SONG PROMPT #44 - JJ/HOTCH
"All Of The Words" - Kutless
It was his butt like she always liked best. She had spent years studying it, watching the muscles moves as she walked behind him into conference rooms. The urge to squeeze it was always in the back of her mind, but never as much as when the second trimester hormones kicked in. She was inches away from doing it once when Rossi walked in, making her quickly leave the room.
She loved his eyes, too. They were dark and mysterious to most people. She, however, had been able to read every emotion within them from early on in her time at the BAU. She learned how they darkened when he was about to snap and how they twinkled when he spoke of his son. She didn't realize he knew she knew until he had to (briefly) tell her good-bye, unable to look at her.
His mouth had always fascinated her. He was able to smile with the tiniest flicker upward. He was able to frown with the tiniest flicker downward. There was power in his mouth, the power to send his agents scurrying in fear or soaring with praise. She spent many nights in the dark fantasizing about the voice that arose from those lips whispering in her ear.
Now, however, it was his hands that captivated all of her attention: the way they wove into her hair, danced across her skin. They held her face tenderly as he descended upon her for their first kiss. They held her close as she pushed them both onto the bed. And, now, touching the most intimate parts of her, propelling her higher and higher into ecstasy, she could definitely say they were her favorite part of him.

"Not Alone" - Danny Jones/McFly
She wasn't blind to the way he looked at her when he thought she wasn't looking.
She didn't fail to notice that he sat next to her on the plane every chance he got and across from her when he couldn't. She didn't miss the softening in his tone whenever he spoke to her. She didn't mind that he kept her close to him on cases.
She cringed when Reid caught on to the looks and warned her about them. She shrunk in her own skin when Prentiss and Morgan teamed up to prevent him from sitting near her on the plane. She sighed when Garcia admonished her on the tone she used while talking to him. She rolled her eyes when Rossi began to decide how to split the team up.
She cried all night when they all got together to tell her she was being unfair to him because he was free, but she was not.
SONG PROMPT #46 - JJ/HOTCH
"Come What May" - Ewan McGreggor and Nicole Kidman
He found her in the corner of the lobby in the middle of the night. He hadn't been able to sleep and went for a walk to clear his thoughts. It was their fifth day away on the case. She quickly wiped her tears when she saw him, but she couldn't hide her bloodshot eyes or red nose. He sat down beside and asked her what was wrong. He pulled her hands into his, running his thumbs over her knuckles as she told him about her guilt over leaving Henry for so long. He shared his own techniques for dealing with his time away from Jack. She was smiling by the end of their talk, but he could still see the sadness in her eyes. He wanted to do anything to take away her pain, which is why he cradled her face in his hands, leaned down, and placed a kiss on her lips. He intended for it to be a quick peck, but the electric jolt he felt had him craving more. The taste of her overwhelmed him when she opened fully to him.
They met for kiss after kiss after kiss until their lips were swollen and their breath was heavy. He pulled away, expecting to see fear and doubt in her eyes, but when he looked into her sparkling blues, he found only the beginning of love.

"Breaking Your Own Heart" - Kelly Clarkson
He knew the day the team got together to tell her to stay away from him. Gone were the looks and smiles that she gave him when no one was looking. She suddenly took great pains to avoid him on the plane and in conference rooms. She was quick to pair herself off with Prentiss or Reid, no matter what the situation.
He missed her and it broke his heart.
He found her alone in the office late one Friday night. He had returned for a file he had forgotten for the weekend. She was sitting at her desk with her head in hands. He made it all the way next to her without her noticing. He laid a hand on her back and she jumped. She launched herself into his arms, tears rolling down her face.
She was crying and it broke his heart.
He lowered them both to the floor, shifting her into his lap as he sat against the drawers of her desk. He held her tight as she sobbed. He muttered encouraging words into her ear and stroked her hair, trying to memorize the feel of her skin on his, her lips on his neck. He grew quiet when her tears dried up, waiting for her to speak.
"I'm free," she whispered, and it mended his heart.
