Here's another Chapter! ENJOY!
Keeping Secrets
Reid's P.O.V.
For the rest of the plane flight, Hotch and I sat next to each other. When we got closer to home, Hotch got up to wake everyone up. I was finally happy again in my life. I got the man of my dreams. Literally and figuratively speaking. I watched him move around, out of the corner of my eye. Once he was done, he sat back down across from Rossi.
When we touched the ground, and got out of the Jet, we split up into two groups. Morgan and the girls climbed into one vehicle. While Hotch, Rossi and I climbed into the second one. I was about to climb into the backseat, when Rossi told me to get into the front.
"You've finally together. Don't waste any more time being separated." He stated, smiling.
I gave him a small thanks, and smile. Then I climbed into the front seat. When Hotch glanced over, he gave me a questioning look.
"You didn't honestly think, I wouldn't have found out. Had you?" Rossi asked smirking. "I don't mind you guys being together. Just make sure to keep it low profile around work. Don't want to give Erin a reason to split the team up. Or you guys for that matter." He stated before looking out his window.
Hotch thanked Rossi, then turned the car on. Once we hit the road, he reached over and grabbed my hand.
Garcia's P.O.V.
"You've been unusually quiet. Everything okay?" Morgan asked.
I looked up, from my side window. "Of course my love. Why wouldn't I be? We caught the bad guy. Saved Reid and Hotch. And with in a few more minutes, we'll be back home. All is great." I answered Smiling.
Thinking that Reid and Hotch would tell the team about them, in due time. But as of right now, it wasn't my job, or business to say. And I wasn't going to. I knew that both men trusted all of us. With their lifes, and secrets. So I knew that they would tell us when they were ready to come out. Of course they would have to be quiet about it when we were at work. And on cases, but when they were at home. They were free to be their selves and do anything they pleased.
"Garcia, come on. You really are quiet tonight." Stated Emily from the back, after a few minutes of silence.
"I'm not the only one though." I stated pointing out that neither one of them were talking either.
"She's right. I think we're all just glad it's over, and ready to get home." JJ stated.
Hotch's P.O.V.
When we got to work, the team went straight to their areas. Rossi, Garcia and I went to our offices. While JJ, Emily, Morgan, and Spencer went to their desks.
As I was making my way to my office, I over heard Morgan speaking to Spencer.
"So pretty boy, need a ride?" He asked as he gathered his things up.
"umm…" Spencer started to say.
"Actually Morgan, if you don't mind, I was going to take Spencer home. We didn't a chance to talk much on the plane ride home." I stated making up an excuse to ride with Spencer.
"Okay cool with me." Morgan stated smiling. "Well I'll see you guys tomorrow." He said, making his way to Garcia's office.
"Well Em you up for a late night trip to the bar?" JJ asked looking at the brunette.
"Sure, want to see if anyone else would like to go?" Emily asked.
"Spence? Hotch? You guys game?" She asked looking at us.
"No, I'm beat. But if you want to Hotch, I can…"
"Nah, I'll take you home, then go home myself." I stated.
"Alright well see you boys later." Smiled Emily as she walked up the stairs towards Rossi's office.
Five minutes later, Spencer and I were in my car, driving towards my house.
"You're not taking me to my house are you?" Spencer asked, looking out the windows.
"Nope. You're coming home with me tonight." I answered. "Unless you rather go home." Thinking maybe he wasn't ready for sleeping with me yet.
"No, I rather not be alone tonight." He stated taking my hand in his.
Five Months Later
Reid's P.O.V.
I woke up, next to the man I have been with for the past five months. To the day. I looked over to the sleeping form, and saw Aaron still fast asleep. It was our weekend off. For which I as happy for. I silently got out of the bed making sure not to wake my lover. I made my way to the bathroom. Where I stripped my clothes off, and turned the shower on. Then when the water was right, I climbed in, under the heat. I stood under the water for a few moments.
I was still surprised that the team hadn't asked, or figured out about me and Aaron. It was nice to have kept the secret this long. It wasn't like it's really possible to keep secrets from each other. Since we pretty much live with each other. The team found out about everyone's past. Of course we never really bring the past up. Unless it's important. But that hardly, if ever, happens.
Once I was done, I climbed out wrapping a towel around my waist. Then walked back into the master bedroom. Where I saw Aaron still asleep. I smiled to myself as I glanced at his sleeping face. Then I made my way towards my dresser. And pulled out some clothes. I got dressed, then walked over to the bed.
I bent down, and kissed Aaron on the lips. I had just touched his lips with mine, when my phone rang.
"Reid." I stated, with out looking at caller ID.
"We've got another case." Stated Garcia from the other end.
"Alright, be there soon." I stated, hanging up.
I was about to shake Aaron awake when his phone went off. He reached over onto the night stand, and grabbed his phone.
"Hotchner." he stated in his tired voice. "…..kay, I'll be there soon." He stated before hanging up.
