Ten Day HotchxReid Challenge

3. Favorite Hotch/Reid moment or interaction

Ugh. I have so many to choose from, but… *thinks* Uhm. Right now, I think my favorite is the small one in 7.04: Painless. I know this is really strange since we all know I rag on season 7 like a hardcore idiot. I hated the season, okay? Many who follow me know that.

Nonetheless, the phone call where Spencer nearly ranted the person’s ear off, and Hotch calmed him with his one-wordered “Reid.” I know everyone’s picked the hug scene from 2.15: Revelations as I almost type “Revelationships but… okay. This just shows how far they’ve come together. In my eyes. They know each other. And Spencer wasn’t afraid to balls up and answer like that in front of Hotch, and Hotch saw the signs and made him stop right before he really would say something he’d regret.

I dunno. I find that just fucking amazing.
