A/N: I have no idea when this story takes place, just sometime before Season 6 finally. This story will be told, I think for the most part, from Emily's POV.
We had gotten back from a rough case, granted we don't ever have an easy case, and we decided to go to our usual after case bar. We all know that we should go home rest and be ready for the endless paper work tomorrow, but that never happens. Rossi came and had a drink before he said he had to leave and Hotch had begged off as always. Though that was several hours and drinks ago. The boys and I were playing pool, and JJ and Garcia were now out on the dance floor. Before it got too crazy all of had played a couple games of pool, and JJ beat all of our asses at darts.
I had just taken my shot, sinking my last ball before the eight ball. Morgan was leaning up the table, chalking up for his next shot. When I looked up I could just barely see through the mass of people and make out JJ. Morgan chuckled and shook his head, "You know, you could just go out there and dance with her. It would certainly save my pride from this game."
"You know I don't dance, and I certainly don't give up a chance to beat your ass at game of pool."
"I don't think you really get a choice," he laughed.
I looked towards JJ again, here she was making her way over to us, "Come on Emily, lets go dance," she said as she dragged me out on to the dance floor. I turned back to look at Morgan for help and he just laughed and waved to me.
We found Garcia and danced with her for a while, before she went to dance with a cute boy. We soon made our way to the center of the dance floor completely surrounded by people. The amount of people on the dance floor pushed us closer together. I definitely did not mind dancing that close to JJ. In my wildest dreams I never dream of actually dance with her. I slowly pushed my limits to see how close she would let me get. What surprised me was the fact that she grabbed me and pulled me close and started to grind. In that moment the crowed disappeared in my mind, and I just gave myself over to dancing with her. We danced like that for a while, neither one of us aware of what was happening around us nor really caring.
What broke me out of my dance induced haze, was JJ's breathy moan in my ear, and hot against my neck. I froze, everything I was desperately trying to forget out on that dance floor came rushing back in an instant. "Damn it, Prentiss. This is JJ, your friend, your really really hot friend. No! She is your friend and she deserves better than this." I mentally berated myself. How could I forget, how could I dance with her like that. She couldn't possibly want me like that. I separated from her almost immediately, ignoring her confused look. I wove a quick path from the dance floor to the bathroom to collect myself, hoping she wouldn't follow.
When she finally did come into the bathroom, she found me gripping the sink, trying desperately to get my breathing and thoughts under control.
"Are you okay, Em?"
I didn't even look up to answer her, "I shouldn't have danced with you like that."
"Like what?"
"Like a sex crazed teenager, it crossed a line."
"It's okay," she said coming closer, gently placing her hand on my shoulder. "There were plenty of other people dancing like that."
I stood up and faced her. "Yeah plenty of couples," I fired back.
"I'm sure there are a lot of friends that dance like that as well." JJ said, hoping that it would comfort me.
"Yeah, friends also don't try to push themselves on too their obviously straight co-worker and friend." I said as I crossed my arms and looked at the floor.
"What?"
I look straight at her, her bright blue eyes full of confusion and concern. And some where in the deep recesses of my drunken mind, I thought I should tell her. " I have feelings for you, Jenifer. More than a friend should."
"Oh." That's all she actually said, but her expression and body told so much more. All concern in her eyes left leaving only confusion, she pulled her body away from me. She was obviously disgusted by this. She had no idea I was a lesbian, most of the team didn't, though I suspect Penelope and Derik suspected and were taking bets.
"Yeah, oh." I said as I turned to leave and stormed out, leaving JJ standing there confused, I assume about the entire conversation.
A/N: I hope y'all like this story. Hopefully I'll update soon no promises though. Please let me know what y'all think.
