100 Ways To Say I Love You

64. "It's two sugars, right?"

"McGee!" Reid called out. You turned around and saw the skinny boy wonder running toward you, his long hair flopping in his face. You couldn't help but laugh at the scene unfolding in front of you. 

"Yes, boy wonder?" you said still laughing. Once Reid came to a stop, he glared at you as you called him the name he despised. 

"Hotch has called a meeting, super important," Reid said trying to catch his breath. You nodded and both walked quickly into the conference room and took your seats the minute you got inside. 

"Hey, guys sorry to call you in on such a rush but we have a missing 6-year-old boy in Tempe, Arizona. His name is Carter Williams. A man Agent Katie Cole has been tracking down for a number of years has been recently active working out of Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico. Carter was abducted on his way home from school," Hotch said as he handed out the case files. 

"Why was he walking home alone at the age of 6? Isn't that a little young?" Blake asked. 

"He was with his older brother, Jacob, age 9 and their neighbors, Kiley, age 8, and Riley, age 6," Garcia chimed in.

"So he definitely had a wide range of children available to him, yet he chose Carter," Morgan said as he looked over the picture of the children. 

"Yes, Katie says our man has a type, blonde hair, and blue eyes and Carter is the only one that fits that profile," Hotch said. Everyone nodded. 

"It's been 4 hours already since he's been reported missing, time is of the essence. Wheels up in 30," Hotch said. The group grabbed their bags and began to make their way to the tarmac. 

Reid, Rossi, Prentiss, and Morgan sat in the chairs with the tables which left you, JJ and Hotch to scoop up the remaining couches. You and Hotch had an interesting relationship. The first day at the BAU you had run into him with your coffee and spilled it on his suit. It was a running joke with everyone now, but you had been so embarrassed. This also sparked a huge crush that you could not shake. Everything he did made you smile. When he furrowed his eyebrows late at night while he was working on a case. When he crossed his arms when he was unimpressed with something. The way he stood and carried himself made your knees weak. Your daydream was interrupted when JJ asked to take the large couch so she could take a nap. Henry had apparently kept her and Will up all night with a cold. So that left you and Hotch to take the small couch. 

As you sat down next to him, he flashed a small smile at you. This caused your heart to jump out of your chest and into your throat. You felt like a high school girl again, falling for Cooper Aaron-Smith, the senior wide receiver for the football team. 

It was 6-hour flight and most of the time you spent drawing in your journal. Most of the drawings were of flowers, but every once and a while you'd draw people. Today you decided to draw Hotch. It was hard because he was so perfect and no drawing could ever do him justice, but you worked on his eyes first. Those stone cold eyes that melted you to your core. 

About 3 hours in, you were done with his face and only his face. You had to restart a few times and were not happy with the way his nose came out. You had to be sneaky about the way you studied him. While JJ, Prentiss, and Rosi were out cold, Reid and Morgan, the biggest teases of the group, were wide awake and already suspicious of your feelings for the boss man. Hotch had headphones on and was deep into a new book he was reading. It helped that he wasn't paying attention to your long glances. 

Another hour went by before Rossi woke up with a jolt. Reid and Morgan looked at him puzzled but he just shook it off and they began talking about other things. Hotch paused his music and set down his book when he finally caught you staring at him. You panicked and got up and headed straight for the bathroom before he could say anything.
