I really like this one, with our favourite blonde mom on the show. She's not really there, but it's all about her!
Rating: T (for safety)
Pairing: Hotch/Reid
Warning: Infidelity (kind of)
JJ/ Jealousy
Spencer had always said it. If he had married a woman, it would most definitely be JJ. Not because he was interested in her (at least, not now), but because he still deeply thought she was the perfect woman. After what had been a massive crush on her, he realised that although he wasn't… Let's say swinging this way, she was still the greatest woman he had ever met. She was kind, sweet in her own time, but she had some crunchy, some personality.
JJ was the kind of strong woman that would not only stand up for herself, but also for others. She was the one on cases that empathised the most with the victims, all the while keeping a safe distance between herself and them, therefor avoiding to be hurt.
She was the one with the humour that Spencer liked the most on the team. Always teasing, never crossing the line. Sometimes sarcastic when she was annoyed, JJ was the one Spencer always laughed with.
For Spencer, the most fantastic thing to watch her do was being a mom. With Henry, you saw the happiness in her eyes like no other times.
Morgan sometimes caught him watching her and still teased him about his crush on the blonde. And while Spencer knew it wasn't the truth, he couldn't help but smile and shrug.
"Come on, Aaron! That was a joke!", Spencer called, running after him in the parking lot.
The older man opened the door of his car and Spencer sighed.
"Aaron! JJ was just kidding, that wasn't a real kiss! She's drunk!", he pleaded.
"Have you overcome your crush on her?", the unit chief attacked.
"I beg your pardon?", Reid exclaimed, eyes wide.
"Answering a question by another question. Great start", Hotch stated.
"I… I can't believe you're asking me this seriously! This was seven years ago! She's married!", the genius protested.
"So are we", Aaron pointed out.
"I know that. Why are you… Come on. You're being stupid", Spencer said.
"Well, stupid me is going home. Genius you can find yourself a drive later on", Hotch spat out.
He left Reid there, gaping like a fish out of water as he tried but failed to find a comeback. After a moment, he only went back into the bar, where the rest of the team was. He sat back at their table and JJ looked like a kicked puppy.
"I'm really sorry", she apologised.
"Not your fault. I don't know what got into him", Reid mumbled.
The mood was down and everybody went home soon after that. Rossi drove Reid home, ignoring his protest that he could get a cab and he dropped him off.
"You'll be okay?", he wondered before the genius opened the door.
"Yeah. I really don't know what this was about", Reid frowned. "I'll see tomorrow morning."
As he got into the house, all lights were off and he hesitated between going to bed beside his husband or sleep on the couch. He decided for the first, because, hell, this was his bed too, stupid fight or not. He fell like a brick, exhausted and woke up early in the morning as Aaron still slept.
He went to the kitchen and started a fresh pot of coffee. It wasn't long before he felt two arms slide around him and he turned around.
"Calmed down enough, Mr. Hotchner?", he asked, quirking an eyebrow.
"I've had too much to drink", Hotch said, and his tone was apologetic.
"We all did. Try not to make JJ feel too bad this afternoon, ok?"
"Of course not. You were right, I was being stupid", Hotch smiled slightly.
"When am I not right?", Reid teased and earned a light slap on the bicep.
