[And what she thought was her cat, wasn't. As in, really wasn't. It was Spencer's hair, shifting in the breeze from his fan and tickling along her skin.

Unfortunately for Reid, this means that his rather pleasant morning full of afterglow-y napping was rather rudely interrupted. By a hand slapping at his face.

Jerking awake, he was half out of bed before he realized what was going on and he caught her wrist with a disgruntled sound.]

Em, please stop hitting me in my own bed..

[tostillbehuman]

[What could she say? Sergio was the perfect man. Save for the fact that he was a cat. No wonder her thoughts went there first.

Until his hand captured her wrist, making Emily startle. Only to half turn toward him, lips twitching in a slight grin.]

Well, good morning to you too...

[Although she can't say she'd exactly be chipper either if someone had done that to her first thing in the morning.]

[dr_pretty_boy]

[Chipper was for people with coffee in their systems. Spencer was, contrary to popular belief, not a morning person. It took him several cups of his coffee to get him going enough to be the smiling agent that walked into the bullpen when they worked. He stayed up way too late to be a morning person, usually only grabbing a few hours of sleep before slapping his alarm away and hauling himself out of bed.

This morning had been no exception. However, the cause had been...slightly different and that reason alone was enough to make him smile a little awkwardly as he released her wrist and reclaimed his pillow, pulling the blankets back up over them because, what do you know, it got cold when you were naked.]

Sorry. You caught my eye and it was a little...unsettling.

[tostillbehuman]

[Their job wasn't exactly one that kept them nine to five with weekends off, and she was used to strange sleeping habits. Then again, she had always known what she was getting into in that regard, and while there might be days where she'd complain, when push came to shove, it was all part of the job.

Still, she can't help but snort. She smacked him in the face, and he's the one apologizing. With a teasing tone as she stretched, before curling back into the mattress-]

I guess apology accepted then.

[dr_pretty_boy]

[Spencer had never bothered with a traditional sleep schedule. After his dad had left, he'd spent a lot of nights up with his manic mother, yawning through school the next day and still managing to skip several grades. It was a habit that had followed him all through his life, and it all accumulated now in him managing to survive on an average of three hours a night most of the time.

Muffling a jaw popping yawn into his pillow, he shifted...a little awkward now that he was actually awake enough to think about what had happened. He wanted clothes and a shower, but that might have been perceived as odd or even disrespectful, so he compromised. Swinging his legs over the side of his bed, he grabbed a pair of boxers, drawing them up slim hips.]

Hungry? I can make a mean egg sandwich. Or, if you like, we can go out. Or you could go out and I could pay for it. Not that I think you'd make me pay! No, I just..I'd want to pay. Unless you wanted to pay, of course. Then you can pay, but then, if [Stop him now, Emily...]

[tostillbehuman]

Reid!

[Her voice cutting him off. Yes. Stopping him. Now. Before he kept on going until who knew what happened...

Emily can well read his posture, know that floundering air that seemed to settle over him, that awkwardness as he moved to dress. None of this had been planned, in any way, shape or form. Running a hand over her face, a ghost of a laugh trickled over her body. She could go out and he would pay for it? He really did just spout things out.]

Hey...

[dr_pretty_boy]

[His jaw snapped shut hard enough to hear his teeth clicking together, and he scrubbed at his eyes in a mixture of sleepiness and frustration at himself.]

Sorry. I just..start talking, you know that.

[This was why he didn't date. He had no idea how to keep things from getting awkward....

Well, that and his whole 'geek chic' thing wasn't exactly high style.]

[tostillbehuman]

[She did.

And she knew well enough to stop him before he just kept going, digging himself deeper and deeper, until there was no end in sight.

Unsure where exactly her clothing had ended up, she leaned forward with the sheet held to her chest.]

Take a deep breath, okay?

[dr_pretty_boy]

[Breath. Right. He could do that.

Shifting a little so that he could look at her, he gnawed his lower lip.]

You okay? With..last night, I mean. Not going to suddenly coming to senses and sneak out in shame while I'm in the kitchen making us bagels?
