Summary: An AU take on the conversation between Sean and Aaron and no official bad blood between them.
Sean Hotchner, Aaron Hotchner's brother, made it up to the BAU offices and crossed the bullpen while taking in the group gathered around a young man's desk watching him set up film canisters. On his way up the stairs he saw his brother looking out his office window and at the young man's desk. Sean smirked as he thought if only Aaron's team knew his brother. He walked into the office and shut the door.
"Which one has your attention?"
Aaron turned to his brother and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Please Aaron. You've got hawk eyes for one of them."
"I do not. Now why are you here?"
"Not till you answer my question. Which one?"
Aaron took in his brother's serious yet amused stance and knew that he wasn't getting anywhere until he made his confession, "Dr. Spencer Reid."
"The geeky guy making rockets."
"Yes him and he's not geeky."
Sean chuckled and said, "Nope not geeky at all but he's gotten under your skin and you're too scared to make a move."
"I'm not scared. I'm his boss."
"So what? He'll still respect you in the morning. You wait too much longer and a fine, young, blond could take up with him and then you'll have lost out."
"He's not much of a dater. He'd rather read or debate topics."
"Two things you're well versed in."
"Fine. Now why are you here? You never just pop in for a visit."
"I wanted to let you know that I'm dropping out of Georgetown and moving to New York to work under a really great chef to learn the business."
Aaron straightened up and faced his brother. He said, "You're going to ruin your education just follow a fancy? Hell I don't care that you want to be a chef but why can't you at least finish this semester and take the bar so you can have a backup plan if cooking falls through."
Sean thought it over and said, "Only if you make a move a on your crush and try to take him on one date to see if he'll allow more."
"How much time do I have seeing as we do have a busy work schedule?"
"One month. You've got to have some free time eventually. I'll stay in school and you have to send me proof of your date."
"I'll try."
"I'm sure you will. One month." Sean snickered as he opened the door to leave.
Aaron stepped out of his office and called after his brother, "Don't let me hear from the Dean saying you dropped out."
"You won't if you stick to your end of deal." Sean said as he turned to face Aaron.
Aaron glanced at his team still around Spencer's desk and said, "Deal."
"That's a good decision Aaron. See you soon brother."
"Bye Sean." Aaron said as he crossed his arms and rubbed his forehead with his thumb and forefinger before he headed back up to his office.
