Happy At Last | Aaron Hotchner x Reader

✰CHAPTER SIX✰

You had woken up later than you had hoped and had to get ready in a rush, settling with an all black outfit.

Black shirt, black slacks, black suit jacket, and even black heels.

You straighten you hair as quickly as possible and made a to-go cup of coffee before rushing out the door.

You made it to the office an hour late.

How'd it take you that long?

You thought you had speed up the process but apparently not.

You just hoped that Hotch wouldn't notice your absence.

You rushed to your desk and you started filling out your files on Anthony Timms and his victims as quickly as possible to make sure you weren't too late on turning them in to Hotch.

"Hey Y/N. Why were so late today?" Emily asked walking over to your desk.

You continued to write and you simply answered "Slept in."

She chuckled and said "Well don't look too happy to see me!"

You suddenly looked up and said "I'm sorry honey, It's just I'm definitely gonna have to stay late with all these cases."

Emily smiled and replied "Okay, well I'll let you get back to it!"

You thanked her and began writing again.

A couple of hours had passed and it was time for lunch.

You didn't take a break though, you kept writing until there was a burrito placed in front of you, carefully placed as to not get on the file.

You looked up to see Emily and JJ had big smiles on their faces and JJ said "Surprise! We brought you food from lunch because we know you won't eat if we don't give you something!"

You giggled and ate the burrito as you made conversation with them, Derek and Spencer adding to the conversation at times.

Finally, everyone returned to their normal desks and you began working again.

Progressively, you saw people walking to Hotch's office to give in their files for the day and then packing up their things to go home.

Reid was first, obviously.

Then Rossi.

Emily left next, not without wishing you the best of luck and reminding you to call her later.

JJ gave Hotch a couple files next and told you goodbye as well.

Morgan had been stalling, but of course finished before you.

"Goodbye sweetheart!" He said, kissing your cheek and meeting up with Penelope on the way out.

That left you in the dark office, practically crying over the several files you had left.

You hated having so much work left and it stressed you out.

You had finished three and you had three to go.

When Hotch opened the door to his office, you almost started sobbing.

If Hotch was done with all his extra work, you were in for it.

He furrowed his eyebrows at you looking up at him with teary eyes.

"What are you still doing here, L/N."

It came out in a whisper-yell, knowing that if you yelled you'd definitely start crying "I came into work late today and I'm already not good at doing the files so I tried to do them quick, but I still have three to do and you're done which stresses me out even more because you do extra work! And I'm never gonna get home!"
