8:30 on a rainy Tuesday morning saw Agent Hotchner pacing his office, nervously awaiting the arrival of Agent Spencer Reid, although Gideon had already made it very clear he would call him Doctor, due to his knowledge and age.

Of course, Aaron knew it was wrong, strange and a manor of other things to fall in love with someone that he'd never met, and who was a considerably a lot younger than him, but for some reason, it didn't seem like the biggest deal to him.

"Hotch..." Gideon said from the doorway, Aaron had no idea how long he'd been there or how long he'd been lost in his own thoughts but either way, he was stood looking at his friend with a blank expression.

"Is everything okay?" Jason asked stepping into the office, closing the door behind him.

"Of course, wanting this day to be over, all of our cases have been passed onto another team, it should be out there, we're Alpha team for a reason." Aaron went on to say, it was partly true, he wanted to be out there, finding some awful criminal, not worrying about his own twisted feelings for someone he'd only ever seen a picture of.

"Well, the new doctor is here. Strauss is with him now." Jason said with a small nod of the head, knowing better than to push his fellow agent any further.

"Let's go meet the child genius then." Hotch said, hoping by some way his strong work personality would take over.

The elevator ride up to Erin Strauss's office was filled with quick-witted jokes about what was about to happen, but when they stepped off that elevator everything had to revolve around getting Spencer Reid 'settled' in and ready for the next call.

"Ah, Mr Reid, these will be your new bosses, SSA Aaron Hotchner and SSA Jason Gideon." Erin said when they walked in.

"Spencer Reid, how do you do." He replied shaking both their hands, lingering a little longer with Hotch.

"You'll be working with..." She never had time to finish her sentence.

"The BAU alpha team, until further notice from the director, all of this was explain to me in my meeting last week." He went on to say, both agents a little shocked he'd just interrupted their boss.

"Right, well, I shall leave you in the capable hands of Agent's Hotchner and Gideon." She said with a small smile, looking to the male agents who nodded as well.

"Ma'am, I do need to speak with you, so Aaron if you could take Dr Reid up to the bull pen, and introduce him to the team..."
"Of course, do you have your ID badge?" He asked. Spencer only gave a slight nod, seemingly avoiding his gaze.

"Ma'am." Aaron said before he made a quick exit, Spence in tow.

"Does he always intend to call me Doctor?" Spencer asked quietly, almost like a young school boy on his first day.

"Due to your age and knowledge, I think Agent Gideon believe it would be best." He said a small smile on his lips as he looked at his new agent.

Of course, a relationship would be forbidden, frowned upon and generally quite strange, but that didn't stop Hotch's mind from wondering.

"I understand this might be very strange for you, with me being so young and with FBI regulations." He said with a small laugh.

"I've read your file; you seem to be a young genius." Hotch said as the elevator came to a stop, opening the door onto the sixth floor. Spencer didn't have time to answer before Aaron spoke again, but even so he found he didn't mind, he quite liked the voice of the older man, even that alone could make him smile, but his voice and body put together, Spencer didn't have time to think how twisted it would be, before he's pictured spending time alone with his new boss. First Impressions meant a lot in a relationship of any kind, but Spencer saw no problems here. The man who would soon be his boss in everything but still he came across just like he'd pictured. He was strong, handsome, and defiantly strong willed, sounded pretty good at getting what he wanted, but still, even if this was love at first sight for Spencer, for anything to ever come of it, it needed to be love at first sight for Aaron too, and as much as Spencer tried he just couldn't see that happening.

Aaron tried not to look at his new Agent from the short distance to the bull pen, but it was all too difficult. Of course by this time Aaron had thought out many scenarios of how he wished this would go, but for once, he couldn't actually think of anything bad happening, he put it down to his imagination, being lonely, the job, but even so, he told himself over and over, he couldn't be in love.

But with that there was only one problem; he was. He was in love, with someone he's never met, someone who was younger than him, someone who would be working for him.

"This is the bull pen, and this is the team." He said walking through the glass doors, walking towards the 3 agents that had gathered.

"Agent Derek Morgan, Jennifer Jareau our Media Liaison and Penelope Garcia our Technical Analyst, I have some paperwork to do, so I will leave you all to get to know each other." This was defiantly like school Spencer thought as he smiled slightly.

"Spencer Reid, Doctor apparently." He said with a small smile, before looking around.

Aaron managed to get to his office and close the door without turning to look at how this new agent was with the team.

"Pull yourself together." The only thing was he couldn't.

God it was going to be a long day.


After what seemed like a year later, Alpha team were with their fourth case in three weeks, of course, they had a lot of cases, but it seemed to speed up when the new 'Agent' had started with the team.

"Dr Reid, do you have the latest case report?" Hotch walked over to his desk, looking round to see the bull pen empty.
"Everyone went to get coffee, and yes, I was about to bring it to your office." He said picking up on Hotch's surprise at how confident he'd grown.

Aaron nodded slightly, waiting for the younger male to hand him the brown folder that held the paperwork he needed.

"Could I ask you something?" Hotch seemed to pick up on the small anxiety that came through in Spencer's tone.

"Of course..." He replied moving to sit in one of the spare chairs.

"It's a little personal..." He said, his eyes finding the floor.

Hotch only frown a little, waiting for Spencer to carry on.

"How do you, have a relationship with anyone whilst doing this job, we're getting calls all the time, we never know how long we're going to be, I guess the only thing we can offer is protection, and that's only if we're at base." He went on to see, not looking to see Hotch's reaction.

Hotch tried his hardest not to let emotion seep through in his voice.

"Let me take you out for a drink tonight, providing we don't get called out, and I'll tell you." Well, it was a step further to finding out if his 'silly' crush would mean anything if he acted on his feelings.

"I took the subway here, so would I need to go home and meet you in a bar?" He asked, making Hotch laugh.

"Stick around and I'll take you home." He said before standing.

"Thank you, Hotch." He said, using his boss's nickname for the fifth time since he'd been with the team.

"You're welcome, Spencer." He said walking back up to his office.

A smile on his face, which happened only very rarely, either way, tonight he'd finally find out if his first impression of the younger agent were right, well, he'd been right for every member of the team so far, but this, time was different, this time, he'd let himself dream, this time he actually imagined himself happy, this time, was different.

'First Impression: First Impression is when one person meets another, and they form a mental image of the other person, first impressions are generally based on the other person's characteristics. The first impression can have an impact on how each person treats the others.
Going along with the common saying 'First Impressions mean everything.'

Aaron read the small article on the computer screen before he turned to look at Spencer Reid who was currently drinking some watered down version of alcohol.
"Is everything okay?" Spencer asked looking at him, with a small smile.

"Yeah, just reading this article..." He replied with a smile before shutting the computer down, and finally enjoying his evening.
