AN: Alright well I got my prompts for the New Years challenged and scratched my head. This will NOT be romance between the two men. For those who came, saw, and conquered; sorry but that's not really my style. So we will be having a party. And you've got to admit, with Dave, this could get fun! So sit back, relax, and enjoy!
Disclaimer: I only own my husband David Rossi! *sees Cassie shaking head* What do you mean no? *mutters* Excuse me, please continue on… *walks away* We are married!

Pairing: Hotch/Dave
Prompts: champagne, screaming "Happy New Year", house party

Dave leaned haphazardly against the wall. Aaron shot him a worried look. The older profiler had buzzed right through two bottles of champagne and it was only 11:30. Aaron and Emily had thrown a house party and JJ had declined coming; she was spending New Years with Will and Henry. That hadn't settled well with Dave. He had told her he loved her and she went and married Will. Aaron had never seen his best friend so torn up. Not even in all three marriages had Dave ever been so torn up over them leaving him. JJ was different.
"We need to do something" Emily whispered to her husband, her pregnant belly pressing against him. Aaron agreed, but he didn't know what to do. It was obvious Dave was sloshed and he was nasty to everyone aside from Emily, Garcia, and the kids. That boded well for them. Everyone else was screwed.
"What do we do? JJ has his heart and as much as I love her, she stomped on it pretty good" he muttered. Emily nodded. JJ knew it too, but instead of doing what she wanted and faced challenges and fears, the blonde took the easy way out.
"Well we could have Morgan knock him out" Emily said with a grin. Aaron chuckled.
"Dave doesn't have enough brain cells to lose if we do that." Emily pouted. Suddenly Dave pushed off the wall and headed out the door. Emily gave Hotch a kiss before he followed his friend, only to see Dave sitting on the steps, his knees pulled up to his chest. The only sound made broke Aaron's heart.
Dave was sobbing.
Aaron backed inside the house realizing that Dave needed space. He was truly in pain and Aaron wished that he could help him. As the clock struck midnight everyone shouted out a loud, "Happy New Year!" to each other. All but one David Rossi. A year ago he lost his heart. A year ago JJ and Will were broken up and Dave had kissed JJ at the party. A year ago he was rejected. 3 weeks ago he wanted to die. Dave sat on the steps and looked at the stars.
"Let me go peacefully this year" he whispered, knowing Aaron wasn't too far away. "Just let me die."
