Story based on the song Doing it Wrong by Drake
The BAU had a case and were going to their hotel after a long day. It was already midnight and Emily was up thinking about what had happened that day. She was sitting on her bed, in her pajamas, when she suddenly got up and walked out of her hotel room. Emily walked down the hall and knocked on Hotch's door. A few seconds later the door opened.
"Prentiss? What are you doing here?" Hotch asked pulling her inside the door.
"I- I need to talk to you…" she replied sitting on his bed.
Hotch sat next to her confused.
"And it couldn't have waited until tomorrow?"
"No," she said tears pooling in her eyes.
"What's wrong? What is it, Em?" he asked putting his hand on her knee.
"I kinda... ummm.." she trailed off.
"Emily, spit it out. I don't have all night," Hotch replied standing up.
"I love you…" Emily whispered, a tear falling down her cheek.
"What?" Hotch said wide eyed.
Emily said nothing; she just stared at the ground.
"Emily, I can't do this. Please go back to your room," he said pulling her up from the bed.
Emily cried some more as he held her arm.
"You're only saying that because I saved you from a beating, come on Em, go to bed," he said.
"That's not why… I knew before then," Emily whispered, tears still falling from her face.
"It's wrong for me to watch you cry, please go…" Hotch replied.
"Hotch-"
"No. You can cry if you want to but I can't stay to watch you, talk of you need to but I can't stay to hear you, it's the wrong thing to do... Please don't do this to yourself," he said walking to the door.
Emily cried and walked up to Hotch in the doorway. She got up on her tippy toes and placed a kiss on Hotch's lips. He stayed kissing her for a moment or two before he pulled away. He shook his head and a tear fell from his face.
"Please Emily; I can't do this, neither can you. Please just go. It's wrong..." Hotch said moving her outside.
Emily had tears streaming down her face; she stood in the doorway looking at Hotch.
"If you stay I'll end up lying and I'll break your heart, please Emily," he said running his hand through her hair.
Emily nodded and went back to her room in tears. Hotch closed the door and sat on the ground up against the door, thinking about what he just did.
