A Criminal Minds x Reader (EDITING-IN-PROCESS)

Chapter Twenty-Five

  "Good morning," you woke up and were cuddled up next to Aaron Hotchner on Rossi's couch. 

"Morning," you say as you awkwardly sat up.

 "I stand corrected, it's afternoon," Aaron yawned as he checked his watch.

"Afternoon?" You instantly sat up and reached for your phone. You were never one to sleep in super late. Your phone read one twenty seven in the afternoon. You had a couple of notifications, but ignored them. 

"I know, I hardly sleep at all as well," Aaron gave a little chuckle before reading the note that was left on the table in front of the couch.

"Where is everyone?" You ask, trying to make the fact that you woke up next to your boss, less awkward. 

"They're at the lake, we should go see what they are up to," Aaron said as he reached for his shoes.

"You go on ahead, I'm going to freshen up in the bathroom and I'll be out there in a couple of minutes," You tell Aaron as he nodded.

You knew exactly who you were going call. Since you've joined the team, you hadn't been the greatest friend to Gracie. You haven't seen her since graduation and that had almost been an entire week. You weren't going to be surprised if  you didn't receive a message from her.

"YN?" You turned around before you headed into the bathroom. Aaron Hotchner, your boss, stood behind you, with a face that you couldn't read.

"I usually don't do this, but something about this feels right," you were in complete shock when he leaned over to kiss you, "Plus, I feel like that would help end the awkwardness between us," he said with a little humph before heading out the door. Ignoring your notifications, you immediately called Gracie.

After a couple of phone trills,  you heard your best friend on the other line.

"Long time, no talk," Gracie answered the phone sarcastically.

"Gracie, I'm sorry I didn't call after I got back but the team basically kidnapped me to go on a weekend getaway with them. Listen, I know I haven't been the greatest friend, I'll make it up to you, I promise, but hear me out here because I am freaking out on the inside and don't know how long I can hide the freaking before it shows. Okay, out with it... I just spent the night cuddled up to my boss and he just may have kissed me," you finally let out a breath after rambling. Rambling had always been a bad habit for you.

"You what? Which one was he? Was he the young one that's a genius or the one who has the darker skin?" Clearly, you knew which agents Gracie had a simple little crush on. She didn't even pinpoint Rossi or Hotchner. You knew she would always be loyal to her boyfriend Thomas.

You give a little laugh before you answer Gracie's question.

"Neither of those two, actually. Gracie you remember the guy who had that kind of dark and demeaning figure? Like he had no feelings? The one who had dark black hair?" You waited a couple of seconds to see what Gracie would say, but you could tell she was at a lost for words.

"Seriously? Boss man? I don't know what to say, I'm rather surprised. Have you told Penelope yet?" Gracie asked. You forgot that her and Penelope had grown close in such a short time of meeting.

"No one knows besides you and well, Hotchner. Everyone else did see us fall asleep on the couch together so it won't be long before the jokes start," you told Gracie.

"Okay, well when you come back, we need a girl's night," Gracie told you and you agreed.

"Yes definitely. Gracie, I hate to cut you short but I got a phone call coming in," You tell her as she said her goodbye.

You didn't recognize the number but it was local. For some reason, you felt like you had to answer it. It was your gut feeling. Your gut feeling got you into the FBI.

"Hello?" You answered the phone call.

"Agent LN, you know I'm quite surprised you answered. I would be in shock too if I had just kissed my boss. Sorry for the intrusion, but I was rather getting bored of Gracie's voice," the unknown voice gave a little sigh, making the caller's voice more dramatic.

"Who is this?" You knew you wouldn't you have time to get Garcia and then pick up a signal from the call. The caller was adquentally stupid enough to call from a regular phone number, there would hopefully be something to trace.

"Wouldn't you love to know? Let's just say I'm a little friend of Michael Holt's," you didn't get a chance to say anything for the caller ended the phone call.

"Figures," you muttered. You didn't realize that the phone call made you start to shake. Not from fear of hurting you, but fear that whoever was tormenting you was closer then you and the team believed.  You decided to do a quick freshening up in the bathroom and then grabbed your gun from your bag, even though the rule for the weekend was no weapons,  no bad guys.

You fastened the gun around your belt buckle, hiding it with your cardigan. You stepped out of the cabin to go to join your team. You were lucky the lake was so close to Rossi's cabin, you were in no mood for a hike.

"YN! YN!" You couldn't help but laugh as you saw Jack run up to you as you approached the lake.

"Hey there bud, what's everyone up to?" You asked Jack as he gave you a small hug.

"Uncle Rossi is trying to teach Uncle Spencer how to fish and it's not going that well," Jack said bluntly, making you laugh.

"Hey there, Sleeping Beauty," JJ came over and eyed you. She knew. Of course, she was a profiler.

"Hey Jack, why don't you hop in the kayak with Uncle Rossi? Maybe you can give Spence some pointers," JJ told Jack as he happily agreed.

"So you and Hotchner?" JJ raised an eyebrow and you instantly looked at the ground, smiling like a complete idiot.

"He's a good guy, YN," JJ told you as the two of you started to walk towards everyone else.

"I know," you say with no hesitation.

"Go over to him then," JJ gave you a little nudge and you instantly blushed. You headed towards Aaron Hotchner, the only man that made you feel protected and safe. You chose to not tell Hotch about the phone call you recieved earlier, you wanted to enjoy yourself. You knew the team needed to enjoy themselves as well. You definitely didn't want to be a burden.
