Spencer Reid at the Pool HCs
Hi, I’ve come out of my hermit hole to post something else before shelling back into it. Since I recently started to swim again to pass this swim test I have to do for my summer school, I was thinking about headcanons and for some reason, Dr. Reid was the first one to come to mind. Hope you guys enjoy! For more, please check out my masterlist, fandoms, shared blog, shared blog discord (anyone can join), and requesting rules. If you want to request, please feel free to request on this account or on my shared blog. Thank you and have a great rest of your day! ————– Trigger Warnings: None

As a Friend
He doesn’t like going into swimming pools because of two reasons
The first one is more prevalent but he always says how there are “so many germs in the pool” and how he doesn’t want that anywhere close to him
The second one is that there have been way too many cases of drowning in a swimming pool, so he wants to stay out to prevent himself from any danger
No one in the team really pushes it until you join the BAU
You move into a new apartment complex that has a sick swimming pool
You ask everyone if they want to join in on the fun on a day after a really hard case
Knowing that everyone’s kinda tired of cases and deserves a break, Hotch almost forces everyone to go
Spencer goes begrudgingly with swim trunks but doesn’t plan to go in
Everyone KNOWS he has a crush on you and they watch him crack and almost bend as soon as you ask him if he’s going to join you guys in the pool
He still refuses and he almost cracks again as soon as he sees your disappointed look
“Sorry, L/N” He tells you
You realize that he thinks that you’re genuinely disappointed in him and you quickly go reassure him that you’re okay that he doesn’t want to go in
He watches you play with the rest of the team in the pool
While he’s mesmerized with watching you, Morgan sneaks up behind him and pushes him into the pool
(Luckily everything valuable was stored to the side and he was wearing swim trunks)
As soon as he goes it, he sputters and you help pull him up
“Woah, wonder boy, I’ve got you” You almost laugh at how different Spencer looks
“Thanks” He gives a small smile as he clears his throat, standing up
Since Morgan pushed him in at the shallow end, the water only goes up to about his waist
You would like to say you’re completely unphased by the fact that he has to take off his shirt while being in the water, but that would be a complete lie
You get a little flustered, enough for Prentiss to notice but not enough for everyone else to
You ignore the nudges your friend gives you
Spencer decides that SINCE he’s already in the pool, he might as well stay there and hang out with you before he gets out and showers so he doesn’t get sick
Although he does reject the idea of playing any other game, he does give in and play Marco Polo
He’s too embarrassed to say that he doesn’t know the rules when Morgan asks if everyone knows the rules
He doesn’t understand at first and has Garcia start off
She starts saying “Marco” and he looks at you helplessly as you swim away from Garcia
Seeing Spencer’s helplessness, you just pull him along and once you get far enough away you start yelling “Polo” at the top of your lungs
He follows soon enough and after a couple of rounds, he gets the hang of it
He locates you immediately after he gets tagged
It’s a lot of fun
He also plays chicken fight with everyone
You and Garcia team up while Morgan and Reid team up
You managed to push Spencer off SEVERAL times
Mainly because he has no sense of balance and Morgan enjoys watching Reid flub in the water for a few seconds before going to help him
They have no team coordination but at least you and Garcia do
After everyone’s all tired out, you cover yourself with a towel
Spencer catches up with you and you two have a fight with splashing each other with your wet hair
After that day, he is more willing to get into the pool if it meant he got to spend more time with you
As an S/O
You and Spencer don’t have a lot of time to have dates, but on days you do, you try to make it memorable
You ask if Spencer wants to go to the pool and through some convincing, he does admit that he kinda does
It’s been so long since he went and swam, especially with you
He did ask how you two were supposed to do the games you usually do with the group with only two people
You don’t know how to answer that, so you shrug and just go “We’ll see”
When you get to the pool, you notice Spencer has a new swim shirt
“Did you get that just for today, love?” You ask, almost hiding a laugh
Spencer flushes, “I was insecure and didn’t want you to see me shirtless”
It almost makes you laugh as it wasn’t like you haven’t seen him shirtless before
You’ve had to apply tourniquets and quickly bandage wounds on him while he was shirtless
Not only that, but he never had a shirt on before
But you don’t really mind
You just jump in the water and ask if he wants to race to the other side of the pool
He had never been on the deep end of the pool, but you assumed it would be no trouble for a six foot tall man
He was the same height as the water and you thought he knew how to tread water
However, Spencer kept refusing, almost throwing a fit to not do it
After some prodding, he finally admits to you that he’s never actually learned how to swim
You laugh but offer to show him if he wants to
He nods meekly and you first try to teach him freestyle
You make him wear pool floaties just because you think they’d look adorable
You coo over how he looks in the floaties and his unamused face reflects what he says to you “This is condescending”
He knows it’s in good fun though
He gets the hang of the kicking pretty easily but he does look like a 5 year old kid flopping in the water while he does that
You show him the strokes and he almost sinks to the bottom of the shallow end upon trying
You have to hold him up and by the end of your date, he’s able to swim half a lap on the short side of the pool without your help
He does apologize to you since he did take up all the date time but you tell him that this was better than anything you could’ve come up with
“I’m glad I’m able to teach you something. You’re always showing me so many new things and I feel like you’re always the one teaching me something. I’m glad that I can finally return the favor at least one.”
Your next few dates are ones to help him with freestyle and to teach him breath stroke
Soon enough he’s able to race with you to the other end of the pool and he goes to the deep end for the first time
The first time you teach him how to tread water, he panics and almost drowns
He doesn’t go back to the pool for a full two months
However, after some convincing by the whole team, he did finally go back in
The team showed him a better way for how to tread and Spencer shows off his new swimming skills proudly
He’s very grateful for you
As a Father
The first time you guys go to the pool together is when your child is 5
He stays at the very edge of the pool near the staircase with your child
You do go in though
The first few days, your child stays at the staircase as Spencer tries to pass on his knowledge of swimming down
He tells your child everything you said word for word in hopes that your child understands it in the same way he understood it
He does, however, leave out the bits of laughing at the failures and the couple of swear words that you told him that day you first taught him
He puts his feet in the water a couple of times, especially after your child first starts to get the hang of swimming
He will actually kill you if you pull him in, but the day you do pull him in, none of his threats are acted upon
He helps your child with putting on goggles while you help your child with the technicalities of swimming
You praise your child by saying that they got it so much faster than Spencer
You have to hold in your laugh to not give it away that Spencer was death glaring you from the other end of the pool
When you feel tired, you get out of the pool and sit next to Spencer
You and Spencer just talk and hold hands together while you two watch your child endearingly
You make an effort to have those moments every so often, especially when your child almost begs you guys to go to the pool
This was actually longer than I thought it would originally be. It only took up like 3 lines in my notebook when I was first brainstorming it during class.
