Aaron Hotchner • One shots

Guardian Angel

"It's ok Y/n I'll be watching over you." Hotch told you as you were strapping on your mic before going in.
He put a friendly hand on your shoulder, in attempts to reassure you that you would be safe and the team wouldn't let the unsub harm you. Although in reality it just sent shockwaves through your entire body. Each nerve electrifying one by one.
Its been 3 years at the BAU. And it's been 2 years 11 months and 3 weeks of having a crush on your boss.
It's something about the charm, and the way he can be so stone faced yet so caring at the same time, that's so alluring. Leaving him to inhabit your mind too often than he should

7 years later

Aaron took your hand his, you couldn't care less about all the blood. you knew your stab wounds are gonna leave scars. Scars very similar to the ones you can see on your husbands right now from foyet all those years ago. Those same scars currently covered in the warm crimson blood gushing from the fresh bullet wound

I don't understand how they found us again.
This was supposed to be over.
It can't end like this.

"Aaron i'm sorry this is my fault-"

"Y/n don't. no it's not, we didn't know. but you know what I do know?"

You could barely shake your head but he continued none the less

"I know that I love you.." he took in a deep breath, you could tell he was struggling to hold on. You wished you could call for help, but you didn't even know where to tell them you are.
"And I know... I know that i've loved you since you walked in to the interview with the prettiest smile on your face" "you were so breathtaking, and as i got to know you, you only became more beautiful." "Not just-" he groaned and took one more deep breathe "Not just because of your looks but Y/N L/N you are the most beautiful soul. You are the ember to my flame in the darkest of times, and for that, darling you'll never be alone"

Aaron began to lay his head back down on my chest. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to protect us."
With that his eyes began to flutter shut.

"Aaron!" You lifted his head hoping this isn't happening. In some last desperate attempt to hope this is some sick joke and you're going to wake up at any moment. "Baby no!" His eyes peaked open barely giving you the slightest bit of eye contact. "I love you more than anything, more than life itself. You complete me Aaron Hotchner" you could barely choke out the words. Your sobbing paired with the tiredness given by 12 stab wounds is starting to hit you.

"It's ok y/n i'll be watching over you."
with that aaron laid his head on your chest for the final time. you clung on to him and as the seconds went by you could feel his breathing come to a stop. He's gone.
With him, a piece of you left as well.
