[jareaulover]

When reid started rambling to Hotch in s7e7 and ge just goes, "I'm rambling, aren't I?" And hotch just goes "yes"

It's so soft and sweet. Hotch is so much nicer about it. He would have listened to whatever Reid had to say..

It just makes me happy.

Prentiss: Are you the little spoon or the big spoon? Hotch: I'm a knife. Reid (not looking up from work): He's the little spoon.

Hii could you maybe do number 25 for the hug prompt for Hotchreid?? I love ur writing so much :D

Hi! Aww, thank you so much! I love doing these so much, but if you want to see any of my longer fics, my ao3 is here! <3

25 - laying on chest, listening to heartbeat

“I can hear your heart beating.”

Aaron slowly moves his gaze from the page of the book that’s propped open in one hand down to the mess of fluffy brown hair that’s resting on his collarbones.

Some of the longer strands have been tickling his chin intermittently as the man currently laying against his chest breathes or moves into a more comfortable position, but it’s a small price to pay for the comforting weight that Spencer Reid provides as he uses Aaron as his own personal mattress.

“Hmm?” he replies, having not really been playing attention to what was being said to him, having been pleasantly lost in the world of the novel he’d been reading and the feeling of Spencer’s chest rising and falling in time with his own. “What did you say?”

He both hears and feels Spencer huff in return; a short outburst of breath that signals the younger man’s mock annoyance with him, but when his free hand travels down to stroke those soft curls that he loves so much, in the exact way he knows makes Spencer melt, Aaron knows he’s soothed any possible lingering ire.

“I said,” Spencer says, putting extra emphasis on the word only because he knows it will make Aaron continue to stroke his hair just to please him, “I can hear your heart beating.”

Aaron smiles, allowing his book to fall shut and placing it down on the mattress beside himself so that he can devote his full attention to his partner.

“Is that so?” he replies, shifting into a more comfortable position when Spencer’s nodding head applies pressure in just slightly the wrong place and rubs against his collarbone painfully.

“Mhm,” Spencer hums, sighing contentedly when Aaron’s fingers begin gently working through a knot in the hair at the back of his head. “It’s nice, soothing,” he adds, his eyes slipping closed again now that he knows he’s got his partner’s attention; despite the fact that, from the position they’re in, there’s no way for Aaron to see whether his eyes are open or closed to begin with.

“Well, that’s good. I’m glad it’s soothing you,” Aaron says quietly, bending his neck down as far as he can to drop a kiss onto the top of Spencer’s hair. It’s been a long time since they’ve had a weekend off, and longer still since they’ve had a weekend where Jack isn’t in the house with them. Aaron loves his son more than anything, and he knows Spencer feels similarly for the little boy, but it’s nice to have an adults only weekend every so often.

Even if, as is the case today, their ‘adult only’ activities haven’t strayed beyond sleepy morning cuddles. Aaron had only just managed to drag Spencer out from under the duvet that morning with the promise of coffee and then breakfast in bed, and after that, he’d settled back against a mound of pillows with his current book and Spencer had wasted no time getting under the covers and laying himself directly over Aaron’s body.

“Mhm,” Spencer mumbles again, pressing the side of his face slightly closer to Aaron’s chest and causing the older man to chuckle softly above him, his hand stilling in Spencer’s hair momentarily before he resumed stroking the soft curly strands again.

Just as he’s starting to think that Spencer’s dozed off and is wondering if he’ll be able to reach his book again, Aaron hears a quiet “don’t stop,” from beneath his chin.

“Don’t stop stroking your hair, or don’t stop beating my heart?” he replies jokingly, fully expecting Spencer to smack him for his attempt at humour, but instead he sees the younger man shift until he’s got a hand resting over his ribcage, just to the side of his heart.

“Both,” Spencer whispers, and the seriousness of his tone of voice takes Aaron slightly by surprise, leaving him speechless for a moment before he clears his throat, resuming the way his fingers were stroking through Spencer’s hair that he didn’t even realise had stopped.

“I won’t,” he replies, clearing his throat again when it comes out far rougher than he’d intended it to, “I promise I won’t.”

“Good,” Spencer mumbles, and this time Aaron feels rather than sees the kiss that the younger man presses against his chest, and suddenly all thoughts of picking up his book again vanish.

After all, why would he want to escape reality to somewhere else, when his reality is this?

Haley Hotchner might not be a profiler like her husband, but she still notices things. She starts to catch on to the fact that her husband is being even more distant, spending even more time at “work”, and becoming incredibly possessive and panicky about his phone and where he leaves it.

She comes to the terrible, obvious conclusion that he’s cheating on her. Aaron, the man she married, wouldn’t cheat on her… right?

She decides to look into it more — checking his emails, sneaking looks at his notifications when he leaves the room for a few minutes, and eventually she checks his phone while he’s asleep. Looks through his call history to find that, apparently, he’s just been getting closer with that kid from work, the one who’s some kind of genius.

She feels bad for a minute, that she was so suspicious of him when all he was doing was being fatherly, something she’s admired about him for years. It was the reason she decided to start a family with Aaron after all.

For some reason, an odd feeling that she couldn’t quite explain, Haley still felt the urge to check on their texts.

It was only natural, right? She looked through his call history so it made sense to look through his texting history too. Maybe she was being nosey, maybe she was a little bit jealous still, she really couldn’t say.

At first it’s normal, maybe something was a little bit off about the way they were texting, but there wasn’t anything… bad. It was simple stuff really, talking about cases — because of course even on their personal phones they were still thinking about their jobs — checking in on each other after particularly bad ones, asking each other what they want from the cafeteria, just sweet messages between her husband and a 20-something year old kid in desperate need of a father figure.

And then she sees… it.

“Thank you baby”

A text that she’d received from her husband many times, a line that she thought was only for her. Scrolling furiously, she finds even more phrases like that; phrases that could be innocent but just felt wrong.

“You looked nice in that cardigan today” “you should get caught in the rain like that more often” “dinner at 8?” “You scared me today, stop being so reckless” even a few “I love you” messages that were getting harder to justify.

She didn’t find anything as incriminating as a nude or sext, and everything they messaged each other could be justified, but she knew. Haley knew. Her husband was having an affair with not only a man, but a man over a decade younger than him and who he had a position of authority over. She was going to be sick… is this really who she married? Had he cheated on her before, or was Dr. Reid just special?

Enjoy a teaser of my latest Hotch/reid longfic

Title: Carry Yourself Back to Me Unspoiled

Chapters: 1/15?

Pairing: Aaron Hotchner/Spencer Reid

Rating: Mature

Summary: After growing closer following the events of Scratch’s first appearance, Aaron and Spencer began a private, but significant relationship. They were planning to tell the team and make it official, but then Scratch showed up at Jack’s soccer game and brought everyone’s lives to a grinding halt.

It's 9 months later.

Scratch is dead. Spencer is exonerated. Hotch is back in Virginia.

Read it on Ao3

HotchReid the narcissist conversation

By the time of season 2, Hotch and Haley's fights had been a regular thing. Jack's one then, they started to need more bonding activities for the kid besides eating and bathing. Meanwhile, the team was struggling after the fisher king case.

Hotch and Reid had always hit off since the beginning. He was Spencer's mentor, senior, role model in many perspectives. But they also shared dry humor, nerd culture, old souls, and just overall respect and admiration for each other. That led to the many many debates and arguments just for the sake of knowledge and entertainment between them.

In one of the fights, Haley accidently called Hotch a narcissistic because his devote for the job and the title hero (she later then apologized because we all said horrible things in a fight, but the deed was done).

He couldn't let it go and it came up in a psychology discussion with Reid. He didn't out right say it, but Spencer could read between the lines that Hotch was seriously considered he was saving people for his own ego.

To Reid, Hotch was one of the most selfless people he'd ever known including Marie Curie. He just went out of his way, using all the data, statistics, observations, interactions he had of the man to defend Hotch against, well Hotch (he was too angry to track down where this thought had came from). He even dared to bring up the religious household and bottomline abusive childhood due to the outburst emotion. He did that with such passion, anger, and protectiveness Hotch had never witnessed in the past 5 years they'd worked together. Remember in the early seasons, Reid always approached the victims and suspects with this soft young innocent kind way of his, not the passive aggressive and confidence he's gained within the next years.

So at this point their relationship was still platonic and professional with a healthy dose of trust and connection. Therefore, they both was surprised by the blatant deep adoration Spencer just showed. While Hotch didn't know what to do with the butterflies set free in his stomach, Reid was confused and embarrassed. Let's say it's a strangely important moment for both of them. And that's how Reid was so sure Hotch would remember it and get his message. All that trust and hope ended up with the shortest hug Reid has had with the team throughout the 15 seasons but also the first he initiated.

"I knew you would understand."

hotchreid sketch !! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠) hotch is hard to draw I'm sorry 😔🙏

[jareaulover]

Thinking about Hotch holding Reid on the couch on the jet.

Thinking about Aaron sitting with one leg spread across the length of the couch, his other foot is on the floor and his back is against the arm of the couch.

Spence is nestled between his legs, head laying on Aaron's chest and his legs in front of him.

Aaron has one hand gently playing with Spence's hair and the other on Soence's forearm.

Spence is holding a book that they are both reading from.

Obviously Spence finishes the pages much faster than Aaron, but Aaron taps Spence's arm when he's ready for the younger man to turn the page.

Anyway just Hotchreid cuddles okay.

WIP Wednesday

One of my in-progress Hotch/Reid fics. Hopefully, I'll finish this soon. Eheh. (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.ﾟ

--

“I heard something interesting earlier.” Spencer jumps, not realizing Hotch is right behind him.

“I’m sorry. W-what?” He stutters, clearing his throat as he tries not to fidget. Or look at Hotch’s mouth because holy shit he really, really wants to punch that mouth with his mouth.

“I said,” the older man’s words are slow as if he’s speaking to someone particularly dim, “I heard something interesting.” Spencer shifts from one foot to another, eyes looking over the taller man’s shoulder. Hotch’s voice almost sounds like a purr, which is ridiculous.

“What, uh, what did you hear?” Spencer’s voice breaks at the end and he swears the older man is smirking at him. He licks his lips as Hotch seems to move closer, practically pressing him over the counter. He’s now glad he hasn’t poured himself some coffee. He would’ve probably dropped his mug with how close the older man was to him.
