To wake up in his lover's arms was something he'd dreamt of for so long.
Of course, it was so much better in real life, but still Spencer was happy with the fact this was actually happening. With the jet ride home on a Friday and also with Hotch injured and everyone dead on their feet it seemed like the best decision to leave all paperwork and well, work in general until Monday.
Lying as still as he could once again his mind went back to the past two weeks, he'd now grown okay with the fact their relationship was faster than probably any normal person would like, but with the job they did Spencer wasn't sure if they could be classed as normal, also reminding himself about the fact their job was dangerous and the bandages on his lover's arm proved the point that there is not always time to wait.
Still Reid regretted nothing; he had to honestly admit to himself kissing Aaron almost two weeks ago was the best thing he'd ever done, with actually joining the BAU coming in at second on the mental list he'd made.
Hearing the man wake beside him, he smiled, trying again to stay still not wanting to hurt Hotch's arm.
"Good morning..." Aaron said as he rolled over to see Spencer awake.
"Good morning." Spencer replied with a smile as he leant in to kiss the older man as if this had been normal for the longest time.
"How are you feeling?" Spencer asked their faces still inches away from each other.
"I'm feeling okay; I guess the painkillers are working." Aaron wasn't in much pain, of course, painkillers helped but his mind was too wrapped up in Reid and feeling his lips on his to care all that much.
"Good." Spencer said simply running a hand through his hair as he sat up in bed his eyes trained on Aaron as he laughed a little.
"What's so funny?" Aaron asked with a laugh of his own.
"I am just happy, happy you're okay, happy we woke up in the same bed, and well who's not happy on a weekend?" Spencer questioned, not really needing an answer.
"All the things I am pretty pleased about then." Aaron replied as he sat up himself, waiting for Spencer to tell him about a book he needed to finish, or some fact about gay partnerships but the young doctor only smiled.
"What no book you need to finish or statistic you feel I should know?" Spencer laughed at the man next to him as he shook his head.
"I have many, but right now, I just want to be Spencer, your boyfriend and not Spencer the young genius."
"Well, that's fine by me." Aaron said leaning forward, this time, it was him who kissed Spencer.
Neither man wanted anything more than to wake up like this every morning.
It had now been drilled into them, the early mornings and the minimum hours of sleep, so after having 3 cups of coffee before 9 in the morning was not something FBI agents found strange anymore.
Spencer sat on one chair reading a book whilst Aaron was watching the morning news, The President had made a speech about the war in the middle east, someone had tried to bomb the Ronald Regan Airport and the body of an elderly gentleman had been found in the River near the Arlington Memorial Bridge.
Living in Virginia the news was mainly centred around D.C and whatever was happening in the capital, still it was something to watch at 8:45 on a Saturday morning.
"Aaron, can I ask you something?" It was only a few hours later after a lot of small take and jokes did Spencer feel he could have a serious conversation, well, to be honest, it was more like he finally felt like he had the confidence.
"Of course." Aaron said from the kitchen where he was making some lemon tea for the both of them.
"It's about us." Spencer said accepting the cup Aaron passed him.
"What about us?" Aaron asked taking a seat next to him, putting his cup on the table before placing a hand on Spencer's knee.
"I just want to know where we stand where keeping it all a secret is concerned. I know we can't tell anyone, I just, I don't want you to lie to your team you've known them a long time, the team runs on trust and truth, more from you than me, of course, I don't mind telling them just as long as I can have you, but I didn't know how you felt about it, and even though Strauss seems like a nice lady I don't want anyone to lose their job and by that I mean you, because I can go back to University." Aaron stopped him by placing a kiss on his lips before laughing a little.
"You really need to calm down." Aaron said. He worried about keeping it all a secret and he knew where Spencer was coming from, but right now both of them needed to find some footing in their relationship before they told everyone.
"I understand you're worried, and trust me it has kept me awake at night, but right now, I think it is best we keep it to ourselves, not to lie or to betray trust, just until the both of us feel happy in where this could lead." Aaron said leaning in once more for a kiss.
"In where this could lead? What do you mean?" Spencer asked for once actually feeling fully confused and a little stupid.
"Well call me stupid, but over the last few days, the one thing that's kept me going is you. Thinking of you and picturing this whole other life with you, a life I so desperately want, for me and you to be together, whether it be here, or in Las Vegas, hell even if we live in the middle east, I don't care, just as long as we can be together, this life in my head we are happy, we have children, we are supportive of each other and everyone is supportive of us. I think what I mean by where this could lead is, I want us to be happy knowing that we can be together for a long time, Spence, if this isn't going to last then what's the point in telling our second family, but if you're as happy as I am to be in love forever and make something of this relationship then we can tell them."
"I want this to be something; I want this to last forever, Aaron..." Of course, Spencer knew forever was impossible but he ignored the fact, instead kissing his boss with all the passion he felt.
"I guess, for now, we have to lie, until we can find the right time to say something."
"If lying to the team means every weekend I can spend it with you, like this, and then I guess I can find a way to be alright with it." Reid said with a smile as he kissed Aaron once again, hoping everything would work out for the best, just like it seemed to have done in Aaron's mind, but who was Reid kidding, since the first kiss he'd imagined this whole other life for himself.
As if the both of them seemed to be lost in a world of their own, Aaron felt strange as certain song lyrics came to his mind, Reid had told him about it once, how emotions could trigger memories of a TV show, a song or a person, but whilst Aaron and Spencer kissed each other over and over again on the sofa in Hotch's apartment he could only think of one song.
'Stones taught me to fly,
Love taught me to lie,
Life taught me to die,
So it's not hard to fall,
When you float like a cannonball.'
So, just to point out, I don't own the song!
However it's called 'Cannonball' it's by Damien Rice, it's a very lovely song and it's also the song I was listening to when I was planning this chapter, hence the title!
Thank you so, so, so much for reading! I really hope you liked it!
Please leave a review; I would love to know what you think!
I hope you choose to read on!
Until next time!
Bethanyy.
