I decided to join the vampire act in her Reid drabbles. Thank you so much, my dear.

Chapter 1- Pause and savor

He caught sight of his co worker through a gap between two books.

The young profiler was happily perusing the new titles; head bent at a ninety degree angle to better read the words on the spines, when he spied newest team member and world renowned profiler Dave Rossi in the do-it yourself section.

His immediate instinct was to rush over and engage him in one of the theories outlined in his work but he paused at the top of the aisle. Reid knew he hadn't made a great first impression and he was reluctant to make matters worse now. It was after hours and the man probably wouldn't want him tripping all over him as he had been doing for the past week or so. The doctor shifted from one foot to the next, trying to decide what to do when Rossi looked up.

Reid was stunned by the little smile on the older man's face and needed no second invitation when the man gave him a come hither gesture.

'Hi, sir!' Spencer said brightly earning him shushing comments from some avid readers nearby.

He instinctively hunched his shoulders as the patrons glared at him. Unfortunately, they were not the only ones glaring.

'How many times do I have to tell you not to call me Sir?!' the man berated him in annoyance.

Great, he had already managed to tick off his idol with only two words. This must be some kind of record. He bent his head in embarrassment and studied his shoelaces.

Dave suddenly realized that the boy was all alone.

'Reid, it's Friday night. Don't you have anywhere to be?' he asked with a frown.

'Oh. I always spend Friday night looking at the new titles' the genius replied happily, completely missing the profiler's underlying question, 'What are you looking at?'

Curiously he took the book the grey haired man held out to him, 'The Tango: the History and culture?'

'Don't say it like that, it is a wonderful dance!' the man replied dreamily lost in some beautiful memory, 'no other dance allows you to pause and savor the moment and the woman'

'Wow!' the doctor commented in awe, immediately taking down a fresh copy from the shelf and flipping through the glossy pages.

'Reid, you should come with me. I am going to the Hilton ballroom tonight for the cocktail hour'

The young man closed his book with a snap instantly backing away, 'Oh no sir. That wouldn't be a good idea, trust me!'

'Of course it is a good idea!' the other replied enthusiastically, hooking his arm companionably with the slighter built man, 'do you have other plans?'

Well he had to reorganize his underwear drawer but the last time he had used that as an excuse, Morgan hadn't even paused as he dragged him out of the house.

'Sir, I don't dance' he squeaked anxiously forgetting to drop the honorific, 'and I don't have a partner'

The older man patted his arm reassuringly as he pushed him out the door, 'There is a class first and then an open practice session, you'll be fine'

Reid felt his feet skidding on the tiles as he was 'encouraged' into Rossi's car, 'and trust me, there is no shortage of ladies. Who knows, tonight might be the night!'

'The night for what?' Reid asked interestingly.

'Well er…you know?'

'No I don't know'

'Reid!"

'What?'

'Never mind'
