This is my first Criminal Minds fanfiction. It is all from Reid's point of view unless stated otherwize at the start of the chapter in the A/N. Please review and be nice. I have no idea if this is good or not. I have changed Reid's personality a little bit but please forgive me. He is still his eidetic memory, geeky self :). Have fun reading.
'So our unsub is targeting homosexual men in the DC area. The victims have all had at least three pHds.'
I swallowed nervousl. Morgan glanced at me.
'So, like Reid.'
Hotch sighed. 'Yes.'
I took a sip of my water. 'So, what are we going to do?'
As everyone looked at me, I knew what it was.
'I'm bait...' Rossi nodded. 'Fine. Let's do it.'
Rossi nodded and dismissed us. I closed my eyes. As I stood up to walk to my desk, I bumped into Hotch.
'Sorry, Hotch.'
He nodded it off.
As I realized I was bait, I bit into my lip. Hotch looked like he was going to cry. I felt bad. He would never know my feelings. None of them knew I was actully gay. I clocked out and put my jacket on before grabbing my car keys. I was the last to leave the BAU office.
I pulled my jacket closer around me as I crunched my way through the snow that covered the parking lot. I always parked across the lot. I sighed as I reached my car. Unlocking it, I curled up in the driver's seat before starting the ignition. Or trying to. I slammed the wheel in frustration, accidentally setting off the horn. I tried the ignirtion a few more times before giving up. I looked out my windows and shuddered. I had never realized how creepy this place actually looked at night. Something tapped my window and I let out a small scream before realizing it was Hotch. I opened my door.
'Reid, you need a lift?'
I shook my head. I didn't trust myself around him. 'I'll walk.'
Hotch growled. 'Over my dead body. Now, come on.'
I watched him walk over to his car. His running car with hot air con. I looked at the way I had to walk. The cold and the thirty-two blocks I had to walk helped me make my mind up. I sighed and grabbed my bag. I locked my door and went to get in the back of Hotch's car.
'Reid, get in the front.'
'I would rather -'
'Front, please.'
I shut the door and slid into the passenger seat.
'Hotch, why do you care so much?'
He opened hsi mouth to answer then hesitated.
'There is a murderer on the loose and you're his ideal victim.'
He started driving and I closed my eyes, sighing at the warmth covering my body.
Hotch shook me slightly. 'We're here, Sleeping Beauty.'
I chuckled and climbed out. I went to walk off and stopped.
'Hotch, you wanna come in for a drink?'
He nodded. 'That would be great.'
I smiled and waited for him to park. I stood by my door, unlocking it as he walked up to me. As I watched him, I had a vision of him with kids running behind him, laughing. I shook my head, opened my door and walked in, flicking the lights on. I heard Hotch close the door behind him.
'This is a pretty cool place, Reid.'
I looked around my living room. The signed band photos, a few pictures of my and my younger sister and one of us all in the BAU at the Christmas party last year.
'Thanks.' I walked into the kitchen. 'What do you want?'
'A coffee would be great.'
I nodded and quickly made one, walking back into my living room to give him it.
'So, tell me.' He nodded at the band pictures. 'Who's who?'
'Black Veil Brides, Asking Alexandria, Marilyn Manson, Falling in Reverse and Alesana.' I pointed to each band as I named them.
'Amazing. Who is the girl?'
I licked my lips. 'My younger sister. She died two years ago. Mom beat her. She had a brain haemorrage.'
'I'm sorry. You two seem close in these pictures.'
'We were and it's fine.'
I moved some crime books onto the coffee table and sat down. 'Have a seat.'
He smiled and sat next to me, closer than he normally would. He picked a picture up off the floor. I glanced at it.
'I cannot believe you had this framed, Reid.'
It was a picture Morgan had taken of Hotch and I when I had first joined the BAU.
'It looked half-decent.' I looked away, blushing.
'I know a lie when I hear it, Reid. Why did you have this framed?'
'Why did you insist on driving me home?'
He watched me for a minute. 'If I tell you, promise me not to tell anyone, not even Rossi?'
'I swear, Hotch.'
He scratched the back of his head. 'You see, uh. I kind of, um.'
He sighed, then leant in and kissed me. My eyes widened and I sat, shocked. He pulled away and stood up.
'I should go.'
I shook my head. 'Hotch, I feel the same way. I was just shocked.' I stood up and pushed our lips together. His hand slid up and his fingers tangled in my hair. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling us closer. Hotch pulled away slightly, panting lightly. I put my head on his shoulder, wrapping my arms around his waist.
'Reid?'
I looked up. 'Yes?' My heart started pounding. He was going to talk about the rules and reject me lightly. I looked down so he wouldn't see the tears already pricking.
'Do you mind if I stay the night?' He pulled me closer, his arms tight around me.
I smiled. 'Of course, Hotch.'
He shivered and I realized just how cold my house was. I broke away from him and fiddled with the thermostat until I heard the boiler click on. I stretched out and turned around, finding Hotch laid on the couch. I smiled, slid my jacket, tie and shoes off before sliding on top of him. He smiled as I kissed his cheek.
'What should we do, Spencer?'
I looked at him, recognizing the smirk on his face.
'This is going to sound really stupid but I do not want to sleep with you at the moment. I don't want to rush things or someone is going to get hurt, Aaron.'
He watched me. 'Fair play. I can cope with that.'
'I know the first Saw movie is on cable. You wanna watch it?'
He shrugged. 'Sure.'
I flicked the tele on and cuddled up to him.
'We need to be careful at work, you know not to call each other by first names.'
I nodded and turned my attention to the tele.
When the movie finished, Aaron yawned. I turned the tele off before standing up. He stood as well and I took his hand, leading him to my bedroom, turning the lights off as we went. I stripped off and slid under my covers. The light flicked off and I cuddled up to Aaron as he lay next to me. I lay on his chest, feeling happy before we fell asleep in each other's arms.
OK I guess it is a bit corny.
Review or Reid gets kidnapped again... :)
