Never letting you go (Penelope x reader)

The one with the hoodie

Penelope pov

I pick up my cup of coffee and get ready to go back to my little 'bat cave'. But i turn around too fast and bump into someone, splashing the warm coffee on the both of us. A series of swear words comes from the person i had bumped into. Who knew swear words would sound so hot?

"Oh my... Y/n, i'm so sorry, i'm so so sorry. I wasn't looking where i was going and i..." i start to frantically apologise but you just stop me.

"It's okay Penelope, i know you didn't mean to pour smoaking hot coffee over us both" you say with a smile and it makes me melt once again. But i can see you wince a bit as your shirt touches your skin.

"Sloan, Garcia, briefing in five" Hotch says, walking up and past us.

"Be right there, i gotta change shirt" he gives you a nod as you gesture to the big stain on your light grey t-shirt. Good thing you didn't have your white blouse today that you wore yesterday. I'm standing still as you turn to head towards the locked rooms. But as you notice i'm not following you and only starring after you, you pause. "Pen, i'm hoping you're not going to walk around in that shirt the rest of the day"

"Yeah, right... but i don't have any extra clothing" i say as i realise that as i'm here all the time i don't bring extra clothes, i always have time to go home and change and stuff.

"It's okay, you can use one of mine. I'm not letting you go around in that. Besides, we need to get these in the washer fast if we wish to save them" you say as you gesture for me to follow you so i do. And as we walk towards the locker rooms you add. "Lena has the day off so she can pick them up and they'll be clean in a few hours"

"It's okay, i can take it home myself" i don't' really want to change infront of you, not really my comfort zone. But i can't go home now, we've got a case.

"It's okay, you'll have it back by tonight" i see you notice my discomfort as we walk up to your locker. But you don't really think about it as you hand me a light grey Interpol hoodie and then take out a dark blue blouse for yourself.

"What?" you ask as you start to take off your t-shirt, a smile sneaking up on your lips to the word.

"Nothing... i just forgot you're from Interpol" i answer and mirror your smile but as i mention it, the smile you have fades fastly. Like it brings back a painful memory from your time there, and from what i've heard and what you've told me it's something you wish to forget and don't talk about so i don't push.

"I can turn away if you don't want me to look at you" you say as you are now standing in front of me in only pants and a bra. I just nod so you turn away as you continue to put on your blouse. I take off my own shirt and in the mirror i can see the scar that's sitting under my left breast. I also see your reflection, but you don't even glance to see in a mirror. Why is this only making me more drawn to you, how you're so respectful.

"So what made you so distracted?" you ask as i try to put on the hoodie.

"What do you mean?"

"You said you weren't looking where you were going so i took a guess that something was distracting you" you say with a small laugh. "I do wonder what in this world can make Peneleope Garcia unaware of her surroundings" you say but i can't really tell you that it was you that got me so distracted, that i can't get you out of my head. How beautiful you say, how i want to touch you and call you mine. And how i have to talk myself out of it because it'll never happen for numerous reasons.

"I don't know what you're talking about" i say even though i know it doesn't even sound believable.

"If you say so" it surprises me how fast you give it up, but it doesn't help the case here. As i pull the hoodie over my head it manages to get stuck in my necklace and i can't' get it loose by myself if i don't want to break it.

"Eh... Y/n?" i sign.

"Yes Penelope"

"I'm stuck" i simply say with a sign. As the hoodie is over my head i can't see you, which i'm glad for. Not that i would anyway since i took my glasses off to put it on. I have a feeling that you're smiling so i say. "Don't laugh"

"I don't know what you're talking about" but i hear the smile over your words. But as i feel your hands on me, your cold fingers over my hot skin, that heat i always feel come's right back. You get it over my head and on me, as you do i can't help but smell the sweet scent of you. The smell and the warmth and the thought of it just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. You hand me back my glasses but that smile i had imagined on your lips isn't there anymore, it's more worrying.

"What happened?" you ask, gesturing towards the scar that is now covered. This, that just one of your hoodies can make me forget what i didn't want to show.

"It's from when i was shot" i answer casually, starting to turn to walk out of there.

"Wait what? You were shot, when?"

"It was a long time ago, i just didn't think it was important enough to tell"

"Penelope, everything about you is important to me. Small things as much as big things. Okay?" you place your hand on my arm and all i want is for you to hug me. I don't know how but we move closer, so close that i can almost feel your breath on my face. But we're interrupted by JJ coming in through the door, making you step away from me. She looks at me before looking at you as well.

"We've had the briefing, i came to tell you that we're leaving Portland in ten so get your go-bag" she says to you and you just nod, but as you pass her out you turn back to me, giving me one of your wonderful smiles before i'm alone with a smirking JJ.

"What?" i try to play dumb but i don't need to a profiler to know what's going through her mind right now.

"You're wearing Sloan's hoodie Garcia. Does she know how smitten you are with her?" i hit her on her arm, not hard but she still dramatically 'ouch'.

"I'm not smitten with her because i have a boyfriend and she has a fiance" but still that last word burns my heart a bit.

"I wonder what she's gonna sleep in on the plane now since she used that hoodie" JJ says and my head jerks up at the new knowledge. She gives a winning and knowing smirk before heading out the door.

"Wait JJ" i stop her and pull her back into the locker room. "Don't tell her anything"

"I won't" she says, like it's the most casual thing in the world. "You thought i would be surprised that you swing both ways, i'm not. Everyone sees how the two of you dance around, i'm just surprised none of you can see it" and with that she leaves as her words fly around my head.
