TW: Mentions of throwing up

Erin Strauss-

How You Met: I was walking through FBI headquarters at Quantico. I was walking towards the elevators so I could head up to the six floor which is where I'm supposed to be starting my new job with the BAU. I  finally got onto a elevator and saw that the button for the sixth floor was already pressed. As I was standing in the elevator some more people pushed their way onto the elevator pushing into me making me bump into one of the other people on the elevator making that person spill the drink they were holding on my shirt. I apologized to the guy I bumped into even though it wasn't my fault and he just nodded it off. I stand watching the numbers of the elevator go up waiting for the time the doors open on the sixth floor. When the elevator gets to the sixth floor I have to push my way forward and I apologize to everyone I have to push past. As I'm stepping out of the elevator some guy pushes past me and knocks me down making the bag I'm holding fall out of my hands and slide across the floor. I grumble to myself as I push myself up off the floor. As I stand up I see a older blonde women holding my bag. I sheepishly walk up to women and look at her holding my hand out for the bag, "Um thank you for grabbing that." She just nodded, "No problem. Seems you're having a bad day." I notice she's staring at my shirt as she says that and I nod, "Oh yeah some guy spilled his drink on me, but honestly not my worst first day at work ever." She nods and holds out her hand for me to shake, "I'm Erin Strauss the Section Chief for the BAU." I smile as I shake her hand, "I'm Y/N Y/L/N. I'm starting with the BAU today." She nods and goes to say something, but before she can Agent Hotchner walks up to us and says, "Agent Y/L/N we have a briefing." I nod at him and turn to Erin, "It was nice to meet you." She nods then I start to follow Agent Hotchner.    

She Realizes She Likes You As More Then A Friend: I was sitting at my desk working on some budgeting and reading through paperwork from the BAU team. It was pretty late at night so I didn't think any of the members of the BAU were still there. There was a knock on my door and I looked up as it opens. I smile a little when I see Y/N, "Good evening Agent Y/L/N. I didn't realize the team was still here." She smiles at me, "Oh they aren't I just had a lot of paperwork to do so I decided to stay late." I nod and she wallks over placing a stack of files on my desk. My eyes widen a little at the size of the pile, "I didn't realize you were so far behind on paperwork." She laughs a little, "Oh it's not all mine the others had some paperwork to and for some reason they don't like you, but I do so they all leave their paperwork for me to bring to you." I smile a little bit, "Yes I know the others don't like me because of some of the things I do to the team." She shrugs, "You just do you're job and it's a hard job to do they wouldn't understand." I smile a little, "Thank you for saying that Y/N." She nods and smiles as she leaves my office. I smile as I take the big stack of paperwork and start to go through it smiling at the though of Y/N willingly wanting to see me. 

How She Would React If You Held Her Hand Before You're Dating: I was sitting at my desk working on some paperwork. I was the only one from the team here because after getting back from our last case they decided to all go out for drinks. I finished up the sentence I'm writing then I stand up and walk of towards JJ's office to grab a paper that I printed off on her printer. As I was walking I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going. I bumped into someone and we both started to fall over. I reached out and grabbed the other persons hand as I try and steady both of us. I accidentally push the other person against the wall blushing when I see it's Erin. I blush a bit and clear my throat as I take a sped back not dropping her hand yet, "I'm so sorry I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." She smiles a little, "It's fine Y/N. What are you doing here so late? I heard the rest of your team went out for drinks." I smile, "Oh well I don't drink and I'm a bit behind on paperwork so I just decided to stay and finish it." She nods slowly looking down to our entangled hands. I look down slowly dropping her hand as I take a few steps back putting some space between us. We stand there awkwardly for a little then I look away and start to walk away slowly.
