Purple Butterflies

"..........................this is what happens when i dont have my coffee to keep me sane!!!!"

Rossi and Hotch drank their scotches at the bar counter. Both men had decided to go out together, and leave their young team mates behind this time. They had been at the bar for nearly an hour, and were both pretty drunk.

"So, Reid DOES look pretty good in purple, doesn't he?" Rossi said bluntly- obviously drunk.

Hotch laughed, and shook his head. "Huh- I guess you're right!''

"Like that shirt he wore yesterday in Detroit- man that one officer couldn't keep her eyes off him!" They both laughed. There was a silent pause as the men took a sip of their drinks.

"I think Reid should get a tattoo." Hotch suddenly announced.

"Really? Why in the world would Reid get ink done?" Rossi asked, amused.

"Because nobody would suspect it! I mean, come on! Doesn't EVERYONE do something crazy when they're young. And it's about time Reid did something crazy." Hotch reasoned.

Rossi thought about Reid having a tattoo, and suddenly nodded his head. "He should get a purple butterfly tattoo on his lower back. I mean, not like a tiny one that no one can see, and not a big one that's trashy. Like a medium sized one!!!!"

Hotch smiled, and whipped out his phone.

''What are you doing?" Rossi asked suspiciously.

"Hey Reid. Um, I just wanted to ask you a question.............how much money would it take for you to get a tattoo?..............just curious...........of what? oh, a purple butterfly tattoo on your back of medium size................really? That's it?..........hey Reid? Need some cash?...........Really? Well, that's a bummer.........sure...........Okay, see you there. Bye Reid."

"What was that?" Rossi questioned.

"Reid;s getting a tattoo. Apparently, he had some car trouble, and he needs $200 to fix it, and he needs the money. Do you have $100?" Hotch said.

Rossi got up. "I can have a hundred bucks in three minutes." He walked towards the ATM, and Hotch followed. They both got $100 dollars, and walked out the door, towards the cars, and headed off to the tattoo shop............

Hotch and Rossi waited outside in the waiting room as Reid got his tattoo done. Hotch and Rossi had paid for it, because of Reid's money problems, and had given him half the 200 dollars in advance. Reid didn't look too happy about getting the tattoo, but knew he had no choice.

A half an hour later, Reid came out, grimacing and rubbing his lower back. "You guys are jerks." he mumbled under his breath. He thought it was mean of them to be taking advantage of him like this because he needed the money, but went through with the pain, anyway. Reid pulled up the back of his pruple shirt, and pulled his pants down slightly to reveal the rest of it- all the while feeling very violated.

Rossi and Hotch gazed at it, and laughed. Although it was weird that Reid had a tattoo of a purple butterfly on his lower back ,they were both amazed it looked pretty nice. Rossi touched the tattoo, and Reid nearly screamed.

"I swear if you touch it again, I WILL hurt you!!" he yelled. "Now, I'm going home, and putting aloe on the damn thing!" With that, Reid stormed out the door, gasping in pain.

"Wow- he seemed pissed." Rossi stated.

"Yeah, but I can't believe he actually did it!"

Hotch once more pulled out his phone, and dialed JJ's number. "Hey JJ? Guess what Reid just did!"

"................(:LOL that was fun to write!!! please R&R!!!!!"
