Author's Note: I decided to take the 25 Days of Christmas Challenge for the second year in a row, mixing up the pairings and ideas for each day!

Mistletoe
Pairing: JJ/Emily

Unwinding at Garcia's house was something that the three ladies of the teams would do after a particularly hard case. This time, it was a stressful missing child case, and luckily, they'd found him in the nick of time. When they stepped off of the jet and saw Garcia standing there, JJ and Emily exchanged a look of relief and walked over, getting into her car. Garcia opened her mouth to speak, but seeing the looks on their faces, she shut it again and turned her attention to her car, starting it and driving back to her apartment.

JJ and Emily were sitting on the couch, Emily slipping off her shoes and pushing them under the table with her feet while JJ put her feet up on the couch, curling up on a single couch cushion.

"Nobody was injured this time, right?" Garcia called from the kitchen.

JJ shook her head, running a hand through her hair. "The team is completely intact physically, and the little boy went to the hospital as a precautionary measure, but he's fine."

"Thank God. I love you guys, I do, but damn it if I don't want to slap you silly when you do something to end up in the hospital. Especially Reid, that boy is going to cause me to go prematurely gray, I swear it."

Emily laughed. "Pretty sure he's doing that to all of us. He's probably going to give Hotch his first gray hair and Jack won't be able to take credit for it."

Garcia stepped into the living room, holding out a wine glass to each of them. "My pull out couch is yours for the sleeping tonight Boss Man says we don't have to be in until 9:30 tomorrow and I say we take the opportunity to sleep in a teeny tiny bit."

"I'll drink to that," Emily mumbled, taking a sip.

Garcia grinned as she watched JJ lean her glass over to Emily's, clinking it softly before taking a sip of her own. She sat in her chair and opened up the bottle, pouring herself a glass and turning on some romantic comedies on TV.

After a few drinks, they all decided to call it a night and put on their pajamas before going to bed. Garcia grabbed a few blankets from her closet walking out to the living room and pulling out the bed from the couch, making it for them.

"Garcia, we could've done it," Emily said, walking in and taking out her earrings, putting them into a small pocket of her go-bag.

She put up her hand. "Don't worry, it's my pleasure." She set a couple of pillows down, fluffing them. "Just want you to be comfortable."

"I don't think it'll take much. I was ready to pass out on the flight," she explained, sitting on the bed and stretching.

"Pen, do you still have that little lamp so we're not sleeping in pitch black?" JJ asked, stepping out of the bathroom.

Garcia put up a finger before leaning over, flicking it on. "Done and done."

"One of the many reasons I love you." She tucked her toothbrush into her go-bag and zipped it up, sitting beside Emily and pulling the blanket over herself. "Night."

"Not so fast," Garcia spoke up.

Emily raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"

She smirked, pointing above them. "For the upcoming holiday season, I did some decorating."

"And why does that matter?"

JJ looked up at her ceiling and groaned, eyeing Garcia. "Seriously? How old are you?"

She shrugged. "Old enough to know that you shouldn't disrespect the almighty mistletoe."

Emily rolled her eyes. "You're actually the worst." She leaned over, resting her hand on JJ's cheek before leaning in, pressing her lips against JJ's.

JJ blushed, pulling back and eyeing Garcia. "We can get revenge, you know."

Garcia shrugged, smiling. "It'll be interesting to see whatever it may be. Good night, my sweets!" she announced before walking to her bedroom.

JJ eyed Emily. "Pictures of her on ladies' night?"

Emily shook her head slightly. "I think we need to go bigger and more embarrassing."

"This'll be fun," JJ said, lying down, Emily wrapping her arm around JJ's waist.
