7 minutes in heaven- the BAU team

A mini grenade keychain- Emily Prentiss

a mini grenade keychain. i looked at the strange object in my hand, wondering who could belong to. then i remebered emily is a specialist in terrorism.

- if this is emily's i'm not playing, i don't want to fight tonight.

- you're not going to fight. both of you are grown up adults. garcia said

- fine...i'm gonna go just because you're my friend.

since i came to the BAU, emily acted like i was some sort of enemy. we had fights from every little small thing. i didn't want this to happen, but if she insulted me, i couldn't contain myself, and i did the same. we were acting like two kids who fought over toys.

garcia locked us in and i tried to start a conversation but i was interrupted by her sighs.

- can we just...get along?

silence.

- look, we're kind of stuck together here, so we might as well make the best of it. i hate fighting with someone who's supposed to be on the same side as me.

silence.

- or you could just not talk to me...that will work.

silence was filling the room. it felt like i was alone, not with a person that i liked and wanted to be friends with.

- i can't believe i did this fucking shit all over again.

- what shit?

- woah! she can speak.

- you know!, i'm not forced to listen to all of your shitty commentaries. i can say the same about your party. i wouldn't be here if jj didn't force me.

- you should've listened to what your brain said. i'm not happy you're here either. what did i ever do to you to act this way towards me?

- you're always this perfect girl. all of the team members like you and are singing your praises.

- oh! so that was your problem! that the members like me.

- no, my problem is that you befriend all of the others, but not me.

- wait, hold on! what are you saying right now?

- what i'm saying is that i like you, but you don't seem to notice me.

- so, let me get this straight. you like me, but you act like a bitch towards me just so that i can notice you? great way do that.

because of the dark, her figure wasn't so visible, but i heard a shuffle and that's when i felt a cold hand on my face and warm lips on top of mine. the kiss was tough and passionate like she was trying to devour me.

- is it enough for you to see that i like you?

- kiss me again.

and she did. this time it was more passionate and our tongues were fighting for dominance. the kiss felt like it lasted hours, but we stopped because we heard the door unlocking.

- this remains between you and me. the team shouldn't find about this. emily said

                                                                                               ***

     6 months after

i was in my office when i saw emily walking to hotch's office. i opened the door and grabbed her by the wrist.

- what are you doing, y/n? hotch is waiting me in his office.

- i know, but i miss you!

- how can you miss me? you saw me ten minutes ago.

- yes, but i want to be able to hold your hand and kiss you without hiding.

- we agreed to keep this a secret.

- i know, but i  think we should make it official. it's been six months, em!

- how will the team react?

- they want us to be happy, plus we're like a family. we shouldn't hide things from them!

- okay! but i'm doing this for you. just so you know!

- i love you, em!

- i love you too, y/n!

after she talked with hotch we asked the team to come to the conference room, because we have an announcement to make.

- what happened? it's something wrong? rossi asked

- girls! why are you so quiet? hotch questioned us

- we have an announcement to make. i said

- we are dating! emily announced

their faces made me believe they didn't except this, but garcia shouted.

- i knew it!

- high-five, penelope! jj said

this time, me and emily were the ones with the shocked faces. we thought that nobody knew, but life reserves a lot of surprises.

- jj, you knew? i asked her

- yes, of course! i knew from the game night. it was something different in the way you behaved when you were in the same place. the fights stopped and so the death glances.

- em, after all it wasn't a surprise!

- it seems so!

we started laughing and continued our day normally. but of course garcia started teasing us, and it made us happy, because that meant we could act like a couple without hiding.
