Reid: A couple weeks after the FBI was brought in, you got transferred to the Quantico Police Department. You found a nice apartment building where one apartment a few doors down was occupied by none other than Dr. Spencer Reid. You didn't find out until about a week into your residency when you bumped into him on your way to work.
After a few months of talking here and there and walking to work until you had to go your separate ways, you were standing at the corner where you normally break off to go to your individual destinations, finishing your conversation. You had developed feelings for the young doctor and didn't really want to go. After a moment of silence, in which neither of you left, Reid said, "This has been nice. I really enjoy having someone to talk to. I mean, I talk to my team and all, but I like you. I mean I like talking to you. uh, I kind of ruined the moment didn't I?" You laughed at his awkwardness. You thought it was cute when he got flustered.
"Would you like to go to dinner with me?" you ask, smiling at him.
"That would be great," he answered as he smiled back.
"Call me when you get back, and we can make plans then."
"Okay," he said with a nod. "Yeah." You guys then said your farewells and went your own ways.

Morgan: "Come on, (y/n). It's obvious your into him," Garcia said. You guys were sitting on her office, talking as you worked. Ever since you first helped the BAU, you have become a regular consultant. Whenever things got overwhelming for Garcia, you would be called in. This was one of those times. And things had sort of calmed down a little bit, leaving you time to talk.
"I don't know. You guys have such a great relationship and I don't--"
"I don't care. You like him and you should go out with him."
A couple days after the team got back, you agreed to meet Garcia in front of her favorite store. You agreed. You arrived a little early and stood there and waited. A few minutes later you heard a smooth, deep voice ask,"(y/n)?" You turn to see Derek Morgan. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm supposed to be meeting Penelope," you reply. "What about you?"
"I was to be meeting her." You sighed as you realized what was going on.
"I should've known."
"She set is up, didn't she?" You nodded. "I new it would happen eventually. She's only been bugging me to take you out since we met." You smile at the coincidence. "Don't tell me she's been bugging you too."
"Yeah. What was your excuse for blowing her off?" He looked down, not wanting you to see the fact that he was blushing.
"I didn't think I stood a chance." You laugh.
"I thought you were Mr. Confident." He looks back up at you, a huge grin on his face.
"Apparently not with you. So what was your excuse."
"I didn't want to come between you two."
"Me and Penelope? If she was telling you to ask me out, it wouldn't be coming between us." Now it was your turn to blush. There was a moment of silence between you. A moment that seemed to last forever. Derek was the one to break the silence. "Well I know a nice place not to far from here. Care to join me?" You looked into his beautiful, brown eyes.
"That would be great," you answer as you slip your arm in his.

Hotch: Ever since you ran into Aaron Hotchner, you started going to every one of your nephew's games, just for an excuse to see him. Your sister had figured it out after about the second time and started bugging you to ask him out. You kept denying your interest in him. You were too nervous to talk to him again, especially with the way your sister was acting.
Now the season was coming to a close. It was the last game and your last chance to talk to him again. Your last chance to ask him out and get your sister to shut up. After the game, as the kids started to disperse, you walked up to Aaron, your sister not far behind. He looked up at you when you were a few feet away. "Hey," he said.
"Hey," you replied. The coach looked down at a boy standing by his side.
"Hey Jack, how 'bout you take Sam and play on the play ground for a bit."
"Okay," the boy said. He then gestured to your nephew and they raced to the nearby playground. You and your sister laughed.
"Well I better go keep an eye on them," your sister said. You blushed as she gave you a wink and headed after the boys.
"(Y/n), right?" Aaron asked.
"Yeah," you answered.
"I've noticed you've been coming to the games more often." You blushed again and nodded before he continued. "And I don't think it's because you've had the sudden urge to support your nephew." He smiled. Something you so rarely saw him do. There was a silence between you two.
Suddenly, in unison, you both say, "There's something I've been meaning to ask you." You guys then start laughing.
"You first," he said.
"No, you. Mine can wait." He waited a moment.
"Would you mind, possibly, going to dinner with me?" You bit your tongue to keep from squealing.
After a moment, you said, "That's actually what I was going to ask you."
"Great. My work schedule can be a bit unpredictable, but we can plan for tonight? 7:30?" Again, you nodded.
"Yeah, that would be great."
"Here, give me your number in case something comes up and I need to change." You guys then exchanged phone numbers and headed over to the playground to get the kids.

Rossi: It was a weekend and you, JJ, Emily, and Garcia decided to have a girl's night out. You guys were in the mall looking at some shoes when your phone went off. You looked down to see who was calling. "Who is it?" JJ asked.
"It's Rossi," you said, confused.
"Why is Agent Rossi calling you?" Garcia asked. You shrugged.
"Well don't just stand there, answer it," Emily said. You did.
"Hello?" you say.
"Hey, (y/n)," Rossi said. "I was wondering if you were busy tonight."
"I'm actually out with the girls," you reply as JJ starts shaking her head. "Why?"
"I was just hoping that, maybe a little later, you would like to come over for dinner. If you're too busy, I completely understand."
"No, no. I'm not too busy. Well, uh..." you stumbled on your words as you looked towards your friends for help, only to realize they can't hear him. "Could you hold on a second?" Before he could answer, you mute your microphone so he can't hear you.
"So what does he want?" Emily asked.
"He invited me to dinner," you answered. The girls started to squeal in excite excitement.
"I knew he was into you," JJ said.
"Why didn't you just say yes?" Garcia asked.
"Well we are in the middle of something,"
"Oh no you don't. This," Emily said, pointing to your phone, "is more important."
"(Y/n) (l/n), you get back on that phone this minute and tell him you would be glad to join him," Garcia demanded. You unmuted your phone.
"You still there?" you asked.
"Yeah," he answered.
"That sounds great. What time do you want me over?"
"Does 9:00 work?"
"Perfect," you said before hanging up. You looked at the girls.
"So?" JJ asked.
"9:00."
"That's only in an hour," Garcia pointed out.
"We have to get you a dress," JJ said.
"Guys, you don't--" you started before being cut off by Emily.
"Yes, we do," she said. Next thing you knew, you were being dragged down the mall.
