aaron 100% does face masks with you and gets upset if you start your self care sesh without him

this idea is so sweet omg, i love spa days with aaron bae :") <33

"love i said i'd only be 15 more minutes" his slight huff is heard as he enters your bedroom. you chuckle a little, looking at the small pout that's on his lips when he comes next to you. it was finally friday night and after a long tedious work case, he wanted nothing more than to be all wrapped up with you watching your favourite series. only now he felt slightly betrayed at your lack of patience and starting your shared ritual without him

"you took too long" your answer comes as a gentle tease, setting down the red face mask you've finished applying on your face perfectly. you note his eyes slightly narrowing at you, holding back the eyeroll as he answers

"only because i bought the snacks that you wanted" hotch quipped back but there's a soft smile that pulls on his lips as he sets down the bags next to you, removing his jacket. there's a tenderness as he kisses your temple carefully, his hand gently squeezing your shoulder for comfort

"well i'd better catch up, hadn't i?" his voice is soft, amusement laced between the words as he changes into more comfortable clothing. jack was staying at his aunts for the weekend so you both had all the time in the world to focus on each other, relishing in each others company

hotch chose the panda headband to pull his hair back as you grab the mask, the one you're currently wearing since he likes to do the same steps as you even if he doesn't quite understand the purpose behind them. but he likes the feeling and your company above all. he would've been content watching paint dry so long as he had you by his side

hotch is an intelligent fbi agent and a strong man but here, this is where he can finally be aaron. just aaron, a man who's spending time with his love. he had all these little questions about the face masks, his face resembling the same face jack makes when he's utterly curious about something and it makes your heart gush at his innocence.

"feels funny" he comments, looking in the mirror at himself while you nod with amusement, looking back at the pot.

"it contains mint extract that's why it feels tingly" you answer him and he nods softly, enjoying the comfortable silence that settles between you two. the tv is playing but neither of you care to pay attention, his arms wrapped up around your waist as he takes a warm sigh of relief for the first time that day. the tension from his shoulders practically melt away and a tender smile pulls on his lips just at the sight of you

"i love you" he murmurs softly, kissing your lips carefully in order not to smudge your face mask while your lips pull into a sweet smile

"i love you too" you hummed, ruffling your hand softly against his hair. his dimples show as he presses another kiss to your lips, his hands laced with yours while he snuggles close.

"but don't you think about starting early next time"
