10. Frost - Pairing: Prentiss/Reid
"It would be our luck that we got the faulty car," Emily mumbled as she pulled her coat tighter around herself.
"Well, the odds are-"
"Spencer," Emily said, quickly cutting him off. "I love you, you know I do. Right now we're stuck on the side road of a some small town in North Dakota with no service and a blown tire."
Spencer bit his lip and ran a hand through his hair. "I'm sorry," he said as he moved over to her.
They were on their way back from interviewing a witness when they had hit a pothole or something similar and popped one of their tires. That had been a few hours ago and a snow storm had already started.
They had decided to move into the back of the SUV where there were no seats so they could stretch out. That was more comfortable for Spencer, since curling up in a car seat wasn't the best for him and his long legs, but it was also great for Emily since she could now cuddle up next to her boyfriend on a case.
"You're warm," Emily mumbled as she wrapped her arms around him, snuggling into his side as much as she could.
"Glad I can work as a space heater," Spencer said with a laugh, wrapping an arm around and holding her as tightly as possible.
"How long until you think they'll realize something's wrong?" Emily asked, laying her head on Spencer's shoulder and looking up at him.
Spencer thought it over as he rhythmically rubbed a hand up and down Emily's back. "Well," he began, "they'll try to call us for an update, seeing as it has been 5 hours since Hotch sent it out. Since we're in a no service area, they'll call Garcia and see if she will be able to triangulate our position by either the SUV's GPS or the last place we had service, which thankfully was Mr. Sorola's home."
"So, we have an hour or two?" She asked, biting her lip.
Spencer nodded and looked down at her. "Why?"
"Well, it's just you and me in this car, out here in the middle of nowhere, frost covering the windows meaning privacy-"
"Emily!" Spencer said, blushing when he figured it out, causing Emily to laugh. "We can't do that on a case!"
"You just said they won't be here for at least an hour," Emily rebutted.
"But we're-"
"On a case, I know," Emily said, rolling her eyes. "We need to find a way to keep warm, and I think if we time it perfectly, the team would never know anything different."
Spencer looked at her and sighed, giving in. "Fine, but if they do catch us, it's your fault and you'll answer all of Garcia's questions with no help from me."
Emily leaned up, capturing his mouth with hers. "Fine by me."
