Hi everyon! I decided to give you all a Christmas present. This is my first story that is pure fluff! I'm going to even try to play matchmaker. I've never done anything like this before so, bare with me. And happy holidays :)
Strausse was sitting in her office on Christmas Eve. Most of the BAU had taken the day off. Except for, agent Jareau, who was working while her husband, agent Hotchner was in the hospital with their son, Henry. Strauss didn't know the details. All she saw was that their minds were never completely on get their jobs done. They were never completely present.
Agent Rossi was there as well, but his reasons were even worse. He wanted to invite her to his Christmas party. All flights had been grounded for the holidays, because it was snowing to much, so agent Rossi had invited everyone over to his house. When he had givin his proposition to Strausse she politely turned him down. Her ex-husband had taken all her kids on a trip to the beach that year, and she just wanted to be left alone. Dave simply wouldn't accept the rejection, and he had made it his life's work to get her at that party. He even sent the tech analysis to ask her about it. The man was relentless.
Erin continued to fill out paperwork, until agent Jareau walked into the room.
"I'm leaving now, and I just wanted to wish you a merry Christmas,"she said quietly.
"You were late again,"said Strausse, untouched by her attempt to please the old woman.
"I'm sorry,"JJ said, obviously distracted,"It takes longer to get here from the hospital."
"If you had any sense you, and agent Hotchner would put your job before your personal affairs."
"Yes ma'am,"agent Jareau said. She obviously didn't want to put up a fight.
The defeated agent walked out of the room, and got on an elevator. Then agent Rossi poked his head in smiling.
"Merry Christmas Erin!"
"Oh my God!"the chief exclaimed,"is there one person in this building who isn't obsessing over Christmas?"
"Why are you being such a Scrooge? I'm only being cheerful."
"Call me that again, and you can go be cheerful at your next boss."
"Speaking of cheerful-"
Oh no. Here it comes. She thought.
"Will you please come to my Christmas gathering? It's for everyone who's spending the holidays alone tomorrow, and I happen to know that you fall into that category."
"I don't need your charity, and I know your team doesn't need their boss ruining their festivities. I will be just fine on my own."
Dave turned around to leave, and then stopped,"If you happen to change your mind, then you're always welcome to come."
Erin sat alone now. She kept thinking about that comment Dave said, about her being a Scrooge.
"Bahumbug indeed,"she said,"Bahumbug indeed."
