Criminal Minds One Shots

*Blood, Sex, and Booze (GarciaxCharacter)

Requested by Littlestar1026 (Character name is Ashley-Rose)

"Hey hot stuff," Garcia flirted.

"Hey baby," Ashley replied, looking back at Garcia. "What's got you all giddy?"

"What? I can't just be happy to see my favorite girl?"

Ashley smiled an almost uncomfortable grin. "Nope! I know that grin all too well, Penelope Garcia." Ashley leaned in for a kiss and swiftly grabbed what was behind Garcia's back.

"Hey!"

"Oooo! What's in the envelope?"

"Rosie give it back!"

"Nu-uh!"

Garcia did the only thing she could think of. She leaned in and began to kiss Ashley passionately.

"Hey, lovebirds. No PDA in the office," Rossi called out.

"Mmrph. Sorry, Rossi!" Ashley called back, breaking the kiss.

Garcia was straightening her glasses when Ashley ripped open the envelope.

"Hey!"

"Oh my god! Pen, you didn't!"

Garcia nodded. "Surprise!" she cheered. "I know how much you love Green Day so I made a few phone calls and voila!"

Ashley placed the tickets down on the desk. "You are literally the most amazing woman on the planet."

"Aww, don't sell yourself short, sweet cheeks," Garcia replied. Making a clicking noise with her cheek she skipped back off to her office.

"I'm not selling myself short," Ashley muttered. "Not the best woman. Not... even a woman," Ashley mumbled even softer.

~ the day of the concert ~

The concert was about halfway done and Ashley was having a blast. As was Garcia.

"I DIDN'T KNOW YOU LIKED THIS KIND OF MUSIC!" Ashley yelled.

"OF COURSE I DO! PUNK, THE IDEA OF BEING YOURSELF REGARDLESS WHAT OTHERS THINK? KIND OF MY JAM!"

Ashley swallowed nervously. "DID YOU KNOW THAT WHEN THEY WERE HERE LAST YEAR AGAINST ME! OPENED FOR THEM?"

"WHO?"

"AGAINST ME! THEY'RE A BAND. THEIR LEAD SINGER IS A TRANS WOMAN."

"OH, COOL."

"THAT DOESN'T BOTHER YOU?"

Garcia looked at Ashley with a confused look. "UH, NO. WHY WOULD IT?"

"Oh thank god," Ashley muttered. "PEN, I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING. I- I-"

"THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG!" Garcia interrupted.

Ashley stopped talking and noticed the song. "BLOOD, SEX AND BOOZE IS YOUR FAVORITE?"

"YEAH!"

"WHY?"

Garcia leaned close to Ashley. So close she didn't have to yell. "Because I like to get freaky. If you know what I mean."

Ashley shivered. "Noted," came the response.

~ at home ~

The two were back at Ashley's house in the bedroom.

"Pen, wait. I have to tell you something."

"Okay. What is it sugar plum?"

"I, um... I haven't been er- totally honest with you. I'm uh. I'm trans. I'm a demigirl."

Garcia blinked. "Okay. What are your pronouns? And do you have a different name I should be using?"

"That's it?" Ashley gasped.

"Uh, well I'm not sure what else I'm allowed to ask. I mean if there's anything about your journey to self-discovery you wanna tell me I'm all e-"

"No no no. I mean, that's it? You're- you're fine with this?"

"Uh, yeah why wouldn't I be? We've been dating for two years now. I think I know you, Tootsie."

"What?"

"Well, I know you. I know you as a person, and I love that person."

"I- I love you too."

"Now, are you still good with being called Ashley-Rose and whatever nicknames came from that?"

"Yep." 

"And she and her?"

Ashley nodded. "But sometimes I think I might like being called they and them better."

"No problem, Rosie."

Ashley blushed. "So, you still uh, still wanna get... freaky?"

Garcia grinned madly. "Let's hope these walls are thick. For your neighbor's sake."
