"It isn't possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal."
― E.M. Forster
Emily woke up groggily that next morning before turning to face JJ who was still half asleep. Emily leaned forward and gently brushed her fingers over JJ's cheek, her thumb caressing it as she moved.
''I could wake up like this every day'' Emily smiled as she pulled the blanket a little more over her naked body. ''you can'' replied JJ softly as a small smile formed on her face. ''I love you'' Emily laughed, it still felt weird saying it but the feeling she got last night when JJ said it back was something she wanted to feel everyday ''I love you too'' JJ smiled.
''Are you feeling better?'' JJ asked as she inched closer slightly, ''yes actually'' nodded Emily earnestly, ''it felt good to let something out'' she added softly. ''I'm proud of you'' JJ whispered before leaning in to kiss Emily, Emily instantly pulled JJ closer to her, their naked bodies touching as they did.
''We really need to shower or Hotch has a reason to kick us of the team'' murmured Emily as she let go of JJ a little. ''mmh. He won't'' JJ smirked, but she pushed the blanket away never the less.
Emily reached for her bathrobe and put it on before watching JJ do the same. Her long blonde hair sat in a messy bun on top of her head as she followed Emily towards the bathroom.
''Showering together always sounds like a good plan until you're actually doing it'' chuckled JJ as they squeezed together under the shower. ''I don't mind being this close with you'' smirked Emily, ''but sometimes a girl just wants to wash her hair'' JJ replied with a chuckle.
''Turn around, I'll wash it for you'' Emily smiled as she reached for the shampoo bottle on the shelf, ''oh? I could get used to this'' JJ laughed as she leaned her head back a little. Emily moved her hands down JJ's body with the soap once JJ's blonde hair was filled with shampoo.
''Ouch'' yelped Emily when her arm hit the wall, JJ started laughing but yelped out in pain when her shoulder hit the wall. ''See? Better in theory'' chuckled JJ as she turned Emily around to wash Emily's hair.
They got out of the shower and got dressed a few minutes later. Emily held scissors up to her face as JJ was applying mascara ''let me do it'' chuckled JJ once she had finished doing her makeup.
''These stupid bangs grow like weeds'' groaned Emily as she pulled on them slightly, the scissors still near her face. ''Give me the scissors'' chuckled JJ, ''or else you'll stab an eye out''.
Emily handed JJ the scissors and waited politely with her eyes closed as JJ carefully cut Emily's bangs so that she was able to see again. ''See? Much better and faster'' smiled JJ satisfied after a few minutes.
''Thank you'' Emily gruffly muttered before leaning in to kiss JJ again, ''hmm, that's what I thought'' laughed JJ before making her way towards the kitchen. ''You want coffee?'' JJ called from the kitchen as Emily started on her makeup ''do you even need to ask me that?'' Emily retorted.
Emily appeared next to JJ ten minutes later, taking the coffee from JJ gratefully. ''How long until we have to leave?'' sighed Emily as she sipped from her coffee, leaned against the kitchen counter. ''If we leave in ten minutes, we'll be right on time'' JJ pointed out as she wrapped her hands around her coffee mug.
''I wish we could stay in bed all day'' smiled Emily her eyes resting on JJ's face as she did, ''being at work and not being able to kiss you sucks'' she added. ''We've been kissing in secret at work for years'' JJ pointed out.
''Yes, but now that they officially know that we're dating it'll be way more noticeable when we sneak off'' Emily replied with a sigh before finishing up her cup of coffee. ''You could help me get a file from my old office'' JJ smirked as she placed her hand on Emily's lower arm.
'Oh, really agent Jareau?'' Emily smirked as she leaned forward, pushing her entire body up against JJ. ''Agent Prentiss, what are you doing?'' JJ laughed as Emily's hand moved through her blonde hair.
''Just looking for a file agent Jareau'' Emily whispered in JJ's ear before placing soft kisses on JJ's neck, ''mmh, agent Prentiss I don't think the file is there'' JJ laughed. ''Is it here, agent Jareau?'' Emily asked as she moved her hand to JJ's belt. ''Guess, you'll have to find out…'' chuckled JJ
''…later, because we really need to get going'' she exclaimed in addition, her cheeks flushed a bright red. Emily, whose cheeks were equally flushed stepped back in defeat. Both women made their way out the door a few minutes later, go bags and jackets in their hands.
They arrived at the office thirty minutes later, only a few minutes before the briefing was supposed to start. ''you ladies are cutting it close'' Rossi pointed out when he noticed the two women hurry into the bullpen.
''busy morning?'' Morgan asked as he appeared next to them, holding a cup of coffee, a smirk plastered on his face. Emily gently stomped him with her fist before dropping her go bag at her desk.
The entire team made their way over towards the roundtable where Hotch and Garcia were already seated. Rossi took a seat next to Hotch and asked him something about Jack, giving Morgan the opportunity to lean forward, meeting JJ and Emily's eyes as he did.
''You've got a little something'' he smirked as he eyed JJ's neck, his finger pointing at the mark in her neck. Emily turned a little to look at what Morgan was looking at before laughing slightly ''I'm so sorry'' she sheepishly said. ''Sure you are'' groaned JJ frustrated before pushing the collar of her blouse up a little.
''Eyes on me furry friends'' smiled Garcia once she reached for the remote to start the briefing. Emily, Derek and JJ all turned to look at Garcia, but not before Emily cast another apologetic glance into JJ's direction.
''Two teenage girls have been murdered, Alissa Kershaw and Minnie Jenkins were both found dead behind their school'' Garcia started as she showed pictures of the crime scene, ''any surveillance videos?'' Morgan asked as he swiftly read through the file ''nope, nada. The surveillance cameras were out of order''.
''Did all of the students and faculty know it was out of order?'' Emily asked, ''Yes, most of them did'' nodded Hotch. ''What was the COD?'' JJ chimed in, ''they were stabbed to death'' Garcia said before she shuddered slightly.
''Prentiss, Reid and JJ. I want you three to go to the school and talk to faculty and students who knew Alissa and Minnie. Morgan, Rossi and I will set up at the station'' Hotch said before closing the file in front of him ''wheels up in 30''.
Emily made her way over to JJ once the rest of the team had left the room, Emily gently caressed her hand along the love bite in JJ's neck. Her body was still heated from the interrupted moment they had shared before work thus the feeling of JJ's neck under her fingers made her flush slightly.
''Agent Prentiss, what are you doing?'' JJ smirked as she leaned back against the roundtable slightly, her eyes darting towards the door every few seconds. ''Nothing I haven't done before Agent Jareau'' whispered Emily in JJ's ear, her lip caressing JJ's ear as she said it.
Emily could feel JJ shudder under her touch, meaning the blonde was just as worked up as she was ''we have 25 more minutes. We can make that work'' JJ whispered as her hand moved to the hem of Emily's blouse.
''Bathroom'' Emily managed to mutter before JJ practically dragged her out of the room. JJ's crashed into the wall a few seconds later once Emily had locked the bathroom door, her hands immediately wandering over JJ's body as JJ sought revenge by leaving a love bite in Emily's neck.
Emily's had unbuttoned JJ's blouse in an instant, her hands exploring the white bra JJ was wearing before her hands moved lower, to the hem of her jeans. She looked in JJ's direction one more time to make sure this was okay before unbuttoning her jeans.
Her hand moved into JJ's jeans and she smiled when the blonde pushed her head back as a soft moan escaped her lips. ''Ssst. Or we'll get fired'' chuckled Emily as she placed her lips on JJ's ''it would be worth it'' JJ dryly replied.
''Mmhh'' laughed Emily, ''I love you''.
''I love you too'' JJ relied, before another moan escaped her lips ''I love you so much''.
