Time Skip to the Next Week

(Y/N) and I were out in town, getting stuff for a block party. Our neighbors, Samuel and Thomas invited us. 

Flashback

Knock Knock Knock

I opened the door and two men were standing at the door, both had on identical wedding bands. One man was Hispanic, muscular, and had a well groomed beard, he spoke first.

"Hi! We're your neighbors. I'm Samuel and this is my husband Thomas." The other man was African American, he was clean shaven, and not as muscular as his husband. 

"Nice to meet you. I'm Aaron." I replied, smiling and I heard (Y/N)'s footsteps behind me, coming to see who I was talking to. When she came into view, I looked at her and smiled, continuing,

"This is my wife, (Y/N)." Both men smiled and Samuel clapped his hands together, informing us,

"There's a block party this afternoon. It'd be nice to see you both there!"

(Y/N), being very good at acting, stepped in front of me and replied,

"We'd love to come! Anything that we need to bring?"

"Just some finger foods and some drinks." Samuel replied, smiling back and Thomas, being more flamboyant, looked be up and down. A blush coated his cheeks and Samuel looked at him, raising a brow. 

"Sweetheart, if he looks as good below the belt as he does above the shoulders, I understand why he makes you scream like he does at night." Thomas told (Y/N), making her freeze and I felt my face heat up. Samuel slapped his shoulder and Thomas, asked,

"What? It's true!" Samuel looked at us and sighed, 

"I'm sorry about his bluntness. I hope we haven't scared you off." Chuckling, I wrapped an arm around (Y/N)'s waist and replied,

"Of course not. I'll take it as a compliment."

Flashback End

Which brings us to now, we were in the store, trying to decide what to bring. (Y/N) was looking at some eggrolls to bring and I came back to her with some Patron. When she saw the bottle, she raised a brow and teased,

"Why Mr. Hotchner. . .Are you trying to get some people drunk?" Smirking, I looked down into her (e/c) eyes and replied, huskily,

"Maybe I am, Mrs. Hotchner."

"Like a certain gay neighbor that has a thing for you." 

"!!" 

I felt my face scrunch up and (Y/N) laughed, turning back to the premade finger food. We both knew that Thomas was just very blunt and that he'd never cheat on his husband. (Y/N) just couldn't help but make the joke. 

"They're a nice couple." I commented, putting different 2-liters into the cart. (Y/N) glanced at me and nodded, replying,

"I think Thomas and I are going to be good friends." 

"Best friends?" 

"Maybe. Depends on how long we're here for."

"HEY! HEY! HEY! DON'T FORGET ABOUT YOUR BEST FRIEND AT HOME! WHO IS RIGHT HERE!" Garcia all but screeched into our coms, making both of us flinch. (Y/N) sighed and grabbed something for lunch tomorrow, whispering into her mic,

"Garcia, if you could not rupture my eardrum. I'd greatly appreciate it."

"Don't talk about replacing me, in front of me, and I won't." Garcia replied, typing something into her computer and informing us,

"So, the entire neighborhood seems to be going. Including, Susan and her new partner Joshua Downs. Also, Thomas seems to be a male version of me. . .So, I'm okay if he becomes our new bestie, (Y/N)." I looked at (Y/N) and chuckled, making her roll her eyes. We headed to the check out and there stood Susan, her eyes on me. She was alone, but we knew she wouldn't make a scene in public. 

"Hotch. . ." Garcia started, but I interrupted her.

"Shh." 

Holding (Y/N)'s hand, I lead her to the check out and we left, heading back home. When we got home, I called Joe and requested,

"Bring in the BAU."

"All due respect, sir. That may be premature."

"It won't be. Susan just followed us to the store and basically had a stare down with, (Y/N). She is getting more confident. Please." 

". . .Okay. They'll be here by tomorrow. I'll double your patrol tonight. Be careful at the party. Stay together." 

"Thank you, Agent." 

Hanging up, I looked at the time and we had only thirty minutes until the party. (Y/N) was changing and when she came downstairs, I swear time froze. She was wearing a casual, but tight, teal sundress. She had on cream colored heels and her makeup was gorgeous. 

"You're staring, Aaron." (Y/N) teased, smiling and I swallowed, thickly. She looked at the time and asked,

"Ready?" Looking down at myself, I hesitated and she commented,

"You look good, don't do that." 

I was wearing a white button down, dark jeans, and nice shoes. Her encouragement made me smile and I helped her grab the stuff we bought for the party. When we got there, I saw everyone and I thought,

'This is gonna be so much more normal.'

"Thank God." (Y/N) breathed, making me smile.
