Garcia watched David Rossi's office all day, the man never came to work though and she watched as Hotch picked up the phone for the fortieth time, let it ring and then would slam it down.
The rest of the team was just as bewildered as she was, Reid and Morgan were going to his house after work to check on him, and JJ was also calling his cell phone. She was extremely worried about the older man, who at times was like a father to her.
The day passed slowly and Garcia watched Rossi's credit cards but nothing happened. Reid had gotten Rossi's 'Go' bag after a text message and then Rossi had turned off his phone.
Soon it was time to go and Garcia noticed that Aaron was still in his office and when the next day rolled around, she wasn't even sure if he had left.
"So did you get him Pretty Boy?"
They were surrounded by Reid's desk and Morgan nodded, "Yeah he let us in…and he looks fine…said he was sick."
Reid nervously twisted the button on his sweater, "Yeah but his eyes, they were so hurt…"
Garcia glanced towards Hotch's office and saw him looking out at the group, "Okay guys, let's talk about this later, our lovely Unit Chief is looking."
Emily looked as if she was pondering something and then walked to Hotch's office. After a few seconds Hotch was running through the bullpen, and Emily came out smirking.
JJ waved a finger at her, "What did you do?"
Emily grinned, "I just told him that Rossi was pretty sick and that Reid thought that he may not come back…that it could be serious."
Reid looked upset but Derek smiled, "Way to go Prentiss! At least that will get them in the same room. So what do you think happened?"
JJ grinned and took her girlfriends hand in hers, "I think we can all guess…"
Penelope sniffled and sighed, "You guys are getting so good at this!!"
&&&&&&&&&
Rossi slowly rolled out of bed, the pounding on his door waking him from a deep sleep. He opened it, "Derek, I'm fine-."
He stopped when he saw Hotch standing there, "Y-you're not sick!?"
Rossi watched the wheezing man in front of him, "Yea but not deadly…did you run here?"
Hotch shook his head and Rossi let him in, getting a glass of water, "Panic attack…while running to the car."
David rubbed his back, "You had a panic attack? Over what? You see the most gruesome things every day and deal with life or death situations…and you never panic."
Hotch nodded and took a deep breath, "I know…It started when I thought you had cancer or something."
It took him a moment and then he realized how close he was to Hotch. David backed away, "Well you need to calm down, things happen to the team, besides I'm not sick-."
He was cut off by Hotch shaking his head, "I wasn't panicking over losing a team member, I was panicking over losing you."
David felt his heart beat in his chest and he told his pulse to slow down, "Yes when someone you are close to could possibly-."
Hotch stood up, "Shut up Rossi," and yanked the man to him, slamming their lips together. Rossi groaned at the feel but pushed away lightly. The only thing Hotch did was nipple his way down Rossi's neck.
"A-Aaron! W-Wait…we…mmm…have to…wait."
Aaron growled, "no."
He yanked Rossi's t-shirt off and continued to kiss the man. Rossi was breathing hard and he yelped when Aaron bit his nipple. He pushed him away and backed up. Aaron followed and Rossi held his hands up in defense, "Wait Aaron, you need to think about this. I'm serious…this is not a game."
Rossi was suddenly pushed into his room ad watched as Aaron took off his pants and shirt fast and Rossi gulped at the growing bulge in his boxers, "I don't want to think David."
He walked forward and Rossi back peddled, slamming into the wall. Aaron trapped him there and Rossi tried to breathe, "After..."
He didn't have time to say anything before Hotch kissed him harder, slamming their bodies together and Rossi groaned. He felt Aaron's smile, but gasped when he felt his hard length press against him.
Rossi knew he should stop, they needed boundaries but it was everything that he wished for, so when they were naked on the bed he still didn't say anything and when they rode the waves of bliss together, it was the furthest thing on his mind.
His head was still swimming and he was breathing hard, trying to cling to the happiness that was swimming through him. He didn't want to have this conversation with Hotch…he just wanted to lie in his arms.
He looked over to see a sleepy looking Hotch with a grin on his face, "That…was great."
Rossi smiled and watched as the man wrapped his arms around David, pulling him closer. Hotch looked to be fighting sleep, but Rossi laughed, "It's okay, sleep."
"You…won't…leave?" Aaron tried to open his eyes, but Rossi squeezed his middle and nodded.
David watched Aaron's face relax and then waited for his breathing to even out, before carefully slipping out of his arms and putting clothes on. He walked out to the kitchen and started a pot of coffee.
He brought out the bacon, sausage, eggs, pancakes and toast. It was one of his favorite things to do. Cooking was therapeutic for him and he right now he needed it. He turned on music softly, checking on the Aaron to make sure it didn't wake him and then he started.
What would Aaron want? Was this just because Aaron thought he was dying…would he regret it…would he just want to be friends with benefits? Could Rossi do that?
It took him an hour and a half to get everything done, he had just poured a cup of coffee when arms wrapped around his waist. He jumped, swearing, "You have the mouth of a sailor."
Rossi chuckled nervously, and pointed towards the table, "I made breakfast."
Hotch was nibbling on his neck, "How about I just eat this, its quite yummy." David blushed and cleared his throat, turning slightly ad pushing him lightly. Hotch gave him a confused look, taking his hands.
David didn't look up but instead threw on his best David Rossi smile and led him to the table, "I made everything you could possibly want.'
Aaron sat down, taking a sip of coffee and watching Rossi, "David-."
"You know, Emily and JJ have been dating for two years…and I didn't even know."
Hotch set his cup down and lean forward, forcing David to look at him, "David. Talk to me…tells me what's bothering you."
David watched him for a second before getting up and pacing, "What id this Aaron? I know that you still are not over Haley, your not gay, you have a kid…who would be very confused if he saw us together, you an entire family…how would they react to me…Am I just a friend…or how do you feel…because I think I could take it…just being a friend with benefits, just to hold you would be enough-."
He was effectively cut off with a very angry kiss, "David Rossi, you will not be a friend. You are going to come live with me, and when Jack is old enough we will explain. Together. My family will either except me for who I am or not at all. Any more stupid objections?"
David laughed into his mouth and kissed him again, "I'm old?"
Aaron chuckled, pressing their body's closer together, "From what I can tell you look pretty young to me."
"What about in a couple years, when I get even more old and wrinkly?"
David smiled as Aaron just kissed him, "I'll just get rid of you and find a younger, sexier version of you."
"You sound like my first wife."
