"Where were you last night?" JJ asked as she and Emily put away the futon.
"Out." Emily said with a smile. "I just needed to let loose."
"Really? Who was it?"
"Just some guy. He was actually kinda cool." Emily said, sitting on the couch after the replaced the cushions.
"No name?"
"Well, he told me it, but I felt no need to remember him."
JJ say next to her, leaning against the arm. "How was he?"
"My god. The best sex with a guy. His dick was like-"
"Good morning 'Walk-Of-Shame'." Elle cut in.
"More like the Stride-of-Pride!" Emily happily threw back.
"Nice." JJ whispered, smiling a little.
"Boy? I thought you liked girls?" Elle asked the brunette.
"Who said I had to choose?" Emily retorted.
"True. I'm a vagitarian myself."
"Tend to be dickphobic, too." JJ said standing up and walking to the bathroom.
"Breakfast opens in ten minutes. We need to be at the precinct in and hour."
"Okay." Emily affirmed as she went to change into her work clothes.
Elle did the same and took out her toiletries. She slid off her clothes and pulled on her shirt and jeans. Once JJ was out, the olive skinned agent went to the bathroom and began to apply her make up. She put on her foundation then eye liner, blush and finally lipstick. Emily joined her and put her makeup on as well. She smiled at herself and went out to the breakfast area with JJ. She felt JJ tug on her shirt as she was yanked into the ice room.
"You slept with someone?" JJ intently whispered.
"Yeah, of course. It's been a tough case."
"You're acting like a college girl."
"Says the woman who got back with and had sex with an ex after being apart for three years."
"At least I have the decency to follow my heart and not my vagina."
"Really? How does that work? You were with Elle, then continued on to be with me, a few kisses, then you fucked Elle and left me in the dust, came back to be with me while you carried your ex on your back. So I think you're doing exactly what I'm doing."
"You know what?! Shit. Fuck." JJ sighed and covered her face. "You're right, I need to tell Elle."
"Okay."
"Okay?"
"What do you want me to say?"
"I don't know, just not that."
Emily sighed and embraced JJ tightly. She huffed and let go, walking away to have breakfast. JJ closed her eyes and followed the older agent out. She went through the line, pulling toast, bacon, eggs, and coffee before sitting down with Derek and Emily. Elle joined ten minutes later along with Rossi. Reid was the last out after Hotch. Reid was almost deathly quiet.
"Still not an early bird?" Elle teased. Reid drank his coffee, shaking his head.
"Or a night owl either." Emily jibed, elbowing the young doctor.
JJ smiled and continued to drink her coffee, looking over at the mix of energetic and tired faces around her. She sighed as she took in the expressions of the people she considered her family. Her heart warmed up as a mix of the love and coffee made her heart beat faster. Emily looked at the blonde and smiled slightly, finishing her food. She collected the plates of her colleagues and threw them away. Slowly making her way to the hotel room, Emily grabbed some more coffee, joined by Elle and Reid. They ascended the elevator, reaching their floor and left for their rooms. Once alone, Elle looked at Emily, a dim light in her eyes.
"I see that you won." Elle whispered.
"I won?" Emily asked.
"JJ chose you."
"I don't know yet. She hasn't said anything. Though, as long as she's happy I'm happy. I don't really care who 'wins' her, even though she's not a prize to be won but a thinki-"
"Emily. Stop. We'll let her think that this was all unknown to me and let her have the autonomy of a regular person."
"What do you mean?"
"Basically, pretend this conversation didn't happen."
"Okay."
