"It's been awhile," I looked at him with a small smile. "What brings you back here? You're not here because you missed me, are you?" I raised my eyebrows and gave him a sly smirk.
He didn't answer, clearly he wasn't in the mood to play.
"Don't be shy, Agent, I missed you too," I tilted my head to the right, allowing the corners of my mouth to move upwards.
He raised one eyebrow, still locked in his silence, still staring at me. I had had enough of his cold demeanor, he was the one who came to me.
"Why are you here, Hotchner?" I asked. "It better not be because you have more questions about my father, because I'm not answering any more of those." I moved my head an inch forward, putting my entangled hands on the table, looking at him intently, making sure he understood.
"I want you to work for me," the handsome man in the suit finally spoke.

A case in New York brings you back to confront and forces you to work alongside a childhood friend - Aaron Hotchner. A long time ago, your life was alongside the Hotchners. You grew up with your best friend, Sean, and learned to coexist next to his brother - an expert at ignoring you. Your relationship with him was tumultuous at best. Complicated at worst. It only got worse as the years went by.
However, encouraged by your respective superiors to collaborate, you try to learn ways to work together amicably, without bringing out the painful past.
The more you get to know this new version of Hotch, the more feelings arise: new and old ones are sparked to life. All while reminiscing on old memories.
Maybe, what you're both doomed to become is not dissimilar to the remaining wasteland of the bombs you're investigating.
(Elevator pitch: As his brother's best friend, you and Hotch grew up together, but a fall out causes you both to hate one another, only to be reunited years later for a case in NYC. )
childhood friends to enemies to lovers!
