in theory, the average number of dates it takes to fall in love is twelve. twelve dinners, twelve walks on the beach, twelve kisses goodnight (if you're the type to kiss on the first date). twelve chances for you to fall in love. but take dating out of the equation, and what do you get? twelve separate instances whereby two individuals spend time with each other. the outcome? falling in love anyway. because it's not the circumstance, it's the people. in this case, it's two people who were never meant to fall for each other. but did anyway. ᴄʀɪᴍɪɴᴀʟ ᴍɪɴᴅꜱ [ ɴᴏ ꜱᴇᴛ ꜱᴇᴀꜱᴏɴ ] 𝘼𝘼𝙍𝙊𝙉 𝙃𝙊𝙏𝘾𝙃𝙉𝙀𝙍 𝙭 𝙤𝙘 𝙜𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙙-𝙨 ©2020

"And what if I don't?" You ask defiantly. He comes up closer to you at that remark, close enough so you're the only one that could hear him. Close enough that he hovers over you, pressing your back against the wall. "Then, I'd pull you into the bathroom and make sure you wouldn't be able to sit for the rest of the case." His words are low, bringing out the deeper rumble to his voice. It sends shivers down your spine. "Understand?" "Yes," you scoff. "Yes, what?" "Yes, sir." ______________ Your relationship with your boss has always been complicated, to say the least. You've seen each other at your highest and lowest. You're both incredibly stubborn and unwilling to relinquish control. Yet, you still find him slightly cocky and arrogant. You find yourself defying him at every available turn on cases in an attempt to prove yourself. In turn, he finds you a bit bothersome. But what happens when over time, these complicated feelings fade into something even more complicated. Something that feels less like annoyance and more like adoration. Something that forces you both to face your greatest fear: losing control.

You watched Mr. Hotchner pull his gun out and press it against the mans forehead, cocking it. Your smirk only grows as you walked elegantly towards him, stroking his arm as you stopped behind him. Your other hand rests on his left side as you press your lips to his right ear, and you whisper, "If you shoot him, you won't get what you ask for tonight" You threatened. It took a moment to listen to your warnings, but he slowly took the gun away from the mans face. You wanted to let a sigh of relief exit your lips, but you didn't want to blow your cover. You couldn't blow your cover. |unsub hotch x agent reader|
