All mistakes are my own
Reid awoke in the morning to find Emily sleeping against his chest, he let out a long happy sigh before he brought his hand up and stroked his fingers over her bare shoulder. Reid loved the fact that they still one more day of the weekend left. They had originally planned to go out but plans changed and he was happy that they had. Reid thought back to all the take-out food that he had eaten alone, all the nights he had spent with no-one there with him. Reid began to despise those moments. He liked spending time with Emily, he loved her smile but what he loved the most was her strength, she was strong and he knew that he needed that. Reid heard a knock at his front door, he sighed for a moment before carefully sliding out from the bed. He gently lowered Emily's head to the pillow, he didn't want to disturb her. Reid quickly dressed himself and made his way to the front door. He was only a few steps from the door when a familiar voice spoke from the other side.
"Reid, open up," Morgan said before knocking again.
Reid immediately unlocked the door and felt himself freeze slightly at who was with Morgan. He was looking at the entire team standing outside his door. His mind immediately focusing on the fact that Emily was still in his bed.
"Hey Reid, can we come in for a moment?" Hotch asked politely.
"Um...yeah. Come into the kitchen," Reid said as he directed the team into kitchen. Morgan closed the door as he was the last one in. He took a few steps before facing Reid.
"Reid, is Emily here?" Morgan asked with a small smile on his face.
"No of course not," Reid tried to lie but his face and emotions gave him away. Morgan knew he was with Emily, he didn't want the others to know. He knew FBI agents were not supposed to date each other and he didn't want anything to ruin his relationship with Emily. Reid inwardly smiled at the word relationship He loved the meaning and the fact he was now in.
"Reid, you didn't stutter when you answered the door and your hair is messed up again. Is Emily here?" Morgan asked again.
"Yes, she is sleeping and I-I don't want Hotch to find out. I-I don't want rules at work t-to interfere with my relationship with Emily," Reid said quickly before he walked into the kitchen after being called in by Garcia. He felt Morgan follow him. Reid leaned against his kitchen side and felt the entire team's gaze on him.
"Reid, we came over to talk to you. Some of us are a little worried about you and how distant you have been for the last few weeks," Hotch explained before giving Rossi and JJ a brief look. Reid immediately knew he was referring to Rossi and JJ as being the 'some'.
"I'm fine, I-I've never been b-better," Reid said.
"Reid, you need to tell us if something is wrong. We are here for you and we can help you if you are having trouble," JJ smiled at him. Reid was about to speak when he heard footsteps approach the kitchen, seconds later Emily appeared at the doorway of the kitchen in a small top and shorts. Her eyes went wide as she found herself staring at the rest of her team. Emily quickly glanced at Reid, Reid face with a mix of fear and embarrassment.
"Morning," Emily blurted out nervously. JJ gasped as she realised what was going on.
"You and Reid," JJ smiled happily at Emily. "How long?"
"A few weeks," Reid said to help Emily, he walked over to Emily and held her hand before pulling her close to him. Emily smiled at him before turning to face the team. "I know t-that dating other members in the bureau is against rules b-but Emily makes me f-feel happy and alive again. I love h-her and if I need to leave the FBI to be with her I will."
"Reid!" Emily said in surprise as she took in Reid's words.
"Reid," Hotch spoke up, his face stoic as he walked around till he was stood in front of Reid. Hotch put his hand on Reid's shoulder before letting out a large smile. "Reid, if Emily makes you happy then I have no problem with you two being together. As long as your work stays the same and your relationship doesn't interfere with your work I have no problem. Relax Reid."
Reid and Emily both let out a breath of relief before letting out a small smile. Reid pulled Emily closer to him and kissed the top of her head. He couldn't help the small laugh that escaped from him as he heard Garcia and JJ let out a small 'awww' noise.
"You two look good together," Rossi said before letting out a small grin.
Later that night
"I can't believe they all saw me in my shorts," Emily laughed as Reid massaged her shoulders. Emily let out a long sigh of happiness as Reid continued and as they watched the movie.
'I can't believe I have you' Reid thought.
"Emily, I'm sorry that I-I got angry with you for reading my j-journal or if I scared you. I didn't mean to yell at you like that. I-I'm really sorry," Reid said nervously.
"Reid, everything is fine. I shouldn't have been reading it, I should be the one apologising. I'm sorry for reading it," Emily said before turning around, climbing onto the sofa and leaning into Reid.
Reid put his hand under his cushion pillow and pulled out his journal, his hands shook as he held it but he steadied them before holding it up in front of her.
"I bookmarked the p-page I want you to read. I want you to read it because it was done just before I went out a-and got drunk. Its about you," Reid said before handing over the journal.
"Reid, are you sure?"
"There are six pages, read them and look at them. Please."
