y/n pov: i looked through the peephole and saw emily standing in the hall. i opened the door and after i said her name in a questioning tone, she stood there in the doorframe staying silent. i was a little confused as to why she was at my apartment building but none the less invited her in. she hesitated a second before stepping into the living room. "i know you like to be on time to things but damn, i didn't realize 2am was the new 10am," i said and that seemed to have got her out of her head. she looked at me and seemed embarrassed. "i.. i'm sorry-" she began before i cut her off. "i was kidding," i said with a soft smile, "but for real, i'm tired. i'm going back to bed," i said and she shook her head. "yeah, no of course. sorry again for showing up like this," and turned around to leave.

i grabbed her arm and she looked back at me. i gave her a look, slightly shaking my head, "no, ma'am, you are not leaving. you show up to my apartment at this time of the night? you are staying the night," i said, "it's late and i don't want you driving anymore than you already have." i noticed a slight blush creep to her cheeks as i closed the front door, re-locking the deadbolt before i took her by the hand and led her into my bedroom.

emily pov: i had absolutely zero clue as to why y/n was so okay with the fact that  i had just showed up at her door in the middle of the night with no explanation, but i wasn't about to protest her acceptingness. she led me into her bedroom and i suddenly got nervous again. i took in my surrounding and smiled to myself, her room was exactly how i would imagine it; simple but homey, just like her. 

there was string lights and fake vines on the wall behind her bed, a bookshelf lined with various sized books ranging in every genre, every spine facing the same way. on top of the shelf was a tv and a salt rock lamp-giving the room a soft glow. her desk was neatly organized with a cup full of pens, a white desk lamp, her laptop closed on the table top and a framed picture of her with someone. there was a medium sized map on the wall with various countries and states scratched off indicating places she had traveled to. when my eyes were done scanning the room, they landed back on her, and she met my gaze. she smiled, "so miss profiler, what does my room say about me as a person?" she asked.

 i smiled at her in response and slightly shook my head in amusement, "well.." i started, taking a few steps around the room like i was investigating a crime scene, "i would say that you are an organized person, on top of your work," making my way over to her desk i opened her laptop and looked at the wallpaper, "you enjoy traveling, seeing the map on the wall, and the photo on your screen i assume is somewhere you have been, italy i would guess..." i said trailing off as i made my way back over to her before taking her hand into mine before finishing, "and that you are a homebody. definitely more introverted, and definitely closed off seeing as you don't have very many personal touches in your living space..." she looked at me, scrunching her nose a bit. "so, how did i do?" i asked and she said nothing in response. 

y/n pov: i couldn't believe the accuracy emily was able to give with just a quick glance around my room. it made me feel vulnerable and i could feel the walls i had put up start to crack. i didn't know how to respond and i could tell she was a little worried that she had just upset me in some way. i still didn't know what to say so instead i pulled her into a hug. i think she was taken by surprise but eventually wrapped her arms around me in response. being in her arms felt safe and i had the sudden urge to start crying but, i held back my tears not wanting to freak her out anymore than i probably already had. she pulled back a bit and noticed the glassy look in my eyes before pulling me into another hug, putting her right hand on the back of my head, slightly intertwining her fingers in my hair. "hey, it's okay sweetheart," she whispered, "what's going on in that pretty little head of yours?" and i was the one to pull back this time, looking at her. 

her eyes softened when they met mine and she gave me a small smile and it felt like déjà vu standing here in this position with her. our faces were inches apart from each other and i leaned forward the slightest bit, our lips barely touching. we stood like that for a moment before i pulled away slightly, looking into her eyes for the reassurance i needed; finding exactly what i was looking for. i pressed my lips against hers and felt my heart jump at the contact. 

emily pov: everything i had been hoping for, for the past few days had finally happened. her lips were warm and soft against mine and tasted faintly of mint sending shivers through my body. the kiss was needy as i cupped her cheek in my hand, the other staying at her waist. i deepened the kiss by leaning slightly forward, pushing myself to her as close as physically possible. after a few moments i pulled back reluctantly, needing air. she smiled at me shyly and my heart was melting as i got lost in her eyes for what seemed like the 100th time this week. "how can someone i have known for such a short amount of time have this type of affect on me?" she asked in a soft, half serious tone with a hint of disbelief. i replied back with a smile, "i could be asking you the same thing," and in response to that, she pressed her lips to mine once more. this time it was warm and gentle and felt like home- just like her. she pulled back again looking down momentarily before meeting my gaze once again, softly biting her bottom lip and smiling.

we stood like this for a brief moment before she then took my hand in hers, leading me over to her bed and laying down. she held the covers back patting the spot next to her, and i kicked off my shoes before following her gesture and climbing in. she immediately moved her body closer to mine and i wrapped an arm around her, pulling her closer and closing the gap between us. i looked down at her and she was mindlessly playing with her rings meaning i knew something was on her mind. i took her hand in mine, pulling her out of her thoughts and she looked up at me and gave a soft smile.

y/n pov: i kissed her- the same thought repeating in my mind over and over again-and she kissed back. my mind was replaying the moment over and over until she pulled me out of my thoughts by taking my hand into hers. "i'm really glad you got the times mixed up and came over early," i said to her, earning a small laugh in response. "me too," she said softly. i tilted my head back down and looked at our intertwined fingers, as she was rubbing small circles on the back of my hand with her thumb. i smiled to myself and tried to nuzzle my body deeper into her side, wanting to be close as physically possible. in response to my movement, with her free hand she brushed my hair off of my face, tucking it behind my ear and kissed my temple. 

for the first time, in a long time, i felt safe and content. i drifted to sleep as the tiredness i was feeling earlier quickly consumed my thoughts and body.

emily pov: y/n's breathing started to even out and that indicated to me that she was asleep. i looked down at her and stared in admiration. i kept thinking about what she had said, 'how could someone i've known for such a short amount of time have this type of affect on me?' and i honestly didn't have an answer. i study and analyze behavior for a living yet i had absolutely no explanation as to how someone i didn't even know a month ago made me feel so whole. 

i soon started to fall asleep as well, and it was a lot easier to do so with y/n next to me.
