"I can't believe you've never seen that movie before, Spencer," you couldn't help but laugh. The fact that Spencer Reid had never seen Legally Blondes.

"He's not the only one," Rossi said as he took another swig of his drink.

Everyone was enjoying themselves, a sight nice to see. You see these people as hard-working workaholics, it was nice to see everyone un-wind.

"What time is it?" You asked with a yawn. You checked your phone, ignoring the one notification you had received this whole time you've been with the team.

"It's one am?" You yawned again and you figured that would make since why Jack was sprawled out on the floor, passed out.

"Aye, come on now, the night is still young. We've only played a couple of board games and we got gazillion of movies left," Morgan said as he stood up to stretch.

"I hate to agree with YN, but it is getting kind of late," Garcia nodded as she took off her glasses.

"Rossi, what's the sleeping situation here?" JJ asked as everyone turned a little bit silent.

"I'm claiming my own bed, but Spencer there's a pull out couch in my room. JJ, Garcia there's a guest room to your left and Morgan you can have the other guest room since it clearly looks like Hotch and YN claimed the couch for the night," Rossi couldn't help but smile. In that short time, you had managed to lean onto Hotch's shoulder and pass out, while Hotch's head was leaned back on the couch, he too, sound asleep.

"Someone should get a picture of this," Garcia whispered quietly as everyone got up to depart to their own ways.

"See you guys in the morning," Reid said as he grabbed his bag.

------------------------------------------

You awoke with a start. Whatever nightmare you just had, was gone. You looked around the cabin and calmed your breathing. You were safe, you were okay, you reminded yourself. You silently picked up your phone and checked the time. Three am, you lowered your eyes to the brightness of the phone screen.

"Are you okay, YN?" You slightly jump from the sound of Hotch's voice as he rubbed his eyes and slightly sat up from the couch.

"Yeah, just a dream, " you shook your head," I should go join the girl's room," you say as you begin to stand up but you felt Aaron's hand pull you back.

"Or you could stay, the team already saw us asleep together," Aaron's voice was soft.

"Are you sure?" You yawned yet again as you sat back down.

"Come here," Aaron stretched out onto the couch, his arms wide open.

You nodded silently as you curled up next to Aaron Hotchner. The man you once thought shared no feelings, but was actually sweet, even if it was deep down. Hotch's arms felt safe and welcoming, the one thing you needed the most right now.

-------------------------

"Should we wake them up? They just look so peaceful," Garcia asked Morgan as he shook his head.

"It's well past noon, but like us they don't get hardly any sleep. Come on you guys, looks go to the lake. We could kayak or something. How about that Jack?" Morgan ruffled Jack's hair as everyone quietly left the cabin.

"Everyone stick close together, you know just in case," Rossi said as they made way to the lake.
