Jennifer Jareau Imagines [JJ x Reader]

*Insert Yawn* (Pt. 2)

— JJ's POV
Y/N and I fell back asleep very shortly after cuddling close to one another. Skin-to-skin contact is so underrated as a method of therapy. I got a solid two hours of sleep or so before something woke me up around 3:15 ish. My eyes slowly cracked open and I saw Y/N wiggling uncomfortably in my grasp. "Y/N? Are you okay?"

She sleepily whined, "Wake upppp!"

"Why? What's going on?"

Her face was pressed right against my chest as she groggily explained, "You h... ave to... tell me about your... case."

"What? It's 3AM, babe, let's just sleep."

"Noooo! The caseeee!"

"Babe, you're just tired."

She insisted, "Tell me... about case."

"Why?"

"Be... cause you said... bad."

"It was bad but we can talk in the morning."

More whining, "Jennyyyyy!"

"Shhh it's okay." I rubbed over the top of her head, smoothing her hair back to calm her down. Her breathing started to soften and she seemed more controlled. I had no idea why she was so adamant about this, but she's always been pretty stubborn. "Just go back to sleep."

"Don't... want to. I want... to help you." Ah. Now I get it.

I quietly giggled, "That's very sweet, baby, but you're too out of it to talk."

She garbled, "Am n... not."

"Yes, you are. I promise it can wait until morning. Just sleep."

"Can we... cuddle?"

"Babe, you're already as close to me as you can possibly be."

"Closer, Jenny."

"Okay here, let's do this." I slowly laid on my back and scooted more toward the middle of the bed, since Y/N was nearly pushing me off. I pulled her to lay on top of me, letting her sprawl out on my chest and abdomen. She nuzzled her head under my neck and attached her legs tightly to my sides. I was completely smothered. "Is that better?"

"Mmhmm..." A rogue blanket was drifting away from us, so I quickly snatched it up and draped it over Y/N, engulfing us both. Our bodily warmth was radiating between the two of us, but it was so familiar and so comforting.

Y/N's eyelids grew heavy so I whispered, "Goodnight, angel."

"Goodn... Jen."

A few hours later
The bright sun glaring through our window woke me up around 7AM the next morning. I opened up my eyes and saw that Y/N was still sound asleep on top of me, snoring softly in my ear and grabbing tightly to the collar of my shirt with both fists. Her head shifted slightly, snuggling closer into my neck and taking cover under some strands of my hair. I was sure her nose was invaded with the smell of my conditioner and body lotion, and I was also sure that she loved it. An occasional mumble resonated in her throat, but I think they were happy sounds. She seemed perfectly content to me. Alas it was already 7AM and we both had to get up soon for work. Y/N wasn't an agent like me, but she worked in Quantico for the FBI as an admin. I shut off our alarm before it had a chance to blare in our ears and rudely disrupt Y/N's slumber. I leaned down and peppered her face with soft kisses instead, all while whispering, "Y/N... Y/N, baby, it's time to get up."

"Mmm." Her brows furrowed in rejection.

"Good morning, bunny. We have to get up, okay?"

"Mhm."

"You gonna get up?"

"Mmhmm."

"Yeah?" I pecked her lips gently. "I love you."

"I mhum mhm."

"You remember last night at all?"

Her eyes suddenly popped open and she leaned up a little, "The case! You never told me about your case!" So lively all of a sudden.

"I was too tired, babe. And so were you."

She sat up and played with an strand of my hair while mumbling, "But when they're bad you're supposed to tell me and get it out." She shrugged, "I just wanna help you."

I chuckled and gazed at her lovingly, "You're so cute... You did help me last night."

"How? I was basically unconscious."

"Just by being here. Sometimes coming home is hard because I think about all the victims from our case who didn't get to come home. Who didn't get to see their family again or anyone else who they loved. But coming back and having you here, in our bed holding my pillow, keeps me grounded. It eases a lot of my discomfort."

Y/N blushed and smiled softly at me, "Really?" I nodded and then leaned forward for a quick kiss. "So did you... wanna tell me about the case?"

"Sure. How about we do that and then head in the shower?"

"Can't we multitask?"

"Well I thought we could do... something else while we were in there." I raised my eyebrows suggestively, hoping she'd get the hint.

"Oh yeah? Guess you really missed me while you were away, huh?"

"So much." A kiss. "Do we have a plan?" She nodded and settled onto her side back under the covers as she intently listened to all the details of our case. Talking about it really does rid me of negative thoughts, especially because Y/N was always so supportive and optimistic. We headed in the shower afterwards and made up for all ours days apart.
