Days, weeks, and several cases passed, and Emily's anxiety only grew worse with time. Emily couldn't focus, she was double checking every small space before she moved, and worst of all, she hadn't touched JJ since she and Doyle sat down and had coffee. At work, Emily barely spoke to anyone and she kept her opinions to herself. She didn't go out with the team to get dinner or drinks, and that worried everyone, even Hotch. JJ tried talking to Emily, but she would just deny that anything was wrong and change the topic of their conversation. JJ was desperate to help, but she had known Emily for a long time, and she knew that when Emily was uncomfortable, she closed up.
JJ watched Emily through the window of her office, her mind racing with reasons why Emily would be acting the way she was. She watched as Morgan approached Emily from behind and tapped her on the shoulder, causing Emily to jump. Morgan just laughed, but Emily threw her pen down in anger and slammed her file closed. She pushed her chair out violently and walked out of the bullpen, without saying anything to Derek. He instinctively knew that JJ would be watching, so her turned and looked through her window, wearing a face of real concern. JJ nodded and quickly excused herself from her office, following Emily out of the bullpen.
"Emily! Emily stop!" JJ shouted, speeding up to a jog to catch up with Emily before she got to the elevator. "Em!" JJ reached out and grabbed Emily's arm, stopping her. "Emily, baby what's wrong?" Emily turned around and gave an obviously fake chuckle, "You're gonna call me 'baby' at work?" she nervously avoided eye contact, looking around the room to make sure no one could hear them. "If you're upset, I'm not going to act like I don't love you. No matter where we are, no matter who we are with." The sarcasm faded from Emily's face, and seriousness took it's place. "Now, tell me what's wrong, Emily." Emily flicked her bangs out of her face when tears began to form in her eyes, "Um well... I think this Doyle thing just has me-" JJ tilted her head to the side, and Emily knew JJ wanted the truth. "I'm scared, Jayje." Emily whimpered. "What if he finds me? What if he goes after you? He said he would kill the team if I told anyone, and what am I doing right now? I am putting your lives in danger right now, JJ. The one thing I want to tell you everything I'm feeling, but I can't." JJ raised her hand to Emily's face and wiped the tears from her face. Emily grabbed JJ's wrist, "Don't..." Emily whispered sadly. "I don't care who sees." JJ wiped Emily's other cheek with her other hand. "God I want to help you so bad, but I understand, Emily. Do you want to have a... code or something? I don't know what I can do for you?" Emily laughed and wiped her own eyes, "You sound like a FBI agent from a movie or something. Code..." Emily shook her head with a laugh. JJ smiled because it was the first time she had heard Emily laugh in a while. "I'm serious though, Em. If you need a hug or a kiss or you want me to listen to you or distract you..." JJ shrugged, "I just really want to help." Emily flicked her bangs out of her face and tucked her hands into her pockets. JJ touched Emily's arms with the tips of her fingers, "Come with me." JJ walked off and Emily followed close behind her, both of them heading to the women's bathroom.
Emily locked the door behind her when she followed JJ in. "We talk about our problems way too often in bathrooms," Emily chuckled softly. "Ok when you look at me and say... 'coffee', that means you need a hug. When you mention... Spock, you need a kiss." Emily laughed. "And when you say 'counterclockwise,' you want some time to yourself. Does that work?" Emily looked down into JJ's eyes, "Yes. It's brilliant. Thank you, Jayje." JJ smiled back up at Emily and nodded. "But for now... Spock Spock Spock Spock Spock!" JJ laughed, "I think that was... 5 Spock's I heard? So..." JJ pushed herself onto her tiptoes and leaned in closer to Emily. She placed a soft kiss on Emily's lips, holding her place for a moment before pulling an inch away and smiling, her eyes still closed, "One." Emily sucked her lower lip into her mouth and sucked on the tase on JJ that lingered. "Breathe, Em." Emily released her lip and exhaled. JJ kissed Emily's jaw, releasing her skin with a small sucking noise, "Two." JJ then laid 2 small kisses down Emily's neck, whispering, "Three. Four." Emily shivered, "Y-You forgot five." JJ giggled, "Oh yeah." JJ kneeled down in front of Emily, lifting the bottom of her shirt to show the top of her pants. JJ licked her lips before she dragged her tongue over Emily's skin. Emily gasped, "J-Jayje!" JJ stopped and kissed her stomach, "Five," she whispered.
