I’m Alright // Emily Prentiss

NEW!

Characters: Emily Prentiss x Reader

A/N: This is based on the song, I’m Alright by Jo Dee Messina. One of my childhood songs. But I was listening to it this morning and an idea struck me. Fic is based around season eight, a year after Emily left the BAU (for the second time) to run INTERPOL in London. The reader goes to visit Emily and they chat over a couple beers. Master List

_________

“Don’t forget to tell her about JJ’s anniversary party.” Garcia says as she chases after you through the airport. “Oh! And--”

“Garcia,” You say turning around to face her, your hands resting on her shoulders. “Just send me a list.”

“Right, right. Gosh, I’m so jealous. I wish I were going to visit her.”

“Oh I’m sorry but who got to go with her when she moved?”

“Okay, not fair.” Garcia pouts making you smile. “You had a broken leg.”

“I still could’ve gone, I just wouldn’t have been able to carry boxes.” You say. “But if I’m gonna make this flight, I have to go.”

“Alright, go.” Garcia huffs.

You smile before giving you a hug. “I’ll make sure to send you pictures.” You say before running off to the terminal to catch the flight.

______________

Landing in London, you grab a cab to the bar you were supposed to be meeting Emily. Stepping in, you look around the bar while adjusting the strap of your go-bag on your shoulder. “Looking for someone?” One of the bartenders called. You head over to the bar. “I’m looking for an Emily Prentiss.”

“Ahh yes, she told us she had a friend coming by.”

“Okay that doesn’t sound the least bit weird.” You say making the bartender laugh. She sets down her cleaning cloth before motioning for you to follow her to a back stairwell. “Agent Prentiss and her team rent out our rooftop for the summer months. She said to send you up once you got here.”

“Oh, thanks.” You say before running up the steps to the rooftop. Pushing open the metal door, you step out onto the rooftop to see a bunch of people in various spots on the roof chit chatting to each other.

“(Y/N)!” You hear Emily call as she runs over to you. “You made it!” She adds embracing you in a hug. “How was the flight?”

“Uh… Good… Ish..”

Emily snickers as she brings you over to a table. “Beer?” She says handing you one.

“Yes please.” You take it from her hands and crack the top off. “After this week, I need at least five.”

“JJ mentioned you guys had a case.” You nod your head. “I take it it was bad?”

“Oh yeah..” You say before chugging half of the beer down. “I literally felt like I was in horror movie.” You sigh setting the beer on the table. “But how are you doing? I feel like we haven’t spoken in forever.”

“That’s my fault.” Emily says. “I’ve been so busy with work.”

“Hey I get it.” You say giggling. “So how’s Mark?”

“Who?”

You raise an eyebrow at Emily as you cross your arms over your chest. “Don’t play dumb..”

“Did Garcia tell you?”

You nod your head. “AFTER we closed the case that we helped you on and AFTER you were already gone.”

“Gosh, I’m so sorry. I assumed you knew because everyone else did.”

You shake your head. “But it’s cool.” You say picking up your beer again. “No but seriously, how is he? I saw pictures, I want to know how the hell you met someone like him.”

“Is it shocking?”

“Not really.” You says shrugging your shoulders. “I always knew you had a type… Considering…. Well… Chocolate Thunder.”

“What?! No!” Emily exclaims making you laugh. “He’s like a younger brother!”

“By one year!” You laugh. “I’m just joking. I kind of thought you and Hotch would be end game.”

“But he’s with Beth.” Emily says drinking more of her beer.

“Was…” You say taking a swig of your beer. “They broke up about a month after JJ’s wedding.”

“No… How did he take it?”

“Good, I guess. Considering he was the one who called it off.”

“Emily, you didn’t tell us your friend was this hot.” A man says as he walks over.

“I didn’t say she was hot at all.”

“Ouch..” You say making her laugh. “And thanks, my boyfriend thinks so too.”

“Okay you totally left out that detail.” The man says.

“That’s because I didn’t know!” Emily exclaims. “Now who’s the one keeping secrets?”

“So who is he?” The man says pulling a chair over and sitting down.

“You want to know?”

The man extends his hand out to you. “The name is Alfie Windsor. I’m gay. So who is the lucky fella that gets this bod ever night.”

“Uh well..” You glance over at Emily. “Spencer.”

“NO!” Emily shouts. “Spencer?! When did this happen?”

“About six months ago.” You say shrugging your shoulders. “But you’re the only one that knows.”

“You two are hiding it from the team?!”

“Wow, you both like keeping secrets.” Alfie says laughing. “Oh this is too good.”

“How do they not know?” Emily says leaning on the table.

“Well, they know that we’re both in a relationship, they just don’t know who….exactly.” You say.

“I’m so glad I came over here.” Alfie says drinking some of his beer.

“But I didn’t come here to talk about me,” You say shaking your head. “I came here to talk about you.” You say smiling at Emily. “How’s London treating you?”

“Being a year in, it’s been good.” Emily says leaning back in her chair.

“And the weather?”

“Just like DC, except more rain.” Emily says laughing.

___________

After talking for a couple hours and few more beers, Emily takes you back to her apartment. “When you go back, make sure they all know that I’m doing fine.” Emily says as she sits down on the couch next to you.

“I will make sure they know that, even though I’m sure they already do.”

“I’m sure they do too, but you know how they worry.” Emily says rolling her eyes.

“It’s only because we care.” You say pulling your legs up onto the couch.

“Well I know the boys have been missing me.”

You nod your head. “I thought maybe I could take your place and take them out for breakfast on the weekends when we’re off like you used to. And it worked a couple times but Henry just refused to go because it wasn’t the same. Michael didn’t care who took him as long as he got his triple chocolate milkshake.”

“Aww,” Emily giggles. “That’s all he ever wanted when we went out for breakfast.” You laugh nodding your head. “But when you get back, give them a kiss for me, will ya? I miss seeing them. Facetime just isn’t the same.”

“I’ll definitely do that.”

“And don’t be a stranger.” Emily says pushing your shoulder. “Gosh I know we’re both busy but shoot me a text or an email. Something! Sometimes I feel like you’re shutting me out.”

“Noo..” You say shaking your head. “You’re not the only one I’ve been distancing myself from…”

“What’s been going on?”

“Just a lot… Between the cases we’ve had, and uh… Maeve…”

“Maeve?” Emily says furrowing her eyebrows. “Who’s Maeve?”

You take in a deep breath. “Spencer...he uh… He started seeing her when he was having those headaches. She was studying them, trying to figure out what was happening….”

“Wait.. He isn’t..”

“He had feelings for her… While we were together. No one knows we’re dating so everyone really thought he was in love her and when she was murdered….in front of him….everything changed… I guess we’re still together but it doesn’t feel...right…” You shrug your shoulders. “I don’t know… It’s different now..”

“But you looked so happy while talking about him earlier.”

“Because he does make me happy!” You exclaims. “But all he thinks about it is Maeve.”

“He’s grieving, you have to give him time.”

“I know! But it’s just…” You sigh in frustration. “Look, I didn’t come here to talk about my problems with Spencer. I came here to see you.”

“Well we already talked about me. Everything about me.” Emily says moving closer to you. “Now it’s all about you.”
