A/N: So I am now stuck on this two day late pattern and will hopefully be able to make up my time this weekend. I could really use a couple more tips from anyone who can think of romantic clichés for Garcia to use on the team! I have another six days for Garcia to pull pranks and I am down to only two solid ideas of what she will do.

Not mine.

February 7

Hotch walked out of the elevator trying to suppress a smile as the team looked around for Reid when the younger man wasn't beside their Unit Chief, "Hey man, where is Reid this morning?" Hotch motioned towards the elevator in response to Morgan's question and they all watched and waited. Having seen that Hotch made it out without being mauled by an overly energetic Garcia Reid finally darted from the elevator and straight to his desk where he slumped in his seat and tried his best to look like he couldn't care less that everyone was watching him.

He read over his files for a few minutes before looking up to turn on his computer and realizing that everyone was still watching him. "Why are you all still staring at me? I'm sure others of you were hesitant to leave the elevator upon arrival this morning." Everyone shook their heads in the negative telling him that they hadn't been nervous about coming in, "Well then I will have no sympathy for any of you when Garcia catches you off guard." Everyone laughed lightly at Reid's declaration, the tension in his body made it obvious to everyone that Garcia's pranks were causing him stress.

Hotch noted the tension in Reid's body with some worry and put his hand on Reid's shoulder as if in reassurance and rubbed the tense muscles in the back of that shoulder with his thumb causing Reid to relax slightly. Reid reached forward no longer caring that everyone was watching him and he turned on his computer. What he hadn't been expecting from turning on his computer was that the song 'White and Nerdy' would start playing at max volume from his speakers. He quickly started trying to do everything that he could think of to try and make it stop including hitting the mute on his speakers but nothing was working. He finally gave up and slumped back again, flushed and embarrassed but determined to stick it out this time.

When the song was done Morgan and Prentiss were holding each other up through their laughter and even Rossi was outright laughing at Reid. JJ was holding his hand gently and giving him a sympathetic look before looking apprehensively at her own computer and Hotch was just standing there staring off towards Garcia's office and wondering if he was going to live through the week ahead of them. When Reid realized that Hotch had actually asked Garcia to create mayhem it would probably take days to get his lover to really forgive him. Then Hotch thought about next Monday and the concern melted away, there was no way that Reid would stay mad at him.

The team quickly drifted away from Reid's desk knowing that would make the boy feel a little bit better since he would no longer be the center of attention. Reid actually smiled when the others apprehensively turned on their computers one by one and nothing happened, the thought of them being tense and waiting for their moment to come through the workday actually cheered him up quite a bit. After about half an hour Garcia skipped out of her own office and smiled brilliantly at Reid before kissing him on the forehead and then moving to settle by Morgan's desk. She leaned over his shoulder and typed quickly into his keyboard for a few moments pretending not to notice how tense Morgan was.

Moments after she finished typing Hotch, Rossi, and JJ all came out of their own offices. Garcia smiled brilliantly around the group, "So as you all probably noticed when my baby turned on his computer today will be songs that remind me of you!" Reid shook his head again at the thought of the song that had played from his computer, he realized that it was probably a good thing that he had gone first or his would be more fresh on people's minds and the teasing would last a lot longer and now he could also sit back and snigger when the others were hit.

"You spammed our computer screens with messages to get out here just to tell us what we had already figured out?" Garcia glared at Hotch for that question then bounced on her toes in excitement before reaching forward and hitting another button on Morgan's computer causing the song 'I'm too sexy' to start blaring from his own speakers and the man looked at her incredulously while everyone else burst out laughing. Morgan shook his head at Garcia's antics and chose to play along, getting up and singing along with the lyrics while 'walking down the catwalk' causing Garcia to clap delightedly and Rossi to pretend to be sick. Morgan stopped dancing and scowled at Rossi causing the other's to laugh harder, Morgan gave up and slumped into his chair waiting for the song to be over.

Once the song had ended it took another few minutes for everyone to collect themselves and stop laughing every time they glanced at Morgan. Prentiss drifted away first and opened an e-mail from Strauss wondering if the woman was planning on playing more political games and thinking of her own reason to get out of it. Everyone but Garcia was surprised when Prentiss was hit so soon after Morgan had been but there was no question as to it being a prank when the song 'Killer Queen' started playing from Prentiss's computer.

Prentiss was the first to burst out laughing at Garcia's song choice for her and chuckles were drawn from the others as they realized how fitting that song could be for her, "Garcia I can't believe that you hacked into Strauss's e-mail!" Prentiss's exclamation brought questioning looks from everyone else and she explained to them that opening an e-mail from Strauss had triggered her computer to play the song. Garcia responded to Prentiss with a smile, "I didn't actually hack her e-mail. I just made the computer think that it was coming from Strauss and not me. I wouldn't want to read the mail she gets or sends out." The revolted expression on Garcia's face clearly showed her opinion of Strauss and brought more chuckles from the team.

A couple hours later everyone was working normally in their offices or at their desks when Garcia's voice rang out through the busy bullpen calling Reid's name, "Where is my baby? I want to take you out to lunch!" Reid turned wide eyes on Morgan causing the bigger man to chuckle, "Hey Pretty Boy, want to do lunch?" Reid nodded frantically and grabbed his coat off of the back of his chair before darting towards the stairs to Hotch's office. Hotch walked out just as Reid reached the bottom having heard Garcia's call and both Rossi and JJ were sticking their heads out of their own doors.

"Hey, Morgan and I are going to catch lunch." Reid's voice was high with his excitement to get out of the building and whatever Garcia had planned for him and Hotch couldn't help but smile as he nodded his agreement to that. Reid rushed back over to the elevator that Morgan had already called up. "Alright I'm ready, time to go." Morgan laughed and ruffled Reid's hair just as the doors to the elevator closed.

Garcia waltzed into the bullpen just as the doors closed with a bright smile, "Ready to go Hotch?" The man nodded and quickly retreated into his office to get his own jacket and the others watched with indulgent smiles as the two called for the elevator to pick them up after it had dropped Reid and Morgan off downstairs. They were chatting while they waited for the elevator to appear and were slightly surprised when Strauss walked out of it when it arrived at their floor. The woman nodded to the two agents and they said her name respectfully before getting into the elevator themselves.

Strauss watched as the doors closed then looked at the remaining agent in the bullpen and towards the two offices that housed the other two, she had run into Reid and Morgan when the elevator stopped to pick her up and let them off and had been surprised to see them leaving for lunch so early. "Agent Prentiss, may I speak with you?" Prentiss looked up at her and with a sigh stood to follow Strauss back out of the bullpen and towards the woman's own office.

Once they were settled into the seats in Strauss's office she looked sternly at Prentiss, "Emily I would like to know what is going on within your team." Prentiss shook her head with a weary expression, "I don't know how many times I have told you that I do not enjoy playing the same political games that my mother does." Strauss continued staring at Prentiss hoping to pressure her into saying something. Prentiss merely thought that Strauss should learn a new tactic since she was trying to get things out of a team that answered to Hotch and he was much more intimidating when he did that.

"Our team works closely with one another and you question the bonds that we have formed without having any understanding of them. We face some of the most painful things that can happen to a person and we support each other through the trials that come from dealing with the horrors of our job on a daily basis. You don't go out into the field and experience the things we do so you have never had to find someone that understands the things you have seen. There aren't many out there that understand what we do and what we are constantly exposed to so yes, we are closer than your average coworkers and that is what helps us to keep our sanity in this job." Strauss sighed in resignation, she hated that each of them had said the same thing in their own words so far and she was not getting anything beyond that.

"Are the bonds on your team deeper between any specific people?" Prentiss glared lightly at her for that question before she answered with a forced polite tone, "Morgan and Garcia have a special way of interacting and they are closer with each other more openly but really the entire team has bonds like that. We do form closer bonds with some people than others though. Everyone is really close with Garcia, she does think of us as her 'babies' and worries about us all when we are out in the field. JJ makes sure to take care of us all equally but she is closer with Hotch and Reid than she is with the rest of us. Rossi is closer with Hotch and me then the others, Hotch he was friends with before he came back and him and I was still rather new to the team so it was easier for Rossi and me to interact freely. In all we have formed special bonds but overall we all care about the team as a whole and any one of us that has a problem effects the rest."

Strauss was silent for a few minutes as she considered these details, Prentiss didn't normally speak that much and there was obvious passion towards her team to draw out such an extended response. "So the fact that agent Hotchner could be struggling with the coming holiday would have an impact on all of your work?" Prentiss huffed under her breath as she shook her head, "I don't believe that you are getting the picture here ma'am. Yes, the challenges that we go through effect us as a whole in how we work together out on the field but we normally try to get each other to open up about things going on so that we can prevent any negative effects in the field. It takes the close relationships like ours to deal with that effectively. Garcia's actions as of late are a good example; she is working to keep us all cheerful coming up on the holiday. If you didn't notice there is not much time for any of us to have any sort of outside relationships."

Strauss waved her hand towards the door, "That will be all Agent Prentiss." With a nod Prentiss left the room and made her way back to the bullpen in no mood to do paperwork anymore. She glanced at her desk for a moment before heading up to JJ's office instead and knocking on the door. When JJ called out for her to enter Prentiss walked in and slid into a chair across the desk from the blonde woman, "Hey JJ, want any help sorting through cases?" JJ took a moment to study Prentiss before smiling brilliantly at her glad for the help, "I'm guessing Strauss decided it was your turn to be 'interviewed'?" Prentiss nodded with an eye roll and JJ cracked up.

Reid and Morgan walked into the bullpen after lunch and noticed the emptiness of it, "I wonder where everyone is. Think Garcia has something else up her sleeve for today?" Morgan's question caused Reid to look around warily once more for anyone from their team and the others that used the bullpen were watching the two agents closely, and were obviously wondering themselves if anything would happen to them. The two walked cautiously to their desks and resumed the paperwork they had been doing before they left for lunch. It was not too long before Prentiss left JJ's office with laughter drifting out of the room behind her.

"Hey Prentiss, where did Hotch and Garcia get to?" Prentiss laughed and sat on the corner of Morgan's desk, "Hotch decided to go out with Garcia for lunch so she didn't chase the two of you down to steal Reid out for lunch with her." This brought laughter from Morgan and Reid looked pitifully towards Hotch's office door, "You hear that Pretty Boy? Hotch sacrificed himself for you!" Reid looked over in time to see Morgan wink with that statement and rolled his eyes, "Really Morgan? I am telling Garcia that you consider Hotch going out to lunch with her a sacrifice." Morgan glared, "You wouldn't." Reid laughed and said nothing else before he went back to his paperwork and Prentiss responded instead, "I think that he will." Morgan looked warily around just knowing that Hotch and Garcia would return soon now that his ass was on the line.

Rossi and JJ came down wondering at the laughter and the elevator opened a few moments later to reveal Hotch and Garcia walking out chatting away happily, well Garcia was chatting at Hotch and he was occasionally nodding his agreement or making a brief statement in response to her. "Hey Garcia!" The two looked up with surprise that Reid seemed so eager to see Garcia after running earlier, "When Prentiss told us that Hotch went out to lunch with you so that you couldn't come chasing after me Morgan said that Hotch was sacrificing himself for me." Garcia glared at Morgan and he started backing away.

"He doesn't mean that Baby Girl!" Morgan had at this point backed up to the edge of his desk and could move no further away from her. "Oh, and what exactly does he mean Derek Morgan?" She was standing less than half a foot from him and leaning forward threateningly. Everyone else was watching intently until Rossi said "This is going to be good." Which caused the song 'Dead or Alive' to start playing from his phone and everyone looked around at him with bright smiles. Garcia took the time to glare once more at Morgan, "We will talk about this later." Then she skipped over to Rossi who was chuckling as he stared at his phone.

"How on earth did you get his phone to play that Garcia?" The technical analyst smiled brilliantly at JJ for a moment before turning her smile over to Reid, "I had my baby use some sleight of hand to borrow Rossi's phone for me and return it without him knowing." Everyone looked at Reid and he glared at Garcia for a moment before shrugging sheepishly but not admitting to anything. The song was still playing in the background and Morgan mentioned going to a Bon Jovi concert back when he was in high school which sent the group into a conversation about music back in the days of their youth.

"Hey guys do you mind coming up to my office to check out a couple of cases with me? I want to see which one you guys think we should head out for once our time off of field work ends." Everyone nodded and followed JJ up to her office where she started outlining two cases that they needed to choose between which her and Prentiss had been unable to decide on during their lunch together. Just as the discussion was about to turn to the pros and cons of going to either location first JJ's phone began to play a song much like Rossi's had earlier.

Reid was the first aside from Garcia to recognize that it was the song 'Popular' from the play Wicked that was playing from JJ's phone and smiled when he thought about how that song fit her well, for the most part. JJ just stared at her phone incomprehensively, "Reid when did you steal my phone?" Reid smiled secretively and JJ shook her head and smiled when she actually began listening to the song. She had heard it before but it seemed a lot more hilarious when thought of in relation to her job.

It was not long before they had decided on one of the cases and the team went back to their individual desks or offices to finish their work for the day. Reid when he was done with his paper work took some from Morgan and Prentiss for something to do until Hotch was done. He finished with the ones that he had grabbed from them when they were both down to their last few so he went up to Hotch's office to see how long it would be until the man was ready to go.

"Hey Hotch." Reid leaned around the open doorway and looked into the office, "How long until you are ready to go?" Hotch looked up at him and then over to his stack of paperwork that was left, "I think I can leave now, but come in for a moment and close the door." Reid did as was bid and stepped up to Hotch's desk, "How did Garcia convince you to help her out by grabbing our phones?" Reid smiled slightly with a bright blush covering his face and turned to head back to the door, "I'll be ready by time you are done."

Hotch left his office about ten minutes after Reid had come by and just as he was walking down the stairs the 'Imperial March' began playing. Hotch froze and looked around, the sound was not coming from the phone in his pocket that he had turned off in hopes of avoiding this. Then he spotted it, Garcia was sitting on Reid's desk and had a portable stereo in her lap. Reid was giggling at the situation and Hotch knew it probably had more to do with Garcia playing the Imperial March for him than anything else. He approached the desk with as much dignity as he could muster in the situation and held a hand out to Reid to help him out of his chair. "Ready to go?" Reid nodded and pulled his jacket on before saying goodbye to Garcia and Hotch was tempted to just pull the boy over to the elevator rather than waiting for him to go his own pace. The two left with the laughter of their teammates echoing behind them.

Hotch and Reid got a quick bite to eat on their way home since they didn't feel like cooking that evening and when they got there Hotch pushed Reid towards the bedroom. "Go and lie down on your stomach, I will be in momentarily." Reid flushed and walked away to do as he was told while Hotch smiled after him and headed into the kitchen where he put on a kettle of water and pulled out a couple of tea packs with relaxing flavors.

When Hotch had finished making the tea he went to the bedroom and put a cup down on Reid's nightstand while he put the other on his own and then he reached into the pocket of his pants and retrieved a small bottle of massage lotion he had bought when he was out for lunch with Garcia. He placed the lotion on the bed beside Reid and quickly stripped out of his clothes before straddling Reid's hips and pouring some of the lotion onto his young lover's back.

Reid let out a sigh when Hotch's hands started rubbing the lotion into his stiff muscles and he let his head rest on his arms facing to the side. He could feel his muscles bunching together as Hotch's fingers dug into them and his body slowly relaxed. The warm scent of cloves filled his nose as he inhaled relaxing him further and causing him to take another few deep breaths. Hotch smiled at that and finished rubbing the tension out of Reid's back before moving off of his lover. "You should drink your tea while it is still hot."

Reid reached out for the cup Hotch had brought him and they spent a few moments simply enjoying their tea while the lotion continued being absorbed into Reid's back and his muscles relaxed further, "What kind of massage lotion is this?" Hotch looked at the bottle, "I am not entirely sure, Garcia suggested it and we stopped to grab it while we were out to lunch today." Reid nodded and stretched his arms backward popping his spine in the process causing him to groan and sink backwards into his pillows. It took only a few more moments to finish his tea and Hotch took both of their cups to the kitchen before returning to the room and straddling Reid's thighs this time.

Reid felt like he was going to melt when Hotch started massaging his chest and abdomen with firm strokes. Hotch smiled as Reid made cute sounds of contentment, his smile morphed into a smirk though as he moved down to massage Reid's thighs and chuckled when the boy shifted as Hotch's breath caressed his awakening arousal. After breathing over Reid's cock lightly Hotch continued rubbing the tension out of the muscles in Reid's legs before running his hands back up underneath them, "Turn over again Spencer, I need to get the backs of your legs."

Reid whimpered with desire as he rolled onto his stomach and he let out a breathy whine as Hotch started in on his feet and slowly worked his way up Reid's long legs. "Please Aaron, need you." Hotch chuckled darkly and ran his hands over Reid's bottom, kneading the flesh there the same as he had massaged the rest of the boy's body. This drew a strangled moan from Reid as he tried to push back against Hotch's hands; he was in desperate need of his older lover now and had no patience left.

Hotch smirked at the cascade of erotic sounds coming from his little lover and he slid one of his fingers still slick from the lotion into the boy's entrance drawing a keening cry from the form beneath him. Hotch licked a path slowly up Reid's spine as he pumped his finger in and out of the tight ring of muscles before adding another. He reached Reid's neck just as he slipped a third finger into his agent's body stretching him thoroughly. "Tell me what you want Spencer." Hotch felt the shiver that travelled down Reid's body and he loved the power it gave him.

When Reid didn't answer quickly enough Hotch bit down right behind his ear causing Reid to let out a breathy cry, "Please Aaron, need you inside of me." Hotch hummed against Reid's neck as his tongue soothed the skin he had just bitten, "How do you want it Kitten?" Hotch emphasized the pet name Garcia had used for Reid the day before with a firm stroke of his fingers against Reid's prostate and enjoyed the dark blush that burned against Reid's skin at the use of the pet name.

Reid pushed back against Hotch's fingers as they moved within him and his answer came out along with gasping sobs of desperation, "Forceful, intense, passionate, just you Aaron. I want to feel you and every part of you." Hotch was amazed at that answer, it was completely unexpected but he did nuzzle the back of Reid's neck as he withdrew his fingers and quickly replaced them with his aching erection. "Please Aaron, want you." With that Hotch pushed into Reid in one fluid and forceful thrust causing the boy to scream with passion.

Hotch quickly set a firm rhythm and angled his thrusts to perfectly align with Reid's prostate. He gripped Reid's hips firmly and pulled the boy back into the hard thrusts. Reid's mouth was moving in silent pleas for more that he had no more breath to give voice to. Hotch leaned back onto his knees and pulled Reid up with him, thrusting up into the warmth of his lover while pulling the boy down into each one forcefully. "Touch yourself Spencer." Reid whimpered and let his head fall back against Hotch's shoulder as he ran his hands up the insides of his thighs and over his hips. He traced up his own stomach and pulled gently on a nipple with one hand while the other feathered light caresses over his abdomen.

Reid whimpered as Hotch began kissing along his jaw and allowed the hand that was tracing his abdomen to drift down to his own arousal taking it in a firm grip with a hiss of pleasure. "Mmmmnn Aaron." His moan of his lover's name was rewarded with Hotch changing the kisses at his jaw to sharp nips that shot sensation through his body almost continuously. "So close Aaron, just a little more." Hotch growled low in his ear, "Now Spencer." Hotch thrust harder into him and his fingernails dug further into the flesh of Reid's hips while Hotch's tongue laved the shell of his ear and the mixture of feelings flowing through him along with the growled command had Reid's passion exploding from him and he pushed weakly back into the continuing thrusts as he came hard.

Hotch pushed Reid back onto his knees and the boy's torso collapsed onto the bed beneath him. With a few more thrusts Hotch shot his seed deep into Reid's hot core and pressed his weight down on his lover grinding against him lightly as he drifted in the high of his own release causing Reid to whimper pitifully from overstimulation. When Hotch could finally breath correctly again he shifted to move off his younger lover only to have Reid grab the arms wrapped around him firmly. "Please, stay there Aaron." Hotch smiled against the back of Reid's neck and kissed it lightly, "Anything you want Spencer." With a sigh Reid relaxed completely beneath him and tilted his head slightly to receive the gentle kiss that Hotch gave him, reaching out with his tongue and tracing Hotch's lips lightly. "I love you Aaron." Hotch kissed him once more softly, "You soothe my soul Spencer."
