The next day, the team were in. Fleur was waiting outside Elijah's house to drive to work. Soon enough, he walked out of his door and locked it behind him before jogging over to Fleur's car.
"Morning." Fleur hummed.
"Good morning." Elijah smiled as he got ino the car,"So... How was your date?" He raised a brow, taking a sip of coffee from his travel mug.
"You first." Fleur pointed as she drove.
"Well, it wasn't that eventful." Elijah hummed,"I asked him out, he said yes. All I remember is falling asleep, holding him."
"Oh my god." Fleur smiled,"That's so adorable."
Elijah chuckled,"I know. But what about you? What happened?"
"We had some drinks and he asked me out." Fleur hummed,"I said yes and... We went back to my place."
"Is that why you're wearing that?" Elijah looked her up and down,"There's nothing wrong with it of course but, y'know.."
Fleur bit her cheek,"Is it noticeable?"
"Well, I can't see much of anything but I can make assumptions." Elijah shook his head as he drank.
"Let's hope no one else will assume." Fleur hummed.
"They won't." Elijah told her,"Maybe."
"Hopefully." Fleur nodded.
Finally the two arrived at the BAU, getting out the car and walked to their offices.
"I hope none of you missed. me too much because now you're all stuck with me." Elijah announced.
"We were always stuck with you." Morgan chuckled.
"Isn't that a wonderful revelation?" Elijah hummed as he sat down.
"Hi Elijah." Reid smiled.
"Hey Reid." Elijah turned to look at him.
"Did you sleep okay after I left?" Reid asked.
"I slept fine, but I would've preferred if you stayed." Elijah told him.
"I'm sorry." Reid sighed.
"Hey, I still said I slept fine." Elijah reminded him as he drank.
Reid nodded,"I'm glad."
Fleur sat down at her desk and unpacked her bag,"I heard that we might be getting a new member."
"Ooh, I like the sound of that." Elijah smiled,"It has felt a bit emptier around here."
"I hope Elle's okay." Morgan sighed.
"Well, she never answered any of my calls." Elijah shrugged.
"I think she just... Wants to be alone for now." Fleur told them.
"She'll come back and talk to us when she's ready." Morgan nodded.
That's when they saw a dark haired woman walk by with a box, heading towards Hotch's office.
"Must be the new girl." Fleur shrugged.
"She's pretty." Elijah leaned back in his chair.
"Case." Gideon clapped as he walked by.
"It's always when I get comfortable in the chair." Elijah muttered.
"Get comfy in another chair." Morgan chuckled.
"I'll bring one from home." He sighed.
The four then walked into the Comference Room, Hotch and Gideon after them but not the new girl
