Invisible String | Emily Prentiss x Reader

𝐘/𝐍 𝐏𝐎𝐕

"ARE YOU sure you're up for this?" JJ asked as I pulled a tight, revealing-black dress over my body.

The team has been working on the case in Sedona, Arizona for the last week and a half. The unsub is targeting gay women and abducting them from numerous bars around the city. Spencer and I uncovered a pattern in the bars he hits, so JJ and I are about to go undercover in the bar we knew he would be at tonight.

Although, this decision was not come upon lightly. The team wasn't too excited about letting us go undercover, and by the team I basically mean Emily.

It took hours of convincing before she finally agreed to it. She still isn't too happy about the situation and its caused her to deflect her stress on everyone else. She's been barking orders at everyone and triple checking to make sure that everything is safe for the last thirty minutes. I'm pretty sure she's made two people cry.

"Y/n?" JJ asked pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Oh, sorry. Yeah, I'm up for this." I said giving her a smile. JJ was in a tight blue dress that looked amazing on her. Although I couldn't help but wish it was someone else in that dress going undercover with me tonight. Oh my god, stop.

There was a knock on the door and I yelled for them to come in as I fixed my dress one more time. The dress was a little low and revealing for my liking, but it was the first dress that I found at a store across the street a couple of hours ago.

"Hey, I just need to give you guys these earpieces...."Emily trailed off and I turned my attention from the mirror to her. I watched as she looked over my body, her eyes landing on my chest as her eyes got a little wider. Once she realized I was looking at her, her face flushed slightly and she darted her eyes away to continue.

Oh my god.

I couldn't help but let a smirk come to my face. It was nice to see her being the one that's flustered for once. I think this may be my new favorite dress.

"Whenever you guys are ready let me know. We've set up surveillance and backup all across the bar. I'll see and hear everything that happens." Emily said as she handed us the earpieces. I couldn't help but notice that her hand lingered on mine a little longer as she placed the earpiece in my hand. I could feel my face getting hotter and when I looked at Emily she gave me a small smirk as she left the room.

Now, it was my turn to be flustered.

My heart was beating out of my chest. We'd fallen into a pretty good rhythm this last week. We spent a lot of time together and we work well in the field. We even talked about things unrelated to the case. It was odd how easily we were able to connect.

We talk about everything, except the one thing we actually needed to talk about. It was like some sort of challenge between us. Neither of us wanted to be the one to bring up the "almost kiss". But the longer we prolonged it, the more urges I had to smash my lips into hers every time I see her. If I thought our dynamic was confusing before, I would give my past self a heart attack

Everything she does is confusing. One day she's ignoring me, the next day she's spilling coffee on me, the next day she's checking me out. I swear her feelings change with the wind.

"The man behind you has been watching you guys for the last twenty minutes. I need you to get his attention so the cameras can pick him up and Garcia will background check him" Emily said through the earpiece. She and Luke were outside in the FBI van watching and making sure everything goes smoothly.
