Warnings: implied sexual assault (very slight describtion), angst

Summary: While Y/N tries to pick up the pieces Michael has left of her, Spencer finally returns home from the case and notcies a drastic change in Y/N´s behaviour. 

It was the fifth shower that Y/N was taking, erasing all the evidence of what had just happened half an hour ago. Michael left her laying on the bed, crying, vulnerable and shivering. She was in so much pain, both mentally and physically, that she already knew she would be sore for the next few days. Y/N could also tell that new bruises were already forming on her body. After what felt like an eternity, she carefully got up and into the shower. She knew that it was wrong but she needed to get rid of his touch she could still feel. She felt so disgusting and dirty, hoping that Spencer would ever want to touch her again. Oh god, Spencer. He couldn´t know, no. She needed to keep this a secret. As she started the shower, hot water slid down her bruised and exhausted body. The tears had finally stopped falling, she was feeling numb. After a few minutes, she exited the shower, still feeling dirty, so she went back in. 

This went on for like 20 minutes after finally, when her skin was all read from the overheated water, rubbing and scratching, she stepped out of the shower, feeling a bit better and not that dirty anymore. She got dressed in some of Spencer´s clothes, which gave her a slight feeling of comfort. She then brushed and dryed her hair before grabbing a blanket and a pillow from her bedroom as she headed to the living room. Y/N could not sleep in that bed. So she decided to get some rest on the sofa. She switched on the TV, before she cuddled up into her blanket and checking her phone. She got three text messages. She opened her phone to see that two of them were from Reid telling her that he loved and missed her and that he would be back in DC in two days. Y/N smiled nervously typing a short reply back before she went on to read the next message when she almost dropped the phone. It was from Michael. With shaky hands, she opened the message and read it: 

Thanks for tonight. You were great, baby! <3 - Michael 

Y/N threw her phone away on the ground, suddenly feeling like vomiting again. She just wanted to awake from this terrible nightmare. All she wanted was to forget that tonight ever happened, but ho was she supposed to if she could still feel his hands on her and when she would be facing him at work everyday? Y/N started to panic. She  kept on overthinking until she finally drifted of into a light, not that peaceful sleep. 

The next days went by slowly, but until yet, Michael has not made a new attempt on Y/N. Maybe he was done? Maybe he was satisfied with what he got? Work was going well though it was hard being around Michael 24/7 as he was working in her group and Soraya sure noticed the tension between the both of them, but did not say a word. 

Y/N just finished work for the day and was on her way to the metro when Spencer called her.

“Hey, babe.”, she greeted him. 

“Hey, you. I just wanted to hear your voice. I hope you´re okay?”, the doctor asked. 

“Yeah, I´m fine. Just got off work. What about you?”

“Well, this is actually why I´m calling you. I just wanted to let you know that we´re finished the case and are on our way back home. I guess we´ll be back by 9pm.”

“That´s great. This time, I´ll do the dinner. Chinese takeout?”, Y/N wanted to know.

“You know me too well!”, Spencer replied. 

“Okay then. I´ll see you soon, I guess. Love you and be safe!”

“Love you too, Y/N. See you soon!”, and with this, they hung up hoping that 9pm would be here soon. 

As soon as Y/N got home, she locked the door and took a shower. There were still bruises visible on her body which she needed to cover so she picked some long sleeved clothes and put her hair in a bun. At around 8:30pm, she got ready to go and get the food she had already ordered while on her way home. 

On the one hand, she was happy that Reid was finally coming home because she had missed him a lot. On the other hand, she was scared that he might start to ask questions again because she did not know if she could take them. Not after what happened, she was too weak. Shaking all of these wild thoughts away, she grabbed the take out and went right back home, waiting for her boyfriend to arrive. While waiting she got comfortable on the couch watching her favorite show as she felt herself dozing off.

About 15 minutes later, she felt someone touching her arm and awoke.

“Don´t...”, she squealed, thinking that Michael may have made a return, but woke up face to face with Spencer who seemed to be kinda worried.

“It´s just me. Sorry, I did not want to scare you.”, he apologized as he put a comforting hand on her shoulder. Y/N needed to do all her best to stop herself from jerking away from his touch. Instead, she got up and hugged him. 

“I´m so glad you´re back. How did the case go?”, she asked as she stepped away from him, pulling him into the kitchen with her.

“It went well to be honest. We caught our unsub pretty fast thanks to him doing a mistake while robbing the last bank.”, Spencer told her as he sat down on a chair at the kitchen counter, opposite to his girlfriend.

“Glad to hear this.”, Y/N smiled as she grabbed their drinks and placed them in front of them for what Spencer quietly thanked her.

“How were your days? Work? Are you still planning this party?”

Y/N gulped. Tell him the truth, her mind screamed at her, again.

“Ohhh, nothing special happened. It was rather uneventful. Work was good too. We sorted out all the difficulties and yes, the kids are already excited for the party. Mila even asked if you were coming too and when I told her that the party was only for the kids and the teachers, she went mad and threw a stuffed animal at me.”

Spencer laughed. He love it when Y/N was talking about her work. She hasn´t talked about what was going on there for quite a while. If he only knew. 

“I´m glad to hear that everyting went well. Thanks for the dinner, babe.”, Spencer said. 

“Me too, Spence. And you really don´t have to thank me. I´m just returning a favor.”

And with that, they started to eat in silence, only thing you could here was Spencer here and then inserting random facts about what only god knew about.

After dinner, Spencer went to get a shower while Y/N did the dishes. Flashbacks returned to her “date” with Michael. She quickly shook her head, trying to get rid of them. She finished doing the dishes before she grabbed the drinks and brought them with her to the living room where Spencer joined her soon. The both of them settled down on the couch. Y/N put her head into Reid´s lap before he started to carress her hair. The both of them enjoyed eachothers company. Y/N still needed to do her best and pull herself together everythime Spencer slightly touched her. He slowly started to carress her upper arms when Y/N suddenly flnched away and quickly sat up. 

“I´m sorry, did I hurt you?”, Spencer asked, already feeling guilty.

“No, sorry. I was just so focused on the movie that I kinda got frightened.”, Y/N stretched herself, totally forgetting that Spencer sat actually right beside her and was watching her and right now, he could take a perfect look on her blue and purple bruises on her stomach. 

“Y/N...what...”

She quickly pulled down her shirt, but it was too late. Reid reached out for the shirt and pulled it back up, revealing her bruised body. 

“Who did this to you?”, he asked, kinda shocked and at loss for words.

“Nobody, I´m fine. I just..fell..the other day at work. It´s nothing, really.”, she answered as she angrly put her shirt back down. 

“This is not nothing. You need to get checke out by a doctor.”

“No..please..I´m fine really.”, Y/N got up. She couldn´t go to the hospital. The doctors would ask questions and examine her and they would find out everything. This couldn´t happen, it would risk everything. Not only hers, but Spencer´s life too.

“Why do I not believe you?”, Spencer asked causing Y/N to turn back around before he continued, “you´re behaving really strange since a few weeks and this is not the first time you´re covered in bruises. So stop lying to me and yourself and tell me what the hell is going on? Who do you protect?”

Spencer wasn´t that kind of a person who easily snapped but when it came to the people he deeply cared about he could turn into Hulk. Someone was definitley threatening and hurting Y/N and he needed to know who and why. Y/N just stood in front of him, shocked, trying to find the right words to say.

“Y/N, I don´t want to pressure you in anything, but I can see that you are hurt and don´t tell me the “I fell.” - excuse. You´re safe with me and I can protect you, but I need to know who did this.”, Spencer said as he slowly took some steps towards his girlfriend. Y/N, on the other hand, had enough. 

“I don´t need your protection, Spencer. I´m capable of doing this on my own. I´m fine, believe me or not. And even if I wasn´t, I don´t need you to fight my battles, so back off.”, and with that, Y/N grabbed her phone and keys and went straight towards the front door before she turned around once again, “oh, and before you ask: No, I´m not cheating on you. Believe it or not, I don´t care.” She opened the front door and slammed it behind her, leaving a perplexed Reid behind.
