Hi all, thank you again for all the reviews and those reading liking and favoring! here is the next one shot, again a slightly smaller one I hope you like it, let me know :)
Three: Jayje.
Synopsis: During their first time sharing a room together while on a case Emily leans her new team mate's nickname.
Rating: K.
Important Information: This is set 1 month after JJ joins the team, this is her fourth case, Reid has yet to join the team.
Emily sighed as she flopped down hard onto the hotel single bed, her go bag dumped on the floor next to it.
She was annoyed, she was in fact beyond annoyed.
She didn't know who Morgan thought he was, just because he was a guy he felt the need to be all manly and rude about things.
"Sorry about this." Jennifer said, she was stood in the small hallway that led from the door of the hotel room to the main room with the two single beds in, go bag still in hand.
"Huh?" Emily replied confused, as she turned around and sat up on the bed facing Jennifer.
Looking at her she felt bad, she had been so annoyed with the situation and with Morgan she didn't even stop to think about the younger girl and how she felt.
Looking to her now Emily could see the poor girl really didn't know what to do with herself, she was stood at the edge of the room looking completely out of place, almost nervous.
"This. You being stuck with having to share a room with me." Jennifer answered her, self-consciously pulling her jacket a little tighter around herself.
Great, Emily thought.
Now she had gone and made the newer agent feel more uncomfortable about the situation then it already needed to be.
To be honest it wasn't even that bad, it was just she was tired.
Unfortunately a tired Emily Prentiss is a grumpy Emily Prentis.
"It's just you seem really annoyed about it. Sorry I should have said no when Agent Gideon asked us." Jennifer continued.
Damn it Prentiss say something! Emily thought to herself.
She felt terrible, she knew Jennifer was shy, she had since day one.
It was partly why she had been so impressed with how the younger agent handled herself in the field, how she handled the press.
She was so confident up on the stand when dealing with the press, but talking to her one on one at times she was incredibly shy, almost painfully so.
The last thing she wanted to do was make her feel as though sharing a room with her was the worst thing in the world.
Especially when she really wanted to become friends with her.
Close friends.
"No Jennifer, I'm sorry. It's not you I'm annoyed at, I really don't mind sharing a room with you. Morgan just really annoyed me down there." Emily said with a smile, relieved when the blonde moved to the other bed and sat down placing her go bag on the bed behind her.
"With what he said about girls always having sleepovers and stuff like that?" Jennifer said as she crossed her legs on top of the bed cover facing Emily.
"Yes! He's just so Morgan. He thinks oh I'm a guy I can't share a room with my boss that's just so un cool, but you two are girls. You have girly sleep overs and braid hair and have pillow fights with your friends outside of work so you can just bunk together." Emily ranted animatedly, her voice a low tone trying to mimic speaking like Morgan.
Jennifer laughed before starting to go through her go bag to find something to sleep in.
"He was being rather sexist." She said seeing why Emily was annoyed.
"Oh he was, you wait until tomorrow. I'll get him back for that one." Emily answered confidently.
"Remind me to never annoy you." Jennifer said jokingly with a smile now more at ease.
Emily laughed as she looked over to Jennifer who was digging through her bag still, something on the blondes lap caught her eye.
"Do all your t-shirts have your initials on like that?" Emily inquired amused.
"What?" Jennifer responded, confused.
Emily pointed to a purple t-shirt the blonde had on her lap with the initials 'JJ' printed on in large bold red letters.
"Oh. This is an old sports shirt from high school. 'JJ' was my nickname from the team, I know original right?" Jennifer replied with a small laugh.
She really did find it amusing they couldn't come up with a better nickname for her other than 'JJ'.
"Jennifer 'Jayje' Jareau huh? It's not that bad. Kinda suits you." Emily said with a nod, she liked it.
"Well I prefer being called 'JJ' to Jenny, that's for sure." The blonde replied her face showing disgust when she saying 'Jenny'.
"Noted." Emily said with a smile.
She had seen Morgan call the newer agent that the other day and had watched amused as Jennifer ignored him until he called her Agent Jareau.
"Do you mind if I jump in the shower first?" Emily suddenly asked, she enjoyed talking with the new agents but was tired she just wanted to shower and then crash out.
"No go ahead." Jennifer replied with a smile.
"Won't be long." Emily declared as she got up from the bed and made her way to the bathroom grabbing her go bag as she went.
Less than ten minutes later Emily emerged from the bathroom, showered and fully changed into a grey baggy top and dark blue sleep shorts.
"Showers all yours." She said as she walked into the room and dumped her go bag on the floor near a small table.
"Jennifer?" She asked turning around wondering why that blonde had yet to move or answer her.
Looking to the single bed nearest the window Emily saw the younger agent was already passed out asleep in her old sports shirt and a pair of shorts, she hadn't even managed to cover herself with the bed cover.
Emily could feel a soft breeze blowing in from the window, she figured Jennifer liked sleeping with it open as she did.
Not wanting her to get cold in the night Emily made her way to the blonde agents bed and softly pried the bed cover from under her one leg before covering her up with it to keep her warm in the night.
"Sweet dreams, Jayje." Emily said with a small smile as she moved to turn the light off in the bathroom before getting into bed herself.
Emily had decided that would be her nickname for the blonde now too.
Jayje suited her perfectly.
