This is just a small thing that started weirdly in my head and ended quite weirdly too. I don't know, man!
Rating: K+ (except there's mention of casino and all)
Pairing: Hotch/Reid
Warning: None
Reid and poker
They were playing poker in the jet. It had been a case that ended well and they fell easily back into the habit of it, Rossi dealing and everyone else playing. Reid tried to keep himself from being too hard on his friends and Hotch had to keep from laughing at his lover. He saw the genius' cards as he came back from getting coffee and he bursted out laughing.
It was a sound that the team could count on one hand the times they'd heard it, but Reid just smiled up at him. It was high-pitched, sincere and heartfelt and the team stopped for a second, watching the couple.
Then Spencer started to chuckled himself, pressing a kiss to his partner's hand. He folded on the table and the team ended their game with the couple still laughing.
"What's so funny?", Rossi wondered.
"Aaron thinks it's hilarious", Reid started.
"He tries not to use his skills so hard that he get really bad at poker and that's why he loses."
"You keep yourself from winning", Morgan exclaimed.
"Yes. I need to if I want to have friends when I get out of here", Spencer grinned.
"We went to a casino once. I almost died of a heart attack. He wrecked those guys at the table and I was kind of glad I had my backup with me", Aaron smiled.
"They attacked you?", JJ asked, her widening.
"No. But with their faces I thought they would. Imagine this kid that looks barely legal walking in and winning more than what they could even bet if they lost their houses."
They could imagine.
I wanted to make it about Hotch's laugh but I don't know. Anyway, hope you liked it!
