1. Raindrops

As Hotch saw Reid leave the lobby of the hotel, he didn't know how to take it. Storms were rolling in and the FBI was letting them get another night at the hotel until the storms cleared. The team noticed Hotch's distraction and Rossi finished getting the renewal so that Hotch could go after their youngest team member.

Hotch found Reid at a nearby park and he asked, "You know it's going to start raining soon?"

Reid looked at his boss and said, "I know. I just like the raindrops. I feel cleaner after a rain shower."

Hotch joined him.

2. Distance

Reid measures the distance between his desk and Aaron Hotchner's office, only twenty seven steps to the door. He measures the distance between the coffee pot and his desk, forty three steps (too far in Reid's opinion). Also it was a long walk to the restrooms, a whopping fifty five steps from his desk.

At night though, the distance between he and his lover was non existent, and that got him through his night. Their bodies stayed plastered against the other after nightly passions or curled around the other keeping their lover close. Reid's mornings were better for the night.

3. Keepsake

Jack looked between his Dad and Spencer and asked, "Are you sure you want me to have this?" He was referring to a medal Spencer earned while in the line of duty saving his dad and the team.

Spencer looked at his son and said, "Yes. We've discussed this at length and it's something I can personally give to you."

Jack ran his fingers over the medal and then said, "I'll take the utmost care of this...it won't leave my sight. I...I love you Pops. Thank you." Jack pulled Spencer into a tight but gentle hug. Aaron smiled.

4. Red

Red and pink and white. Reid looked around and wanted to growl at the blatant desecration of the holiday. He made it to his desk and put his bag in his bottom drawer. He decided where he wanted to start for the day and a few minutes later, he found an envelope with his name on it, and the decorations and festivities of the day seemed moot. He read the card and he bit his lip containing his noise of pleasure.

He glanced up at Hotch's office and saw Hotch watching him. They couldn't hold their grins in any longer.

5. Knowledge

Knowledge was Reid's strength and armor against the world. Knowledge helped Hotch understand how his lover took in the world. Together they knew that things would be okay no matter what kind of darkness they encountered. Reid had Hotch's office as his sanctuary and Hotch took sanctuary in the fact that Reid sought him out.

"You know the team wants to throw us an anniversary party?"

Hotch looked up from his paperwork and said, "They're not subtle."

Spencer grinned, "But it's fun to watch them, right?"

Aaron laughed and said, "It's been a pleasure to watch them prepare all week."
