Fearless by Taylor Swift

Emily had been having thoughts of her and Hotch in a relationship for a while now. She thought about going to bed seeing his face and waking up the same way. She wanted to get to know him better. What his favorite color was, his favorite TV show. She wanted to know what it was like to be wrapped up in his arms. To feel his lips over hers. She had no idea how he felt about her. Once in a while she thought she saw signs that he felt the same, but the looks she'd seen in his eyes disappeared as quickly as it came.

She looked up and saw that Hotch was still in his office. She stood up, straightened her outfit out then climbed the steps to Hotch's office. She opened the door and quickly rushed inside closing it tightly behind her.

Hotch looked up in surprise. "Prentiss? Is everything alright? You look nervous."

"I am nervous, but I think I just need to suck it up and be fearless because I need you to know."

Hotch swallowed noticeably. "Need me to know what?"

"I believe it's fearless to tell someone you love them even if you have no idea what that persons reaction might be. It's fearless to love someone who is your best friend. It's fearless to want to be with someone so much that it hurts when you're apart. It's fearless to give your whole heart to someone not knowing whether or not they're going to break it. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm fearlessly in love with you, because I have no idea how you feel or if you're going to hurt me, but I needed to tell you."

Hotch stood up and walked over to Emily. He grabbed the sides of her face and fiercely kissed her lips. "How can you not know how I feel about you? How much I want you? You are all I want. I'm shocked you couldn't see it in my eyes." He kissed her again. "I'm just glad you were fearless enough to tell me. Now come here," he said as he pulled her flush against him and kissed her to the point where they were both breathless.
