Feelings You Leave (HotchxReid)

Jealousy

"So how long have you two been dating?" J.J. asks.

"Well, three years, but our four year anniversary is coming up soon," Anne smiles and Aaron hugs her tighter.

"That's so great you guys," Emily says.

"Well, thank you, I just love this man, so much," Anne hugs him tighter.

Spencer's face turns a red color as he stands up and walks in side abruptly.

Spencer stands in Rossi's kitchen, deciding what to do next.

"Hey, Pretty Boy, you okay?" Morgan asks, appearing around the corner.

Reid jumps but quickly fixes himself.

"Yes, Derek, I'm fine. Just needed fresh air," Spencer lies, grabbing a random drink from the fridge.

"First of all, we were outside," Derek states and takes the drink out of Spencer's hand, "And this is beer. You don't drink."

Spencer grabs the drink back and puts it in the fridge, sighing.

"I just need some alone time," Spencer says, almost annoyed.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Derek asks, reaching for Spencer's shoulder.

"Not really. Please, let's just go back outside before everyone else prys their way in to my life," Spener says, brushing past Derek, stomping.

Spencer shuts the door as Derek gets near it and sits in his chair.

"Woah, Spence, you okay?" J.J. asks.

"Yes. Perfect, actually. Maybe one day, everyone will stop asking me that," Spencer spits.

"Were just trying to help-" J.J. tries to say but Spencer cuts in.

"Well, I don't need it. I'm not weak because someone I love dies, okay?" Spencer almost shouts.

"Look, I'm sorry for getting angry, but please, stop," Spencer stands up, and leaves.

"Did I do something wrong?" Anne asks in Hotch's ear and he shakes his head.

Aaron stepped to chase after Spencer, but held back, knowing he can get to Spencer later.

"I'm sure he's just frustrated. Let's just let him cool off," Aaron demands and everyone nods.

"Love being the girlfriend of a powerful boss," Anne whispers into Hotch's ear, making him smile a bit.

"You know, if we have another dinner, the team can meet Jasmine," Aaron smiles.

"I hope she would behave though. I love my daughter, but man, she acts like her dad," Anne laughs and Aaron kisses her cheek.

"Is it okay, later, if I go check on Reid? I'm the the one he goes to for comfort," Aaron asks, and Anne nods.

"Whatever you want, Baby," Anne smiles.

"Anne, I love you so much, you know that?" Aaron asks and Anne smiles and nods.

Everyone eventually goes home and Aaron drops Jack off and gets him to bed at Jessica's while he goes to Spencer's.

He knocks three times and waits. Silence. Three more times. Silence again.

"Spencer, open up. It's me," Aaron says and the door opens to find Spencer in his pajamas.

"Come in," Spencer says and let's Aaron in.

"Want to talk about it?" Aaron questions and Spencer sits next to him, closely.

"Yeah. I just, don't know how to describe it," Spencer tells him truthfully and Hotch nods.

"I miss Riley, this isn't new. I think talking to you has been helpful, I don't cry as much, or think about him as much as I used to. Which is weird, because it's only been a few days. It just feels right talking to you, talking to somebody who's lost a love one that I trust," Spencer admits.

"I see. I'm glad I can help anyway I can," Hotch says, "Are you sure there's nothing else?"

"Well, I don't want the team to constantly ask if I'm okay or that I can't do anything," Spencer also admits.

"They're just looking out for you," Aaron says and Spencer nods.

"I know. Everyone sees me as a kid though."

"Because you're the youngest. Trust me, I understand. I was the youngest on the team once before."

"It's fine, I'll deal with it. Thank you for listening Hotch. Thought you were going to hang out with Anne and Jack," Spencer says.

"Well, Anne had to get home to her daughter, Jasmine," Aaron says.

"Well, you can crash on the couch if you must. I'm going to sleep," Spencer says, standing up.

"I will. Care to give me some PJ's?" Hotch says and Spencer freezes midwalk.

"You were probably joking, I know, but I would love to stay," Hotch says and Spencer grabs some sweats.

"I don't have any shirts that'll fit you," Spencer says and Hotch nods.

"That's fine," Aaron says. Spencer goes to his room to get an extra blanket and pillow for Hotch and Hotch goes to put on his sweatpants.

"The sweatpants fit me quite well, Reid. These aren't your size," a shirtless Hotch states, walking out of the bathroom.

"Yeah, well-" Spencer stops, seeing Hotch shirtless.

"Spencer?"

"Right, yeah, sorry, lost my train of thought. I bought the pants on accident. Here's your pillow and blanket," Spencer says awkwardly and Hotch smiles.

"Thank you."

"Hey, Hotch," Spencer says.

"Yeah?"

"I think things are going to get better," Spencer says.

"Good," Hotch smiles and Spencer heads to bed with butterflies in his stomach.
