I stood in Garcia's office doorway in shock as I watch Derek kiss Garcia's cheek and tell her that he loved her. I collected myself quickly, and blurted out "Wheel's up in thirty," before slamming the door and storming away. JJ approached me with a case file and I rushed past her, only to be stopped by a strong grip on my forearm.

I spun around to come face to face with Derek. I narrowed my eyes, and resisted the urge to take a swing at him, instead yanking my arm roughly from his grasp causing him to stumble. "I have to get ready to take off, Agent Morgan."

"Aaron, we have to talk-" I took a menacing step closer to him.

"Shut your mouth, right now. It's Agent Hotchner, and I am not doing this here!" I turned away to leave, only to be stopped by him again.

"They know something is up with us, and now is the perfect time." I yanked away from him for the second time. I started walking away, glaring at the members of my team, the only one's left in the building, that had gathered to see what the commotion was about.

Strong hands gripped me again and spun me around before slamming me against the wall. "Get your hands off of me," I spat at him, grabbing at his hands. Derek slammed his forearms across my chest and grabbed my hands in one of his.

"No! You are going to fucking listen to me Aaron! Before we leave for this case, we are going to straighten shit out, the team can't keep working like this!"

"The team can't, or you can't?" Derek increased the pressure on my chest. "Or maybe Garcia doesn't like to see her love in distress. Is she the reason why you are trying to speak to me now?" I tried to make my words as spiteful as possible and it worked, because Derek moved his forearm to my neck.

"You are such an ASSHOLE Aaron Hotchner. First you rush out of my house without giving me a chance to talk to you, to give me a chance to explain, and now you are going to drag Garcia's name into this? This has nothing to do with her!"

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

"PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS AARON!" I gasped for breath and Derek moved his arm, and shoved me back into the wall when I tried to reach for him. "I don't love Garcia like that! She's like my best friend, my little sister. Not like a lover. I care about you too much to even think about being with anybody else, but no. Famous Aaron Hotchner can't pull his head out of his ass long enough to let me explain my words, he left so his emotions wouldn't show." I winced at his words, and tried to ignore the stares I was getting from the rest of the team.

"You try and make me feel like the bad guy, and it worked. I did feel like this was my fault, until today. You can't swallow your fucking pride long enough to let anybody get a damn word in edge wise. You are going to lose all of us, the same way you lost Haley."

"Derek-" Derek raised his fist, as if to hit me, but Garcia grabbed his arm and wrapped her arm around him, whispering rapidly in his ear.

"Fuck you Hotch," Derek growled as Garcia was trying to pull him toward her. "I quit." JJ came over and glared at me, grabbing one of Derek's arms while Garcia grabbed the other and they pulled him away from me, toward Garcia's office. I moved to follow them, but Emily, Reid, and Rossi stepped in my path.

"Aaron, I've known you for years, ever since you were a prosecutor, and I have never seen you fuck up as big as you have this time." Rossi commented.

"Fix it. Now." Reid muttered, his arms crossed in front of his chest. I knew how much he hated it when one of the members of our team was hurting.

"Agent Hotchner, I have grown to respect and care for you, you need to put right whatever it is that you screwed up." I pushed past Dave, and made my way toward Garcia's office, to put my life right.

For some reason when I had watched Derek walk away form me, I had felt worse than I had when Haley had walked away from me.

I knocked gently on Garcia's office door, only to hear a muffled "Go away Aaron" come from the inside. Rolling my eyes, I pushed the door open and walked in. I was shocked at what I saw. Derek was sitting in Garcia's chair, on JJ's lap, and she was rocking him as she would child, trying to calm his tears. I couldn't help the small smile that formed on my face.

"JJ, Garcia, could please excuse us for a moment. Go home and pack, I need you both with us on this case." Both women glared at me, but nodded. JJ gently shoved Derek until he stood up, and after both glaring at me again, they left.

"What do you want, now?" I grabbed Derek's arm, more gently than he had mine, and pulled him flush against my chest. His eyes shot open and I could see the pain in them.

"Shut up, Derek." I pressed my lips against his, my heart melting as he responded to the kiss. I dropped his arms and moved my arms around his back. I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder, and another on the back of my neck.

I pulled away first, breathing heavily and erratically, and pressed my forehead against Derek's. "Aaron-" I raised a hand to put a finger against the younger mans lips.

"Don't speak, just listen." I moved my finger, just long enough to press my lips briefly against Derek's again, not sure how long I would have the chance to do so. "I love you Derek. I told you that Friday night that I wanted more than a weekend. When you said that on that Monday morning… I thought you meant you didn't want to continue."

"Shut up and kiss me already." I closed my eyes happily and pressed my lips against his soft ones once more. When Derek pulled away he had almost a dream like look on his face. "I didn't mean for you take it like that Aaron. I only wanted to know if we were going to act like nothing happened while we were at work."

"I think that's pretty much shot now," I responded chuckling lightly and resting my forehead against his. He nodded his agreement, and tightened his arms around my waist. "I think it was pretty much shot to begin with." Derek nodded again, and presed a gentle kiss to my cheek.

"Profilers." He sighed, and rested his cheek against mine. I could feel his soft smile against my skin. "I'm sorry, I should have worded that better, and I shouldn't have slammed you against the wall."

I shrugged, and held him tighter against me. "I deserved it, I have been acting like an ass the past few days."

"Yeah, you have been. But I haven't been helping matter's much…"

"I don't even care anymore. Come on, let's get ready to go. We can talk more tonight at the hotel, but for now I'm just glad we are okay. I love you." I smiled and gently placed my hand on the back of Derek's neck.

"I love you too Aaron." Derek smiled at me softly, before pressing a light kiss to my lips.
