Take your chance - Jennifer Jareau x FemReader blurb

Pairing: Jennifer Jareau x Fem!reader

Word count: 948 words

Warnings: angst and fluff

Summary: When you first started in the Bau, JJ feel in love with you but was scared to tell you but one night out with the team may change everything

Jennifer Jareau is a beautiful kind kind-hearted woman she has a decent life, filled with fantastic friends and a job she likes but the moment you stepped into the FBI headquarters she was done for you.

This was two months ago now since you first started working at the BAU and everything is going great, you are a great addition to the team, do good as a profiler and you have a sweet boyfriend named Brad.

JJ on the other hand never understood why you fell for Brad, you were beautiful and intelligent, and your laugh could light up the whole world and Brad wasn’t anything of those, in JJ's eyes you deserved someone better,

someone who loves you unconditionally, someone who supports you in every way and that’s when JJ knew she wanted to be more than your friend, she wanted to be the person you come home to.

Since her realization, JJ tried to stand away from you as far as possible but it was hard not to arouse any suspicion that something was wrong.

JJ didn’t tell anyone about her feelings for you, but she couldn’t hide them very well - once in a while JJ stole more glances at you, obviously the team noticed it, but they never said anything to JJ, so she could cope with it herself.

After another successful case, the team decided to celebrate at the bar.

JJ sat with Emily at a round table, the others were all over the bar but JJ's eyes were on one person and one person only -

Y/n.

She chatted in a very flirty way with another woman. It was no secret that y/n is bisexual, cause once Derek couldn’t keep his mouth shut when he tried to get every little detail out of y/n’s love life but why would she talk to a woman so flirtatious right now, she has a boyfriend right? And why was it not her?

JJ held on to her glass so tight that her knuckles turned white.

Emily saw the change in JJ’s behavior and followed her gaze to you who was so close to another woman that their noses almost touched.

"You know it’s okay, right ?" Emily said and pulled JJ out of her thoughts.

"WHAT ?" JJ asked totally shocked by what Emily said.

"It’s okay that you feel something for her. I know you are scared because this is new and different for you, but if you going to sit here all night and ask yourself what would have happened, you wished you dared to go up to her and become clean of your feelings, you are going to regret it, if you not do it now."

JJ was completely stunned by what Emily just said to her that she couldn’t come up with something immediately, they sat there in silence for a second until JJ spoke again.

"I don’t know what you mean, I don’t care what y/n is doing, I was just curious why she is talking to someone else when she has a boyfriend but else I just have a great time."

" you sure about that. I just talked to you for five minutes and you didn’t answer me, you just held your glass real tight and stared at Y/n. At one point I even said you are the worst person on the team and they would be better without you, so yeah you totally do not care about Y/n.

JJ wanted to answer her but then she saw how y/n leaned into the stranger and JJ knew this couldn’t happen.

"Excuse me," JJ said to Emily as she left their table. Emily couldn’t even say anything JJ as she already stormed her way to you and Emily couldn’t hold back a smirk.

You were completely focused on the stranger, your lips almost touched but out of a sudden you felt a cold liquid on your body and you backed up from the kiss only to see that JJ was the person who spilled the drink on your outfit.

"WHAT THE HELL ?!" The stranger said, but she was completely ignored by both women.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry y/n. Let me help you clean this up." JJ said, she didn’t wait for your answer and took your hand in hers and led the way to the empty bathroom.

"WHAT THE FUCK JJ, why did you do that ?" Y/n asked.

" I am sorry Y/n, it wasn’t my intention, it was just an accident, and you know that this isn’t you y/n and probably I saved you from a big mistake."

"JJ do you really think that this was an accident, don’t you think I didn’t see you staring at me the whole night?

"So JJ tell me the truth, why did you do it ?"

You took a step closer to JJ after she stayed silent after what you just said and now you two stood so close to each other that JJ was sure you could hear her heartbeat.

JJ was still shocked at how close you stood next to each other, you never were this close She didn’t dare to say anything.

"JJ, it’s okay, if you do not know what you want, I am not going to push you. I just want you to know, that whatever you are going to say, don’t think too much about it, trust me it’s not going to be too bad." Y/n said and stroked JJ's arm.

" I really would like to kiss you," JJ admitted.

"Then do it Jennifer Jareau, no one is going to stop you." You said and

finally, your lips collided.

Let me know if you want a part 2 with smut 😏

Meant to be -Spencer Reid x Fem!reader

Pairing: Spencer Reid x FemReader

Word count: 3.2k words

Warnings: mentions of s3 e16 and s4 e24, angst and fluff

Summary: A case reminded Spencer of his past and you the only friend he had in high school, what if one day you two meet again in DC.

Being a resident genius had its favors, the team bets everything on him and he could always retrieve this but this case was different, it was difficult it got personal.

His edict memory is a blessing but not when a case like this reminded him of his past - Alexa Lisbon.

Then he wished he could forget everything for once in his life, but he will always remember.

When Spencer stepped out of the plane, he felt like he could breathe again, but his mind still raced - this case was an emotional roller coaster for him and the best way for Spencer to calm down was to go to his favorite bookstore.

The moment Spencer stepped into the bookstore he felt relieved, the familiar smell of old books and fresh coffee felt like home and no other person was in sight.

"Hey Spencer though case?!" Miranda the owner of the shop asked.

"Hey Miranda, yeah it was."

"Okay, your coffee will be ready in a bit, the bookstore is almost empty just one more person is here."

Spencer nodded but he was surprised that someone else would be here at this time still Spencer didn’t let himself bother knowing he would probably not even find this person.

Spencer left Miranda and made his way deeper into the bookstore. He was so invested in finding a new book, that he totally forgot about his coffee till he heard his name being called.

"Spencer Reid?" A stranger called his name

He turned his head and then he saw you.

Y/N Y/L/N.

What Spencer didn’t tell Derek was, who got him down from the goalpost back then - it was y/n, after that night you two spent more time together - Spencer could always come to you, and you two never talked about his problems and struggles because when he was with you it didn’t matter, once or twice he talked with you about his mom but mostly he just enjoyed your company and felt like a decent kid with a friend.

When he graduated high school, he never looked back but after 14 years you stand now in front of him right here in this bookstore in DC.

"Miranda asked me if I could bring you your coffee before it gets cold." You said and pointed at his coffee in your hand.

"My god Spencer, I can’t believe it’s you." You continued.

"Thank you y/n." Spencer took the coffee from you.

"It’s been a while, you look good by the way."

Spencer blushed, but he didn’t say anything back.

"Ähm yeah it was nice to see you again, I don’t want to bother much longer." As you attempted to leave, Spencer stopped you.

"Actually I could use some company if you like… Only if you want to obviously, I would understand if you don’t want to…" Spencer

rambled, but you stopped him.

"I would love to keep you company Spencer."

You two sat down and drank your coffee and talked. Spencer found out that you moved here two years ago because you got a job offer at the Walter Reed hospital and nothing held you in Las Vegas. Spencer talked to you about his job in the FBI, you asked him about Diana and it surprised him that you still knew her name, you two had a great time together until you caught Spencer off guard.

"Spencer, how are you really? You have very dark circles under your eyes."

"I��I haven’t slept really, it was this case that reminded me of something in the past." Spencer sighed and didn’t dare to look you in the eyes.

You knew where his mind went, you rubbed Spencer’s arm.

"But look at you now, these High school jerks and Alexa are definitely regretting this now." You looked at your clock.

"Hey Spencer it’s getting late, I have to wake up early and honestly you need some sleep too."

Spencer's mimic changed from happy to sad in one motion.

"Oh, I understand. Yeah yeah, you should leave you need your sleep." Spencer took his distance from you, thinking you wanted to leave because you already had enough of him.

"Spencer hey, if you want we can exchange phone numbers so we could meet again."

Spencer’s lips curved into a smile.

"Yeah, I would like that."You exchanged numbers and you both left the shop together.

Sadly you two had to split ways, Spencer insisted on walking you home but you promised him that it wouldn’t even take 10 minutes till you were home. Spencer started rambling about unsafety and what everything could happen in 10 minutes.

"Wow, now I might think I have to stay with you forever." You joked

but Spencer was stunned and it caused his cheeks to turn slightly pink.

"I just made a joke Dr. Reid, okay. Would you feel better if I wrote you when I made it home save in 10 minutes?" You asked him.

"This would make it slightly better. But.."

"But?" You asked confused.

"You lied," Spencer said.

"What?"

"You first said you would be home in less than 10 minutes now it’s exactly 10 minutes." Spencer smiled and you laughed.

"Come home safe Dr. Reid."You smiled and turned around making your way home.

When Spencer arrived home, he thought about going to bed immediately but you crossed his mind again and when he looked at his phone he saw that you hadn’t wrote him yet. So instead of getting in his pyjamas he sat on his couch and waited for your text.

After 10 minutes and 45 seconds, you texted him letting him know you made it home safe.

Spencer:You are too late.

Y/n:What?!

Spencer:You are exactly 45 seconds too late. Next time I call the FBI.

Y/n:haha. I am so sorry dr Reid, I changed into my pajamas first.

Y/n:You didn’t need to stay awake for me

Spencer:But I wanted to make sure that you save.

Y/n:Thank you Spencer but you also need to sleep.

Spencer:Good night Y/n sleep well.

Y/n:Sleep well genius.

Over the last few months, Spencer and you met at the bookstore when your jobs allowed it. Otherwise, you two stay connected through messages and phone calls. Even the team noticed a shift in Spencer’s mood and as the man Derek is he asks him about it.

"Hey, pretty boy, who’s got you on the phone like this?"

"What do you mean, I use my phone like I always do."

"No boy wonder, for someone who rarely uses his phone in his free time, you are really caught up in it now." Derek laughed.

"Is pretty boy in love?" Derek asked and wiggled with his brows.

"Derek please can you leave it, it’s nothing," Spencer answered and didn’t dare to look Derek in the eyes.

"Okay Spencer, I let it slide for now but just so you know I care about you and if there is someone in your life that makes you happy, I just want to know."

Paperwork days for Spencer were never a problem, he accepted it cause it needed to be done but now with you in his life, he loved paperwork because it meant he wasn’t away on a case and with you having the morning shift, it gave you two the chance to meet up after work and he enjoyed your time together, he feels like he can be like himself with you and he hasn’t laughed so much since he met you.

But your jobs didn't allow this too much, either you had the night shift or Spencer was out of town for a case and he hated this, he hated when you weren’t around, he hated it when you two were in the same city but didn’t get to see each other and even though he loves his job, he couldn’t wait to come home, to see you - he missed you.

Cases also mean for him that he barely has time to call you.

Currently, Spencer has been away for a week already, this case going longer than he thought it would take, Spencer lay on his motel bed and tried to find the breakthrough for the case but nothing came to his mind.

He put the papers aside and looked at the clock, it wasn’t too late in DC yet, and he was unsure if he should call you, it’s nothing you usually do so that Spencer could stay focused on the case but honestly, he needed to hear your voice tonight, so he tried to call you hoping you aren’t already asleep.

"Spencer? Is everything okay?" Your voice sounds raw.

"Hey, yeah everything is okay. Did I wake you up? I am so sorry, I really didn’t mean to, it was a stupid idea to call you, you obviously slept, and your voice sounds raw. I should-."

"Spencer, breath, everything is fine. I didn’t sleep, I - I just rolled around, I was thinking about you."

Spencer was stunned by your confession, he stayed silent but his heart was beating very fast.

"So yeah, what’s on your mind, Spencer?" You asked breaking the silence.

"We don’t come forward with the case and I...I wanted to hear your voice." Spencer confessed.

"Sometimes it takes more time to find the perpetrator but the only thing that matters is that you will find him. I miss you but please stay safe there."

"I will y/n, I promise."

"Hey, Spencer."

"Yes, y/n."

"Why don’t we meet when you come back, we could order takeout and make a movie marathon at my place nothing fancy." You suggested.

"Yeah, yeah I would like that."

"Good, I will see you soon, good night Spencer."

"Good night y/n."

A few days later the team finally caught the unsub.

As the team flew back to Virginia, Spencer wrote you to let you know that he would land in the late afternoon and asked you if you two wanted to have the movie marathon tonight which you accepted.

Spencer didn’t even realize that he smiled like an idiot until Derek pulled him out of his thoughts.

"You pretty boy what got your smile like that?" Derek asked Spencer.

"Uh n-no-nothing," Spencer said but his cheeks turned 10 times darker every second.

"Sureee Spencer."

Spencer didn’t say anything.

"Hey Spencer," Derek said.

"Yeah."

"It’s good to see you like this," Derek replied. He left Spencer alone with his thoughts, he couldn’t wait to see you tonight.

Spencer arrived at your apartment complex 10 minutes too early, he first waited in his car, drumming his fingers on his bouncing leg, trying to calm himself down but he failed miserably, so he stood in front of your door 7 minutes and 43 seconds too early but it was okay, in that time he tried to get his breath under control.

But before Spencer got his breath under control, you already opened the door.

"Man, I thought you would never knock at my door." You greeted him.

"How-how did you know I stood in front of your door?" Spencer asked.

"I saw you parking your car 5 minutes ago, I waited for you.”

"Oh yeah I didn’t want to be late here but I also didn’t want to be too early, I didn’t know if you were ready yet," Spencer explained.

"It’s okay Spencer but next time just knock you could never be annoying to me, even if you're too early you can sit on my couch like right now."

"I will quickly make the popcorn, you can look for a movie we could watch." You suggested and Spencer sat down and looked for a good movie to watch that you also liked, when you returned with the popcorn and other snacks, you sat down next to him but not too close, Spencer still didn’t decide what to watch.

"I-I don’t know what to watch, movies that I like are mostly not the type from others," Spencer admitted.

"Okay mhm, what do you think of Star Trek?"

"What?!" Spencer was completely shocked.

"Ähm okay was that a bad request?"

"No, no it’s- it’s great actually, I love it, I didn’t think you would like these types of movies," Spencer admitted.

"I am full of surprises Spencer."

So you watched the Star Trek series and after some time you both fell asleep, no one knows who fell asleep first maybe it was you or him but for sure was that you both bumped your heads, after a phone went off - it was Spencer’s.

"I’m sorry, I’ve got a case, is your head okay?"

"Yeah, yeah is there enough time for coffee or do you have to leave immediately?"

"No, it looks really important I have to leave now, but at least the case is here."

"Okay, good luck, be safe."

"I will be." As Spencer was about to leave he turned around once more.

"Hey y/n?"

"Yes, Spencer."

"I had a lot of fun last night."

"Me too, maybe we couldn’t do it again sometime?"

"I would love to, bye y/n."

"See you soon doctor, come home to me in one piece."

Just when the door felt shut, your phone started ringing, it was the hospital.

"Hey, y/n. Is it possible for you to fill in today, maya is sick."

"Yeah sure, I am on my way."

Spencer just visited Abby one of the remaining survivors, in the middle of their conversation Abby got aphasia, which scared Spencer, this stain kills people in a short amount of time and right now he couldn’t do anything.

Then he thought about you, and he had the urge to talk to you, even though he may get in trouble for this he needed to know you were okay.

"Spencer, is everything okay?" You said quite in panic.

"Yeah, yeah sure why wouldn’t it be… I.. I just wanted to hear your voice and I wanted to know if you are okay."

"Everything is okay, besides I have to work today."

"What !! I thought it was your free day?"

"Yeah, change in plans, one of my colleagues is sick and they asked me to fill in, but it’s fine, it’s a quiet day." You lied to Spencer, nothing was quiet on this day.

Hey, Spencer, it looks like I’ve got to go out there again. Look out for yourself and maybe if you’d like we could out soon.. like on a real date, maybe?"

"..I would like it, yeah, that would be great."

"Good, stay safe Spencer. Bye"

"Goodbye, Y/n. Take care of yourself. See you soon."

You both hung up with a smile and at least forgot the scary situation for a few seconds, before you got out again and took care of the anthrax-infected patients.

Spencer and Derek made their way to Nichols a possible suspect in the anthrax case. When they arrived Spencer had cut himself briefly on the thorn bush but it didn't stop him and continued to walk with Derek closer to the house.

Before Morgan and Reid entered Nichols's private lap, Derek got a phone call, Reid made his way into the lab and left Derek behind.

As Derek ended the call, he realized Spencer was not behind him. Derek ran towards the house calling for Reid and just when he arrived at the house, Spencer closed the door from the lab and told Derek he couldn’t get in there just then Derek saw the broken test tube with Anthrax in it.

Spencer was a step closer to death.

You took the mask from your face and took a deep breath and you finally broke down, you started crying, it was too much for you, seeing all those vulnerable people and you can’t do anything to help them, you can only try to make this stay as comfortable as possible.

You knew what this job meant, you can’t save everybody but this is not fair, how can a human being so heartless and let these people perish?

You took another deep breath and then you thought about Spencer, hopefully was okay, far away from this situation but deep down you knew he wasn’t, he is in the FBI of course he is involved but please let him be okay.

You needed to hear Spencer's voice, so you called him.

"Y/n…" Spencer began to cough.

"Spencer.. what's happening. You don’t sound okay."

"Everything is fine." Spencer coughed again.

"Spencer…no matter what is happening…"

"Y/n listen." Spencer cut you off.

"I love you Y/n… everything is gonna be okay but I've got to go now. Then Spencer hung up and you didn’t get to answer him.

You tried it a few more times but he didn’t pick and now it felt like your world broke down, you burst into tears knowing couldn’t do anything.

After Spencer and Dr. Kimura may have found the cure for this anthrax, Spencer finally gets to go out of the lab and go to the shower, but as Spencer untied his tie, Dr. Kimura sees the cut Spencer got from the bush and the situation just got more dangerous, hopefully, the cure was in the inhaler.

When Dr. Kimura came in with a newly infected anthrax patient your heart skipped a beat - it was Spencer.

He was in an awful state and for a moment you didn’t know if he would survive this.

The situation finally got under control with the confirmation from the lab that the cure was in the inhaler, the last survivors and Spencer were able to be cured and now it was a matter of time before Spencer woke up.

When you walked towards Spencer’s room, you saw a man sitting by Spencer and eating his jello that you put on his table, just then Spencer woke up and immediately asked if there would be more jello.

As you arrived at Spencer's room you couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Hey." You've said as if a stone fell from your heart.

"Hi." Said Spencer with a smile on his face.

You both wanted to say so much more but with this muscular man in the room who you didn’t know - there was an awkward silence there.

"Okay, I think it’s my time to leave. Have fun lover boy." The man said and left you too alone.

"You’ve scared me, Spencer." You sat down on the bed and took his hand in yours.

"I didn’t mean to do this and I am sorry for what I said, I would understand if you don’t want to see me anymore, I mean with what I said I took this.." Spencer rambled.

"I love you too Spencer."

"WHAT?! Really?"

"Yes Spencer, of course I do, I've loved you since we first met back in Las Vegas."

Spencer cupped with both hands your face and you leaned in and then you two kissed for the first time.

"So you still want to go out with me?" You asked.

"Of course Y/n." You both hugged and Spencer's face was crooked in your neck.

"Hey, Y/n?"

"Yes, Spencer."

"Before we go out on the date, can I have some of this jello?" Spencer asked shyly but you just started laughing.

"Of course, my love, you can have as much jello as you want."

Man - when I wrote this it felt from length okay but now I feel like it’s a little rushed maybe you could give me feedback if I should get more in detail with the story and the conversations.

I am still very new to writing and it feels super though to write Spencer so that he still has his character traits and doesn’t sound like a totally different Spencer.

COFFEE LOVE - Aaron Hotchner x reader

Pairing: Aaron Hotchner x FemReader

Word count: 4.6k words

Warnings: mention of Haley, lots of fluff

Summary: A new coffee shop opened close to Aaron’s home and when Jack and Aaron visit the shop, they like much more than coffee and cookies

When Aaron first started at the FBI he knew what he got himself into, late work hours, endless travel, and not a lot of sleep. With time he got used to this and any kind of coffee, at least he got one in hand that kept him awake.

He was a simple man, he never thought about going to a coffee shop to get a coffee instead of from work.

Until one day Jack asked him to go to the new coffee shop that opened up down the street.

He heard from the shop before, Jessica went with Jack there a few times and Jack became a little fan but Aaron never stepped a foot into it, until this day.

On a beautiful Saturday morning, Jack and Aaron took a walk to the café and as they arrived Aaron recognized that the shop was well attended, even though the order line was not that long, so in a matter of time Jack and Aaron got to make their order, but before Aaron got to say a word he got interrupted by Jack.

"Y/n." His son cheered, meanwhile, Aaron took the time to look at you and Aaron was stunned, you are beautiful and your smile gosh, Jessica had mentioned you before but he was pretty sure everything she said about you was underestimated.

As of now you still didn’t dare to look up to the man who brought Jack with him, assuming it was his dad, whom you already heard about, and you definitely didn’t miss the way he stared at you, which made your cheeks turn slightly pink.

"Hello, Jack. And wow it looks like you have been growing again, I could have sworn you didn’t look so tall the last time I saw you." You joked with him and Jack laughed.

Now you finally took a glance to be met by beautiful brown eyes.

"I also see you brought a guest, is that your best friend Tyler you talked about I thought he was smaller?" You added and scratched your head.

"No silly, this is my dad," Jack laughed.

"Ah, the superhero." You extended your hand which Aaron took in his.

"You can call me Aaron." Aaron’s mouth curved into a smile, your hand still in his, neither of you said anything until Jack broke the momentary silence.

"Y/n can I have a cookie and chocolate milk?"

"Sure buddy and as of right now you are getting the last cookie we have."

"YES," Jack answered excitedly.

"And what does superhero Aaron want ?" You asked him.

Aaron laughed including a playful eye roll.

"Just a black coffee."

"Mhm simple but also boring, I can’t convince you to try something else." You replied.

"Okay, then surprise me with one of these cakes but I still want my black coffee. Aaron said.

"Do you two like to drink and eat here or do you wanna take it with you?"

"What do you want to do Jack ?" Aaron asked Jack and his answer was obvious.

"STAY."

" Okay, that was a clear answer." Aaron laughed.

Aaron enjoyed his coffee which was surprisingly really good, he now understood why the team insisted on visiting coffee shops before work and the cake you picked for him was also delicious.

Meanwhile, Jack ate his cookie and drank his chocolate milk, Jack and Aaron talked about Jack‘s upcoming soccer game and the newest superhero movie he watched with Jessica.

When the shop was not that busy, you took your time to sit with Jack and Aaron, Jack took his full attention to you and told you about the hide-and-seek game he won as well as everything that happened that week and Aaron just enjoyed how happy his son looked as he talked to you.

After Saturday Aaron tried to visit the shop with Jack as often as possible, though it didn’t happen a lot because of his job, but Aaron still enjoyed your company when he visited the shop with his son, and just because Aaron and Jack didn’t get to go to the shop often that didn’t mean that Jessica and Jack dropped by every chance they got.

Jack enjoyed your company and Jessica did too. Jack kept you up to date with everything going on in school and much more.

Jessica and you used their time to talk about their work and how exhausting it could be but you two also shared some personal things, and soon you two became friends.

Sometimes even you took your break to play with Jack and Jessica in the park that was close by, like today, you three had fun, and as the adults took a break with Jack on the swings you and Jessica took a look at Jack.

"He looks so happy and carefree," You said.

"Thanks to you, you make him happy," Jessica admitted.

"Don’t be ridiculous, he is so happy because you are so great with him, you are his family, and you are the best aunt Jack could have asked for, The same goes for Aaron."

"I may hold this together but you make the difference."

The last few weeks, Aaron didn’t get the chance to visit the coffee shop with Jack, so Aaron decided on a paperwork day to leave early so he got to pick up Jack from school.

When Aaron picked Jack up from school, his son ran up to me to let him know about the A he got in the test he was so worried about. To celebrate this, Aaron suggested going to your coffee shop and who would Jack be to deny this?!

As the two arrived Jack ran up to you.

"Y/n, look I got an A in the test."

"WHAT! Oh my god, I am so proud of you. I knew you could do it." You smiled down at him.

"Hey Jack, how about we celebrate this, my shift ends soon, you could do your homework here and afterward we could go to the park." You suggested.

Jack’s eyes went wide.

"Daddy, can we do that?"

"Sure buddy why not." Aaron smiled down to his son.

As you three made your way to celebrate Jack’s big win you, Aaron and you took your time to talk about everything work-related.

As your three arrived, you played hide and seek. Jack and you were on the swings.

Aaron took a break as you and Jack started playing soccer, he watched you guys and his heart swelled at the sight, of his son being happy, and then there was you, a beautiful kind woman who cared about his son that much, Aaron could have gotten used to it.

As Aaron watched you two play he saw as you whispered Jack something in the ear, then Jack ran up to the soccer goal and screamed:

"For Mommy." You put your hands in the air smiled and told Jack how good he did.

Aaron was so stunned by your action that he wasn’t even sure if he heard right what Jack said, but as Jack ran up to him he met him halfway and picked him up.

"Did you see what I did Dad? I did it for Mom."

"Of course Buddy, that was amazing."

"What about some ice cream mhm ?" Aaron asked Jack.

"YES but only if y/n can come with us," They both look at you now.

"What do you say y/n? Ice cream goes on me."

"Ähm, okay yeah why not." A little bit surprised by the invitation.

You three walked in silence as you got Ice cream, soon Jack became a bit tired Aaron asked his son to get home and get another time I’ve cream but he refused, you got the ice cream and after you guys finished eating you three walked back home, Jack being later in Aaron’s arms full asleep.

Aaron and you stayed quiet throughout the walk not wanting to wake Jack up, but it was not awkward, it was quiet nice, and peaceful.

Quickly you arrived at the Hotchner home.

"That’s ours," Aaron pointed.

"How long is your home away, I could walk you there or even drive you," Aaron suggested.

"No, No it’s okay Aaron, my home is just a 5-minute walk away from here, I will be fine." You replied.

Aaron nodded but he was not convinced, you waved at him on your way to continue your walk but then you stopped.

"Aaron."

"Yeah."

"Thank you for today I had a lot of fun and if you like, you know you can always come by the coffee shop before you go out there to save the world, you deserve a good coffee." You laughed at the end.

"I will consider it thank you y/n and not just for the Invitation but also thank you for taking your time to spend it with Jack and for making him happy."

"He is a great kid and you have a big impact on him even though it’s hard for you to believe it, you are a great dad to him."

"Have a good night Aaron and just so you know, I would be happy to see you in my coffee shop." You smiled shyly, making your way back home.

Aaron tried to swallow his feelings down not wanting to admit that Jack was not the only reason that he wanted to visit the coffee shop more often, deep down he knew he wanted to see you because he made you feel something he hadn’t felt for a long time - Happiness.

After that night Aaron made it to his mission to take his time in the morning to get his coffee at your shop. A few minutes of his day he dedicated them to you just to get to talk with you.

You two talk about Jack and his upcoming soccer game or he told you something about the team. Sometimes you two are so caught up in your conversation, that he is almost too late to be to early at the BAU but no matter how early or late it is, you always end your conversation with Be safe superhero and with time Aaron grew comfortable around you.

It slowly started to become a routine but every routine got to be broken once in a while, like today.

Aaron got a last-minute call from Penelope who told him they had a new case, he had to call Jessica, that he had to get here early, and then he quickly made his way to your coffee shop.

"Hey y/n, I am so sorry I’ve got no time today but at least I wanted to say hey."

"Here is your coffee, Jessica called me. So go Aaron go and stay safe superhero," You said.

"Thank you." Aaron left the shop immediately making his way to the BAU.

You looked after him, smiling to yourself, knowing Aaron hadn’t even noticed what you wrote on his cup.

Hotch arrived at the BAU, as the last person, file in hand, in the other his coffee which he put down on the desk.

"Wow oh my god, breaking news Aaron Hotchner was at a coffee shop," Derek said.

"Guys do you see what is standing on that cup!" Emily exclaimed.

"OH MY GOD THERE IS STANDING MY SUPERHERO WITH A HEART, AARON HOTCHNER do you have an admirer?" Penelope asked.

"Guys focus! The case Penelope," Aaron stopped the team rambling about his cup.

But Aaron was a little flustered about what you wrote on the cup.

Sure you guys felt comfortable around each other and Aaron enjoyed your company but you never did something so personal.

After the team did a short briefing about the case, he took his time to write you.

Really? My superhero with a heart the team busted me.

I don’t know what you mean but be safe my superhero, you wrote with a wink emoji.

Aaron had to smile on his phone and, with profilers in the room, it didn't go unnoticed. Aaron smiled like an idiot.

The team arrived back in Quantico a few days later at 1 am, everyone was exhausted even Aaron, he got into a fight with the unsub, his face was a little beat up but nothing serious, just a few cuts on his face.

Aaron was on his way back home, when he saw that the light was still on in the coffee shop, and at his second glance he saw that you were the person still in the shop. Instead of driving home, he parked his car close to the shop.

Aaron realized then that the door was still open.

"Y/n?"

"Aaron. What are you doing here?

And oh my god what happened to your face?" You said and immediately walked up to him your hands found their way to his face, looking closely at his injuries. Your face was full of concern.

"It’s nothing really, I got into a fight with the criminal.

But don’t try to shift the conversation on me, what are you doing here? It’s 1:37 am and the door is not even locked, "What were you thinking?" He said, as he took your hands from his face but he still held them in his.

"Really oh god, I had to get some paperwork done and then I started cleaning, I completely forgot the time. Now tell me what are you doing here."

"I just came home from a case."

"No, no Mr. Hotchner, what are you doing here in this coffee shop you could have just driven past the shop and gone home to Jack." You said with a smile.

Aaron was stunned by what you just said, he didn’t think about it, he just wanted to make sure you were alright.

"I saw light in there and I was just surprised I guess, after I saw you here I wanted to make sure everything is okay."

You two were quiet for a moment, and no one said anything, he looked down at his feet while you looked at Aaron’s face, just realizing how tired he looked.

"Aaron go home really I got everything under control and my way to my home is not long, go and rest a little bit."

"This is kind of you y/n but do you really think I would leave you alone in the middle of the night after everything I have seen in my job? I could never forgive myself if something happened to you," He admitted.

You immediately knew he thought about Haley.

You took away your hands from Aaron’s and put one hand on his cheek.

"Hey, look at me. I can only imagine what you have seen and been through already but you need to have a little bit of trust in the world, but I think no matter what I will say you won’t change your answer right?"

"Nope," Aaron smiled

"Okay, but the least I can do is to give you a coffee and a few cookies left."

It didn’t take you so long to get everything ready but you and Aaron used the time to stay longer and to talk about everything, you had a really deep talk about how everything can go over your head but you also laughed a lot together, telling each other embarrassing stories from the past at 3:30 am you to decided to leave, you told Aaron again you could walk but he refused to let that happen, so he drove you home, the short drive was quiet but peaceful, it didn’t felt awkward and as you arrived at your house you didn’t leave his car immediately, you turned your figure to him.

"Thank you Aaron it’s not self-evident that a man does such a thing."

"That’s not true.” But Aaron knew you were right not every man would do this.

"No Aaron and you know this, you are something special. Thank you." You said and kissed him on the cheek and soon after you disappeared into your house before you did so you turned around one more time to wave him goodbye and he did wave you back but even from your distance, you saw that his brain hadn’t proceeded yet that you kissed him on the cheek. As Aaron drove back home he still thought about you and when he went to sleep he may have dreamed of you.

The next day Aaron still thought about your encounter from the early morning but it would linger in his mind for a little longer because the team got called out for a case again and with every minute the team was away from home they even realized that Aaron’s mind was somewhere else even though he tried to turn it down.

After a whole week, the team still didn’t catch the unsub and with every day he was away from home, he started to miss you throughout the week you stayed in contact via short texts, and neither addressed what happened last time but Aaron didn’t care at the moment everything he wanted was to hear from you, to hear how were you doing, nothing else mattered to him.

At the moment, he sat in his hotel room, trying to find a breakthrough, but he was stuck, he looked at these files for hours now, and still, nothing stuck out to him, as more time has passed he had to realize that he needed to rest and give it a look again with a fresh mind.

Even though Aaron lay in bed now, he still couldn’t rest, he looked at the time and realized it wasn’t too late in DC and before he could think too much about it, he called you.

"Oh, the superhero has a little time for me. What honor do I get to receive a call from you," Aaron immediately started laughing at what you said.

"I have to make sure that my favorite barista is fine without a superhero close to her. I didn’t wake you did I?"

"No, you didn’t. Is everything okay over there, you’ve been gone for a while now."

"Everything is okay, no one is hurt but we haven't come forward yet."

"Mhm, too bad I start to miss this face," Aaron sighed but didn’t react to it.

"I can’t wait to be back home and drink your coffee again, I got so used to it, that I always forget how bad police station coffee tasted," You started laughing and Aaron joined.

"Mhm, it looks like you have to come back soon and get your medicine of good coffee,” You suggested.

"Yeah, it looks like it."

"By the way you never told me how good Jack is at his soccer matches, Jessica invited me the last time and I was stunned by how many goals he hit," You said.

"Is that so, maybe you should come more often and watch a match of his."

"Yeah, maybe I should do that. Oh and Aaron."

"Yes?"

"Can you promise me I get that pretty face back in one piece and not like last time?"

"Uhm, yeah I will.. I will try my best," Aaron said and his cheeks turned red immediately.

"Good night Aaron and be safe."

"Good night y/n."

The following days the team solved the case, as they arrived in Quantico Aaron told the team to go home and rest, they could do the paperwork tomorrow, but before everyone went their way Rossi invited the whole team and their family this weekend to a barbecue at his mansion.

So Aaron picked Jack up from school and made their way to your shop, meanwhile, Aaron told Jack about the barbecue this weekend and he was really excited.

As the two arrived you already greeted them.

"Hey, guys, and oh wow Aaron Hotchner in a shirt, that I get to witness this," You remarked.

"Don’t be silly you saw me in a shirt the first time we met," Aaron replied.

"Still a sight to see, looks good on you." You blushed and Aaron did too.

"Hey y/n?" Jack broke the silence and brought the attention to him.

"Yes, buddy."

"Do you want to come to the barbecue with us this weekend?" Jack asked.

"A barbecue?" You asked and looked at Aaron.

Äh yes my co-worker David Rossi is having a barbecue for the team this weekend, we can bring someone if we want. If you like and have time you can come with us, but don’t feel responsible for saying yes, I would understand if you said no-. "

"Actually, I would like to come with you guys if you are fine with this." You said and stopped Aaron from rambling.

"YES," Jack shouted.

As the weekend arrived Aaron and Jack picked you up so you could drive together to Rossi, you spent the drive signing with Jack or Jack talked about how excited he was to see the team again, the drive was faster over than you liked, and you didn’t even made it to open the car door before Jack already ran over to the door, so he left Aaron and you alone.

As you two made your towards the mansion, Aaron took your hand and stopped you.

"Hey, there is nothing to worry about," Aaron said.

"But what if they don’t like me."

"Why do you care so much about this?"

"Because you care about them, they are your family and how you talk about them, I just want them to like me."

"They will and if not then you will impress them with your coffee someday," Aaron said and you both started laughing as you made the way towards the mansion.

Aaron and you were greeted by many eyes as you two as you arrived at the porch. Derek was the first who say something.

"Well hello, I am Derek Morgan and you are ?" Derek extended his hand to yours and you took it.

"Hi, I am Y/n Y/l."

"And how do you know our boss man?"

"Oh, yeah, I have a coffee shop down his street, Jack loves my cookies and I am the person who provides Aaron with good coffee before work."

"Oh my god, so you are the person who wrote my superhero on that cup." Penelope interrupted and your cheeks turned red.

"This is Penelope by the way," Derek intervened.

"I have to introduce you to everybody," Penelope said excitedly and dragged you to the others, as she dragged you away, you looked at Aaron helplessly but he just chuckled.

Aaron watched you from afar, he stood next to Rossi who made the barbecue, you talked with Emily, JJ, and Penelope and when all of you laughed, Aaron started smiling and thought how could you ever think that they wouldn’t like you?

"You should ask her out," Dave said.

"What do you mean, she is- she is just- she is just a friend."

"Sure Aaron that’s why you have been googling her the whole time and you have been smiling like an idiot, but sure she is just a friend," Dave said.

"But if you keep telling yourself that, you might miss your chance." Dave continued and pointed at you and Derek who looked like you had a good time.

Dave was right, Dave was always right if he waited too long he would lose his chance, he may get with you, but honestly, Aaron is terrified, he lost so much because of his passion, and he doesn’t want you to suffer, he doesn’t know if he would be able to go through another heartbreak if this shouldn’t work out but right now it didn’t matter seeing you this happy and seeing Jack this happy made his heart swollen, but Aaron would lie if he wouldn’t say it still shrugged him how much fun you had with Morgan and somehow as Aaron struggled with himself you looked his way and left Morgan to made your way to Aaron.

"Hey, is everything okay?" You asked and touched his arm.

"Everything is Fine, just got lost in my thoughts."

The rest of the evening was filled with good food and a lot of laughter as everybody shared great stories but as it became later Jack was completely worn out from the exciting day so you three made your way back home with Jack knocked out in the backseat.

Aaron offered to drop you off first but you declined so Aaron could bring Jack to bed as fast as possible.

When you arrived you pulled Jack into your arms and Aaron opened the door for you, subsequently, you two brought Jack to bed, and as Aaron and you stood in his living room in awkward silence, neither of you looked into each other’s eyes but as you both found each other the awkward situation didn’t stop, as both of you started talking at the same time, in any other situation Aaron would have let you talked first but he knew you would have said that you should get going but Aaron didn’t want that you left already so Aaron invited you for a glass of wine, as you two sat down you realized that Aaron looked absent.

"Aaron, what’s on your mind?"

"Oh I am sorry, I didn’t mean to space out."

"If you ever feel ready you can talk to me about what is going on in your head. You said to encourage him.

"I am sorry, this should have been nice and I just ruined it."

"Hey, it’s okay Aaron don’t beat yourself up, I could never be mad at you, I just want to let you know I am here no matter when, take all the time you need, and whenever you are ready I will be here and listen."

After this, you two sat in silence for a while before you broke it.

"Maybe I should go," You suggested making an effort to move but Aaron stopped you by holding your hand.

"No, please stay.,"Aaron pleaded.

"Okay."

"Jack loves you, you know," You started laughing.

"I think he just loves my cookies but thank you for the afford."

"That’s not the whole truth and you know this, you make Jack happy and not just with your cookies, you are great with him."

"He is a great kid, I love to spend time with him."

"And what about me, do you like to spend time with me?" Aaron asked.

"I also love to spend time with you Aaron Hotchner." You two inched closer but then something caught you out of the corner of your eye, you saw a record player.

"You have a record player," You said way too excited and stood up from the couch.

"Yeah," Aaron said and laughed about your enthusiasm.

"Do you want to dance?" Aaron suggested.

"I would love to," You admitted.

As you two danced you put your head on Aaron’s chest and got to feel his heartbeat, you didn’t know how long you danced but one thing was clear, you didn’t want it to end and Aaron didn’t either.

Aaron knew maybe this was his only chance, so he slightly pulled his head down, he may be a profiler but he didn’t know how you would react maybe you didn’t want it but you didn’t stop him as your faces were only inches away from each other.

"Can I kiss you y/n?" Aaron asked quietly.

"Yes, please," You whispered.

So he did kiss you, so gently like no man before him, it felt like a dream.

As you both lost your breath you pulled away from each other but your faces remained close.

"Y/n please don’t let that be a one-time thing."

"Never Aaron Hotchner, never."

"Good, because I think I fell for you Y/n."

"Me too Aaron, me too."

And with that, you both sealed your promise with another kiss and even though Aaron was scared, he knew you were worth trying again.
