AN: Let me know what you guys think!
You and Caitlin had been dating for about 6 months now. The two of you met when you were helping your roommate take photos of the team. She was one of the student photographers who would photograph different sports teams on campus. She was in charge of women's volleyball, women's basketball, and track and field. It seemed like a lot but she juggled it well.
You got roped into helping her out for one of the media days for the women's basketball team. It was a Friday morning and you had no excuse to get out of it.
You joined your roommate, Sophie, at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. You were in charge of carrying around gear and getting whatever lens she needed ready. It was honestly pretty simple.
You helped her set up the space before any of the team got there. When you were done, you went to grab coffee for the two of you. On your walk back you bumped into a few of the girls from the team.
You started talking with them as you all walked to where the media day was being held. A few of them had classes with you, and the others got introduced. They were all super chill.
When you returned, you handed Soph her coffee and got to work. You gathered all the props that they had and handed them to the girls whenever they went to switch up a shot.
One of the girls came up to you to introduce herself.
"Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for helping out today. Sophie mentioned you would be helping out today. I'm Caitlin." She says as she extends her hand to shake yours.
"Hi, I know who you are," you say with a little smile and laugh. "You are truly incredible on the court."
She smiles and you swear you see a slight blush creep into her cheeks.
"Thanks." She says. "Well, I better get back, thanks again for helping out."
You thought it was sweet that Caitlin came over to introduce herself. She didn't need an introduction as she was well-known throughout campus as one of our star athletes. But it was nice to know that she now knows who you are.
The rest of the media day goes smoothly. Everyone looks amazing and the photos are the best media day photos you have seen your roommate take - and she has taken quite a few.
At the end of the shoot, you help her clean up when Caitlin comes over again.
"Hey," you say as you start folding up one of the lights.
"Hi," she says and just stands there.
You don't think much of it and continue to tear down. She is playing with her fingertips and seems like she wants to say something.
"How did we look today?" She ends up asking, not getting to her real reason for coming over. You stopped what you were doing to continue the conversation with her.
"The team looked absolutely amazing." You say. "I think one of my favorite shots was of you actually." When you say it, noticing a blush that creeps up into her cheeks.
"Oh ya? Which one?" She asks, trying to regain her confidence.
"The one where you were midair for the dunk." You say with a little smile.
"Oh that one was fire, I think it is one of my favorites as well," she says. It is now or never. She takes a deep breath and mumbles, "Would you maybe want to grab coffee or something sometime?"
At first, you stare at her - your brain trying to process what she is asking. There is no way she is asking you out right now, she has to mean it as friends.
âI would love that,â you say with a sweet smile. You try not to think anything of it but it is hard when a gorgeous all-start basketball star is asking to hang out. The two of you exchange phone numbers and go your separate ways.
Over the next 8 months, the two of you really get to know each other. The two of you became friends and started dating shortly after.
That leads you today. The two of you are with a few girls from the team. It is one of her teammate's birthdays and they wanted to go out to a nice dinner and then to their favorite ice cream spot.
Everyone dressed up nice to go out to dinner.
When you walk into where Caitlin is getting ready - she takes your breath away.
You walk up behind where she is sitting and place your hands on her shoulders, rubbing her arms.
"You look stunning." You say as you look at her through the mirror. She looks at you through the mirror with a smile. She is putting on some light makeup, not that she needs it, that compliments her well.
"You don't look too bad yourself," she says checking you out.
You lean over and kiss the top of her head.
"Are you ready to go?" You ask as you sit on her bed.
"Yep, just finishing up," she says. "Can you come help me put this necklace on?"
You get up and help her. It is a necklace you got her for her birthday. It was a diamond circle that fell beautifully on her chest.
Once the necklace is on, she turns round to face you. She takes in your appearance and takes a deep breath. You don't know how she does it but it brings butterflies to your stomach without even trying. You crumble beneath her gaze.
She leans down and places the lightest kiss on your lips. You lean into her wanting more. She gives in and lets you take the lead. When things get a little too heavy, you break away from her. Your breathing is uneven and your eyes are still closed.
"If we don't go now, we won't make it out the door," you say taking a few steps back from her.
She just gives you a look, knowing you are right.
The two of you head out and meet up with the other girls.
The night is nice, you are all enjoying dinner and each other's company. Following dinner you all head to THE ice cream spot. When you all arrive, there is a line around the corner. The is nothing new and you all head to the back of the line.
As you are waiting in line and talking to one of Caitlin's teammates, something catches your eye.
You glance over at Caitlin who is in conversation with the girl in front of her. At first, you think nothing of it as it didn't seem like anything out of the ordinary. You brush it off and get back to your conversation.
After about 10 minutes, you notice Caitlin is still talking to the same girl only this time, the girl's hand comes up to touch Caitlin's arm. Caitlin just laughs at something the girl says, making no effort to remove her hand.
You know it is harmless, but part of you was hoping your girlfriend would politely step back or remove the girl's hand from her body.
You try to shake the rising sense of jealousy that is building within you but it doesn't subside. Even though you are still in the conversation with Caitlin's friends, your ears and mind are trained on Caitlin and the girl.
After another five minutes, you hear the girl talking about how amazing Caitlin is on the court and how she has been following your girlfriend this past season, making sure she was at every game.
Caitlin being Caitlin, was very kind and to anyone else would look like she was flirting back. Deep down - you know she never would, but the insecurity that the jealousy brought, had you raving to get your girlfriend out of that situation. You wanted to stake your claim.
Your final straw was when the girl asked for a photo with Caitlin, which she happily agreed to. When the girl pulled out her phone, she leaned into Caitlin, putting her head in the crease of her neck, and tilted her head in. She was posing as if Caitlin was hers.
You had enough and excused yourself from your current conversation. You make your way over so you are standing right behind Caitlin.
You have a slight advantage since Caitlin is taller than you, so you could sneak up behind her without the other girl knowing. And when you do, you ever so lightly trail your fingers from her lower back all the way up to just below her neck. You see the skin on her neck stand straight up as her speech becomes uneven.
The dress she is wearing makes this all so easy. There is a large open slit that goes from her lower back up to her neck, right where your fingers just trailed and tied at the top. Your fingers begin to play with the strings as your other hand comes and plays with the bottom of the slit, hands teasing her waist.
You can feel every muscle in her body tense and you know that isn't the only part of her that is affected. You go on your tippy toes, just close enough for her, and only her, to hear what you say.
"Looks like I need to show you who you belong to tonight," you whisper in her ear. Caitlin's mouth goes dry as she politely excuses herself from the fan she was just talking to.
As she turns back to the group and you all approach the front of the line, she tries to grab your hand - wanting to make any sort of contact with you to ease the tension that builds inside her. You notice her hand coming to meet yours and move it - keeping up a playful conversation with the girls. The lowest of whines comes from your girl as she is becoming visually flustered and frustrated.
You knew exactly what to do to get her going, and once she was going, there was no turning her off.
The thing about your relationship with Caitlin is that when you two are intimate, it is usually sweet or based off of a mutual need for one another. And if there was any dominance, Caitlin would always be the one to take the lead. It has never been the other way around, until tonight.
You can see hands begin to fiddle with themselves and then come to the bottom of her dress, straightening it out and smoothing it over. She is doing everything in her power to keep it cool.
As the group enters the ice cream shop, you let her go first, placing your hand on her lower back, and guiding her in. She slows her movements, hoping to lean into your touch more yet nothing more than your fingers grace her body. She is itching for your touch.
She can barely focus as she is trying to decide what flavor to get. You are standing right next to her, your perfume overwhelming her. She wants to bring her arm around you and pull you into her body but is nervous about what repercussions that would have later that night. Your choosing to be the dominant one is new and the excitement that comes with that alone is enough for her to excuse the two of you to take you home to find out more.
When it is your turn to choose a flavor, you look over to Caitlin to let her go first.
"Ummm, can I please get....umm," she says, not knowing what to choose.
"She'll have a single scoop of your cherry vanilla," You say, not acknowledging Caitlin's look wondering why you weren't getting any.
"Can we also get a pint of that to go please," you ask the man who's taking your order, he gives a light nod and gets your order all set.
He hands it all over to you as you pay for it. You hand Caitlin her scoop and the paper bag holding the pint while mumbling something along the lines of 'tasting something sweeter tonight'.
Caitlin tries to engage in the conversation as everyone is sitting at a table that is too small for your group but can't focus on anything other than you. How your knee hits hers and your hand occasionally comes to her thigh when you laugh at something one of the girls says.
She leans over to you and quietly says, "Can we please go home?"
Her need for you continues to grow with each touch.
"I don't think I am ready yet," you say, finally looking into her eyes. Even the simple action of eye contact has her fighting back a squirm.
"Please," she whispers in your ear, practically begging.
You see how her thighs are pressing together and her hands can't keep still. You take a second to contemplate her request and cave. To be quite honest, seeing her in such a needy state has you riled up as well.
You stand and Caitlin immediately follows suit.
"We are going to head out, Caitlin doesn't feel too good," you say which isn't completely wrong. Everyone says their goodbyes and you say happy birthday to her teammate and begin the journey back. Everything was within walking distance of her apartment which made it an easy trip back.
Easy in the sense of the distance. Borderline unbearable to Caitlin as you still wouldn't hold her hand. She followed you like a lost puppy.
When you got back to her place, you didn't say a thing to her as you put the ice cream in the freezer and began looking through your phone. She expected you to have her pinned against the door the second you walked in the place, showing her who she belonged to just like you said you were going to.
She didn't know what to do when you didn't immediately jump her.
"Ummm," she doesn't know what to say but knows she wants you.
You look up from your phone and just stare at her. There are your eyes again, unraveling her without a single touch. Her heart rate going a mile a minute. You walk over to her and look her up and down.
"What do you want baby?" You ask low and slow, your hand coming to brush her own.
The control Caitlin wants to take is taking every ounce of willpower she has to subdue.
"Touch me," she says and your eyebrow raises. "Please, touch me."
Your hand comes to hold hers now, and her eyes flutter close. Her breath picks up and becomes uneven. She takes in the feeling of your skin on hers, even if it is just her hand. You then bring your other hand up to where the pads of your fingertips are skimming her neck, tracing her ear. Her neck tilts and she lets out the sweetest moan.
"Go get on the bed," you say as you grab one of the strings of her dress and pull it undone.
She immediately does what you say. You take your time in the kitchen, wanting her to sweat a little.
"If I find any evidence that you have touched yourself, that's it." You yell to her. You hear her groan in response.
You make your way to the freezer and grab the ice cream and a spoon. Once the freezer closes, you make your way to your girl in the bedroom.
AN: I hope this did the prompt justice. Please let me know what you think! And as always, thank you for the love and support đ€

1. inception
child cases are always rough.
theyâre not only extremely sensitive, but they hit emotionally for everyone involved.Â
itâs a small town and yet no strong leads. thereâs no reason for the case to be as difficult as it is, but every case the team looks into is different.
local p.d. bring in a woman named chancy solace. she was the last one to see the missing boy alive and no one wants to wait around for another death to happen to look for evidence.
hotch was set to do the interview.
he asked basic questions about the missing boy, keeping his voice calm as she recounted her day through tears. they all knew she was innocent, no doubts about it. he was set to finish up after a few moments. it was clear she didnât know much.
as he went to stand, however, solace had stopped him.
âdo you have children, agent hotchner?â her voice was broken.
hotch nods. âi do.â
âhow old?â
âmy son is 3 and my daughter is 13.â
the air outside the room went stale. everyone on the team knew jack. some had even met him within his first few weeks of life. he was three, that was a fact - but a daughter? not once had hotch mentioned one, let alone one with such a large age gap. jack never rattled about a big sister either.
solace frowned, more tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. âthen you must understand the guilt iâm feeling right now. can you imagine if you were the last one to see your daughter before she disappeared? how can i possibly have it in me to be a part of this?â
hotch doesnât want to think about the question she posed, not at all.
âweâre going to find him. itâs going to be alright,â it was a promise, one hotch intended not to break.
he left the room after that. their only known witness wasnât much help for the case and there was no point in wasting time.
rossi stops hotch before he can walk away.
âwhyâd you lie?â
thereâs no question on what rossi is asking about. itâs profiling 101 that lying to a suspect, no matter innocent or not, could be dangerous.
hotch glanced at his team.
âi didnât.â
2. first encounter
youâve had a really, really, really bad day.
from the second you woke up, everything seemed to go wrong. school wasnât any better and by the end of the day, the only thing you wanted to do was see your dad. heâs your favorite person and a hug from him always reassures you that things will be okay.
you text him before your last class of the day to ask when heâll be home. if itâs even possible, a deeper frown appears on his face when he tells you no later than six.Â
part of you wants to be happy from that response. no later than six means thereâs no cases and heâs on top of his files. but after the day you had, you just need someone and waiting nearly four hours for him to get home is less than ideal.Â
can i come to the bau?
your text is a shot in the dark. your dad keeps you out of his profession and youâve never stepped foot in quantico. you just hope he gets some sort of semblance for what's going on if you're asking to come see him.
he responds back seconds later. âiâll send an agent.â
itâs not that he doesnât trust you to get there on your own, thereâs even a direct line from the train station closest to your school, but you're still young, only 14, and you know he would feel more comfortable having an agent pick you up.
the next time you check your phone, your dad has sent a message with the name of the agent and instructions on how to prove that itâs him. itâs not him being overprotective, itâs him wanting you to be safe.Â
agent anderson is easy enough to spot. you run through the procedures your dad wanted and once you know itâs the right person, you get in the car.
he doesnât say anything when you shove your earbuds in your ears and shuffle your playlist and youâre thankful for that. youâre especially grateful that he doesnât ask questions when you bite your lip and swipe away stray tears that have fallen down your face.
music is an outlet for you, an escape, and right now thatâs all you wanted to do.Â
earbuds remain in your ears as you step into the bau building. anderson leads you through security and gets you a visitors badge. you very faintly hear any of his verbal instructions.
he leaves you once you reach the right floor, pointing through the glass doors to show you where to go. with a smile, heâs gone.
you weigh your options for a moment before walking in. you told your dad you're here but you donât know where his office is. and right now, you really do not want to deal with anyone else. but with a deep breath, you decide to take your chances and head in.
a child walking into the bau is an automatic red flag, let alone one with puffy eyes and red cheeks, a clear sign of crying.
morgan and j.j. are the first two to stand up, wasting no time in circling their desks to walk to where you stand at the bullpen entrance; j.j.âs mouth already open with an âare you alright?â on the tip of her tongue.
but before they reach you, and before j.j. can speak, hotch is out of his office and moving down the stairs.
he steps in front of them when he faces you, thus shielding you from the prying eyes of the team. you look up at your dad, eyes full of a new wave of tears.
hotch doesnât hug you then, though he desperately wants to, nor does he explain who you are to the team. instead, he places a strong hand on your shoulder, turning you slightly before guiding you up to his office. the door is shut and the blinds are closed. the two of you are cut off from the others and all of them know not to intrude.
âwho was that?â rossi questioned after stepping onto the catwalk. the commotion was noticeable.
âi think we just met y/n.â
3. phone callÂ
on flights home from cases, what the team does onboard genuinely varies with what time of day it is.
during early morning and late night flights, you can find most of the team asleep, trying to make up for the rest lost in the past few days. anything between that is typically a more active time.
hotch is dealt into a game of poker with the entire team. rossi acts as the dealer claiming heâs ânot in the mood to get outsmarted at his favorite game.â
the entire group is laughing and chatting among themselves as they play. thereâs no reason not to, it was a successful case - worth the positive mood on the jet.
hotchâs phone ringing cuts through emilyâs turn.
he holds his hands up in defense and mumbles a quiet apology.
âhi sweet pea,â hotch barely has time to greet you before he gets cut off with your frantic âdid you listen?â
his laugh causes the others to bring their heads up from their cards. a hotch laugh is uncommon, rare.
âi did. we finished up here last night so i listened before i went to bed and finished when i woke up,â he answers your question.Â
he waits for your response, already knowing that you want to know his thoughts on the album.
âwell,â hotch pauses. âif iâm being honest, i liked it more than fearless.â
j.j. and emily are the only two who have any idea what heâs talking about. a record could be set for how fast their eyes snap to each other once it clicks.
hotch is quiet for a few moments. though no one can make out exactly what youâre saying on the other end, they can hear your muffled rambling.
âyeah yeah, i liked that one too,â hotch agrees. âi think my top two are dear john and haunted, though. her songwriting is incredible in those.â
whatever he means clearly pleases you judging by the content look on his face.
âalright i have to get going,â he starts. âbut i have the vinyl reserved at the record store. we can go when i get back? should be home by two.â
you agree without hesitation, several âthank youâsâ being repeated. hotch wonât admit it ever to anyone besides you, but heâs excited to hear it on vinyl too. itâs kinda your shared thing.
âiâll see you when i get home, okay? i love you.â
he hangs up after goodbyes, placing his phone back onto the table before picking up his cards. the silence lingers in the air even after he makes the motion that heâs ready to continue. âwhat?â
âyou listen to taylor swift?â
hotch smiles, a genuine one. âmy daughter loves her. have to keep up somehow.â
4. vacationÂ
when hotch doesnât show up to work for a week, it takes only the first day for the team to panic. it had been a little over a year and a half since foyet had stabbed hotch and hotch had gone missing. no one was going to take chances when their boss, who typically had perfect attendance, showed up without notice.
rossi and morgan went to strauss at the end of the day.Â
their interrogation on hotchâs whereabouts is in good faith, but it doesnât take a profiler to notice straussâ sigh at their concerns.
âagent hotchner is on vacation,â she starts. âhe should be back next week. until then, i am under orders to not assign a new case unless necessary.â
the agents turn to each other in confusion as they leave. âa vacation? come on rossi, when in all the years of knowing him has hotch ever willingly gone on vacation.â
the older man shrugs. âi donât know. maybe thisâll be good for him.â
thereâs no arguing with that.
when hotch returns the following monday, no one hesitates to notice the change in his physical appearance.
his skin is tanned and he has a slight tinge of sunburn on his nose and cheekbones; a clear sign he went somewhere warm.
âhotch!â emily catches him before he can retreat to his office.
all eyes are on him and he knows it.Â
âwhere were you?â she inquired.Â
hotch sighs. âgreece.âÂ
this catches the attention of the other team members in the bullpen. rossi seems to have found an empty chair at j.j.âs desk. even garcia had chosen this exact moment to get a new cup of coffee.
âgreece?â emily stutters. âlike the european country?â
hotch nods. âthatâs the one.âÂ
morgan whistles. vacations in the bau are fairly uncommon. the looming threat of being called back for a case stops most from planning. even if the timing does work out, no one goes far; let alone out of the country.Â
âand you just decided to go there for a casual vacation,â j.j.âs tone isnât condescending, but rather showing genuine curiosity.
âitâs y/nâs birthday in a few months and sheâs always wanted to go,â hotch explains like itâs the most casual thing in the world. âjackâs still a little too young so he stayed with jessica.â
he doesnât mingle around after that, choosing to head up to his office to get set up after his week away.
âhuh,â garcia murmurs. âdidnât take him for a greek island guy.â
âguess that shows just how much heâs wrapped around y/nâs finger.â
5. baked goods
you donât have school today.
despite that, you still get up early to have breakfast with your brother and dad. once jack is picked up by the bus for school, your dad gets ready for work.
you stay in the kitchen, however, moving the cookies you made last night from one container to the other.
when your dad reappears, you wait for his hands to be empty before posing your question.
âis there any way you can give these to agent rossi?â you practically shove the container into your dadâs hand.
aaron raises an eyebrow. ârossi?â
âyou mentioned he was italian,â you wait for a nod of confirmation. âthese are canestrelli, theyâre an italian cookie. i wanted to know if you could give these to him for a taste test.â
he smiles. âtrying to expand your baking horizons?â
you match his expression. âexactly.â
with a kiss to your forehead, your dad is out the door and off to work.
âdelivery,â hotchâs tone is steady as he knocks on rossiâs office door.
âfrom who?â
ây/n,â hotch answers as he sets the container down. âshe tried to make canestrelli and wanted your opinion. iâm just the messenger.â
rossi takes the container from hotch. he opens it up before plucking a cookie out and examining it. âlooks authentic.âÂ
if heâs being honest, even if the cookie isnât good, heâll still love it.
but it isnât.
of course it isnât.
rossi takes one bite and his eyes widen.
âi havenât had canestrelli this good since the last time i went to italy. tell her she should be very proud and i will be happy to pay for more.â
hotch canât hide his proud expression. âi will.â
+1 first meeting
you always wait for your dad to get home from work. itâs routine.
plus, you made a promise to jack when you put him to bed that you would send your dad upstairs when he got home.
you bake in the meantime. itâs something to pass the time and you figure having something fresh to eat would be a nice surprise for your dad.
music plays from the record you have spinning. you keep it quiet as to not wake jack up upstairs. heâs not a light sleeper, but you donât want to disturb his rest.
the side door opens as you're mixing the flour to the batter. tonightâs bake is gingerbread. easy enough to make.Â
it surprises you when your dad doesnât call out a hello. heâs come home this late before when youâre still up and he always makes it a point to greet you. plus, you have music playing. thereâs no doubt he canât hear that.
âdad?â your voice is quiet.
you peer around the corner, stepping out a bit further when you see him, though you freeze when you notice the other people following him.Â
âhi sweet pea,â his voice is tired, you can tell. you close your eyes when he hugs you and kisses your forehead. if his team is here you know itâs not good.
âwhatâs going on?â
he turns to you. âi can explain in a few minutes. are you okay for introductions?â his voice lowers for the last part, not wanting the team to hear if you say no.
you nod, though anxiety bubbles at the pit of your stomach at the deflection of the question.
âeveryone, this is y/n, my daughter,â your dad starts. unsure what to do, you wave slightly. ây/n, this is my team, thatâs dave, derek, emily, spencer, j.j., and penelope.â he points to each of the people as he rattles his name off.
while your dad kept you out of his work, you did faintly know each member of the team. he talked about them in passing and jack rambled often about something âuncle daveâ or âuncle derekâ did.
âwhy are they here?â you hope your question doesnât come off as rude.
your dad squeezes your arm. âcan you go back in the kitchen for a few? iâm going to get these guys set up and then i can explain. is jack asleep?â
you nod. âi put him to bed a few hours ago. he was asking for you.â
âthank you,â he starts. âiâll go see him in a bit.â
the conversation is over. you feel awkward standing in the foyer where youâre clearly the center of attention. you turn and walk into the kitchen. finishing your baking seems like a good idea.
aaron enters the kitchen as youâre pouring the batter into the pans. the music is off by now, though the record stays on the turntable. he waits for you to put the pan in the oven and face him before explaining.
âthereâs a mole in the bau. weâre trying to figure it out but we obviously canât work there. i volunteered our house. we wouldâve gone to daveâs but heâs having work done.â you know heâs giving you the most minimal answer possible.
âoh,â youâre honestly not quite sure what else to say.
he continues. âweâre hoping to have it cleared up soon but we donât have a lot of our normal equipment. i wasnât expecting you to be up for all this. couldnât sleep?â
âwas waiting for you to get home,â you shrugged. âyou know i always do.âÂ
âyeah i know. i shouldâve called.â
you turn to him. âItâs alright. iâm just going to clean up while i wait for the gingerbread to be done and then iâll go to bed.âÂ
your dad nods. âlet me know when you do.â he disappears out of the kitchen after that.
cleaning up doesnât take long and youâre still elbows deep in soapy water when the oven beeps. you take it out of the pan and set it on a cooling rack before gathering your stuff. youâre honestly exhausted.
going into the living room takes a moment of mental courage. you know everyone is in there and you donât want to interrupt them. but, youâve missed your dad and you want him to say goodnight.
âum, iâm going to head up to bed,â your voice echoes through the room. it was fairly quiet before and you feel embarrassed for interrupting that. the first part is directed at your dad. you turn to the rest of the team. âi made fresh gingerbread if anyone wants any. itâs on the counter, help yourself. i also put on a fresh pot of coffee and that should be ready soon.â
aaronâs heart is so full that he almost forgets the case at hand.
âiâll be up in a minute,â aaron voices.
you hum, nodding to the team as a non-verbal goodnight.
he dishes out individual assignments within the team. theyâll work as a group to start before taking shifts so others can rest.
jackâs room is his first stop. he doesnât wake the boy, choosing to instead kiss his forehead before picking up his stuffed dinosaur, a gift, and placing it back on the bed.
youâre just getting under the covers when your dad knocks.
âcome in!â
your dad steps inside, shutting the door slightly.
âhi,â you smile.
âhi,â he echoes. âgood day?â
you shrug. âyeah, i guess so. i got jack from school and we spent the afternoon together. missed you though.â
aaron frowns. âiâm sorry sweet pea. didnât think this was going to happen. none of us did.â
âi know you didnât. iâm not mad.â
you want to continue your statement and wash away any guilt you know heâs feeling. but, your body betrays you and a yawn cuts you off.
âalright, time for bed,â his words make you feel like a child but you know heâs right.
he tucks you in and like with jack, he kisses your forehead.
âgoodnight dad, i love you.â
âi love you too.â
his demeanor changes when he goes downstairs and sits with the team. heâs serious, ready to work. right now this case is his priority. he, like others, wants to wrap it up quickly and efficiently.Â
emily nudges him when he sits down beside her. spencer and derekâs banter about the case is long drowned out.
âsheâs a good kid.â

When it hits 9 pm and I pull out this combo:
Ps: I have severe writers block. Help
quinny boyđ·đđđ

this is literally my favorite pazzi video of all time
Hear me out, possessive reader plays a prank, or maybe to see how it would work out and starts acting wayyy less possessive, to the point of being a normal partner..
I NEED SI REACTION
Anon, I love your fucking mind. I had the best time writing this, literally giggling and kicking my feet while imagining Simon spiraling because his crazy girl went "normal mode" on him and he couldnât handle it for even a second. BASED ON THIS IDEA
You barely looked at him when the waitress called him handsome.
You just smiled to yourself and kept sipping your drink, didnât glare at her, didnât grab his hand and lace your fingers through his, didnât scoot closer in your seat or wrap your arms around him like you used to, and Simon sat there blinking at you like heâd just been slapped across the face.
And then when you walked past a group of girls at the grocery store and one of them giggled and said something about his arms, you didnât even flinch, didnât even frown, didnât even murmur something low and territorial under your breath the way you always did, and Simon actually almost tripped over the cart trying to get a reaction out of you, heart hammering so hard.
You used to get pissed if he so much as looked at another woman too long, used to give him that smug little smirk when you caught someone staring at him, used to lean into him and press your mouth to his ear and mutter "mine" so dark and low that it left him shivering for hours, and now? Now you were just... chill.
Way too chill.
He caught himself thinking insane things like maybe you were losing interest, maybe you were getting ready to leave, maybe you finally realized he wasnât enough for you, maybe you were pulling away slow and silent to make it easier when you walked out for good, and by the time you got home, Simonâs brain was working overtime, replaying every interaction, every glance, every smile you had given that wasnât just for him, every time you hadn't touched him when you should have.
You didnât steal his hoodie when he tossed it on the couch.
You didnât scroll through his phone and make snarky comments about the girls who liked his photos.
You didnât pull into his lap when he sat down to watch TV.
You didnât tell him to shower because he "smelled like other people," which he always secretly loved, even though he rolled his eyes and grumbled about it every time.
You just... existed next to him.
Detached.
Simon sat there on the couch while you scrolled on your phone, completely casual, legs tucked under you, not touching him at all, and he was spiraling so badly he almost convinced himself he could physically see the relationship disintegrating in real time, piece by miserable piece.
He thought about asking if you still loved him.
He thought about proposing on the spot just to lock you down before you could change your mind.
He thought about texting Johnny and asking him if it was normal to feel like your entire world was slipping out from under you because your girlfriend wasnât being a possessive lunatic for five seconds.
Finally, when you stood up and stretched and said, "I'm gonna head to bed" without even glancing at him, without even saying goodnight or trying to drag him with you, Simon couldnât take it anymore.
He launched off the couch and followed you, heart pounding like he was about to get left behind at the airport or something, stomach twisted into a knot.
You climbed into bed and flipped onto your side, facing away from him like it was nothing, like you hadnât spent months curling around him like a vine the second he lay down.
He just stood there at the foot of the bed, breathing way too hard for a normal human being, feeling an honest-to-God panic attack brewing in his chest.
"Love," he said, his voice way shakier than he wanted it to be.
You didnât even roll over. "Hmm?"
He swallowed hard, hands fisting at his sides. "You donât want me anymore."
You snorted. Actually snorted. "What are you talking about?"
Simon clenched his jaw so hard it hurt. "Youâyouâre not evenâyou didnât get mad when that girl flirted with me. You didnât steal my hoodie. You didnât call me yours even once. Youâre acting like weâreâ" his voice cracked and he cursed under his breath, "âlike weâre normal."
You turned slowly, propping yourself up on your elbow, and the look you gave him was so infuriatingly calm he almost burst into tears on the spot.
"You mean," you said, so evenly it made his eye twitch, "like a normal girlfriend who trusts her boyfriend?"
He stared at you, chest heaving, entire body screaming at him that something was wrong.
"Youâre gonna leave me," he said, absolutely sure of it, absolutely certain this was the beginning of the end.
You blinked at him for a second, like you were trying very hard not to laugh in his stupid, panicking face, and then you moved so fast he barely had time to reactâyou were grabbing him by the front of his shirt, hauling him down onto the bed, straddling his hips, and pinning him there with your thighs as your hands locked around his neck, firm but not tight, just enough to make him shut up and listen.
"Listen to me, you stupid, beautiful man," you said, voice low and furious in that way that made every nerve in his body light up, "you need me just as much as I need you. You belong to me. You hear me? You are fucking mine. Iâm not going anywhere; Iâm never fucking leaving you. I don't want normal; I want you wrapped around my fucking finger where you belong. Donât ever doubt that again."
You leaned in closer, your nose brushing his, your hands still gripping his neck just enough to keep him pinned under you, and you added, your voice dropping even lower, smug and wicked, "And maybe I wanted you to lose your fucking mind for a bit. Wanted you to see how much you love it when Iâm unhinged about you."
Simon just exhaled like heâd been punched in the stomach and kissed at the same time, his whole body sagging against the bed.
He groaned, almost whining, burying his face against your chest with a muffled, desperate, "Fuckinâ hell, donât ever do that to me again, you psycho."
But his arms were wrapping around you like steel, holding you so tight, and when you laughed and tugged his hair gently, he actually sighed in relief, like his whole world had finally clicked back into place.
"Youâre crazy," he muttered again, not even trying to sound annoyed, his voice almost grateful.
"You love it," you said against his hair, grinning wide enough your cheeks hurt.
"Yeah," he breathed, voice raw and low and real, "yeah, I fuckinâ do. I need you crazy. Need you to ruin me a little. Keep me yours."
You kissed the side of his head, smug and sweet and savage all at once, and Simon just kept breathing you in, letting that awful gnawing terror bleed out of him one slow second at a time until there was nothing left but you, your hands, your voice, your body wrapped around him like armor, pulling him deeper, anchoring him exactly where he belonged.
And he was fine, better than fine actually, and exactly where he needed to be.
