⚠️strap in, the end of the chapter is wild⚠️

You get ready quickly after that, straightening yourselves up and making it to the car in record time. You find yourselves gazing and pointing out features of the town the whole way, which makes the time go by much faster.

When you enter the building, you both stand far apart and don't look at each other as to not raise suspicion.

"Hey, guys! Over here!" You hear JJ call from their table. You both make your way over and find two seats left right next to each other, unsurprisingly.

You pull your chair out before he can get to it and sit quickly, greeting the team politely while he takes the seat next to you.

"We already ordered drinks," Rossi says "get whatever you want, on me."

"Thanks!" You give a grateful smile before flipping through the pages of the menu "I think I'll have a bottle of the red wine."

"No," Aaron says firmly, not looking up from his menu.

"What?" You ask, turning your head at him.

"We're working tomorrow and we have to be on call. No drinking." You all hold back groans and you roll your eyes, although you doubt he's looking at any of you.

"But Reid is already drinking a cold brew! And Emily's already on her second glass of wine!" You point out, crossing your arms in frustration.

"Reid-" Hotch begins, but he's cut off by Emily strongly nudging Derek's shoulder.

"You think that would count as a tally?" she says in a hushed tone.

"Tally?" Hotch asks, confused.

"Nice going Prentiss" Derek smiles teasingly.

"It's no wonder we all want a drink" Rossi prods, taking a sip of his scotch.

"Dave, quit drinking. That goes for you two as well" he gives Rossi, Reid, and Prentiss a pointed look.

"Wait, I shouldn't be getting in trouble here" Reid points out "it was y/n's idea to trick you into coming to dinner and drinking anyway."

"What?" You and Aaron ask at the same time.

"Reid, my man!" Derek gives him a high-five under the table "That's a point."

"What points?" Hotch asks again.

"Derek!" Emily scolds.

"Okay, first of all, it's not a point" you argue "and it wasn't my idea, it was Derek's."

"You went along with it" Morgan counters.

"Will someone please tell me what the points are for?"

"Guys, quit it" JJ scolds in a maternal voice "You're acting like kids."

"No, don't stop. It's quite entertaining" Rossi smiles and leans back in his chair "Aaron, did you know y/l/n rolled her eyes at you when you told her not to drink?"

"Rossi!"

"Y/n-"

"Hotch!"

"Oh, there's a point!"

"What the hell are the points for?"

"Can I get you both started with something to drink?" A waitress comes up behind you.

"Lemonade for me, please," you say as politely as possible.

"Water, please," Aaron says. The waitress takes all food orders before nodding and leaving. The 8 of you are left all sitting and staring at each other.
