"Rossi knows about us, doesn't he?", Reid asked Hotch once they were alone in his office.
"How do you figure?", Hotch said and rubbed at the chocolate smeared around Reid's mouth with his thumb.
"Aaron, he grabbed my face and kissed my cheeks"
"So? He's Italian", Aaron laughed and licked the chocolate from his thumb.
"He mumbled something about me being his favorite brother-in-law and as I'm not related to any of his ex-wives I sincerely think he referred to the other meaning of the word"
"Well, he hasn't said anything to me but I guess it's not too surprising that he found out. He does know me pretty well after all"
"If he knows, the others do too or will soon so we can stop being so secretive about it, right? I hate finding excuses for why you would like to talk to me in your office"
Hotch frowned. "We planned this, why would Emily ask you for the reason I wanted to see you?"
"She didn't but the justifications blurt out automatically these days"
"What did you tell her?"
"That you probably want to talk to me why I've been acting a little weird lately."
Aaron took Spencer's chin in his hand and pulled it toward him so he could kiss his partner.
"I'm okay now", Spencer said and brushed through the older man's hair.
"So, you decided to tell them about your birthday at last", Aaron changed the topic and moved to clean up his desk.
"Emily found out over the course of a conversation"
"It felt weird pretending to have forgotten about it as well when she called me", Hotch said and set down the pile of paper plates. "You're right, we should stop being secretive. We should tell them"
Spencer smiled. "I'd like that. But not now, I've gotten enough attention for one day"
"And you're about to get even more when we get home"
Spencer's smile turn into a wide grin and he walked backwards out of the office all the while grinning at Aaron.
