spence. How did you even manage this?"
He smiled, kissing your forehead, guiding you inside. "Do we really need to ask that question?"
You shook your head, leaning into his arms. He was wearing a black suit with a gray tie that matched your gray dress. He always amazed you, not just in his thoughtful actions, but also how he always managed to make everything perfect.
As you sat and enjoyed a lovely meal, your hand intertwined with his across the table, you couldn't keep the smile off of your face. "Spencer Reid, thank you for being you," you muttered as he draped your coat across your shoulders.
"Y/N, thank you for loving me," he replied, kissing your forehead.
"Home?" you asked, looking up at him with a grin.
"Oh yes, I'd like to see my 2pm gift to you, preferably on the floor," he whispered, opening your car door. You shook your head, blushing lightly. He would be the death of you.

Homeland
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- In Cory Doctorow’s wildly successful Little Brother, young Marcus Yallow was arbitrarily detained and brutalized by the government in the wake of a terrorist attack on San Francisco—an experience that led him to become a leader of the whole movement of technologically clued-in teenagers, fighting back against the tyrannical security state.A few years later, California's economy collapses, but Marcus’s hacktivist past lands him a job as webmaster for a crusading politician who promises reform. Soon his former nemesis Masha emerges from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump of hard evidence of corporate and governmental perfidy. It’s incendiary stuff—and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. Then Marcus sees Masha being kidnapped by the same government agents who detained and tortured Marcus years earlier.Marcus can leak the archive Masha gave him—but he can’t admit to being the leaker, because that will cost his employer the election. He’s surrounded by friends who remember what he did a few years ago and regard him as a hacker hero. He can’t even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. He’s not at all sure that just dumping the archive onto the Internet, before he’s gone through its millions of words, is the right thing to do.Meanwhile, people are beginning to shadow him, people who look like they’re used to inflicting pain until they get the answers they want. Fast-moving, passionate, and as current as next week, Homeland is every bit the equal of Little Brother—a paean to activism, to courage, to the drive to make the world a better place.
