One Year Later
He couldn’t believe it. He was finally doing something he enjoyed. It took a while to get to this point, but he couldn’t be happier. At first, he was scared to leave his friend behind, but things had gotten better over the year. The first thing he did was find a nice flat to live in. He was happy that he didn’t have to spend much of the money he inherited from his parents. He then got into Georgetown University to get his degree to become a teacher. He loved teaching the DA at Hogwarts and wanted to be able to help teach future generations.
He made a great friend at Georgetown. They had met after a class one day. Harry ran into him trying to get from his last class to a meeting where he had to go over his finances with the bank. He didn’t see him standing there talking with one of the professors and knocked him over. Meeting Spencer Reid was the best thing that happened to him. He finally found the man he could spend the rest of his life with. Today was the day Harry hoped would be the day he would finally be with the man who meant the world to him.
While he was setting the table, his phone had rung. He picked it up hoping that Spence wasn’t calling to say he wouldn’t be able to make it tonight because of his job. He knew Spence loved his job, but it sometimes got in the way of being able to spend time together.
“Hello,” he answered the phone seeing as it was Spencer’s number.
“Hey Harry. We are about to land just wanted to make sure we are still on for tonight,” Spencer said.
“Yep, can’t wait to see you. It’s been so long since we had time to hang out,” he answered. All he could think about was the nice romantic dinner he had planned for them. He hoped after this Spencer will agree to date him.
“Cool, so my co-workers are going out and wanted me to join them. I hope it’s fine that we hang out with them as well,” he told Harry. “They can’t wait to finally meet you.”
Harry couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He thought it would be just the two of them tonight. “Oh, I see. I hope you have fun with your co-workers Spencer. Just let me know when you have the time to hang out,” he said not wanting to hang out with all of them. He looked at the table seeing the meal he cooked for them. “Look, I have to go. I have some school work to finish up see you later.”
“Harry wait,” Spencer tried to stop him before he could hang up, but it was too late. He wondered why Harry didn’t want to go out with him and his co-workers. They were just going to hang out anyways. What was the big deal with joining his team at a bar?
Over at Harry’s flat, you find him looking sadly at the table that he had the home cooked meal on. He thought for sure tonight would be the night they could enjoy the time together and take the next step in a relationship. He didn’t think that Spencer would rather spend the time with his team, but he guessed wrong. Wondering why he couldn’t get anyone to see him as more than a friend or something to use as revenge, Harry started to cry while sitting at the lonely table. While crying over his hard work, he didn’t hear the knock on the door.
“Harry, what’s wrong?” he heard someone ask. Looking up, he saw Spencer standing just inside the dining room of his flat.
“What are you doing here? I thought you were going out with your team?” Harry asked him trying to hide that he was crying.
“I made plans with you tonight. I was coming over to get you so we could go out. I didn’t think it was a big deal for you to meet my team and hang out with them as well,” he told Harry. “You are always saying how you would like to have more friends here.”
“I would like more friends, yes, but I was just hoping it would be the two of us tonight not your entire team,” Harry stated while cleaning up the food on the table. Next thing he heard was a male voice behind Spencer.
“Hey Pretty Boy is he coming or not the rest of the team is waiting for us?” asked the voice.
The next thing Harry knew a large man walked into the flat behind Spencer. Once seeing what the man looked like, he could see now he never had a chance with Spencer in that way. He could feel his heart breaking a little more just seeing this man standing behind the man he loved. Harry should have known that someone as great as Spencer already had a perfect person in his life and wouldn’t want him.
“You should go Spencer. Your team is waiting on you and I don’t want you to be late with hanging out with them,” Harry said still trying to keep him from seeing the sadness in his eyes.
“Morgan why don’t you head out and meet the others. I’ll give you a call if we decided to meet up with the team tonight,” Spencer said to the man standing behind him.
Harry watched as the man left as per Spencer’s request. He didn’t understand why Spencer wasn’t leaving with him. He just wanted to be left alone right now and try to get his emotion under control. He didn’t want to lose Spencer as a friend, but he knew it would happen if they talked right now. Turning into the kitchen, he tried everything he could to get everything under control as fast as he could.
“Harry please talk to me. Why are you acting like this?” Spencer asked his friend. He just didn’t understand what the problem was. This was a good way for his friend to make new friends and also meet his team which was more like a family to him.
“I just thought it would be us tonight, that’s all. I understand you wanted to spend time with your team, though,” Harry answered him.
“Harry look at me. I know you are not telling me something.” He said to his friend. “Tell me the truth about what is going on right now.”
“It’s nothing Spencer. I was under the wrong impression about what we were,” Harry answered him finally letting the sadness seep into his voice. “I just thought tonight we could go from being friends to being something a little more, but I see now that you don’t see me that way. I understand, why would you when you have perfection with you every day.”
“Oh, Harry I didn’t mean to make you think we could be more than friends. I am so sorry,” Spencer said sadly. “I’m not in a relationship with Morgan. As much as I would wish for him to see me that way, he just doesn’t.”
Harry finally turned to see that his friend was also as sad as he was. Walking over to Spencer, he wrapped his arms around the man he loves to give him the comfort that he needed just as much as Spencer did. He knew what it was like to be in love with someone, and for it not to be returned. He had this now happen twice to him. First with Severus and now with Spencer. Harry finally decided that he was just going to live alone.
“I am sorry Spencer that he doesn’t return your feelings. I know how that can feel,” Harry said to him still giving him the comfort he needed. “I don’t want to make this harder on you. I would rather have you as a friend and not at all. Let’s go hang out with your team.”
“You don’t have to come if it will make you feel more uncomfortable,” Spencer said hoping he would understand. He wanted his best friend there, but didn’t want him to feel like he had to come with them.
“I would love to meet your team. I know you see them as family, and I also know you need support tonight with Morgan,” he said to spencer. “I will stand by your side tonight, so you know someone is with you at all times.”
Spencer couldn’t believe that he would do this for him. He didn’t understand how he could be there for him when he wanted more than he could give him. He wasn’t going to look a gift horse in the mouth though. He hated going out with his team and seeing Morgan dance with different women and knowing he would be taking one of them home. Looking over at his friend, he pulled him close to him. He knew that what Harry needed was someone that can take care of him and support him. He knew the perfect person for Harry and was going to make sure they meet and hit it off.
“Spencer, why do you have that look in your eyes?” Harry asked him worried about what was going through his friend’s mind. That mind was a scary place, and when Spencer got an idea into his head he didn’t let it go. He needed to stop his friend now before anything got out of control.
“I was just thinking, you have always talked about wanting to settle down and have a family, and I knew the perfect man for you. My boss is bisexual and has a son already,” Spencer was explaining to him. “I think he would be perfect for you.”
“I’m not ready for that Spencer. I still need to deal with my feelings I have for you, and I might not want to find someone new again. I have been through alot this year and I’m not sure how I feel about everything,” he tried to get Spencer to remove that idea from his mind. After what happened with Severus and now Spencer, he just wasn’t sure he could put himself out there again.
“You need to meet him. He is going to be perfect for you,” Spencer said, walking into Harry’s room. He was going to make sure that Harry is wearing something great. He wanted his boss to see how sexy he was. “Harry, didn’t you say you have some kind of leather pants that you can wear tonight.”
“Spencer, really please, I’m not ready to find someone new yet,” Harry said trying to get him to understand.
