CHAPTER 7
" What now?"
Hotch watched as Spencer walked into his office. This could only mean one of two things: either Spencer was checking to see how things had gone with Hotch and Derek or he had finally come to get Hotch to apologize to him. Either way, this could be a bad thing. Spencer shut the door behind him and then turned to Hotch.
" If you were in love with Derek, you could have just said so instead of verbally taking my head off on the jet."
Hotch stayed silent and let Spencer talk.
" I seriously thought that you were better than that Hotch, but apparently I was wrong. You acted as though my feelings towards another man were wrong and it turns out, you loved a man as well. I cannot believe you did that Hotch. You made me feel weak and meaningless. Like I was the scum of the earth. I would never have done that to you or anyone. I demand an apology."
Hotch raised an eyebrow. Had Reid just verbally taken his head off? Of course he did. Hotch lowered his head for the first time in his life.
" I'm sorry Reid."
Spencer's eyes widened. He shook his head a couple times.
" What did you say?"
Hotch lifted his head so that he was looking directly at Spencer.
" I'm sorry."
Spencer smiled.
" Thank you Hotch. I hope you are as happy with Derek as I am with Dave."
Hotch nodded. Then, to Spencer's shock, Hotch approached him and hugged him.
" Thank you for loving me. I'm glad you found Dave and that I found my lost love for Derek," Hotch whispered into Spencer's ear.
Spencer smiled.
" You're Welcome."
