Authors Note- This is just a little oneshot idea that popped into my head. No Blake. Enjoy! X
11.45.
It was 15 minutes to midnight and she had no one to kiss. She knew who she wanted to kiss but it wasn't really an option for her to kiss her unit chief. Unless…
She sat down on the sofa and took in the people around her. Everyone was happily chatting in Rossi's living room waiting for the clock to strike twelve. Dave hadn't invited many people, just the team and a few guests. She thought this was uncharacteristic for Dave as he was one for throwing big parties but she didn't dwell on the fact for too long. She was on a mission.
She made a mental note of the couples in the room…
Erin and Dave, JJ and Will, Morgan and Pen and the other guests who weren't part of the team. She wasn't going to kiss a stranger on New Year's Eve, she wasn't that desperate. That left Hotch and Spencer…
She got up and made her way over to where he was sitting talking to Pen.
"Hey guys, Pen I think the other guests were talking about truth or dare?"
"Oooh yay! I love that game" and with that she was gone.
Emily sat down next to Spence. "So Spence, who you kissing at midnight?" There was no point in dancing around the subject, she may as well just ask to save time.
Spencer coughed awkwardly, "well I…I'm not kissing anyone"
"Do I want to ask why?"
"Emily do you have any idea how many germs are spread through the act of kissing! Not to mention mouths warts-"
"Okay thank you Spencer I don't need you putting me off kissing for the rest of my life." And with that Emily began walking over to Hotch.
He was standing by himself in the corner of the room, staring out into the night sky.
"Hey Hotch." He jumped nearly spilling his drink. Emily winced "Sorry I didn't mean to startle you."
"It's alright, everything ok?"
"Um…I was just wondering who you planned on kissing at midnight."
Hotch was a little taken aback by her forward approach but this was Emily. Everything about her was direct and to the point. That's what he loved about her.
Loved?
He didn't have time analyse his thoughts as Emily coughed awkwardly signalling he had been silent for too long. "Um no one actually I figured everyone already had someone so…how about yourself Prentiss, see anyone you fancy? Hotch wiggled his eyebrows.
Yes.
Emily scoffed, "don't be ridiculous Hotch, I'm not going to kiss a total stranger on New Year's Eve!"
"How about Reid? Oh no wait….that's right-"
"Mouth warts?" Emily offered.
Hotch winced at the thought. "Yeah, that conversation almost put me off kissing for the rest of my life."
"You and me both!" Emily paused, "So, I don't have anyone and you don't have anyone…"
Hotch knew where she was headed but decided to put his suspicions to the test. "I guess that means neither of us will be kissing anyone at midnight..."
Emily's face visibly dropped and Hotch supressed the urge to laugh. "Um-"
"Pren- Emily I'm kidding. Would you um…maybe want to kiss me at midnight?"
Emily smiled, "I would love to" Emily's face flushed at the realisation of what she'd just said "Um, I mean that would be nice I didn't mean love I-"
Her rambling was cut off by Hotch's chuckle, "Emily it's okay."
Emily smiled, Hotch returned her smile with an even bigger grin.
Five minutes. Maybe this would change her relationship with Hotch forever, for the better of course.
She would just have to wait and see.
Authors Note- I hope you enjoyed that, it wasn't the most interesting but I'm still getting to grips with writing, especially humour! Sorry if you thought the ending was short lived but hey that's what the review button is for! Let me know if you have any preferences for future oneshots! x
