Wanna be Yours ! Criminal Minds Imagines

✰Emily ✰

✩⋆｡‧₊˚⭑˚₊‧｡⋆✩

You had joined the Bau as profiler only a few months ago. It's been a difficult job, but your friendship with your team was one of the best part of it. Emily Prentiss was the closet to you, the one who you went to for everything, your best friend. You always felt something special with her, you couldn't label it exactly.

love? Adoration? Affection?

Whatever the hell it was, it had been bothering you even more than usual for last few days. Out of nowhere you had noticed little things about Emily. The way she bite her lips when she was deep in thought, the way she softly hummed to songs at her desk, or the way her eyes seemed to light up when she saw you.

You buried these all feelings and thoughts deep down, putting all your attention on your work until you couldn't.

You went into work being too consumed with all these new feelings. You had, no needed, to talk to someone about it. Luckily for you, Penelope was walking right by your desk. You stood up to grab her hand, " Penelope! Hey , let's go talk in your office!", you dragged her to all the way there. " Wait-what? Are you ok, y/n?"

"Uh-uh, I just gotta talk to you. Now sit, it's important." You pushed her to her chair and leaned back on the door.

"It's about Emily."

"Emily? What about her?"

"I think I lik-love her. Honestly I don't which, but it's messing me up how much I've been thinking about her."

"Oh, y/n, everyone already thinks you two are dating. We're actually betting on how long it'll take you guys to be official , How did you just realize you like or love her?" 

She smiled. You stepped away from the door to stand infront her, " Wait you guys think we, me and Emily, the two of us, are dating!" Her smile only grew bigger as she grabbed your hands. " Oh sweetie, it's so obvious! The way you two share glances and flirt with each other. Everyone knows how close you guys  are and are just waiting for you two to realize it."

You pulled your hands back to drop your face into them. " Well you guys can stop betting on it. I don't why, but I just realized all those little signs. I don't know how I'm gonna act now with her, maybe I should ask her out ? But I'm just so scared she'll say no, you know?"

Penelope lightly slapped you, not hard enough to actually hurt." Y/n y/l/n , if you don't ask Emily Prentiss, not only will I lose a bet, but you will be the Stupidest person I know! Just think about a date idea and then ask her out at the perfect time."

You lightly touched your check , a little amused that Penelope actually did that. Without thinking though, you hugged her, smiling with this forceful support of hers. " Thanks Pen, love you. I should go , start planning , and hopefully not get yelled at by Hotch. Tell me if you win the bet." You both waved bye.

You walked back to your desk with a grin, heat on your previously slapped check, and thousands of date ideas running through your mind.

JJ came by to announce that there was a case which sent you to the board room with Emily joining, " Woah, you look happy! What happened? Or ... who I guess?" Her smile faded a little once she hinted at another person, making you drop your smile . 

You felt bad seeing that she was a little hurt," Nothing, and nobody. I just have some plans coming up that I'm excited for."

Her smile came back seemingly happy that it really was nothing. You leaned back on the chair, feeling good about her blissful happiness.

✩⋆｡‧₊˚Time skip after the case is solved˚₊‧｡⋆✩

Your team had solved another case making everyone had been tired from the work they put in. The jet was filled with the soft sounds of the engines and occasional snoring from Derek. You stayed awake, anxious from your feelings. You were staring out the window at the night sky as you heard movement from the seat across from you.

"So Penelope called me earlier to make sure that you wouldn't make her lose a bet, and if you asked yet?"

You stared at Emily with panic visible in your eyes, " Ah, well, she's just joking. I mean about the bet part. Although I have been meaning to ask you something." You bit your trembling lips.

" So, you know how close we are. I mean a few months working here and yet you're my best friend. Honestly I don't want to do anything to miss up that bond. It's just that lately I've been looking and thinking of you differently. So if you want to, will you go on a date with me?"

You nervously smiled at her. The soft sounds and silence were overpowered by her sudden laughter. She rested her chin on her hand, " finally! I've been waiting for that question all day.", her smile making yours grow.

" Of course, I've been too scared to ask you myself, but I've been looking at you differently since I even saw you. I never thought we would actually be this close since I was too nervous to even go up to you on your first day here" It was your turn to laugh.

" Wow, I can't believe you've been holding those feelings in for that long. I couldn't make it through today, every time I looked at you I couldn't even contain a smile." You reached out to grab her hands, "I'm so glad you actually said yes! I already had a plan planned out so just I'll pick you up at 5 on Sunday, just wear something comfortable."

As she stood up to leave, she planted a light kiss on your check . You burned up after she left, and chuckled at your reaction.
Sunday will be your first date with your best friend, and soon to be girlfriend, Emily Prentiss.
