ê°áą. .áąê± you did not put husband!jack in my inbox. omgggg . . .
᥎êȘ« àŁȘ Ę I agree nonnie , once jack meets someone he wants to go all the way with heâs 100% locked in and heâs soo devoted, soo committed, soo in love đ© some husband!jack for you I guessđœ
᥎êȘ« àŁȘ Ę jack loves saying âmy wifeâ every chance he gets. It doesnât matter if itâs been years since the wedding; heâs still obsessed.
᥎êȘ« àŁȘ Ę heâs the type of guy that once he knows youâre the one, he knows and heâs not shy about making it known. heâd be jokingly calling you âwifeyâ up until he proposes
᥎êȘ« àŁȘ Ę his friends invite him somewhere? itâs âyeah, the wife and I will be there.â and they never care, they know you and jack come as a package deal. itâs been like that since day one.
᥎êȘ« àŁȘ Ę jack loves talking about you. heâll find any moment to talk about you. mentioning you in interviews. âmy wife actually got me into thatâ or âthe mrs. and I are headed to michigan for the summerâ etc.
᥎êȘ« àŁȘ Ę even the little things â ordering coffee, talking to fans, casual conversations â heâs constantly name dropping you like itâs second nature.
᥎êȘ« àŁȘ Ę like I said once jack knows, he just knows, and heâs 100% committed to you. heâs got your anniversary memorized down to the minute and makes a huge deal out of it every year. heâll plan trips, romantic surprises, and thoughtful little gestures just because. if you have a bad day? heâs on his way home with your favorite snacks and a long hug waiting.
᥎êȘ« àŁȘ Ę domestic husband!jack is just something else. it doesnât matter if heâs been at practice all day or just got home from a road tripâhe wants to be wherever you are. he just wants to be close to you all the time. heâs the type to cuddle up next to you while youâre working or cooking, resting his chin on your shoulder and watching you with a lovesick grin.
᥎êȘ« àŁȘ Ę will do the cheesiest thingsâslow dances in the kitchen, forehead kisses, and pulling you into his lap during movie nights. youâre the type of couple thatâs still sickeningly in love even years after your wedding.
᥎êȘ« àŁȘ Ę loves when you wear his clothes, especially his jerseysâ heâll smirk and say, âdamn, mrs. hughes looks good.â or âIâve got hot wife huh?â
᥎êȘ« àŁȘ Ę jack loves taking you to events, dinners, and hanging out with friends because to him, everythingâs better when youâre there. he introduces you to literally everyone and beams with pride while doing it. at team events, heâs constantly checking in on you, making sure youâre comfortable and having fun. if youâre at a party and he loses you for even a second, heâs scanning the room until he finds you again.
᥎êȘ« àŁȘ Ę he loves lazy sunday mornings with youâmaking breakfast together, lounging in bed, and just enjoying the little things. tries to cook sometimes, but ends up burning things, so he settles for being your âofficial taste tester.â
᥎êȘ« àŁȘ Ę jack trusts you completely, and he knows you can handle yourself but if anyone disrespects you, heâs immediately stepping in. in the same way if someone makes you uncomfortable in public, heâs the first to pull you closer and give them a warning glare. even if itâs some times his own friends/teammates doing it intentionally or unintentionally. heâll always mutter a little âwatch itâ or âcarefulâ in their direction before checking on you.
᥎êȘ« àŁȘ Ę heâs just the most devoted, committed and attentive husband for sure đ„ș

Cecil is already feeling better with his pain meds helping! đ He's happily taking malt paste now, including taking his meds in it just fine, and he greeted Jack at the cage door last night! :)
We're relieved that at least he's comfortable now, and crossing our fingers for meds to work magic & maybe avoid surgery. Not even for the cost entirely, we already have it mostly set out aside. Just don't want this poor man to have yet another surgery already!
#fbw rambles#my pets#ratty girls#cecil ratty#i ordered a two pack of more malt paste to make sure we don't run out lmao#bc both Maven and Cecil are getting meds in it rn#and it's nice not to have to make a big fuss of it#especially when Jack's doing it in the morning before work

*à©â©â§âË snuggles for hire
summary: first years try helping you out with your touch-starved problem type of post: short fics (blurbs?) characters: leona, floyd, jade, vil additional info: romantic or platonic, reader is gender neutral, reader is yuu
"Really? That's it?" Ace scoffs.
"So, they haven't been hugged in a while. Okay? Neither has Deuce,"
Deuce glares. It's almost menacing. "That's not true, and you know it! I get lots of hugs every time I visit home!"
"I do, too. But that's just the thing, though, ain't it?" Epel says. "They don't have no home to get hugs from."
The huddle of first years goes quiet. Some days, you become such a part of their world, they forget you're really not from it.
"...Okay, point taken," Ace sighs. "But they have Grim! And he only stinks like, half the time!"
"If memory serves, Grim usually sleeps on the floor..." Epel says. "Poor prefect, all lonely. Now even their sleep is suffering 'cause of it!"
Jack rubs the back of his neck. "It must be tough, not having anything to look forward to,"
Another melancholy silence. Finally, Ace stands, hands on his hips.
"Well, let's do something about it, then. There are tons of boys at this school- one of them should be willing to help,"
It's eight in the morning after another disappointing attempt at rest, and now you can't even sleep in. Damn visitors.
You throw open the front door.
"What? What could you possibly- wh- Leona?"
The housewarden smirks. He looks a little too proud of himself for this early in the morning...
"A little wolfie told me you weren't sleeping well. Lucky for you, that's my specialty. Now, are you gonna let me in, or what?"
He doesn't wait for an answer, letting himself in and making himself comfortable on the couch in the foyer.
He pats the spot next to him.
"Listen..." you say. "I don't know what you heard, but I'm fine."
"Don't be proud. I don't pity you, I just... owe you. Now get your butt over here, yeah?"
Leona isn't so scary when he's asleep. He's more like... the world's largest pillow. Of course, you're at risk of being smothered until you crawl into a better position, but once you're on top, he's surprisingly warm and comfortable.
You can tell you're being watched before you hear anything.
And you think you might just know wh-
"Shrimpyyy!"
For two boys so tall, the tweels are awfully quiet. Especially when it comes to "surprising" you in random places. This time: the hall.
Floyd pulls you into a bone-crushing hug while Jade watches from behind, smiling subtly.
When he finally lets you down, you're dizzy. (Though, at this point, you'll take whatever physical touch you can get).
"Shrimpyyy, why didn't you tell us you were lonely? We had to squeeze it outta Spade," Floyd pouts.
"His face makes fascinating expressions when he's afraid," Jade says, merrily.
Before you can answer, Floyd's already got you under his arm (seriously? Where do they find the strength?) and is heading straight towards the hall of mirrors.
You already know there's no getting out of this one...
Floyd is, unsurprisingly, all over, from leaning his whole body weight against you to lying across your lap, to biting your shoulder (in his sleep...?) Oh, and he drools, too.
Jade sits on your other side, one hand holding yours, the other leafing through an almanac from twenty years ago.
You're almost hesitant to admit just how nice it really is.
"And nothing else has worked?" Vil says, throwing open the door to your bedroom with no regard for a "hello" or, "how are you?"
You blink. "...Hello to you, too. May I ask what you're talking about?"
He storms inside, standing over you with his hands on his hips.
"Just that I overheard Epel Felmier asking my vice housewarden if he would be willing to satisfy your need for physical affection. You've been struggling? With sleep? And you didn't think to come to me, first?"
He almost sounds... offended that you didn't.
"...Well... I wasn't making a big deal about it,"
"So, no teas, no vitamins, no pills- nothing has helped?"
You shake your head. He sighs.
"Perhaps it is purely psychological... very well. Get up. I hope you don't toss and turn much, I'm a light sleeper,"
Vil is completely still when he sleeps. No tossing, no turning, no drooling, no snoring. He also insists on sleeping on his back, you, clinging to his side, and a single arm around you. Just as elegant as when he's awake. He'd be a true sleeping beauty if not for the mumbles of nonsense that come from him every few minutes. You swear you can make out your own name, once or twice or three times...
He is warm nonetheless, and his mumbles and idle stroking of his fingers on your waist is enough to satisfy you for a night of good sleep.

Hello could I please request a fic where maybe the team doesnt like reader at first?
Winning Over the Kids [Aaron Hotchner x Female Reader]
Masterlist || Ao3||Word Count: 4.5k|| AN: Thank you for the request; I love seeing all of them come in <3 Feedback is also always welcomed! xx
Tags/Warnings:Â implied age-gap, reader is a forensic psychologist, no use of y/n, secret relationship, team dislikes reader at first, protective Hotch, no mention of Jack--so up to you if he exists or not lol, mirroring the Lo-Fi vibes with Kate Joyner/Hotch/Team, canon-typical themes, some fluff, team dynamics, established relationship
Sypnosis:Â When Erin Strauss contracts a forensic psychologist to work with the BAU Team, Aaron Hotchner isn't sure if he is more frustrated with the fact that they dislike you as their newest team member or as his secret girlfriend.
Aaron Hotchner had spent years mastering the art of control. His team relied on him to remain composed under pressure, a steady anchor in chaos. But when Erin Strauss informed him that she was contracting a forensic psychologist to assist the BAU, he felt his resolve stretch thin. Not because he doubted the decisionâhe knew you were exceptionalâbut because the team didnât know the full story.
You were brilliant, sharp, and confident. You had risen through the ranks faster than most, your reputation built on precision and expertise. Yet, whispers of you being a âworkaholicâ and âcutthroatâ followed you, a product of stereotypes surrounding young, successful women in high-stakes fields. Aaron had seen it before, but it infuriated him nonetheless, especially now that you were his⊠well, not officially, but close enough to feel the sting of those judgments on your behalf.
At the morning briefing, he broke the news. âThe Bureau has decided to bring in a forensic psychologist to collaborate with us on our cases. Sheâll be joining us starting tomorrow.â
Predictably, the room bristled.
âA shrink? Really?â Derek Morgan leaned back in his chair, eyebrows raised. âNo offense, Hotch, but we kind of know how to read people.â
Emily Prentiss folded her arms. âIsnât that the point of profiling? What does Strauss think weâve been doing all this time?â
JJ added carefully, âIs this about our mental health? Are we supposed to⊠talk to her?â
Spencer Reid, ever the analyst, frowned. âIâve read that forensic psychologists in consulting roles often critique operational dynamics. Could this be Strauss trying to monitor us?â
Aaron kept his face neutral, though he wanted to correct them all. You were nothing like what they imagined. âThis isnât about our capabilities. The psychologist has specific expertise in complex cases involving psychological manipulation. Her role is to supplement our efforts, not replace them.â
âYeah, until she starts picking apart everything we do,â Derek muttered.
Aaron resisted the urge to snap. They didnât know you yet. They didnât see the meticulous care you put into every decision, or the softer moments when you let your guard down with him.
The next day, you arrived at Quantico with a polished confidence that turned heads. Ready to take on the next case, which was local to the BAU.Â
You greeted the team with a professional demeanor, offering a firm handshake and an easy smile. But the tension was palpable. The teamâs skepticism hung in the air like a storm cloud, and Aaron felt his jaw tighten as he observed their guarded reactions.
Derek kept his distance, observing you with a critical eye. Emily was polite but cool, and even JJ seemed uncertain about how to approach you. Spencer avoided eye contact altogether. RossiâŠwell, Rossi seemed to sit back and take it all in.Â
âLetâs get to work,â Aaron said, more curtly than he intended, leading the group into the roundtable room.
You took a seat beside him, your notebook open and pen poised. âIâve reviewed the case files,â you began, your voice steady and self-assured. âThe unsubâs behavior suggests a deep-seated fear of abandonment, likely rooted in childhood trauma. But the escalation pattern indicates recent stressors. Have you explored potential triggers within the last six months?â
Reid blinked, clearly taken aback. âWeâuh, we considered family dynamics, but we didnât narrow the timeline that specifically.â
Your sharp gaze turned to him, not unkindly. âItâs worth revisiting. The timeline could give us a better idea of who influenced him most recently.â
Aaron noticed the way Reid shifted uncomfortably, and it grated on him. You were offering valuable insights, yet the teamâs resistance was evident.
After the briefing, Derek muttered to Emily, loud enough for Aaron to hear, âWell, she doesnât waste time, does she?â
Aaronâs patience wore thin. âMorgan, a word,â he said, his tone leaving no room for argument.
In his office, Aaron shut the door and faced Derek. âWhatâs your problem with her?â
Derek raised his hands defensively. âHey, I didnât say anything she didnât earn. She walks in here acting like she knows everything. What do you expect us to doâroll out the red carpet?â
âI expect you to treat her with the same respect youâd give any other professional,â Aaron snapped. âSheâs here because sheâs the best at what she does, and we need her expertise. Whatever preconceived notions you have, leave them at the door.â
Derek frowned but nodded. âGot it, Hotch.â
Aaron exhaled slowly after Derek left. He knew he couldnât shield you completely, but it infuriated him that he had to watch you navigate the teamâs cold reception.
That evening, after everyone had gone home, you found Aaron in his office. You closed the door behind you and leaned against it, crossing your arms. âSo, how bad was it?â
He looked up from his desk, his expression softening. âTheyâll come around.â
You smirked, though your eyes held a flicker of vulnerability. âIâm not holding my breath.â
Aaron stood and walked over to you, resting a hand on your shoulder. âYou donât have to prove yourself to them. I know who you are, and eventually, they will too.â
You tilted your head, a teasing smile breaking through. âIs that your way of saying youâre proud of me, Agent Hotchner?â
He couldnât help the small smile that tugged at his lips. âAlways.â
For a moment, the weight of the day lifted. Here, behind closed doors, you didnât have to be the prodigy or the psychologist with a reputation. You were just you, and Aaron was fiercely determined to make sure the team saw that tooâsomeday.
The next morning, as Aaron walked into Quantico, he noticed a huddle forming near Penelopeâs desk. Derek, Emily, Spencer, JJ, and Penelope stood together, their voices low but animated. He had planned to keep walking, but a snippet of their conversation caught his attention.
âIâm telling you, I heard sheâs impossible to work with,â Penelope whispered, her usual warmth absent.
âYeah, and sheâs already showing it,â Derek added. âControl issues, first day on the job.â
âSo far, Itâs just one case,â Emily said, though her tone was skeptical. âBut sheâs definitely⊠intense.â
âWe donât need someone analyzing us while weâre trying to profile an unsub,â JJ muttered.
âI donât think sheâs here for that,â Reid said hesitantly. âBut⊠yeah, Iâve heard the whispers too.â
Aaronâs jaw tightened as he listened. He wanted to intervene, to defend you, but he bit his tongue. This wasnât the time. Instead, he walked away, the sting of their words lingering. He felt almost betrayed. His team was usually better than this. They prided themselves on fairness, on seeing beyond the surface. But in this case, they were clinging to gossip and prejudice, and it hurt more than he wanted to admit.
When you arrived, you carried yourself with the same poise and determination Aaron admired. You greeted the team briefly, your no-nonsense demeanor firmly in place. âLetâs get to work,â you said, spreading the case files across the conference table.
Your approach was methodical and efficient, and though Aaron knew it was how you operated, he could see how it rubbed the team the wrong way. They werenât used to outsiders, especially not ones who came in with your level of authority and expertise. But they were professionals, and they pushed their reservations aside as the case progressed.
Aaron watched you closely throughout the day. You were unflinching in your analysis, your insights sharp and accurate. When you spoke, your voice carried confidence, but he could sense the subtle edge in your toneâa shield you had learned to wield over years of proving yourself.
After the case briefing wrapped up, Aaron found you in one of the quieter corners of the office. You were reviewing your notes, your expression focused but unreadable.
âHow are you holding up?â he asked, his voice low.
You glanced up, a small smile playing at your lips. âIâm fine, Aaron. Itâs not my first rodeo.â
He stepped closer, his brows furrowing. âIâve heard some of the things theyâve said,â he admitted. âThey donât know you, and theyâre wrong. Iâm sorry for how unwelcoming theyâve been.â
You tilted your head, studying him for a moment. âYou donât have to apologize for them. I get it. Theyâre protective of their team, and Iâm an outsider. Itâll take time.â
âIt shouldnât have to,â he said, his tone sharper than he intended. He softened, adding, âYou shouldnât have to prove yourself to them.â
Your smile widened, though there was a flicker of something softer in your eyes. âIâve been proving myself my whole life, Aaron. This is nothing new. Besides, Iâve got you in my corner, right?â
âAlways,â he said without hesitation.
For a moment, the weight of the day lifted, and he allowed himself to take comfort in your resilience. But as he returned to the team, he resolved to address their behavior. They needed to see you for who you truly wereâand he wouldnât rest until they did.
During the next case you assisted on, the tension had been simmering all day, and Aaron could feel it building like a storm. You had just delivered a sharp, insightful breakdown of the unsubâs likely behavior patterns, pointing out inconsistencies in the case file that had gone unnoticed. It was the kind of analysis that would have earned respect from anyone else, but not today. Not from this team, not yet.
The briefing room was quiet for a moment after you finished speaking. Emily exchanged a glance with Derek, and JJ tapped her pen against the table, her lips pressed into a thin line. The air felt heavy, almost suffocating.
âThatâs⊠an interesting perspective,â Derek said, leaning back in his chair. His tone was polite, but Aaron caught the subtle edge, the unspoken doubt.
You didnât falter. âItâs not just a perspective,â you replied, your voice calm and measured. âThe data supports it. If you cross-reference the victimology with the geographic profileââ
âWe get it,â Emily interrupted, her tone sharper than usual. âBut weâve been doing this a long time. We know how to read behavior.â
Aaronâs jaw tightened. He glanced at you, but your expression remained composed, even as he could see the faint tension in your posture. You nodded slightly, as if conceding the point, and continued reviewing the case files without another word.
The meeting wrapped soon after, but Aaron lingered behind, pretending to organize his notes. Thatâs when he heard it.
âI donât know how much longer I can deal with her,â Emily muttered as the others gathered near the coffee station. âSheâs so⊠clinical. Itâs like she doesnât even care about the victims, just the data.â
âSheâs got control issues, for sure,â Derek added. âLike sheâs got something to prove.â
JJ sighed. âMaybe Strauss sent her to micromanage us. I mean, why else would she be here? Weâre already the best at what we do.â
Aaron slammed his folder shut, the sound echoing in the otherwise quiet room. The team froze, turning to see him standing there, his expression dark and unreadable.
âEnough,â he said, his voice low but laced with unmistakable anger. He stepped toward them, his gaze sweeping over each of them. âI donât know whatâs more disappointing--your lack of professionalism or your willingness to tear someone down based on assumptions and gossip.â
The team exchanged uneasy glances, but no one spoke.
âYou think sheâs here to micromanage you? Sheâs here to help. And the fact that you canât see the value in her insights says more about your egos than it does about her methods.â
âHotch, we didnât meanââ JJ started, but he cut her off.
âNo,â he said firmly. âYou did mean it. And if you spent half as much energy working with her as you do undermining her, weâd be a hell of a lot closer to catching this unsub.â
The room fell silent. Aaron rarely raised his voice, and when he did, it carried the weight of finality. He let the silence hang for a moment before he continued.
âSheâs not here to prove herself to you. Sheâs already proven herself, time and time again. Itâs time for you to rise to her level, not drag her down to yours.â
With that, he turned and walked away, his heart pounding in his chest. He knew heâd have to address this further later, but for now, he needed to find you. He wanted to make sure you were okay to remind you, in whatever small way he could, that he was still in your corner. Always.
Aaron Hotchner found you where he expected to: in one of the unused offices, deep in thought over the case files. You were perched on the edge of the desk, flipping through pages with a sharp focus that never failed to impress him. The tension heâd carried since leaving the briefing room eased slightly when he saw how calm you were.
You didnât even look up when he stepped inside. âDidnât expect you to find me so quickly,â you said, a small smile tugging at the corner of your lips.
Aaron leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed. âI needed to check in. The teamâŠâ He trailed off, his jaw tightening. âThey were out of line.â
That made you pause. You glanced up at him, amusement flickering in your eyes. âAaron, itâs fine,â you said, setting the file down. âIâve been in this position before. People donât like change, and they donât like outsiders. Iâm used to it.â
âYou shouldnât have to be,â he replied, his voice firmer than he intended. âItâs not fair, and itâs not professional.â
You tilted your head, studying him in that way you always did when you were about to cut through the noise. âThey donât know, Aaron. About us.â Your tone was even, but there was a hint of something deeper there--not accusation, just acknowledgment.
He stiffened slightly, but nodded. âThey donât. And Iâd prefer to keep it that way. For now.â
You let out a quiet hum, leaning back on your hands. âFor now, sure. But you should think about it. Theyâre already questioning why youâre defending me. If they find out later that itâs because weâre involved, it wonât sit well with them. Theyâll feel like youâve been hiding something important.â
âTheyâll feel betrayed,â Aaron said, the weight of the truth settling over him.
You nodded, a small, knowing smile on your face. âExactly. Look, I can handle their doubts, their gossip, whatever they want to throw at me. But you need to decide how long you want to keep this a secret. Theyâre your team. Theyâre loyal to you. But they also need to trust you.â
Aaron stepped further into the room, his expression softening as he regarded you. âYou donât care what they think of you, do you?â
âNot even a little,â you said with a shrug, your confidence steady. âIâve spent years dealing with this kind of thing. Itâs not new, and it doesnât bother me. What does bother me,â you added, meeting his eyes, âis the idea of this coming out later and making things harder for you. Or for us.â
Aaron let out a slow breath, running a hand over the back of his neck. You were right, of course. You always were. He couldnât keep this from his team forever, and things with you had grown too serious for him to pretend otherwise. He had never been one to let his personal life interfere with his work, but this was different. You were different.
âThis is serious,â he said quietly, almost to himself.
You arched a brow, a teasing smile breaking through. âWow, Aaron. Way to make a girl feel special.â
He stepped closer, his lips curving into the faintest smile. âYou know what I mean. Things are serious between us. Youâre not going anywhere, and neither is the team. I need to find a way to make this work.â
You softened, your hand brushing against his as he stood next to you. âYou will. Theyâll come around, Aaron. And if they donât, wellâŠâ You shrugged, the corner of your mouth lifting in a smirk. âIâm not going anywhere either.â
Aaron felt a warmth spread through him, a rare sense of peace in the midst of the chaos. You were right, as always. He would figure it out--not just because he had to, but because you were worth it.
And for the first time in a long while, he allowed himself to believe that it would all work out.
Aaron Hotchner had always believed in leading by example. Transparency, fairness, and honesty were core tenets of how he ran his team, and they had rewarded him with loyalty and mutual respect. But as he stood in the conference room, waiting for his team to gather for an unscheduled meeting, he knew he had failed to uphold one of those principles.
The team filtered in, curiosity and unease written across their faces. JJ and Emily exchanged glances, Reid clutched his ever-present notebook, and Derek leaned against the edge of the table with his arms crossed. Penelope, usually lighthearted, looked slightly nervous. Rossi lingered at the back, arms crossed, his brow furrowed in thought.
When the door closed, Aaron cleared his throat and took a steadying breath. âI asked you all here because thereâs something I need to addressâsomething I should have told you from the beginning.â
The team straightened, their collective focus sharpening. Aaron had their attention.
âYouâve all expressed concerns about having a forensic psychologist embedded in the team,â he began, his voice calm but firm. âYouâve questioned her presence, her methods, and, frankly, her character. Some of those comments have been professional disagreements, but others have crossed the line. Iâve let it continue longer than I should have, and for that, I take responsibility.â
Emily shifted uncomfortably while Morgan frowned. Reidâs brow furrowed in confusion, his pen tapping lightly against his notebook. Rossi, though silent, tilted his head slightly, a knowing look flickering across his face.
Aaron met each of their gazes in turn, his tone unwavering. âThe reason I know sheâs good at her jobâwhy I trust her, and why I know sheâs not here to spy on us or undermine our workâis because Iâve been seeing her outside of work. For a while now.â
The silence that followed was deafening. Reid blinked rapidly, his pen freezing mid-air. JJâs mouth opened slightly as if to speak, and Penelope let out a small, involuntary gasp. Derek sat up straighter, his brows furrowed in disbelief. Emilyâs eyes widened, but she quickly masked her surprise. Rossi, however, didnât look shocked at all. Instead, his lips quirked into the faintest of smirks, as though confirming a suspicion.
âI had no say in her placement on this team,â Aaron continued, his voice steady despite the tension in the room. âStrauss made the decision, and she made it clear that the reason is simple: sheâs the best. Youâve seen it for yourselves, even if you havenât wanted to admit it. Her insights have already helped move this case forward. She is not your enemy, nor is she here to judge you.â
He paused, letting his words sink in. âI didnât disclose our relationship because I wanted to keep our personal lives separate from our professional ones. But as your Unit Chief and as her partner, I will not tolerate disrespect toward herâwhether itâs behind her back or to her face.â
Reid, finally finding his voice, asked hesitantly, âDoes sheâŠknow about us? I mean, our dynamics, our methods? Or does she see us as part of the problem?â
Aaronâs expression softened slightly as he addressed the question. âShe knows exactly who you are and how good you are at what you do. Sheâs here to help you do your jobs better, not to interfere. But she also deserves the same respect youâd give any other member of this team.â
Rossi finally spoke, his tone measured. âAnd you think telling us this now is going to smooth things over?â His words werenât accusatory, but they carried weight.
âI think,â Aaron replied, meeting Rossiâs gaze, âthat you deserved to know the truth. And I think itâs time we focus on the job at hand rather than creating divisions that donât need to exist.â
The silence lingered until Derek broke it. âHotch, we didnât mean toââ
Aaron held up a hand. âI know you didnât mean harm, but intentions donât erase the impact. This team works because we trust each other. That trust goes both ways. If thereâs something you need to say, say it to me or to her directly. Gossip and disrespect have no place here.â
JJ nodded, her expression softening. âYouâre right. We were out of line. I thinkâŠI think we just felt blindsided.â
Aaronâs tone eased, though it remained firm. âI understand. Change isnât easy, but itâs necessary. Youâll see soon enough why sheâs here. Until then, I need your cooperation.â
Emily exchanged a glance with Morgan, then nodded. âWeâll work on it. I promise.â
Rossi gave a small nod of approval, his smirk gone but his understanding clear. âSheâs good, Aaron. Iâve seen it. Letâs make sure the rest of the team sees it too.â
Reid looked thoughtful, his pen tapping rhythmically again. âI think we canâŠadjust. If sheâs here to make us better, thatâs not a bad thing.â
Aaron gave a single nod, the tension in his shoulders easing slightly. âGood. Thatâs all I wanted to say. Dismissed.â
As the team filed out, murmuring quietly among themselves, Rossi lingered behind. âYou know,â he said, crossing his arms, âyou couldâve just told me this a week ago.â
Aaron allowed himself the faintest smile. âWould it have made a difference?â
âProbably not,â Rossi said with a shrug, âbut it wouldâve saved you the speech.â With that, he left, leaving Aaron alone to gather his thoughts.
For now, he had taken the first step. And he could only hope it was enough.
Over the next few days, Aaron began to notice subtle shifts in his teamâs behavior toward you. It wasnât immediate, nor was it dramatic, but the signs were there. During case briefings, they no longer exchanged skeptical glances when you spoke. Instead, they began nodding along or even asking follow-up questions. Derek, who had been one of the most vocal skeptics, offered a rare compliment about your interrogation technique after a successful suspect interview.
âSheâs got a way of getting under peopleâs skin,â Morgan admitted to Rossi when he thought Aaron wasnât listening. âIn a good way, I guess.â
Aaron didnât respond, but he tucked the comment away, feeling an unspoken sense of satisfaction.
Even Reid, who had initially kept his distance, began peppering you with questions about your graduate work. You seemed to enjoy indulging him, discussing obscure psychological theories with the same enthusiasm he brought to the conversation. JJ and Emily followed suit, no longer as guarded, and Penelopeâwhile still waryâhad gone out of her way to show you how to use the BAUâs internal systems.
Aaron observed it all with quiet pride. His team was warming up to you, just as he had hoped, and it wasnât because heâd told them toâit was because of you. Your intelligence, your confidence, and your ability to adapt were slowly breaking down the barriers theyâd put up.
That evening, as the two of you wrapped up some paperwork in his office, you leaned back in your chair and smirked at him. âYou know,â you said, your voice light with amusement, âyouâre enjoying this way too much.â
Aaron looked up from his file, one brow raised. âEnjoying what?â
âYouâre like the team dad,â you teased, crossing your arms. âAll broody and protective, wanting the stepmom to be liked by the kids.â
He couldnât help the laugh that escaped him, low and rich. âThatâs ridiculous.â
âIs it?â you shot back, grinning. âBecause I think youâve been paying more attention to their approval ratings for me than I have.â
He leaned back in his chair, shaking his head but still smiling. âMaybe. But only because I know how much they mean to youâand how much you mean to me. I want this to work.â
Your expression softened, and for a moment, the teasing dropped. âIt already is, Aaron. You donât have to worry.â
His smile lingered as he looked at you, the tension that had been weighing on him for weeks finally starting to lift.
The real sign of progress came at the end of the week. The team had just wrapped up a grueling case, and as everyone packed up their things, Derek clapped his hands together.
âAlright, weâre going out. Drinks, food, and maybe a little dancing. Whoâs in?â
JJ and Emily immediately agreed, and Reid nodded hesitantly, though he muttered something about âjust one drink.â Rossi chuckled but offered a quick âCount me in.â Penelope looked around, her bright demeanor back in full force. âWhere are we going? And more importantly, is there karaoke?â
Derek laughed. âNo promises, Garcia.â
Then, almost casually, JJ turned to you. âYou should come,â she said, her tone friendly and genuine. âYouâve had a long week too. You deserve to relax a little.â
Aaron didnât miss the slight hesitation in your posture before you smiled. âI might take you up on that.â
âGood,â JJ said, already texting someone. âItâll be fun.â
Aaron stayed silent, watching the moment unfold. The invitation wasnât forced or reluctantâit was sincere. It was an olive branch, extended without fanfare, and he could tell by the look on your face that you recognized it for what it was.
As the team began filing out, chatting about where to go, you lingered by his desk. âThat was unexpected,â you said quietly, glancing at him with a small smile.
âTheyâre coming around,â Aaron replied, his voice equally soft. âI told you they would.â
You smirked. âWell, Dad, looks like the kids like the stepmom after all.â
He chuckled, shaking his head as he stood. âLetâs just hope I can keep them from embarrassing us tonight.â
âOh, Iâm counting on it,â you teased, grabbing your bag. âNow, come on. Youâve got to show me if Unit Chief Hotchner can actually let loose.â
As you both headed out to join the others, Aaron felt a rare lightness in his chest. Things were falling into placeâhis team, you, everything. And for the first time in a long time, he allowed himself to enjoy it.Â

Unveiled Secrets
Summary: The BAU team has a sneaking suspicion that their stoic leader, Aaron Hotchner, is in a relationship, but they don't know the extent of it.
Pairing: Aaron Hotchner x fem!Reader
Category: Fluff
Content Warnings: Jack and Haley do not exist in this, kissing, cuddling, allusions to sex, light teasing, use of Y/N, pet names (my love, baby), thatâs it I think, lmk if I missed any! Oh and pure fluff!
Word Count: 1.8k
Mars speaks⊠hi my loves, I was motivated to write so I am using this to figure out my writing style a bit and how I want to format my works! Iâve been going through a bit of a Hotch phase lately so I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!
Masterlist
The BAU office was slowly quieting down as the day turned to dusk, the last rays of sunlight casting long shadows across the desks. Aaron Hotchner, head of the Behavioral Analysis Unit, stood in his office, the soft light of his desk lamp highlighting the stress lines that had deepened over the years. He checked his watchâalmost time to go home. A rare, soft smile touched his lips, a sight reserved for only one person.
He closed the case file on his desk, slipping it neatly into his briefcase before reaching for his jacket. His phone buzzed just as he picked it up, and he glanced at the screen to see a text from you, Canât wait to see you. Should I pick up dinner?
That smile of his deepened as he quickly typed a reply, Iâll pick it up on my way home. See you soon, my love.
He hadnât planned on keeping his relationship with you a secret, nor did he have any grand strategy for revealing it. He assumed that given time, his team would figure it out on their own. After all, they were profilersâeventually, they would notice the subtle shifts in his behaviour, the unexplained absences, the slightly more relaxed demeanour after particularly stressful cases. He hadnât intended to hide it forever, just until they pieced it together.
As he opened the door to his office, however, he nearly collided with Spencer Reid, who was walking by, engrossed in a file. Reid looked up, startled, his eyes wide with surprise.
"Sorry, Hotch! I didnât see you there."
"Itâs alright, Reid," Hotch replied, a calmness in his voice that belied the momentary flicker of surprise in his eyes. He wasnât often caught off-guard, especially not in the safety of his own office.
Reid, however, had a habit of noticing things others missed. His eyes flickered to the phone still in Hotchâs hand, the screen just dimming from inactivity. Before Hotch could slip it into his pocket, Reidâs sharp eyes caught your name on the screen. His brow furrowed in confusion as he processed the information.
âY/N, as in the academyâs Y/N?â Reid asked, the question out of his mouth before he could stop himself.
Hotch froze for a fraction of a second, but it was enough for Reidâs sharp mind to pick up on the anomaly. Reidâs brain worked at lightning speed, connecting dots that others might have missed. He knew Hotch was fiercely private, but this reaction was new.
âGoodnight Reidâ Aaron replied, quickly, shutting down any further questioning that may have come from the young genius.
Reid blinked, taken aback, but his curiosity was now piqued. However, years of working with Hotch had taught him when to push and when to back off. âHave a good evening, Hotch.â
As Reid walked away, Hotch let out a slow breath. This wasnât how he wanted the team to find out, though he couldnât say he was surprised. He had always assumed it would be Reid who would notice first; the young profiler missed nothing. Still, he had hoped for a bit more time. But the cat was out of the bag now, and he knew it wouldnât be long before the rest of the team found out.
The next morning, the BAU office was abuzz with more than the usual activity. Reidâs brief encounter with Hotch had set off a flurry of curiosity and speculation among the team. They were profilers, after all, and even the smallest clues could ignite their imaginations.
âIâm telling you, somethingâs definitely going on with Hotch,â Reid said as the team gathered in the bullpen before their morning briefing. He couldn't shake the image of your name on Hotch's phone from his mind.
JJ, trying to keep things under control, said, âCome on, guys, it could just be a friend. It doesnât have to mean anything.â
Morgan leaned back in his chair, a knowing grin on his face. âReidâs onto something. Hotch has been acting a bit differently lately. Heâs not staying late like he used to.â
âAnd heâs been smiling more often,â Garcia added, her excitement barely contained. âThe manâs practically glowing sometimes.â
Rossi, with a teasing tone, suggested, âMaybe heâs just getting better sleep. But I have to admit, thereâs definitely something different.â
Garciaâs eyes sparkled with excitement. âDonât you want to know? If Hotch is seeing someone, thatâs huge!â
Rossi shrugged, still smirking. âOf course, Iâm curious. But letâs give him some space. If he wants us to know, heâll tell us. And if weâre lucky, we might even get to meet her.â
Prentiss grinned, "Do you think itâs serious? Like, sheâs âthe oneâ?â
âI think,â Rossi said thoughtfully, âif Aaron is keeping this under wraps, itâs because itâs important to him. He wouldnât be so secretive if it wasnât serious.â
Just then, Hotch entered the bullpen, and the conversation quickly shifted to a quieter, more focused buzz. The team members turned to their desks, but the air was charged with unspoken questions and speculative glances. Hotch, sensing the change in atmosphere, gave a brief nod before heading to his office.
As the day dragged on with paperwork and case briefings, the undercurrent of curiosity remained. The team exchanged looks, clearly eager to discuss Hotchâs secret, but they were careful to avoid bringing it up directly. The excitement about Hotchâs personal life was palpable, and everyone was waiting for the right moment to address the topic.
Later that evening, Aaron finally headed home after a long day. As he walked through the front door, he found you curled up on the couch, a blanket draped over your legs, and a glass of wine in your hand. You looked up from the book you were reading, a smile spreading across your face when you saw him.
âHi, baby, how was your day?â you asked, setting the book aside as he walked over to you.
âTiring,â he admitted, leaning down to press a kiss to your forehead. âAnd eventful. Reid saw a text from you last night.â
Your eyes widened in surprise. âOh no. What did he say?â
âHe asked if it was from you,â Aaron said, sitting down beside you. âI shut him down, but I think I gave myself away. The teamâs been acting strange all day.â
You chuckled, leaning your head on his shoulder. âSo, theyâre onto us?â
He nodded, slipping an arm around you and pulling you closer. âIt was bound to happen eventually. I just didnât expect it to be now.â
âIâm surprised they didnât figure it out sooner,â you said, your fingers tracing patterns on his chest. âThey are profilers, after all.â
He smiled down at you, his expression softening. âI never planned on keeping it a secret forever. I just figured theyâd figure it out on their own time.â
âSo, whatâs the plan?â you asked with a playful grin.
He sighed, his thumb rubbing gentle circles on your shoulder. âI suppose itâs time to tell them. Theyâre already curious, and Iâd rather they hear it from me than through rumours.â
âYou know theyâll be happy for you,â you said, squeezing his hand. âFor us.â
âI know,â he agreed. âBut thereâs a part of me thatâs nervous. Iâve always kept my personal life separate from work, but with you⊠itâs different.â
You leaned up and kissed him softly, the warmth of the moment lingering between you. âWeâll do it together, then. When youâre ready.â
Aaronâs gaze softened, but a playful glint sparkled in his eyes as he pulled you closer. âRight now, I want to do anything but think about the team,â his voice dropped to a low murmur.
You felt the heat of his words and smiled, leaning in closer. âSounds perfect,â you whispered, as he nuzzled against you, his lips brushing yours with a grin.
A few days later, Rossi had decided to host a dinner party for the team. The team was eager to catch up and enjoy the evening. Aaron knew it was the perfect opportunity to introduce you to the team as his girlfriend.Â
As the doorbell rang, Rossi answered the door to find Hotch standing beside you. As you both entered the living room, the atmosphere in the room shifted instantly as Hotch introduced you with a genuine smile.
âIâd like you to meet Y/N, my girlfriend,â Hotch said, his voice steady but warm.Â
The room fell into a stunned silence before erupting into excitement. Garciaâs face lit up with recognition and delight. âOh my God! Itâs Y/N! I knew it was someone! This is incredible!â
Morganâs grin widened as he approached. âSo, this is the elusive woman behind Hotchâs new smile! Youâve been keeping us in the dark for too long, Hotch.â
JJ smiled warmly as she extended her hand. âItâs wonderful to finally meet you, Y/N, weâre really happy for both of you.â
Reid, ever the profiler, couldnât resist asking, âHow long have you two been together?â
Hotch laughed softly, putting an arm around you and smiling fondly. âAlmost five months now. Y/N works as the unit chief for the BSU in the academy. I met her when she invited me to guest lecture.â
Garciaâs eyes sparkled with excitement. âI knew it! You two have that perfect power couple vibe. We have to plan another get-together so we can hang out more!â
Rossi, enjoying the moment, gave Hotch a friendly pat on the back. âWell, I guess this means you wonât be around for poker nights as often.â
Hotch chuckled. âIâll still make time for poker nights, donât worry.â
As the evening continued, the team enjoyed getting to know you better. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, light-hearted teasing, and genuine happiness for Hotch and you.
âSo, when do we get to do this again?â Garcia asked eagerly.
Hotch smiled, feeling content. âSoon. Weâve been talking about having you all over for dinner. Now seems like the perfect time.â
As the team chatted and enjoyed the evening, Aaron felt a weight lift off his shoulders. Introducing you to his team had been a significant step, but their warmth and support made it all worthwhile. The thought of merging his work family with his personal life filled him with quiet joy.
As the party wound down and the team began to leave, Morgan gave Hotch a sly grin. âYou know, Hotch, weâre happy for you, but donât think we wonât give you a hard time about keeping this a secret for so long.â
Hotch chuckled, appreciating the camaraderie. âI wouldnât expect anything less.â
With that, the team said their goodbyes and headed home, their spirits high. Hotch followed them, feeling grateful for the support of his team and looking forward to the future with you.
Mars speaks... (again) Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed it! Also, would anyone be interested if I wrote for other fandoms such as F1 and Marvel? Any feedback is greatly appreciatedđ«¶

how about hotch fluff with reader who's love language is acts of services?
a bit longer
oh to spoil and love on aaron đ„° cw; fem!reader, established relationship, fluff <3
You'd do anything to make Aaron's life easier.
He worked tremendously hard, took on a lot - things, scenarios beyond your own comprehension, and still came home as the loving, extraordinary man he was, both as a partner and a father.
You wanted to help in any way you could. Even if that meant setting an alarm for far too early.
He's told you before, and it wasn't surprising either, he would wake up early while on a case, to iron his suit jacket as needed. And while it made perfect sense, you weren't afraid to admit it tugged at your heartstrings in a melancholy, endearing way.
Last night, Aaron had gotten home much later than he would have liked, missed seeing Jack altogether, as he was already asleep. He ate a quick dinner, and climbed into bed with you.
As a result, he hadn't been in the best mood going to sleep, especially considering he had to wake up early to iron the one suit he had at home - he defeatedly expressed as he got comfortable. The rest were at the cleaners, which was closed by the time he left the office. He even uttered the consideration of using the spare jacket he left at the office.
Aaron didn't get enough sleep to begin with. And unbeknownst to him, after he quickly drifted off, you sneakily shut off his alarm and turned yours on.
Six in the morning came fast. The second the tone rang, you shut it off, hoping it hadn't managed to awake Aaron. You laid there silently for a moment or two, just to ensure he hadn't stirred. He was either the world's heaviest sleeper, or the lightest, depending on the day.
When you were confident he hadn't, you slipped out of bed. Slowly. Lifting the arm slung over your waist and setting it gently aside, peeling back the blanket, or Aaron didn't subconsciously feel your weight leaving the comfort of bed. You exited the bedroom just as leisurely - heading towards the laundry room and hoping you didn't stub your toe in the dark hallway in the process.
His suit was already hung and waiting, right where he left it the night before. After blinking several times to adjust to the light, you clicked the iron on, yawning as you waited for it to warm up.
You turned his suit jacket inside out, preventing any potential damage to the material. In addition, you triple checked the heat setting, making sure it was the proper one. You started with the back: laying it flat on the board and gliding it along the surface in a steady motion.
The floor creaked behind you. Glancing behind your shoulder, you saw Aaron leaning against the doorframe, rubbing his eye.
"What're you doing up?" He asked, raspy.
You ignored his question, offering a gentle, lazy smile in return. "Go back to sleep."
His eyebrows furrowed over his eyes as he observed you. He was thoroughly - and adorably - more confused due to his sleep induced haze. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing you need to worry about. So go back to sleep." You insisted softly, resuming your task. But contrary to your words, a pair of arms wrapped around your waist. It was all too easy to lean back into Aaron's embrace.
"Ironing my suit?" His voice was closer now, at level with your ear. The proximity enhanced his sexy, deep morning voice. "What time is it?"
"That's not important." You teased with a shrug, flipping his jacket to tackle the front next. Your following few words left you nonchalantly, as if it were no big deal. And it wasn't. "I changed yours, and set mine."
He blinked, still waking up and still trying to comprehend what was happening. "Why?"
"So you could get more sleep."
His hold on you loosened slightly, pleasantly surprised. "You didn't need to do that."
"I know." You simply put it, pressing down on the jacket's lapels. "I wanted to."
"I could've-"
"Honey, you don't get nearly enough sleep as it is. If me doing this," you shook the iron lightly for emphasis, "means you get an extra thirty minutes, I want you to get those thirty extra minutes. And besides, I wanna help. You come home stressed and your job is demanding and I want to make things easier on you. You do a lot for others, for me, and I want to repay the favor."
You hadn't meant to go off on a tangent, but it was true. You only wished you could give him the whole world (But if someone asked Aaron, you already had).
"Watch where you wave that thing." Aaron quipped, his tone a humorous deadpan. A smile tugged at the ends of his lips, his arms retightening around you, squeezing you lovingly. "You're sweet."
You blushed at the simple compliment, "And you work too hard."
"Then it's a good thing I have you to slow me down." He kissed your temple, and you could just feel the love radiating off him, he didn't need to verbally say it. "Thank you sweetheart. Seriously."
"You're welcome, now will you please go back to bed? Or do I need to threaten you with the iron again?"
Aaron laughed, a hand squeezing your hip affectionately. "Only if you join me. I could care less if my suit has one more, minor wrinkle if it means I get to lay with you a bit longer."

Baked Goodies â€ïž Aaron Hotchner
⥠SUMMARY: aaron is smitten for his new graduate student neighbor as soon as he meets her.
⥠WARNINGS: male masturbation, allusions to smut but nothing fully written (part 2?), tooth-rotting fluff, mutual pining & slowburn, mentions of drinking and alcohol, mentions of criminal minds-esque violence, age gap (mid 20s/mid 40s)
ââĄ
Aaron doesnât think heâs ever blushed before now. The warmth on his cheeks was an unfamiliar feeling, as was the smile that was slowly making its way across his face. âThank you,â He says with a voice thatâs slightly lower than his usual tone. His hand reached out to grab the Tupperware container you were holding in yours. He tried to ignore the gentle shock that reached his fingertips as they made contact with yours. He also tried to ignore how soft the skin of your manicured hand was. It was probably a lotion, one with the same lavender scent radiating off your body.
âNo need to thank me!â Your voice was so lively, so excitable. It was unlike anything heâd ever heard before. âIf you ever need any more baked goods, Iâm right across the street.â As you spoke, you lifted your arm to point at the house across the street from his.
You were his new neighbor. The house had been on sale for a few weeks and Aaron had been keeping his eye on it, seeing who the new family would be. He was hoping it would be a family that had a child similar to Jackâs age. He didnât have any friends in the neighborhood, they all lived a few blocks over. Having someone Jack could bond with right across the street would make things easier for both him and his son. Especially when Aaron had to leave for days or weeks at a time due to his job.
But, selfishly, he was not disappointed it was you at all. You hadnât disclosed if it was just you living in the house or not, but Aaron had already formed an imaginary life for you. It was just you and some pet living in the house, and he was going to be the protector. Heâd check on you, youâd come to him when you need some manly job done at the house. And he hadnât known you for more than five minutes yet.
âIâll keep that in mind,â he said with a slight chuckle. âIt was nice to meet you, Aaron!â You called to him as you stepped off his porch, heading to the next house to take your fresh-baked goods to. He closed the door, stepping in and taking a look at the container youâd dropped off. It had a mix of different treats, all homemade. There was a little note inside.
âJack, I got food!â He yelled to his son as he made his way to the kitchen. He quickly sat it down, opened it, and took out the note before Jack could see it. âHi! Iâm Y/N, your new neighbor! I hope you enjoy these! (p.s. thereâs no peanuts!) xâ is what the note read. He smiled at the fact that you didnât give off any real personal information, and even more at the fact that you worried about the allergies of the neighborhood. Not even people you knew. You were worried about the allergies of strangers. He felt his blush come back.
âWhatâs that?â Jackâs voice tore him away from his thoughts. âSomeone moved into the house across the street, she baked some stuff and is giving it out,â Aaron explained. âFor free?â Jack inquired, reaching for a chocolate chip cookie. Aaron laughed, âYeah, she was introducing herself.â Jack nodded, biting into his cookie. âWow!â He exclaimed, surprised at how good it tasted. Aaron laughed again, reaching for one of his own.
It was almost a week before Aaron saw you again. The team had been called in to work on a semi-local case that lasted four days. It wasnât the worst thing Aaron had been through, but itâs never easy to come face-to-face with a serial killer. Then, heâd just become busy with paperwork and Jackâs after-school activities. Aaron had helped coach one of his soccer games, which wasnât something he got to do often.
So now, late Sunday morning, he was finally making the walk across the street to your house. He had planned this since the moment youâd dropped the Tupperware container into his hand. He was going to return it just so he could see you again.Â
He gently knocked on your door, loud enough you would hear it if you were around, but not loud enough to wake you up if youâd decided to sleep in today. He hadnât seen enough to observe your routine. Not in a creepy way, just the way you notice when your neighborâs car is in its driveway or if they do yardwork every Saturday evening. Come to think of it, he didnât know any of his neighborâs routines. He was never around enough to notice them.
When you opened the door, his attention left the surrounding houses and landed right on you. He had been looking around upon realizing how little he knew about the people in his neighborhood. Youâd be the first one heâd get to know, he decided.
âAaron!â You were basically beaming at him. He smiled and mumbled out a, âhelloâ. âHow are you today?â You smiled, stepping out onto the porch to stand near him. âIâm good, I was just coming to return the container.â He explained, holding out the Tupperware. You reached out to take it from him, looking at his hands. You couldnât help but notice the veins that ran along them.
âOh! You didnât have to,â You chuckled, moving your eyes up to look at his again. If you were being honest, youâd been surprised when he answered the door. Chatter about the older man from the neighbors you had given your baked goods to prior to arriving at his house had you ready to be nervous and intimidated.
Instead, you were undeniably attracted to him. When he had first opened the door after hearing your timid knocks, you couldnât help but let your eyes scan his broad form. You didnât think he had noticed, as he was too busy trying to figure out why someone was unexpectedly knocking at his door.
âDid you like them?â You asked with wide eyes. He could tell you were genuinely curious. âI did,â He smiled as he continued, âWith the few that I had at least. My son loved them.â
âYour son?â You couldnât stop yourself from asking. Of course, an attractive man like him was married with kids. You werenât sure why hadnât assumed that before. âYeah, Jack. Heâs my son.â Aaron was awkward, not really knowing what you were asking. You recovered quickly, âWhich ones were his favorite? I can make more!â Aaron smiled with a slight shake of his head, âHe loved them all, you donât have to worry about any of that.â You laughed, âI do! I love baking, itâs a nice way to pass time.â Aaron nodded along to your words, âI guess he liked the brownies the most, they were gone in a day.â You smiled, taking a mental note.Â
âAnd your wife?â There was a hidden motive behind this question, one you hoped Aaron didnât pick up on. You wanted, no, needed to know the details of this manâs life. You needed to know if you could keep up the fantasy you were creating of him. He let out an awkward laugh, âUh, no,â he cleared his throat, âNo wife. Just me and Jack.â You almost wanted to break out into a smile at his words, but you knew that would be inappropriate.
âIâm sorry, I didnât mean to like, pry, or anything.â The awkward tone of the conversation was beginning to make you uncomfortable. As much as you wanted to know, you didnât want to blow your chances with him. âItâs okay,â he comforts you when it should definitely be the other way around, âJust a bit of a touchy subject.â You nodded in understanding. You two stood there in silence for a little bit, before Aaron stepped back. âI should get back,â He said, nodding towards his house.
âYeah, yeah. It was good to see you again.â Aaron took note of the awkward smile and lack of eagerness in your voice. âYou too, Y/N. See you around.â He stuck his hands in his pockets as he walked down the steps of your porch
He was just reaching the curb on his side of the street when he heard someone yell your name. You hadnât retreated back into your house, instead opting to tidy up the furniture on your porch. He didnât know you were waiting to make sure he had made it into the house safely. Aaron watched as the man who lived two houses down from you began to approach your porch.
âThe cookies were delicious!â The man was still shouting as he walked over. Aaron couldnât tear his eyes away from you. He watched as you giggled at his words, yelling back, âThank you!â When the man approached you, he handed off the same kind of Tupperware container Aaron had given you. Aaron couldnât help the jealousy that took over him as he realized this man and he had the same idea: returning the container just to see you again.
Once the man reached you and Aaron could no longer hear your conversation, he turned to continue walking back toward his home. He couldnât help but notice how you giggled at this manâs words. Your conversation with him felt so natural, which was very different from the uncomfortable conversation you two had.
Aaron couldnât help but feel insecure about this. Of course, youâd want to conversate with the younger, handsome, athletic guy who lived in the neighborhood. Why would you choose an older man who had a child and knees that creaked when he stood from his office chair? You wouldnât. No one would.
Little did Aaron know, you had been watching him the entire time you were talking to the neighbor. You couldnât help but check Aaron out as he walked away. His sweatpants hugged his hips deliciously and the athletic fit shirt showed off the muscles in his back. Aaron was hot and you couldnât deny it.
The next time you saw Aaron was very unexpected. Your friend, Elise, had convinced you to volunteer at the local middle school, working the door for entry to the soccer game they were hosting on a Friday night. Part of her grad school program involved her working at this school, so you guys had signed up together. She was excited to see the students she had been working closely with.
 You, however, had completely forgotten you had a paper due for one of your graduate classes. So, she was up, selling tickets, conversating with parents, and wishing the students good luck, while you had your nose buried in your laptop. Textbooks and articles were spread across the table that was holding the register for the ticket money.
âJack! Youâre gonna do great!â You heard Elise encourage one of the students, not really paying attention anymore. It wasnât until you heard a familiar voice that you looked up from your halfway-done paper. âHeâs been practicing hard,â Aaron smiled, touselling the hair on the little boyâs head.
Your movement from behind your laptop caught his attention. âHello, Y/N,â he said, not expecting to see you there. Jack and your friend both turned to face you, surprised that you and Aaron knew each other.
Aaron pushed Jack forward with a gentle hand on his back, âBuddy, do you remember the cookies and stuff our neighbor had dropped off?â Aaron asked him, ready to introduce you two. âYou made them?â Jack asked, stepping closer to you. You nodded at him with a smile, âYes! I live across the street from you!â You smiled at the young boy. You didnât notice the eyebrow raise your friend gave you, knowing about the crush you had said you were growing on your older neighbor. She was connecting the dots.
âDo you work here?â Aaron asked as Jack ran into the stadium to join his team. You shook your head, pointing to Elise, âShe does. She needed volunteers and asked me to work.â Aaron nodded. He let out a light laugh and pointed to your laptop, âDoesnât seem like you're doing a lot of work.â
Your cheeks started to warm up in embarrassment, âI have a paper due that I completely forgot about.â Aaron was shocked to hear you discussing college. He thought you were older than that. âYouâre in college?â He asked. You nodded again, âGrad school. I only have one more semester until I graduate.â You explained, and he relaxed. You were older than an undergraduate.Â
He knew you were young, but he didnât think he was being perverted by forming a small crush on you. Sure, some people may deem it inappropriate, but it is up to you in the end. If, by some miniscule chance, you harbored the same feelings he did, he wouldnât feel weird about it, he didnât think.
Aaron questioned what you were studying and you explained your major, your intended career, and how passionate you were about what you were doing. As your face lit up and your hands aided in your expressive explanation, it was as if Aaron could feel fondness growing in his chest. He began to feel warm, as if you were the sun shining on him.
 He hasnât felt like this in a long time. The only feeling that could mirror what he was feeling now was when Jack got crowned MVP at his last soccer tournament. Itâs the kind of pride that you feel when you know someone is going to go far. Aaron wanted to go with you.
Unfortunately, the buzzer interrupted his thoughts. He let out a breath, a small âShitâ escaping from his lips before he continued, âI gotta get to my seat.â He chucked, rushing away, âGood to see you.â He nodded at you and your friend before disappearing into the stadium.
âSo thatâs him? The hot next-door neighbor?â Elise squealed, with a wiggle of her eyebrows. âElise! Stop!â You whisper-shouted at her, still weary of Aaronâs presence, âI have a paper to finish.â She laughed at the way you made your eyes big, emphasizing that she needed to drop the subject.
âOkay,â Elise breathed out after a while, relaxing in the seat next to you, âweâre done!â You nodded at her words, moving to save the file on your laptop. âWhatâs next?â You asked as you closed it, deciding to finish the paper later. âYou hungry? The concession stand has fantastic pizza!â Even if you werenât, the way she practically moaned about it had you wanting this pizza. âSure,â you shrugged. You packed up your things as Elise dropped off the register where it needed to go, and then you guys headed into the stadium.
The line for the concession stand moved quickly. You couldnât help but scan the stands for Aaron, wondering where he ended up sitting. When Elise proposed staying to see the end of the game, you agreed, solely because it would increase your chances of seeing him again.
And, you did. Not until the very end of the game, after the buzzer had sounded and Jackâs team ran to the sidelines, celebrating the win they had just claimed. The only way you found Aaron was through the cheers. He was the loudest one, the proudest parent sitting amongst the whole school. It brought a smile to your face to know how much he loved his son.
âCongratulations, kid!â Elise cheered for Jack as he approached the entrance to the field, by where you two were standing waiting to congratulate the team. Jack just smiled before turning back to his friends. âYou guys did great!â You called from behind her. Aaron smiled at you as he reached where you and Elise were stood.
âSo, will you guys be at more games?â He wasnât going to invite you, as he felt that would be overstepping some invisible boundary he had made up in his head. But, if you were going to be around anyway he could at least offer to sit with you. âI definitely will be!â Elise cheered, turning to you. âIâll see. You never know with school and work.â You shrugged, trying to mask the disappointment. You were not aware that Aaron was doing the same.
âDad!â Jack shouts, running over to his father, âCan I sleep at Chrisâ house tonight? The whole team is going!â You couldnât help but notice how adorable he looked, and the fond look Aaron gave back to him. âSure thing, buddy. Letâs just run home to get your stuff.â Aaron turned to bid a quick goodbye to you and Elise. To your surprise, he turned back to you. âDid you need a ride home?â
You stuttered at his words, âUh, no, um, Elise-â âYes, she does! I was her ride but my boyfriend just asked to meet somewhere!â Elise nudged you as she cut you off. She waved her phone to emphasize her point. âThanks, Mr. Hotchner, youâre the best! Have fun at your sleepover, Jack!â Elise said as she stepped away from the group. Once you were the only one that could see her, she threw you a big smile and thumbs up, before taking off to your car.
âIâm sorry, I didnât realize that happened,â You gestured to your friend running off as you apologized. âNo need to be sorry, I wouldnât have offered if it bothered me. Itâs not like you live far away.â You nodded and smiled at Aaronâs comforting words, thanking him again. âCâmon, the carâs this way.â You followed him and Jack, watching as Aaron congratulated Jack on the win and questioned him on the different strategies the team uses throughout.
Aaron opened the passenger door as Jack climbed his way into the back. Your jaw almost dropped as you realized he opened it for you. It was so casual. He didnât even stop his conversation with Jack as he held it open for you. He laughed at something as you buckled your seat belt up.
 When he leaned over to check that you were comfortable in the seat, his eyes met yours. He gave you the softest smile youâd ever seen and you could feel butterflies take flight in your stomach. Your cheeks felt warm and you looked down at your hands, growing nervous under his gaze. You mumbled a soft âthank youâ as he closed your door, walking around to the driverâs side.
Aaron noticed your nervousness this time. He could tell you were shocked at his actions. Initially, this made him sad as he realized that no man had ever shown you the care you deserved. However, that sadness quickly turned to excitement as he realized he could be the first. He wanted to show you how you deserved to be loved in so many ways, definitely more than just opening a door for you.
The drive to your homes was filled with laughter as you and Jack tried to sing the pop songs that were steadily playing on the radio. Jack kept stumbling over the words and you could not carry a tune to save your life. Aaron had matching butterflies to yours as you interacted with his son.
His car pulled into the driveway and Jack was inside the house faster than you could even open your door. You both laughed as Aaron made his way around the car to stand with you. âI can walk you across while he gets his things,â Aaron gestured to his house, indicating Jack might be a second inside.
âYou donât have to. Get him to his sleepover, he seems excited.â Aaron laughed, nodding along to your words. âHave a good night, Aaron.â He wished you the same and watched as you made your way to your house. His eyes didnât leave your figure until you were safely inside.
Jack gathered his things for the sleepover very quickly. Aaron was almost certain he had forgotten something as they made their way back into the car. Once they were buckled and on their way, Jack shifted his body to face his dad.
âDad?â He asked, getting his fatherâs attention. Aaron let out a gentle âhmmâ of recognition. âDo you have a crush on our neighbor?â Aaron didnât answer, reaching forward to turn up the radio, but the pink spreading across his dadâs cheeks was the only answer Jack needed.
Aaron was exhausted. Completely and totally exhausted. The case and been long and gut-wrenching. The only victory was the arrest of the unsub, as he had murdered all of his previous victims before the team could save them. Aaron was gone for two and a half weeks, and barely got any sleep while he was away.
âThanks, JJ,â His voice was weak as he thanked her, reaching into the back of the SUV to get his go-bag. He had been too tired to drive himself. JJ had kindly offered after seeing the dark eye bags he was wearing. âAnytime, Hotch. Get some sleep.â He could only muster up a nod in return.
Aaron was turning the key in his lock when he heard your door. âShit!â You yelped as the glass outer door slammed. He turned around with a chuckle, never too tired to see you. âHello, Y/N!â He called as best he could with how tired he was.
He was suddenly wide awake when you faced him. He hoped you couldnât see his eyes scan the entirety of your body, pausing at your very exposed thighs. You were in a loose, long-sleeved t-shirt that came down the end of your butt. The shorts you were wearing with it were incredibly short, barely covered by the shirt. Even with the distance between your houses, he could tell you werenât wearing a bra.
He wanted to blame the way his dick was hardening on how tired he was, and definitely not the dirty thoughts he was having about you right now. He could imagine the way his rough hands would trace the skin across your thighs as he pulled you into his lap, preparing to devour you. His fantasies did not slow as you yelled back to him, very excitedly, âAaron! Where have you been?â
He shook his head, attempting to clear it so he could have a normal conversation with you. His heart fluttered at the fact that youâd noticed his disappearance. âI was away for work,â he informed, âfor far too long.â You erupted into a smile, walking off your porch, âWell, the neighborhood missed you!â He knew you were lying. No one in this neighborhood knew him. They didnât care if he was gone or not.
But, being a profiler had its perks. He knew the hidden meaning in your words. You missed him. His brain was tired and his heart was beating a million times a minute. That mustâve been why his mouth was moving before he could stop it, âI missed you too.â The words rolled off of his tongue, no thought behind them. No thoughts, but definitely feelings.
You hoped Aaron couldnât see the way your eyes lit up at his words. You could feel the heat growing in your cheeks as you continued to make your way to your little garden. Thatâs why you were out here, to get your front yard set up for Halloween decorations. âGet some rest, Aaron. Welcome home.
Even with you raising your voice, he could hear the softness behind it. You sounded so fond. This is how he wanted to be welcomed home after every case, with your sweet voice and gentle demeanor. âHave a nice night!â He called to you, before stepping through his front door.
He dropped his stuff by the door and reached up to loosen his tie. He kicked his shoes off and then moved to undo his belt. Leaving both the tie and the belt on the arm of the couch, he made his way right to the master bathroom. He had texted Jessica to let her know he would pick Jack up in the morning during the drive home, too tired to make the drive to her house.
Aaron had forgotten about his half-hard dick, too encompassed by your presence outside. He ignored it, stripping down and climbing into the hot shower. He hadnât realized how tense his muscles were until the hot water ran down them, relaxing his whole body. As he loosened up, his mind drifted back to you. As he imagined holding onto your thighs as he fucked into you from behind. He could clearly make out the curve of your ass.
He felt as if he wasnât controlling himself as his hands moved to his now fully hard dick. He didnât mean to jerk himself off to dirty thoughts of you, his brand new, younger neighbor, but you looked so fucking sexy. His hand wrapped around his cock tighter as he remembered the outline of your tits that he could make out from across the street.
He could feel himself getting closer and closer to release as he tried to imagine the noises you would make for him. All the times you said his name replayed in his name and he tried to imagine you moaning it, whining it, grunting it, screaming it. He couldâve sworn he could smell your lavender perfume as he came. He opened his eyes as he finished stroking himself through his orgasm. He watched as the water washed away the cum that had landed on his hand and stomach.
âFuck,â he said to himself, frustrated with the hold you had on him. Now that he got that out of his system, he couldnât believe he just came to the thought of you.
 He had been having doubts earlier, wondering how inappropriate, how immoral, how wrong his growing crush was. Being a senior in graduate school, you had to be late 20s, maybe early 30s at the most. Being mid-40s, there was at least a 15-year age gap between the two of you.
He had to shake these thoughts. He quickly lathered himself up, rinsed off, and got out of the shower. He slipped on a pair of boxers and climbed into his bed. He was asleep in less than five minutes.
The next morning, he was woken up by knocks on his door. He had slept for about 11 hours, so he wasnât mad that his slumber was interrupted. âComing!â He yelled, shuffling for pants to throw on. Once he got a pair of plaid pajama pants on, he made his way down the hall to the front door.
He didnât have time to register who it was before he heard your voice, âIâm so sorry to wake you up! I know itâs early but my car wonât start and I have an exam at one and I really need to be on time so I was wondering if maybe you could come look at it?â
Your mouth was moving faster than your brain could keep up with, obviously feeling bad about the whole situation. âSlow down,â Aaron breathed out, trying to get you to relax. His efforts failed as you ran your hand along your hairline and mumbled an ââm sorryâ. âI can come, give me just a minute.â He stepped back, opening the door further for you to step inside to wait.
Your eyes widened at his silent invitation. You followed him through the door, awkwardly standing by the front door. You could tell from your spot in the entryway that the layout of his house mirrored yours. He was currently on his way down the hall to the master bedroom. To get a shirt, you presumed.
You definitely noticed the lack of clothing on his part. It was clear youâd disturbed him, and while you felt bad about that, you were ridiculously grateful. His morning voice, low-rise pajama pants, and hairy chest will be pressed into your memory, ready to be used when you needed some help finishing yourself off.
He appeared again quickly, fully clothed with socks and slides on his feet. He opened the front door, gesturing for you to go through. He followed you across the street to your driveway, where your very old sedan sat. âCan I have the key?â You nodded, retrieving the key from your pocket and pressing it into Aaronâs large hand.
As Aaron went to start the car, it was hard for him not to realize that this was the dream life he had conjured up for you when you first showed up on his porch. Here he was, being the manly man, helping you with your car. He tried turning it on and the sound of the engine sputtering made you want to cry. Without words, Aaron walked around to pop the hood, analyzing what was going on. He was quiet as he looked, and you wouldnât dare interrupt it. âI think itâs the spark plugs. I have the stuff in my garage.â He said after a few minutes.
You nodded along to his words, trying to convince him that you knew exactly what he was talking about. As he began to make his way back across the street, you couldnât help yourself from apologizing again. âThank you, Aaron. Iâm really sorry.â He was quick to turn back around to face you. With a hefty shake of his head, he spoke, âPlease stop apologizing, this is what Iâm here for.â He smiled at you, before returning to his journey to the garage.
If you were growing a crush on him before, it was full-fledged now. You needed to do something about this before your heart exploded at his actions and you soaked through your underwear at his words.
He returned after a few minutes, carrying a toolbox. You couldnât do anything but stare as he worked on the car. He didnât say much, focused on doing this right for you. Every once in a while he would attempt to explain what he was doing, but you were too distracted by the way the muscles in his arm contorted as he worked.
âThat should do it,â He said as he made his way back into the driverâs seat. Sure enough, after a few turns of the key, the car sputtered to life. âOh my god, thank you!â You spoke as he stepped up from the seat, throwing your arms around his neck. âYouâre a lifesaver!â You squealed. Aaronâs hands awkwardly found their way around your waist, surprised at the sudden contact. Surprised, but very intrigued.
When you pulled away, Aaron felt cold. âNot a problem, Y/N.â He said as he wiped the grim off of his hands. âWhy donât you give me your number so next time you donât have to walk all the way over?â The way he asked was so casual. He was so calm as your heartbeat increased with every word. Your number? Next time?
âYeah! Sure!â You were afraid your voice sounded too excited, blowing your cover. Aaron picked up on it but didnât mention it. You two quickly exchanged numbers, and he excused himself, stating he needed to pick up Jack. âSeriously, Aaron. Thank you.â You emphasized, grabbing his hand and pulling him forward. You were being bold. You pressed a gentle kiss against his cheek. He turned away before you could see the pink blush spread across his cheeks. âAnytime.â He said, starting to walk away.
You spent the next couple of hours cramming for your exam and trying to repress any thoughts of Aaron Hotchner that your brain was attempting to conjure up. It was working, your focus on passing this exam. However, on your drive to campus, your phone dinged. Your car showed you a message from âAaron (neighbor)â. You were giddy the rest of the way, not wanting to open while you were driving.
When you parked, you opened your phone to a simple text: âGood luck on your exam! You got this.â You walked into class with a smile, and you were pretty sure you aced the exam.Â
You were surprised at the amount of time you and Aaron spent texting. It was definitely an assumption you had made based solely on his age, but you did not expect him to want to text. However, he appeared to be better than men your age at it. Quick replies, letting you know when heâd be unavailable, and absolutely never leaving on you read. Sometimes you had to explain emojis or slang to him, but you found it adorable.
You had learned that he works for the FBI in a unit that catches things like serial killers, rapists, and kidnappers. He was away on a case right now, somewhere in California. He had learned that you had a very old dog, but other than that, it was just you in the house.
There were times when the conversation felt a bit flirty. Teasing jokes thrown around, compliments to each other. Part of you was starting to think he may reciprocate your feelings, but the other part was starting to think you were delusional. There was no way he could ever like you back.
Until he did.
Elise and a few of your other friends had dragged to a bar downtown. One you had never been to. Like normal, you and Aaron were in the middle of a text conversation while you were sitting at the bar. You had been up and dancing, having fun with your friends, but you couldnât stay away from your phone long enough to enjoy your time.
Elise was picking up on this. After a few rounds of shots, she was getting aggravated. She couldnât comprehend how you were managing an intelligent conversation with him, but she knew she had to get you away from it. She kept telling herself it was for your own good, not wanting to feel guilty about the atrocities she was about to commit.
However, it was going to be so much worse than either of you had anticipated.
Elise slithered her way in between you and the person sitting on the barstool next to you. The older lady on your right was definitely agitated with her actions, but Elise did not care. She saw the white screen of your text messages and long contact name and knew who you were texting. Even in her drunken state, she could recall all of the screenshots you had been sending her from your conversations with Aaron.
âGive it here,â Elise slurred, reaching for your phone. It was still unlocked as she held it in her tight grasp. âYouâre texting your hot middle-aged neighbor. Come shake some ass with us and find a guy your own age.â Her words were a little bit harsher than she intended. âElise, stop. Iâm enjoying texting my hot middle-aged neighbor and do not want to find a guy my own ageâ You demanded with your own drunken slur, reaching for the phone. âUh-uh,â Elise shook her head, locking the phone and tucking into the cup of her bra, out of your reach for the rest of your night.
Only because you were forced to, you eventually did get up and dance with your friends. Just your friends, no men at all.
Elise only returned your phone at the very end of the night, when you needed to order an Uber home. Your head was starting to spin from all the alcohol, so that was all you did. After the order was placed, you gripped your phone as a way to keep the world from twirling underneath. The Uber arrived, too slow for your liking, and you were home. You immediately made your way towards the couch, ready to pass out.
The loud knocks on your door did nothing to help the pounding headache you had woken up with, and you couldnât imagine who was knocking. The knocks were powerful and authoritarian. âHello?â You questioned as you threw open the door. There was clearly attitude behind your greeting. âWhat did that mean?â Aaronâs voice sounded rushed as he pushed himself inside the door. He was dressed in a suit and acting very different than the Aaron you had known before.
âThe message, the last one you sent.â He seemed stressed, running his hand through his hair. Something about the way he looked made him look exhausted. Your eyebrows furrowed, not understanding what he meant. You grabbed your phone from the end table next to your couch and opened your and Aaronâs message thread. Your eyes widened at the voice message marked as âread: 1:32 AMâ.
âI-I donât know,â you stuttered out, afraid to meet his eye, âWhat did it say?â Aaron took a step away from you. âIt was Ms. Landon, uh, your friend from the game,â He sounded nervous as he spoke, âYou should just listen to it.â You nodded, checking the volume on your phone and then listening to the message
It was right after Elise had grabbed your phone when she was berating you for being on your phone the whole time. When she mentioned your hot middle-aged neighbor and you replied, also calling him your hot middle-aged neighbor. And saying you did not want to find a guy your age because of him.
âAaron, I am so sorry-â You started, wanting to apologize for your and your friendâs actions and blame the whole thing on being intoxicated, but he cut you off. âForgive me for barging in here like this, Y/N, but I need to know why you were ignoring your friends to text me.â He finally locked eyes with you, and the eye bags under his eyes were the first thing you noticed.
There was a beat of silence, until he continued, âY/N, I have enjoyed the sparse moments we have shared together. And I may be reading this wrong, I may just be incredibly sleep-deprived, but I think you have as well. I understand that I am older than you, but I would like to continue to have these moments with you. I would like to see what else we can do together.âÂ
Your heart started to beat at his confession. You nodded at his words, rendered speechless for the first time in your life. You couldnât stop yourself as your legs moved forward, reaching for his face and pulling him into a kiss.
There was very little hesitation as Aaronâs hands slipped around your waist, pulling you closer. You didnât know heâd been waiting to do this since you met, but you were going to find out soon. His hands gripped you tighter as he deepened the kiss, moving his tongue into your mouth. He was very skillful in the way he held you and the way he kissed you.
You didnât separate until you needed air. If it wasnât for the fact that you needed air to live, you couldâve stayed wrapped up with him forever. Your forehead was pressed to his as you whispered, âAre we gonna talk about this?â He knew that you were talking about where you were supposed to go from here. Is it gonna be a relationship? Are you going to be exclusive? How would it work with him being away so much? What would your role in Jackâs life be?
Aaron decided all of these questions would remain unanswered as he said, âLater, we got things to do right now..â He pulled you tight against him, roughly pressing his lips to yours again.

A Growing Family
Word count: 2.2k
Pairing: Toto Wolff x reader, ft. Jack
summary: Y/n is lovingly protected by Toto, Jack, and Lily as they work together to ensure her and the babyâs safety, each of them â especially Jack â adopting Totoâs caring and cautious nature, forming a strong and supportive family bond.
______________________________________________________________
The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, warming the room with a golden hue. Y/n shifted slightly under the covers, her hand instinctively resting on her small but growing baby bump. A gentle smile crept across her face as she felt the slight curve of her belly â the quiet reminder of the life growing inside her. It had become her morning ritual, waking up and feeling the babyâs presence, knowing her family was expanding.
The sounds of hushed whispers and the occasional giggle echoed from the hallway. It was their usual weekend routine â Jack, Lily, and Toto working together to bring her breakfast in bed. Y/n could picture it clearly: Jack taking charge, guiding little Lily in her clumsy but determined way, and Totoâs quiet supervision, his warm laugh accompanying the childrenâs excitement.
As she rested, savoring the peaceful moment, the bedroom door creaked open. Jack, her stepson, entered first, balancing a tray filled with tea and breakfast. His face was lit up with pride and excitement as he made his way to the side of the bed.
"Careful, Lily!" Jack whispered urgently over his shoulder, watching his little sister wobble behind him, carrying a small vase with a daisy from the garden.
Lily, with her adorable unsteady steps, toddled towards Y/n, her tiny fingers gripping the vase. "F-flower!" she exclaimed proudly, her wide blue eyes glowing as she reached the bed.
Toto followed behind, his tall frame nearly filling the doorway, smiling at the scene before him. His gaze softened as he watched his children in their roles as little caretakers. "Youâre doing great, Jack. Keep going, buddy," he encouraged, his deep voice filled with warmth.
Jack carefully set the tray down on the nightstand, his eyes flicking toward Y/nâs belly before looking back up at her face. "We made you breakfast, Mama Y/n!" he said, beaming. "And your favorite tea!"
Y/nâs heart swelled at the sight of him. Jack, with his gentle nature and caring ways, had really come into his own as a big brother, taking his role seriously. Her smile widened as she reached out to ruffle his hair. "Thank you, sweetheart. It looks perfect."
Lily climbed onto the bed with some help from Toto, her chubby hands patting Y/nâs small bump in wonder. "Baby!" she exclaimed with a bright smile, her enthusiasm filling the room. She clung to Y/nâs arm, looking up at her with adoration.
Y/n laughed softly, resting her hand on top of Lilyâs. "Yes, baby," she echoed, her eyes sparkling with affection. "Youâll be a big sister soon."
Toto took his place on the edge of the bed, his large hand settling naturally on Y/nâs belly, his thumb brushing gently over her bump. "How are you feeling this morning?" he asked, his deep voice laced with concern but also tenderness.
"Iâm good," Y/n replied, leaning into him slightly. "Especially with my little helpers here."
Jack stood tall, a sense of pride radiating from him. He took his role as the big brother to heart, just like heâd done when Lily was born. But this time, it felt different â more serious, more meaningful. Over the past few months, he had started to call Y/n "Mama Y/n" without any prompting, a sign of the deep bond they had built.
Y/n hadnât expected it. When she first married Toto, she had been careful to respect Jackâs relationship with his biological mother, Susie. Y/n and Susie had always had a good relationship, and they worked together to make sure Jack felt supported and loved by both families. But as time passed, Jack began to see Y/n as more than just his stepmom â she was another source of motherly love in his life. And when he first called her "Mama Y/n," Y/n had nearly teared up with joy.
It had been such a natural moment, as Jack stood by her side in the kitchen, asking for her help with a school project. The words slipped out so easily that it took Y/n a second to realize what he had said. Since that day, "Mama Y/n" became part of their everyday life, a title filled with love and trust.
Jack looked up at Y/n now with the same wide, earnest eyes. "Donât worry, Mama Y/n," he said seriously. "Iâll help take care of the baby when they come. Iâm going to help you just like I helped with Lily."
Toto chuckled, glancing between Y/n and Jack with pride. "Thatâs my boy," he said, giving Jackâs shoulder a squeeze. "Youâre going to be a great big brother, just like you already are."
Lily, not to be left out, gently poked at Y/nâs bump, her tiny finger prodding curiously. "Baby!" she repeated with a giggle, clearly excited by the idea of becoming a big sister too.
Y/n smiled down at her daughter, feeling the warmth of her little family surrounding her. "Youâre both going to be amazing big siblings," she said, her voice full of affection. Her hand rested on Totoâs as it cradled her bump, a silent exchange of love between them.
Toto leaned in and kissed Y/nâs temple, his eyes shining with pride. "Looks like youâve got your own little army taking care of you," he teased softly. "Theyâve been watching my every move."
"Thatâs for sure," Y/n laughed, remembering how both Jack and Lily had started copying Totoâs every gesture. Jack would follow her around the house, telling her to be careful just like his father did, and Lily would toddle behind, repeating whatever Jack said in her tiny voice.
Jack stood a little taller, clearly pleased with himself. "Papa always says you have to be careful with the baby, so I told Lily we need to help too."
Toto grinned, ruffling Jackâs hair affectionately. "Youâre right, Jack. We have to take good care of Mama Y/n and the baby."
As Y/n took a sip of the tea Jack had prepared, she looked at her family â Jack, with his earnest love and determination to protect; Lily, full of wonder and excitement; and Toto, the steady anchor in all of their lives. She felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the family they had become.
It wasnât just the four of them. With Susie, and Totoâs older children, Benedict and Rosa, they had formed a close, extended family. Y/nâs relationship with Totoâs first wives had blossomed into something supportive and warm, creating a loving environment for all of their children. Even with so many different family dynamics, there was nothing but love and respect among them.
"Do you think the baby will look like me or Papa?" Jack asked suddenly, his curiosity bubbling over.
Y/n chuckled softly. "Weâll have to wait and see," she said, patting her bump lightly. "But no matter what, theyâll be so lucky to have you as their big brother."
Lily giggled and clapped her hands, clearly excited about the baby, though she probably didnât understand exactly what was happening.
Toto leaned closer, placing a hand over Y/nâs bump once again, his eyes shining with joy. "Weâve got everything we need right here," he said softly, his love for their growing family evident in every word.
______________________________________________________________
As the weeks passed, Y/nâs small baby bump continued to grow, becoming more noticeable with each passing day. And with it, the familyâs protectiveness over her seemed to grow as well. It started with small gestures â like Jack insisting on carrying things for her or Toto always making sure she sat down before doing anything. But soon, it became almost a mission for all three of them to ensure she was âsafeâ at all times.
One morning, Y/n was in the kitchen, humming softly as she reached up to grab a plate from the top shelf. Just as her fingers brushed the edge of the plate, Jack darted into the room.
âMama Y/n, no!â he shouted, startling her for a moment. He raced over, his eyes wide with concern, grabbing the plate from her hands. âPapa said you shouldnât reach for things! You could hurt the baby!â
Y/n blinked in surprise, then laughed softly. âItâs okay, Jack, Iâm fineââ
But Jack was already shaking his head, holding the plate firmly in his small hands. âNo, Iâve got it. Papa says you need to be careful all the time now.â He carefully placed the plate on the counter before turning back to her, his expression serious. âIâll get anything you need, okay?â
Touched by his protectiveness, Y/n crouched down to his level, smiling softly. âThank you, sweetheart. Youâre such a good helper.â
Jack puffed out his chest, clearly proud of himself. âIâm going to protect you and the baby,â he declared. âPapa said I have to look after you.â
Not far behind him, little Lily came toddling into the kitchen, her tiny face lighting up when she saw Y/n. She wobbled over as fast as her short legs would carry her and grabbed Y/nâs leg, hugging it tightly.
âCareful, Mama!â Lily exclaimed, her words slightly garbled but her message clear. âBaby!â
Y/n chuckled, scooping Lily up and resting her on her hip. âYou too, huh?â
Lily nodded solemnly, clearly mimicking Jackâs seriousness. She patted Y/nâs belly gently, her tiny hand resting on the bump. âCareful,â she repeated, looking at her with big, wide eyes.
Y/n couldnât help but smile as she kissed Lilyâs forehead. âI promise Iâm being careful.â
Later that day, Y/n sat on the couch, folding baby clothes for the nursery when she spotted a toy car on the floor across the room. She started to stand up, but before she could even take a step, Toto appeared out of nowhere, hands gently pressing her back onto the couch.
âWhoa there, love,â he said softly, his brow furrowing. âIâve told you not to overdo it. Iâll get that for you.â He bent down, swiftly picking up the toy and tucking it away, his tall frame making it seem effortless.
Y/n sighed playfully, giving him a teasing smile. âIâm pregnant, not broken, you know.â
Toto chuckled, leaning down to kiss her forehead. âI know, but we donât take chances. Especially with this little one on the way.â He rested his hand on her bump, his touch soft and full of love. âWe need you both healthy and happy.â
At that moment, Jack came racing into the living room, holding a glass of water. âPapa! I brought Mama Y/n some water, just like you said!â
Toto smiled, nodding approvingly. âGood job, Jack. Youâre taking your role very seriously.â
Jack handed the glass to Y/n with great care, his face glowing with pride. âYou have to drink lots of water for the baby,â he said earnestly, repeating Totoâs words from earlier in the week. âPapa says itâs important.â
Y/n took the glass from him with a smile, feeling her heart swell. âThank you, Jack. Youâre right, I do.â
âAnd donât carry heavy things either!â Jack added, as if suddenly remembering another of Totoâs instructions. âPapa says itâs not good for you or the baby.â
Toto laughed softly, shaking his head. âLooks like youâve got two extra sets of eyes on you now.â
âAnd very watchful ones at that,â Y/n teased, taking a sip of water.
As the evening came, Y/n decided to take a walk outside in the garden, needing a bit of fresh air. She loved being surrounded by the greenery and hearing the soft sounds of nature. But no sooner had she stepped out the door when Jack and Lily came rushing up to her, Jack holding her hand tightly and Lily clutching onto the fabric of her dress.
âWhere are you going, Mama Y/n?â Jack asked, his eyes wide with concern.
âJust for a little walk,â Y/n said softly, looking down at both of them.
Jack shook his head, his grip tightening slightly. âYou shouldnât go alone. What if you get tired or fall? Papa says we have to make sure youâre always safe.â
Lily mimicked him, hugging Y/nâs leg and repeating, âSafe!â as best as she could.
Y/n smiled, realizing there was no way she could resist their protectiveness. âAlright, alright,â she said, holding out her other hand for Lily to grab. âHow about we all go together?â
With Jack on one side and Lily on the other, they walked slowly through the garden, Jack keeping a sharp eye out for anything that could possibly be a hazard â a loose stone, a low-hanging branch, even a tiny puddle that might trip her up.
âCareful, Mama Y/n,â Jack said every few minutes, his voice taking on the same firm but loving tone that Toto used.
Lily would nod along, echoing her big brother. âCareful!â
By the time they returned inside, Y/n was half-laughing, half-melting at the sight of them. Jack had taken on Totoâs protectiveness so naturally, and Lily was doing her very best to copy her big brotherâs every move.
As they settled back into the living room, Y/n leaned into Totoâs arms, her heart full of love for the little team that had formed around her.
âYouâve turned them into little guardians,â Y/n whispered, resting her head on Totoâs shoulder, her hands lightly tracing her bump.
Toto smiled, pressing a kiss to her hair. âThey just love you,â he said quietly. âWe all do. We canât help it.â
Looking at Jack and Lily, who had nestled themselves next to Y/n on the couch, Y/n felt a wave of gratitude wash over her. They were already an incredible family, and with the new baby on the way, their love and protectiveness would only grow.
And in those quiet moments, surrounded by her loving husband and children, Y/n knew that no matter how much they fussed over her, she wouldnât have it any other way.

Can you please do NSFW alphabet but with curly! <3
captain grant curly nsfw alphabet.
nsfw â lowercase intended ^_^
fem reader â
requests are open and heavily encouraged, i write for every mw character ^.^
notes; itâs always really fun writing for curly! i had a lot of fun writing this one in specific.. sorry for any mistakes. i donât proofread but it is late where i am so obvious typos might have slipped through. doing jimmy next most likely as the people in my inbox call for it. hope you guys like this one, thank you for all the love!!
nsfw under the cut! minors do not read
a â aftercare, (what theyâre like after sex)
â the best at aftercare! it is his biggest priority. he never wants you to feel used, if you ever did i think heâd feel absolutely horrible..
â heâd clean you up, bathe you if you wanted. water, of course- heâd make or order you something if you were hungry. whatever to make you happy!
b â body part (their favorite body part, and their partners)
â i said this in my general headcanons but tummyâs.. he loves placing his hands on your waist, caressing your âcute tummyâ heâd say.
â itâs not even a âthis tummy might hold my kidsâ one day thing. he genuinely thinks itâs the cutest and sexiest thing ever.
â besides that, i guess heâd like tits, thighs, the general. he likes everything! doesnât really have a favorite.
â for his own? heâd have to say his back, or his arms. he works out! itâs canon (literally) so i think heâd be very proud of his body..
c â cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
â who wouldâve guessed.. on your stomach. lol. heâd like cumming inside as well, but only if it was safe too/you two were trying for a kid. but on your stomach he just.. he likes that sight, he really does. besides your cute facial expressions that might be his most favorite part!
d â dirty secret (a dirty secret of theirs)
â i donât consider this dirty, but he does. heâs jerked off to you many times before you got together. not a big deal, but to him it is.
â he probably feels an immense amount of guilt. like, âsheâs not just a girl for me to ogle at.. sheâs my friend that iâm so happened to be in love with..â
e â experience (how experienced are they?)
â all his relationships were the full on commitment kind. he is not really a âone nightâ kind of guy. maybe a few times when heâs feeling it. so heâs had his fair share of experience.
f â favorite position (self explanatory)
â your legs on his shoulders! god, he thinks itâs so sexy. and it feels good too. and he can see your entire face. checks off all his boxes.
â but if you ask heâd say, âwhatever your favorite is!â and would wanna do it always knowing itâs your favorite. he is a d1 people pleaser.
g â goofy (are they more serious in the moment?)
â iâd depend.. if it was night time and that felt like the mood, heâd be serious about it. like after a fancy dinner night out, all he wants to do is fuck you slow and nice. but if it was the morning, or a long day at work, he doesnât mind if itâs less serious, per say.
h â hair (how well groomed are they?)
â heâs pretty well groomed, iâd say. i like to think heâs very cleanly.. itâs obvious he cares about his health and looks and the way it is down there counts too!
i â intimacy (how are they during the moment, romantic wise?)
â ahh.. iâd really depend on you. his go-to is soft and romantic. he just loves you so, so much. if sex is the way you want to be shown love then heâll do it.
â heâs very stereotypical. he wants to whisper sweet nothings into your ear, play with your hair, caress your body in all the right places as he sets a gentle pace. but if you prefer things a bit rougher, he doesnât mind. just reassure him that itâs okay and that itâs what you want.
j â jack off (masturbation headcanon)
â as a teenager, i think he probably felt bad for jerking off. now as an adult he can understand that itâs a very normal human thing. he doesnât do it often, especially when heâs in a relationship, but heâs not opposed to doing so.
â maybe once a week if youâre there (like swansea, he would rather just fuck), up to 3-4 if heâs working in space and all alone and such..
k â kink (one of their kinks)
â praise him. god please. he needs it.
â just one, âthat feels really good..â or, âyouâre doing so well..â gets him going!! he might stop and try to process it, his dick buried inside you as he lets out a long breath- heâs making you feel good? heâs doing that?
l â location (favorite places to do it)
â âanywhere you wannaâ god heâs so annoying. unbearable.
â most likely the bedroom. heâs basic. but heâs open to anything semi-public. he just feels like he can love you best in the most intimate setting, your bedroom!
m â motivation (what turns them on)
â i think he gets turned on at the simplest of things to the point itâs funny.. like when youâre looking in the mirror and admiring yourself, you just look so cute and happy..
â and suddenly your skirt looks just a bit too short for comfort, and the bra youâre wearing looks extra nice on you. heâd feel bad, yes. how can he be so perverted when youâre just there- looking cute?
â but he canât help it. he just wants you in every way he can have you.
â besides that, you straight up saying you want it is enough for him!
n â no (something they wouldnât do, turn offs)
â heâs a people pleaser.. if youâre into it, heâll try it at least once. but for himself? hm. anything that feels too degrading is a no for him either. like free use? heâs not into that. he wants you to feel loved, not that you have to do stuff to get him to love you..
o â oral (preference in giving, receiving)
â giving.. he loves giving. i think itâs obvious. he loves when you place your hands on his hair, your legs squeezing him tight.
â mumble words of encouragement and praise and heâll feel as if heâs on cloud 9!!
â he likes receiving too. but only if you like it. how many times can he emphasize that..? he does think youâre very pretty in your knees though.
p â pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual?)
â soft and sensual is his favorite like iâve said. he wants to feel every thrust, appreciate the way your body reacts to every small thing he does. he just loves to close his eyes and fawn over that feeling, itâs one of the best feelings in the world.
q â quickie (their opinion on quickies, how often)
â i think quite often they happen.. like he loves to make love, he really does. but with his and your busy work life, sometimes itâs needed.. if youâre pent up and stressed and need his dick right then and there, and quick? heâs willing!
r â risk (are they willing to experiment? do they take risks?)
â i think he is for your sake, but heâs confident in what he likes and stuff so he wouldnât wanna try out anything new to his own accord. if he does then heâll talk that out with you. your comfort comes first.
s â stamina
â if sex ends up being rough, maybe only one. itâs a bit of a mental load on him to be mean to you like that. but usually heâs good with two or three. anything past that seems pushing it.
t â toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on themselves or their partner?)
â he owns a few. only for his partner, not for himself. if you like toys then heâll definitely utilize them but if not then he wonât force them upon you or anything.
â a bit of a throw away thought but remote controlled vibrators, the idea of it? kind of turns him on.
u â unfair (how much do they like to tease?)
â he likes to tease! just a smidge bit. not too much or else heâll feel bad but it keeps the mood light and fun. iâve mentioned somewhere he liked playful banter, so that kinda goes along with him teasing you and such..
v â volume (how loud are they? what sounds do they make?)
â heâs loud! heâs very vocal. when heâs feeling good he wants you to know that. grunts, groans, whines, whimpers.. but sometimes he holds it in and shuts up so he can focus on yours. he likes yours way more.
w â wild card (a random headcanon)
â perhaps.. once in a blue moon, he really needs it. rough and fast, with your hands scratching his back. Your legs are too sore to move, so they just lay there shaken up. itâs different when heâs doing it to please you in comparison to please himself.. you know? like itâs just so much better when heâs just a bit selfish.
x â x-ray (whatâs going on underneath?)
â I'm biased. this is my blog, this is my favorite character, these are my headcanons. he has a pretty dick. itâs a nice color, nice to look at. itâs just pretty. 7 inches in length, regular thickness. ok bye
y â yearning (how high is their sex drive?
â kind of average or if not, slightly below average. he loves to show his love in many, many ways. sex is just one of those many things. he can live without it either. if you decided to go celibate, it wouldnât change his life or anything. yeah, heâd miss it, but you come first.
z â zzz.. (how quickly they fall asleep)
â he has a lot of energy so i donât think he falls asleep quick. even so, heâd make sure you fell asleep first- that youâre all taken care of before he can rest.
â also, for selfish reasons, he wants to stare at you and your pretty face, play with your soft hair as you sleep. if he could pause time, iâd be then. youâre just so cute.

Unexpected- W. Smith
Will Smith x Hughes! Sister
In which your brothers were not expecting to find a boy in your bed when they came to visit
Warnings?; cursing, anxiety, judgmental brothers, fluff, sorry for any errors!
âDude just use your key.â Quinn grumbled to Jack as he continued to knock on your apartment door.
âI donât want to invade her privacy.â Jack huffed.
âShe came into our apartment to surprise us that one time.â Luke shrugged reminding his brother of the time they came home to find you on their couch.
âWhat if sheâs like-i donât know..not decent?â Jack cringed.
âOh my god-move, Iâll just use mine.â Quinn huffed as he pushed his younger brother out of the way.
The boys had been texting you nonstop attempting to get an answer from you especially after their consistent knocking hadnât worked and Quinn was tired of waiting.
Jack and Luke played the bruins in two days and having a short gap in his schedule Quinn decided to join his brothers on a surprise visit to their baby sister before he had to return to a hectic season.
Pushing open the sleek door of your apartment they were met with your natural vanilla scent, by the door was your messy shoe rack, umbrellas, coats, your keys on a hook, and hockey sticks-wait, why the hell would you have that many hockey sticks?
âWhy does she hav-ow what the?â Luke began but was cut off as his foot came into contact with a hefty hockey bag and he went stumbling forward.
âUmm..why the hell is there usa hockey bag in her entryway?â Jack questioned, looking between his brothers with a raised eyebrow.
âThe fuck are you asking us for?â Quinn spoke quietly.
âWhy are you whispering?â
âBecause you dumbass her keys are here, which means sheâs probably sleeping still.â Quinn replied.
The boys looked around your apartment a bit more, keeping quiet as they walked through the living room area and kitchen.
Jack and Quinn knew the layout well as this was their graduation gift towards you, they felt unsafe with you living on campus and despite your protests when you opened the box revealing keys, you had been living here since the fall.
âUh guys..thereâs a gold medal on her living room table.â Luke choked.
âWhat?â Jack asked as he rushed in from the kitchen.
Meeting his brothers in the living room his eyes met the good medal that was in fact sitting pretty in the middle of your coffee table.
âUsa bag, sticks, and a gold medal? Shes dating one of the Bc guys that just won at world juniors. She has to be.â Luke laughed looking up at his older brothers.
Jack was the first to take off down the hall and towards your cracked bedroom door, both defensemen following closely behind him.
Quietly pushing your door open they found you asleep on your back, a Boston college hockey shirt on, thank god Jack thought.
And on your chest was a head of blonde curls, one of your hands resting on the boys shoulder peacefully while one of his arms was thrown around your waist.
Retreating to your living room the three men huddled together.
âHe looks familiar.â Jack spoke up.
âHis name is will something, he just got drafted.â Luke confirmed remembering his face from the draft.
âItâs Will smith. He went fourth overall to the sharks.â Quinn spoke showing his brothers the boyâs Instagram page.
âWhat do we do now?â Luke questioned, not sure where they should go from here.
âWe wait.â Jack smirked and moved to make himself comfortable on your large sectional.
-
A little over an hour later they heard soft voices coming from your room, quite good mornings and the sound of lips connecting.
âBreakfast?â They heard you question and will confirm with a soft yeah.
Making your way out of your bedroom and down the hall you felt your heart drop into your stomach and a scream escape at the sight of three large figures sat on your couch.
âWhat the hell are you doing here!?â You shrieked once you realized it was your brothers.
âCame to see you, why? Is there something your hiding from us?â Jack smirked as his eyes dropped from you to gold medal on your table and back to you.
You followed his eyesight and worry filled you as you remembered that your boyfriend, who was fresh out of Sweden had all of his things here, the boyfriend your brothers also have no idea about.
âShit. J-just give me a second.â You groaned as you turned around and pushed a curious Will back into your room before shutting the door.
âEverything okay?â He questioned as the noticeable worry etched on your face.
âMy brothers are here.â You spoke quietly.
âYour brothers? As in all three?â Will asked.
âYep.â You spoke popping the ïżœïżœïżœpâ before continuing.
âCame to surprise me, turns out they were a bit more surprised when they found all of your usa stuff.â You laughed.
âWh-what uh, what are we going to do?â He coughed.
Itâs not that Will was necessarily scared of your brothers, heâd already met your parents and talked to your dad regularly about hockey. But brothers are different, especially your brothers. You four have a bond heâs never seen before and the protectiveness they have over you is strong.
âYouâre going to have to come out and meet them.â You shrugged.
âRight now?â
âNo tomorrow at four. Yes right now will! Theyâre literally sitting in my living room waiting.â You spoke.
âOkay.â He breathed.
âOkay?â
âYeah, letâs do thisâ he nodded confidently.
âI love you and you know I wont let them kill your right?â You laughed as you took his cheeks into your hands.
âI know, I love you too.â He smiled and you placed a light kiss on his lips before turning around and leading him into your living room.
To say the sight In front of him wasnât intimidating wouldnât be a lie, despite being around the same height as all three men their broody stance snd interrogating stares had will feeling a bit nervous.
The three nhl stars were dressed in all black, hoodies, joggers, and beanies as they stood around the living room table looking Will up and down.
âBoys this is my boyfriend Will, Will these are my brothers, Jack, Quinn, and Lukey.â You smiled.
Despite the circumstances you were happy to have your brothers here and it felt good to be back in their presence.
âItâs nice to meet you.â Will smiled as he reached a hand out.
All three looked at his hand but Quinn was the first to move in and shake it, locking wills hand in a tight grip.
The other two followed after Quinn, their grips just as if not tighter around Wills hand. You could see the gears turning in Lukeâs head and that soon questions would be flying out left and right, and before you started to answer them you needed food.
âWhy donât we talk over breakfast? Thereâs an amazing place down the street.â You suggested and thankfully everyone agreed to a nice meal.
-
Forty-five minutes later you were all gathered at a table at the small restaurant down the road, coffees in your brothers hands while you and Will both chose a nice glass of Oj.
âSoâ Quinn coughed, âhowâd you two meet?â
âIzzy is dating his friend Ryan, they introduced us and we hit it off pretty well so we exchanged numbers and went on a few dates. The rest was history after that.â You smiled.
Izzy was your best friend from back home, the boys knew her so well she was practically another sister to them and she was a big contributor to your decision to come to Boston college instead of Umich.
âHmm, whereâd you take her for the first date?â Luke spoke up.
âMini golf, got my ass kicked though. Didnât realize someone could be so good at it.â Will laughed at the memory.
âY/n is an amazing golfer, she does it quite a bit over the summers.â Jack nodded.
âBest in the family iâd say.â You smirked.
âOkay donât get ahead of yourself now.â Luke scoffed.
âSo youâre a sharks prospect right?â Jack asked.
âUh yeah, they drafted me this past spring.â Will smiled.
The questions kept up until the food came, but they began to get more relaxed and generic after a while. The boys began to asked will more about school and how it was a world juniors and soon they were all sharing laughs.
âYou know, that wasnât really the way I wanted to find out my baby sister had a boyfriend but youâre a cool kid Will.â Quinn smiled.
âThank you, sheâs amazing. Out my league really.â Will blushed as you elbowed him in his side.
âThatâs true, but as long as you treat her right and make her happy then we like you.â Jack spoke softly.
âBut donât think we wonât flatten your ass out on the ice if you ever hurt her.â Luke smirked.
Will nodded with a winded expression and and awkward silence crowded the table before the ringing of Quinnâs phone broke through.
âOh, itâs mom.â He smirked right at Will and it took everything in you to hold down your laugh.
âHey mom!â He greeted her warmly.
âHi sweetie, just checking if you got into your sisters.â She spoke.
âOh yeah we got in, found quite the surprise to.â Jack laughed.
âOh really? What happened.â
Quinn turned the screen around to show your mother Will and while they were all expecting her to freak out their expressions dropped the second they heard her voice.
âWill! How are you doing honey?â She asked excitedly.
âIâm good Mrs. Hughes, how about you.â Your boyfriend smiled.
âOh I told you to knock that Mrs. Hughes off! Iâm good though honey thank you for asking.â She smiled.
âLet me find Jim really fast, heâll want to say hi.â Your mother spoke up.
You released a giggle at the shock and confusion that was written on your brotherâs faces. Their eyebrows were all pulled together as they shared a look of confusion.
âWill! How are you buddy.â Your father greeted.
âIâm good Jim, how about you?â
âIâm good son, my boys havenât given you and my girl any trouble have they?âYour father questioned.
âNo, itâs been okay.â Will laughed.
The conversation kept up for a moment but your mother ultimately decided to hang up when Jack kept whining about her not telling them you had a boyfriend.
âI canât believe they knew!â He groaned.
âI told them first, wanted to make sure they liked him.â You shrugged.
âThis is unbelievable.â He pouted and thatâs how the rest of your day continued until your mom apologized and offered to bake him his favorite homemade goods the next time she visited.

# #. DOING THEIR MAKEUP !!
featuring: nrc 1st years !! You're usually bored in Ramshackle, even while having sleepovers with the other first year boys. But then, you suddenly have an epiphany!! To do their makeup!! But how do they react?
srry I haven't posted in a while >.< I've been working on some projects that I hope you guys will enjoy! Plus winter break is always so hectic for me lol. I hope all of ur holidays went well and i hope you have a happy new year!
# #. ACE TRAPPOLA
Ace is initially sceptical at first. Why would you offer to do his makeup? It was such a random request, he couldn't help but be nervous. Were you about to prank him? Or draw a dick on his face??? Was this payback for all the times he's drawn them on you and Deuce?
It doesnt take much convincing to let you though- drawing that heart day after day gets annoying. Especially because Riddle makes sure it's perfect every morning. It'd be nice to have someone do it for him.
Ace sits in front of you, legs spread for you to sit in between. He's leaning against the couch, slouching and complaining about how long this would take. Yet, the sudden feeling of your hands on his face shuts him up. Huh. When did the two of you get so close?
Your hands brush against his face, a sort of tension in the air as you do so. The soft sensation of the makeup brush, the powder on his face, the chill of the air. It was all calming and cold. Yet he couldn't help but feel warm.
You were too close to him. That had to be it! So close he could feel your breath on his lips. Once he felt your fingertips press against the plush of lips, he flushed brightly. He hoped you didnât notice his stare.
Once you finish he smirks. That stupid, snarky, voice leaving his lips. He teases you for being so close to him, saying you must've done it on purpose. Luckily, you couldn't notice his pink cheeks under the blush you placed on him. He hums lightly, a cheeky grin forming on his face. Heâd have to let you do this again.
# #. DEUCE SPADE
Deuce had makeup on his face before, seeing things like foundation and concealer were common to find on him. His mom would put them on him, it was due to their matching complexions, she would say, giggling.
He stopped during his delinquent era, using it occasionally to draw scars and bruises to seem âcool.â Makeup reminded him of his mom. Of his time as a delinquent. Of both his bad and good decisions. Perhaps thatâs why he was afraid to agree.
Nonetheless, he accepts, albeit a bit nervously. Deuce sits on his knees, body tense as he glances around the room. You sit before him, laughing at his flushed face. You probably wouldnt even need to blush him with how red he was. Deuce was panicking, you were way too close to his face.
He's nervous and tense when your hands come to caress his cheeks. At first not even registering your touch. The feeling of his skin on yours is too much at first. Itâs like heâs about to explode with how fast his heart.
However, he soon relaxes, face still flushed and heart still pounding. But he had a dazed look in is in his eyes, so close to falling asleep. The feeling of your hands on his face, gently putting product on him. He could fall asleep to this. It was comforting.
He flushes bright red when you wake him up, stuttering apologies like he had accidentally pushed you or something. You laughed at him, ruffling his hair (that you did while he was asleep) before pressing a teasing kiss to his cheek. Now he was burning.
# #. JACK HOWL
Jack's also confused, why would you want to put makeup on him of all people? Wouldn't you prefer someone prettier? But then you comment on how pretty he looked during the fairy gala, leaving him with a wagging tail and twitching ears.
Jack still looms over you, even while sitting. So it's better to have his head in your lap, or have him sit in a chair while you do it. You chose the former option (obviously). So he lays his head in your lap, albeit awkwardly.
Your hands travel to the back of his head, slightly massaging the hair behind his ears. His eyes are closed, body tense, like any sudden movements would disrupt you. You just giggle, petting him more and telling him to loosen up.
Soon, he relaxes, melting into your touch. His heightened senses usually make things uncomfortable, especially with things on his face. Yet your touch was calming and nice. Plus the scratches did help.
It reminded him of his siblings, and how they would make him play dress up and put makeup on him for fun. All those tea parties he had to attend, and those scrutinizing hours of just sitting there seemed to be useful once in a while. His eyes open to meet your own, golden eyes gazing up at you.
You were concentrating, biting your lips slightly as you blush his cheeks. He can't help but smile at your face. Once noticing Jack's stare you smile, complementing how still he was, compared to everyone else. Would he let you do this again? Yeah. If you asked.
# #. EPEL FELMIER
Epel sighs, dramatically falling to the floor. Of course you'd want to do his makeup. Ever since coming to NRC he's had to deal with people (Vil) wanting to put products on him like he was some sorta mannequin.
But you're not Vil, and you weren't forcing it onto him. And Epel could admit the teeny tiny crush he had on you. ( Having your hands on him was like a fever dream- ) Plus you were one of his closest friends! So with the sweetest smile ever, he agrees.
He sits crossed legged, with you on your knees above him. You look down at him, lifting his head up slightly. You cup his cheek, gently running your finger down the soft flesh, they were so smooth that not even a single blackhead was there. Vil's products really worked!
Meanwhile Epel was trying so hard to not scream at the top of his lungs. He could feel your warm, minty, breath, your skin softly caressing his own. He wanted to shove his face into one of the couch pillows and scream for an eternity.
Luckily, he's able to keep his composure, and soon gets lost in the familiar feeling of makeup on his face. It was oddly comforting, or satisfying at least. But he just can't seem to let go of the butterflies in his stomach.
Seven forbid he opens his eyes again ( they've been closed this whole time ) cause as soon as he sees your focused stare he's gonna retire to the countryside. The smile you give when finishing melts his heart. When he gets back to pomefiore he's gonna scream into that pillow like there's no tomorrow.
# #. SEBEK ZIGVOLT
Sebek is yapping and refusing, saying how it's unbecoming to wear makeup as a knight. He would get messy and dirtied during his training anyway, so what was the point? You remind him that Lilia's a knight, and that he wears makeup. He shuts up...Before yelling once more.
You sigh, groaning into a couch pillow at his annoying voice. Looks like you'll have to bring out the ultimate weapon for this. You stand up, batting your lashes as you place an arm on his shoulder. "But Sebek, don't you want to look your best for Malleus?"
That gets him to shut up. He sits on the sofa, posture still perfect as he grumbles to himself, arms crossed. Yet you can see the nervous excitement on his face. It was both cute yet annoying how dedicated he was.
You stand above him, a cheeky grin on your lips as you hold the brushes to his face. He's rolling his eyes at you, telling you to hurry it up. And that you do. He doesn't care much for the feeling, finding it somewhat pleasant- in a weird way.
He's far more focused on the way your standing above him. Your eyes gaze at him, and it feels like your staring deeply into his soul. He notices how your lips pucker slightly, carefully placing lipstick on his own. Your lips look oddly nice....
GAH- you're just a dumb human!! Why was he thinking about you like this?? He's suddenly flushing a bright red. Sputtering curses and nonsense- something about you bewitching him?? You just roll your eyes, quickly finishing the job before kicking him out. At least he looks good for Waka-Sama.

đđđđ. quinn hughes ; jack hughes ; luke hughes ; nico hischier. đđđđđđđ. fluff. domesticity. đđ đđđđ. as always reblogs and feedback is appreciated and I hope you liked it <3
àŽŻ QUINN HUGHES
boyfriend quinn who stays over at your place more often than not. itâs easier for you to get ready for work since all your stuff is there, so whenever quinn gets a few days off heâll always spend them at your place.
he started getting up earlier , sneaking out of bed before your alarm even goes off and for a while you were just wondering where he went before you caught him one day.
looking outside your kitchen window you saw quinn brushing the last bit of snow off your windshield and shovel it away from your car.
â hey angel , youâre awake earlier than usual, â quinn greets, shrugging off his jacket and taking off his boots as you start the coffee pot
â yeah I was investigating where my boyfriend has been sneaking off to these last few weeks, â you say, as shuffles his way over to you and wraps his arms around your waist; burrowing his cold nose into your neck
â just getting last nightâs snow out of your way, â he mumbles against your skin, pressing kisses against your neck
â you didnât have to do that baby, but thank you. youâre spoiling me, iâm gonna get used to it and then miss it when youâre not here, â you tease, and he uses his hands on your hips to spin you around, pushing you back against the counter
â I was actually hoping youâd let me hire someone to do it for you, â quinn suggests with a hopeful tone, knowing exactly how you were gonna respond to this.
â quinn, donât start, â you absolutely hated when he spent unnecessary money on you.
â I know I know, but itâs more for my peace of mind than it is for yours really. I hate the idea of you having to go out there the morning after a storm and move all that snow by yourself. not even just the snow, what about all the freezing rain we get? what if you slip and fall? hit your head? break your wrist, again? â he emphasizes the last part and your send him a little glare in return. you slipped and broke your wrist one time and now the guy couldnât let it go.
" everyone can slip and fall quinn, " you argue and he brings his hands up to cup your jaw on either side, rubbing his thumbs over your cheeks gently
" yeah , honey , but I don't care and worry about everyone, I care and worry about you. â he retorts and you almost cave seeing the pure adoration he has for you reflected in those green eyes
â Iâve lived in Vancouver my entire life. the weather is nothing new to me, I can handle it. but iâm guessing if I donât agree to this youâre gonna keep sneaking out and doing it for me anyway?â you ask and release a little sigh when he nods in confirmation
the last thing you wanted to do was make your boyfriend get up at the crack of dawn, especially on days like today, his off days, just to clean the snow off your driveway and you knew he would if you didnât agree to this.
âfine, but not all the time. only when we get really heavy snow okay? and no more sneaking out of bed. I miss my personal little furnace when youâre not there,â you pout and he smiles before pecking your lips softly, his hands moving to your lower back
â thatâs all iâm good for huh? shovelling your snow and warming you up? â quinn teases, hands moving down even further and squeezing your butt as your hands make their way to his hair
â youâre pretty good at washing my hair too. wanna join me in the shower? â you mumble against quinnâs lips and he keeps the kiss going for a few seconds before pulling away and responding
â you know I can never say no to that, â
àŽŻ NICO HISCHIER
bf!nico who shows you love by packing you lunch in the morning cause youâre always running late and you never grab something before you go.
he noticed it one night when the two of you were doing your nightly routine that consisted of him laying with his head on your stomach, your hands going through his hair as whatever movie you decided on was playing on the screen.
âsorryâ you say sheepishly, your hand freezing in his hair when your stomach suddenly growled loudly and he glances up at you with an amused little grin
âyou hungry baby?â he asks, pressing a few soft kisses to your stomach
âyeah , I havenât eaten all day.â you accidentally let the words slip, and immediately wince after, knowing how your mother-hen boyfriend was going to react.
âyou havenât eaten all day?â nico asks exasperated , sitting up as he looks at you with a frown between his eyes, one of his hands finding its way to your stomach and rubbing soft circles as if he could sooth the hunger away
" that's not healthy schatz, " your boyfriend chastised softly, when you answer his question with a nod.
" I know, I was just running late this morning so I didn't have time to pack lunch. and I had a busy day so I couldn't run out and get something, but I'm gonna eat the entire day's worth of pasta when our dinner gets here. promise, " you respond, moving closer and kissing that frown away
" you gotta take better care of my girl, ya hear me? " nico says, pulling you onto his lap and pressing a kiss to your temple
" aye aye captain, " you answer teasingly and a giggle escapes as gently nips at your shoulder in retaliation.
but ever since then nico wakes up a little earlier and packs you lunch. of course he writes you little notes and tucks them into the bag.
and whenever he's on roadies he'll always make sure to doordash it to you along with some flowers and a note that tells you how much he misses you <3
àŽŻ JACK HUGHES
bf!jack who really does all the little things that many people may overlook but since you know from experience what itâs like to be in relationships with people who donât even do the little things, you appreciate it so much.
he always goes out of his way to clean up the apartment your share, so that it doesnât feel like you have to take care of him 24/7. in fact itâs the other way around. heâs the one who will load and unload the dishwasher. do your laundry when heâs doing his. clean up your car when heâs cleaning up his.
and yes the occasional mix up of white clothing and coloured clothing does happen, which results in a few your white tops, being a variety of different colours. mix ups that jack repeatedly apologized for and promised to replace when luke pointed it out to him one day.
â you shouldâve said something earlier, â jack pouts when he examines the seven tops laying on the bed that you got out when he asked you to show him all the shirts heâs ruined
â you were doing something nice, I didnât wanna make you feel bad by pointing it out, besides you didnât ruin them, just gave them a little make over, â you tease and laugh when jack glares at you as his cheeks turn red
â mâsorry baby. we can go shopping this weekend Iâll buy you new ones yeah? â he says, pressing a sloppy kiss to jaw as he collects your tops off the bed and puts them on the chair in the corner. a place heâll see them and remember to check the brands later.
speaking of shopping, jack loves getting you things. it was something you had to get used to at the start of your relationship as heâd often come home from roadies with a little gift for you.
itâs just sweet knowing that heâs thinking of you even when heâs far away and heâs focused on something else.
is 100% the type of boyfriend to send you money and with a text that reads âgo get yourself something nice, you deserve it x â
he makes sure to leave you a pair of his sweats and a hoodie whenever he goes on the road because he knows how much it helps you when heâs gone.
even buys you the same cologne he uses so you can spray it on the hoodie and itâll smell like him even if heâs not here.
canât convince me he doesnât do a ton of these cute little things for his girl
àŽŻ LUKE HUGHES
boyfriend luke hughes who is a bit of a nerd and collects a bunch of random trinkets and collectables.
and once he starts dating you, he just starts collecting a bunch of random things that you might need at any given moment.
need a hair tie? luke has one around his wrist, waiting with anticipation for your hair to start annoying you so he can offer it to you.
getting a random tension headache? luke has some painkillers in the glove compartment. heat pack for your cramps are also in there. along with an eyelash curler.
he even buys mini versions of your essentials (lip gloss, hand sanitizer, etc) and keeps them with him in case you forget yours.
lukeâs ass jean pocket? your miniature handbag. he literally has anything and everything youâd need in one of those back pockets. a bobby pin cause a strand of hair has been annoying you? just stick your hand in one of those back pockets and grab one.
and he loves sitting with you at your vanity while you do your makeup. and over time he learns your routine and starts handing you your productsđ„ș
â going a bit fancier today bub, can you hand me my bronzer? â you mumble while applying your concealer as luke holds out your mascara
â um â â he mutters, retracting his hand and spins your little product cabinet around, looking for a little bottle with the word âbronzerâ on it
â itâs this one, â you say, reaching and grabbing it yourself and lukeâs cheeks redden a bit in response
â sorry, â he says sheepishly and you giggle as you lean over to press a kiss against his cheek
â donât worry about it baby, â

The Party Planner
Matt Rempe x Reader
Summary: Trevor, Jack, and Luke learn they probably should knock before surprising people for their birthdayâŠ
Word Count: 2K
A/N: Gonna make this a series abt her being a lowk nepo baby
Y/Nâs life had always revolved around hockey. As the daughter of a star defenseman from the â90s, her childhood was filled with rink-side memories, locker room laughs, and endless conversations about the game. Her dad had gone to university with Ellen and even played on the Mens National Team when Ellen played for the womens. With that remaining close especially when she married Jim. They all remained close with him. Because of that, Y/N grew up with the Hughes brothersâJack, Quinn, and Lukeâfeeling more like family than friends.
As she got older, Y/Nâs life diverged from the rink. She found fame as an actress, rising through the ranks to become a household name in Hollywood. Still, no matter how bright the spotlight got, she stayed close to her roots. Her friendships with the Hughes brothers expanded to include other NHL players like Trevor Zegras and Cole Caufield. Whether it was hanging out in the off-season or cheering them on from the stands, she was the unofficial sibling of hockeyâs rising stars.
But her personal life was a little more complicated.
For the past few months, Y/N had been dating Matt Rempe, a towering enforcer with a reputation for physical play and an even bigger temper. The hockey world knew him as the guy who spent more time in the penalty box than on the ice. His aggressive playing style and frequent fights had earned him a demotion to the AHLâa fact her father and friends couldnât overlook.
âAre you sure about him?â her dad had asked more than once, skepticism clear in his voice.
Even Jack, Luke, and Trevor had their doubts. âI mean, heâs a good guy, right?â Jack had said cautiously. âBut, uhâŠmaybe not your guy.â
Yeah, like someone who doesnât punch people for fun,â Trevor added.
Y/N brushed off their concerns. They didnât know Matt like she did. Sure, he had a reputation, but beneath the rough exterior was a man who was kind, funny, and fiercely protective. He treated her like gold, and that was all that mattered. Winning over her friends and family would take time, but she was willing to wait.
As her birthday approached, Y/N opted for a quiet celebration. Between work and travel, she wanted nothing more than a simple dinner with close friends. What she didnât know was that Luke, Jack, and Trevor had cooked up a plan to surprise her.
Trevor stood in the aisle of a party supply store, holding up a pack of balloons. âIâm telling you, this is the move. We sneak into her place, decorate, and when she gets homeâbam! Surprise party.â
Luke raised an eyebrow. âHow do we know sheâs not there?â
âShe told me she was filming or something,â Jack said, tossing a bag of confetti into the cart. âWeâll be in and out. Easy.â
An hour later, armed with decorations and a cake, the trio let themselves into Y/Nâs apartment. Trevor insisted on carrying the cake, while Jack and Luke carried the rest.
âSheâs gonna love this,â Trevor said, plopping the cake box onto the kitchen counter.
Jack grinned. âYeah, if we donât screw it up.â
The three quickly got to work. Jack wrestled with an oversized banner that read HAPPY BIRTHDAY, trying to hang it over the living room window. Trevor blew up balloons, complaining about the lack of a helium tank, while Luke meticulously set up confetti-filled balloons around the coffee table.
âThis is looking pretty good,â Luke said, stepping back to admire their handiwork.
âWhere do you want the cake?â Trevor asked, balancing it precariously on one hand.
âCounter,â Jack mumbled, still wrestling with the banner. âLetâs finish before she gets home.â
âSheâs not home,â Trevor said confidently, grabbing a balloon to blow up.
But he was wrong.
Y/N was home, and she wasnât alone.
In her bedroom, she and Matt had spent the morning together, enjoying a rare, quiet day off. Theyâd slept in, laughed over shared jokes, and gotten caught up in each other in a way that made the rest of the world fade into the background.
Matt leaned back against the headboard, a lazy grin on his face. âSo, part one of your birthday present?â
âCan it be presented with people around? Or is this a private oneâ Y/N replied, running a hand through his tousled hair.
âDefinitely just us, might give your dad a heartattackâ Matt teased, pulling her closer. âCome hereâ
She rolled her eyes but couldnât help smiling. They leaned in for another kiss creating explicit faint sounds of muffled noises through the apartment.
Out in the living room, Trevor froze mid-step. âWait. Did you hear that?â
Jack, teetering on a chair, glanced over his shoulder. âHear what?â
Trevor held up a hand, signaling for silence. All three of them stilled, ears straining. From down the hallway came the faint sound of moansâdeep and unmistakably male and female.
Lukeâs face turned bright red. âOh my.â
âNo way,â Trevor whispered, a grin spreading across his face.
Jack hopped down from the chair, his expression one of sheer panic. âItâs not what you think. Maybe she left the TV on.â
Another soundâthis time softer, followed by an unmistakable thudâleft no room for doubt.
âOh, this is gold,â Trevor whispered, clutching the edge of the couch for support.
Luke groaned, burying his face in his hands. âWe have to leave. Right now.â
âAgreed,â Jack said, already gathering their decorations. âPack it up. Letâs go.â
Trevor, however, lingered. âGuys. We could justââ
âNope,â Jack snapped, grabbing Trevor by the arm. âWeâre leaving. Now.â
As they scrambled for the door, another soundâone that they really didnât want to identifyâechoed from the bedroom.
âCall Quinn,â Luke muttered as they fled into the hallway. âCall Quinn right now.â
Quinn answered on the second ring. âWhatâs up?â
Trevorâs voice came through in a near-shout. âYouâll never guess what just happened!â
âWhat did you do now?â Quinn asked, sounding suspicious.
âWe didnât do anything!â Trevor insisted. âBut we went to surprise Y/N for her birthday, and, uhâŠâ
Jack snatched the phone. âWe heard them! Her and Matt. Going at it like rabbits.â
âWhat?!â Quinn sounded half-amused, half-horrified.
Lukeâs groan was audible in the background. âIt was so bad. I donât think Iâll ever recover.â
Trevor took the phone back, grinning. âQuinn, Iâm telling you. Iâm traumatized, but it was also hilarious.â
âYou guys are idiots,â Quinn said, though there was laughter in his voice. âPlease tell me you didnât say anything.â
âWe ran out of there so fast, they probably didnât even know we were there,â Trevor assured him.
âGood,â Quinn said. âBecause if Y/N finds out, sheâs going to kill you.â
Later that day, Cole joined the group call, his laugh echoing through the line as they recounted the story.
âSheâs going to find out eventually,â Cole said, wiping tears of laughter from his eyes. âYou guys are the worst.â
Jack groaned. âDonât remind me.â
Meanwhile, back in her apartment, Y/N had no idea what had just transpiredâor the chaos that her well-meaning friends had unleashed.
Weeks after her birthday, Y/N found herself seated in a sleek studio alongside Jack, Trevor and Jamie Drysdale, appearing on Instagram live. The atmosphere was casual and lighthearted, the kind of energy Trevor thrived onâand the kind that made Y/N suspicious of what he might say.
Jamie leaned forward with a grin. âSo, Y/N, how was your birthday? Heard stuff happened but Iâve been so busy canât believe I missed it.â
Y/N smiled warmly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. âIt was great, honestly. Very low-key. Just how I like it.â
Trevor, sitting to her left, suddenly perked up, a mischievous glint in his eye. âNot that low-key,â he muttered, loud enough for everyone to hear.
Jack immediately groaned and slumped in his chair. âTrevor, no.â
âWhat?â Trevor said innocently, spreading his hands. âItâs a funny story!â
Jamieâs grin widened. âOh, I need to hear this. What happened?â
Y/N shot Trevor a warning glance, but he was already leaning into the phone, fully committed to his role as the ultimate pot-stirrer.
âSo,â Trevor began dramatically, âwe thought it would be a good idea to surprise Y/N for her birthday. You know, being the amazing friends we are. Balloons, banners, cakeâthe works. We figured weâd sneak into her apartment and have it all ready for when she got back.â
Y/N shook her head, already sensing where this was going. âTrevorâŠâ
Trevor ignored her. âThe thing is, we didnât realize she was homeâand, uh, she wasnât alone.â
Jamie burst out laughing. âYouâre kidding!â
âOh, yeah,â Trevor continued, grinning ear to ear. âWeâre mid-decoratingâLukeâs got balloons, Jackâs fighting with a bannerâand then we hearâŠâ He paused for dramatic effect, lowering his voice. âLetâs just say we heard things.â
The studio erupted in laughter. Jack buried his face in his hands, muttering, âI told him not to tell this story.â
Trevor was on a roll now. âWe froze, completely starstruck. Like, âIs that Matt?ïżœïżœ And sure enoughâŠâ He trailed off, smirking at Y/N.
Y/N, her face a mix of embarrassment and exasperation, finally spoke up. âAre you serious right now?â She turned to Jamie. âThis is Trevorâs favorite pastimeâmaking up ridiculous stories to embarrass me.â
Trevor looked affronted. âMaking up? Oh, no, this is 100% real. Ask Luke!â
Y/N rolled her eyes. âIâm telling you, itâs not true. Matt and I would neverââ She gestured sarcastically and vaguely, clearly trying to keep the conversation from getting too graphic. âThis is pure fabrication.â
Jamie leaned in, still laughing. âSo youâre saying you werenât home?â
âI was home,â Y/N admitted, her voice calm but firm. âBut Trevor has a very active imagination. Matt and I were for sure watching a movie in the bedroom.â
Jack, seeing an opportunity to back her up, jumped in. âYeah, I meanâŠwe didnât actually see anything. We just heardâŠstuff. Couldâve been the TV.â
Trevor groaned. âDonât cover for her! You know what we heard.â
Y/N crossed her arms, leaning back in her chair. âOh, please, Trevor. You probably heard muffled sounds and immediately jumped to conclusions. Matt and I were watching a crime thriller.â
Trevor shrugged, clearly enjoying himself. âHey, if the shoe fits.â
Jamie laughed so hard he had to wipe his eyes. âThis might be my favorite story of all time.â
Y/N sighed, half-laughing despite herself. âI canât believe Iâm defending my perfectly pg 13 relationship on live.â
âYouâre welcome,â Trevor said smugly.
Jack chimed in, trying to steer the conversation away from further disaster. âHonestly, the best part is how fast we ran out of there. Luke didnât even look back. We just left everythingâballoons, streamers, the whole setup. Itâs probably still there.â
Y/N groaned, burying her face in her hands. âYou guys are unbelievable.â
Jamie grinned. âWell, whether itâs true or not, it sounds like Y/Nâs birthday was very memorable.â
Trevor gave a mock toast to the phone. âTo Y/N and Mattâcongrats on keeping thingsâŠentertaining.â
Y/N gave him a playful shove, laughing despite her embarrassment. âNext time, maybe knock before you decide to play party planner.â
As the live wrapped, Y/N couldnât help but shake her head. She might never live this down, but at least life with these guys was never boring.

newt, newt x reader headcanons!!
newt, who is a sucker for any type of pet name, or just a nickname. sweet boy, darling, love, newtie - whatever it is, he's melting the second it comes out of your mouth.
he feels like his heart skips a beat whenever you kiss his forehead or just dote on him. blushy boy newt!! he's so adorable when he blushes. denying whatever you're saying, he's looking the other way when you point it out just to tease him. but he knows - and you do, too - that he's so obviously red like a strawberry.
you're never getting rid of him if you offer to cuddle. he's especially clingy in the morning, right after he wakes up - or, in some cases, when he stays up all night, and is grumpy because he couldn't rest, which somehow makes him even clingier.
newt would have a horrible sleep schedule, with all the work, as the second-in-command. like mentioned before, he's cranky when he doesn't get enough sleep.
newt loves it when you play with his hair. it's just something about how gentle you're being, it's making him feel so safe, so cared for.
he gets so embarrassed when his voice cracks. it's adorable, hearing the oh so cool and strong second-in-command's scratchy voice in the mornings or when he'd get sick, but he personally hates it.
daisies are his favourite flower, either to keep or give.
newt, since he's a track-hoe, always makes sure to bring you something from the gardens - flowers, fruit, veggies, anything he can plant and give to you. newt x runner!reader headcanons
newt would hate that you're a runner. he, as a former runner, despises alby for making you a runner. he hates it, he really does, even though he knows you're capable of running in the maze for hours, without getting hurt, he still can't help but worry. he'd watch the maze from afar, waiting for you to come back with the other runners. he doesn't believe in god or isn't religious in any way, but he's still praying for you to make it out safely.
he'd hug you tightly, and make sure you're okay after your run. if you got hurt, he'd help you to the med-jack's hut, and then take care of you. newt x med-jack!reader headcanons
newt would find a way to visit you, even if he was supposed to be working in the gardens.
either offering to walk a track-hoe that got hurt, or him being the one that was hurt, specifically asking for you to tend to him. not that he didn't trust the other two med-jacks, but he prefered you to take care of his injuries, so he could talk to you.
when you'd hear jeff or clint tell you that newt was here, you'd always get worried. why? because you still haven't forgotten the 'accident' in the maze when he broke his leg. you were the one who patched him up, after all. mind racing, you secretly hoped he didn't attempt again, because then you wouldn't know how to react. would you forgive yourself? would you not? (i'm so sorry!!)
thankfully - sort of -, newt was only feeling unwell, or just had a minor injury that would heal in a week or two.
he'd praise about how you're so smart when you wouldn't hesitate to answer a medical question. newt would then ask you about your day as you tend to him, watching you or your work.
this is short, i know - i'll add more stuff, i swear!!

Unveiled
Masterlist || Ao3
AN:Â This has been on my to-write list forever...hope you guys like it!
Pairing:Â Aaron Hotchner x Female Reader
Word Count:Â 4k
Tags/Warnings:Â Mild Injury, Mentions of Field Work, Secretive Behavior, Slight Jealousy, Light Swearing, Mentions of Emotional Vulnerability, Secret Relationship, Domestic Fluff, Marriage, Canon-Typical Themes.
Sypnosis:Â You and Aaron Hotchner have always been experts at keeping work and personal life separateâso much so that the team doesnât even know youâre together, let alone married. But secrets can only stay hidden for so long, especially when small details start catching everyoneâs attention.
The BAU bullpen buzzes with the usual hum of activity. Cases to close, profiles to refine, and endless paperwork to finish. You settle into your desk with a practiced air of nonchalance, tugging the sleeve of your blazer slightly to cover the delicate wedding band now gracing your finger.
The slim band--simple, not flashy, was perfect for both your personality and the line of work you were in. You could count the times on one hand how often JJ had to get her ring fixed or cleaned from the damage being in the field caused. You did not need diamonds or an extravagant engagement or wedding. You had everything and more with the man who had the matching band upstairs.Â
You glance across the bullpen, up to Aaronâs office. Heâs buried in a stack of reports, his expression unreadable, as always. His left hand is occupied with a red pen, and the thin gold band is barely visible but there nonetheless.
Your lips twitch into a subtle smile as you recall the whirlwind of the weekend: the drive to a secluded courthouse, the soft vows spoken just for each other, the quiet, private moment that bound you and Aaron together in a way only you two could understand--with Jack present, of course. Eloping had been a mutual decision, spurred on by years of hiding, countless near-misses at being caught, and the realization that you were done living for anyone but each other.
Ever the lawyer Aaron was and ever the practical woman you were, you knew marriage was essentially just paperwork. Personally, it did mean a lot more to the both of you in terms of commitment, so thatâs why you both decided to do it on a whim, to begin with, but there wasnât a need for the white dress or all the bells and whistles that you both found overkill. The slim gold bands were enough. The vows were enough. The love you shared was more than enough.
Now, the fun part began.
You turn back to your desk, shuffling through files with purpose as the team begins trickling in. The usual morning energy hums around you, but itâs impossible to ignore the slight thrill of knowing what youâre both hidingâand knowing it wonât be hidden for much longer.
âHey, Y/N!â Penelopeâs voice cuts through the air, cheerful as ever. âDoesnât this day feel extra special for some reason? Like the worldâs just radiating good vibes?â
You let out a soft laugh, shaking your head. âMaybe itâs just you, Penelope. Youâre the good vibes.â
She beams, clearly pleased with the answer, before skipping off to annoy Morgan. You catch Aaronâs eye for the briefest second, and the corner of his mouth twitchesâa rare, subtle sign of amusement.
The team trickles in gradually. Rossi strolls past your desk, sharp as ever, with his coffee in hand. His sharp eyes flicker to your hand, and he slows just slightly, one eyebrow quirking upward.
âNice ring, kid,â he says, voice casual but curious. âI didnât know you were seeing anyone serious enough settle down.â
Your breath hitches for a fraction of a second, but you quickly recover, offering him an easy shrug. âI like to keep my private life... private.â
Rossi had been the hardest over the years to keep at bay. Somehow, it became second nature to be soâŠsecluded in your personal life. It wasnât that you or Aaron were not sharing with the team, but you never felt the reason to shake things up. You, with your budding career, and him, with his reputation as a leader, why change that?Â
Rossi hums thoughtfully, clearly filing that information away for later. You glance over at Aaron again, his focus still trained on the file in front of him. His poker face is maddeningly perfect, but you know heâs listening intently.
It isnât too long after that a new case brings you to the round table room. You canât help but feel that there is still an unspoken buzz in the air. Rossiâs comment made you jumpier than youâd like. Not that youâre hiding anything, but the idea of changeâŠmakes you uneasy.Â
Aaron sits to your right, perfectly composed as always, flipping through the latest case files. His left hand holds a pen, the thin gold band on his ring finger catching the light with every movement. You glance at it, a quiet rush of warmth filling your chest. Your husband. Itâs still a surreal thought. You could feel the faintest hint of amusement radiating from him, even if his face betrayed nothing. The quiet thrill of your secret filled the air between you.
You refocus, nodding at something JJ says about an update from the field office, but you can feel Rossiâs eyes on you. Heâs seated across the table, his sharp gaze catching every detail. A slow, knowing smile creeps across his face, but he says nothingâyet.
âAnyway,â JJ continues, looking up from her notes, âweâll need to coordinate with local law enforcement to finalize those interviews.â She glances over, and her eyes snag on your hand mid-gesture. Her words falter for a split second before she quickly recovers. âMorgan, youâll take the lead.â
Morgan nods, clearly only half-listening. His focus has also shiftedâto Aaron, more specifically. His brow furrows as he leans back in his chair, arms crossed. âHotch, you got something new going on?â His tone is casual, but his grin betrays his curiosity. âThatâs one hell of an accessory youâre sporting.â
Aaron doesnât miss a beat, his voice calm and measured. âI wasnât aware my ring warranted commentary, Morgan.â
Morgan smirks, glancing at Rossi. âOh, come on, man. You walk in here wearing a wedding band out of nowhere? You canât expect us not to say something.â
Rossi leans forward slightly, his fingers steepled under his chin. âAnd here I thought I was the only one paying attention,â he says, his voice rich with amusement. âSeems our unit chief had quite the weekend.â
The rest of the team snaps to attention. JJâs head jerks toward Aaron, her eyes widening as she looks between him and you. Penelope, sitting at the far end of the table, gasps audibly.
âWait,â Penelope exclaims, her voice rising in pitch. âYouâre married now? When did this happen? Whoâs the lucky lady? Why wasnât I invited?â
âIâm not the only one,â Rossi interjects smoothly, his gaze now fixed on you. âLooks like Y/N had a busy weekend, too.â He nods toward your left hand.
You glance at Aaron, a silent exchange passing between you. His lips twitch into the faintest of smilesâso brief itâs almost imperceptible. But you catch it.
Penelopeâs sharp intake of breath breaks your focus. âWait a second,â she says, leaning forward, her gaze darting between you and Aaron. âY/N, is that... a wedding ring?â
Your heart skips a beat, but you keep your voice steady as you respond. âWhat about it?â
Morgan leans back in his chair, crossing his arms and smirking. âHold up,â he says, nodding toward Aaronâs hand again.Â
All eyes turn toward Aaron now. He calmly finishes jotting a note before closing the folder in front of him. âIs this relevant to the case?â he asks, his tone perfectly neutral.
Rossi tilts his head, his sharp gaze bouncing between you and Aaron. His lips curl into a knowing smile. âInteresting,â he says slowly, leaning back in his chair. âVery interesting.â
JJâs brow furrows as she glances between the two of you. Her eyes widen slightly as realization begins to dawn. âNo,â she says softly, more to herself than anyone else. Then louder, âWait a secondâare you twoâ?â
You glance at Aaron, and he gives you the slightest nod. With a small sigh, you lean back in your chair and let the corner of your mouth lift into a smirk. âYou really donât know?â you ask, your voice laced with amusement.
Aaron follows up, his tone carrying a faint edge of dry humor. âI thought you were better profilers than that.â
The room goes completely silent as the pieces click into place. Emily gasps, pointing between you and Aaron. âNo. No way. You two? Are you telling me youâre married to each other?â
Morgan bursts out laughing, leaning forward with his elbows on the table. âYouâre telling me youâve been dating this whole time, and none of us knew? I donât believe it. You two are way too good at this.â
Penelopeâs jaw drops. âWhat?! Oh my God, I feel so betrayed! How could you keep this from me? I shouldâve been your bridesmaidâor at least in the loop!â
Aaron raises a hand, his calm authority cutting through the chaos in the room. âWe made the decision to keep our relationship private to maintain professionalism,â he begins, his tone firm but warm. His eyes sweep the room, landing briefly on each team member before continuing. âThis team works best when there are no distractions, and we both agreed that our relationship couldnât interfere with that.â
He pauses, glancing at you. Thereâs a moment of silent understanding between you before you speak up, your voice steady but lighter than his. âIt wasnât about hiding, exactly. It was about making sure we stayed focused on the work that matters. But,â you add with a small, wry smile, âwe eventually realized we didnât need to keep it a secret anymore.â
Aaron picks up where you leave off, his tone softening slightly. âEspecially now that weâre married,â he says, letting the weight of the words settle over the room. âWe didnât make this decision lightly, and we both value the integrity of this team above all else. That hasnât changed, and it wonât.â
The room falls quiet again, the team absorbing the revelation. You can see the wheels turning in their minds as they piece together the years of subtle interactions, quiet glances, and the seamless way you and Aaron have worked together all this time.
JJ breaks the silence first, her expression shifting from shock to a warm smile. âWell,â she says softly, âcongratulations. You both deserve to be happy.â
Morgan leans forward, his grin widening. âAlright, Iâll give you two creditâthis is the best-kept secret Iâve seen in a long time. But man, Hotch, youâve got some explaining to do. Married? Without us knowing? Iâm hurt.â
Rossi chuckles, shaking his head. âI shouldâve seen it sooner,â he says, his tone amused but approving. âStill, I canât say Iâm surprised. You two make sense.â
Reid almost looks relieved, âI thought I was the only one who didnât pick up on things like this.âÂ
Penelope is the last to recover, her hands flying to her cheeks. âOh my gosh! This is so romantic!â She gestures wildly between you and Aaron. âSecret agents in love, sneaking off to get marriedâitâs like a spy movie! Please tell me there are pictures. I need pictures. And cake! Why isnât there cake?â
You laugh, finally letting yourself relax a little as you glance at Aaron. He gives you a small, almost imperceptible smileâone the others might miss, but you recognize instantly. Beneath the table, his pinky brushes against yours, a subtle reminder that youâre in this together.
âAlright,â Aaron says, his commanding tone bringing the room back into focus. âWe still have work to do, and I expect everyone to stay focused on the case.â
Morgan leans back in his chair, still grinning. âYeah, yeah, boss. But this conversation isnât over.â
Rossi smirks. âDonât worry, Derek. Something tells me thereâs more to this story, and weâll get the details eventually.â
You exchange a knowing glance with Aaron as the team begins to settle down, still buzzing with excitement. Itâs out in the open nowâno more hiding, no more secrets. Just you, Aaron, and the life youâve quietly built together finally shared with the people who matter most.
The case wraps up after a grueling few days. The unsub is in custody, and while the tension of the investigation still lingers, the mood on the jet back home is noticeably lighter. The team is scattered around the cabinâMorgan and Rossi are in their usual seats, discussing the finer points of profiling techniques, while Spencer is engrossed in a book.
You find yourself seated with JJ and Emily at the small table near the galley. Emily is flipping through a magazine, and JJ is scrolling on her phone, but their attention shifts to you when you pull out your phone and casually unlock it.
âYou know,â you say, leaning back in your chair with a small grin, âsince you all feel so left out, I figured Iâd show you some photos from the elopement.â
Emilyâs eyes snap up from her magazine, and JJâs face lights up with interest. âFinally!â Emily exclaims, leaning in. âI thought you were going to make us beg.â
JJ nudges your arm. âIâve been dying to see these. Penelopeâs already planning a post-wedding celebration for you two.â
You chuckle and swipe to the photo album. The first image you show is a candid oneâa shot of you and Aaron outside the courthouse, his hand resting gently on your back, both of you mid-laugh. JJ lets out a soft âAww,â and Emily whistles low under her breath.
âLook at you two,â Emily says, her tone teasing but fond. âWho knew Hotch could look so... human?â
You laugh, swiping to the next picture, a close-up of your intertwined hands with your wedding bands gleaming in the sunlight. âHeâs full of surprises,â you quip.
As you share a few more photos, some with Jack, some Jack actually took of you and Aaron.
Aaron walks by, a cup of coffee in hand. He pauses when he notices the three of you huddled around your phone. âAre you showing them the photos?â he asks, his voice calm but tinged with curiosity.
âOf course,â you reply, looking up at him with a playful grin. âThey demanded proof.â
Aaron hums thoughtfully, his gaze softening as he leans slightly over the table. âYou should show them the photo from last year. The one from the Amalfi Coast.â Thereâs an amused glint in Aaronâs eyeâs that makes you want to roll your own, but you satisfy everyone anyway.
JJ blinks, looking between the two of you. âWait. The Amalfi Coast? Together?â
Emily narrows her eyes, clearly piecing something together. âHold on. Didnât you both take time off around the same time last summer?â
Before you can answer, Reid speaks up from his seat across the cabin, his voice laced with disbelief. âYou mean the trip to Italy? I remember you both mentioned visiting Italy, but I never connected the dots that you were there together.â
Morgan, catching the tail end of the conversation, leans over the back of his seat. âHold upâthatâs what you were doing last year? You two were off in Italy, sipping wine and living the good life, and we had no idea?â
Rossi chuckles from across the cabin, shaking his head. âItâs impressive, really. I mean, a courthouse wedding is one thing, but hiding a vacation together? Thatâs next-level stealth.â
Emily laughs, gesturing toward your phone. âAlright, show us this Amalfi Coast picture. I need to see the evidence.â
With a shake of your head, you scroll back to the album from the trip. You find the photo Aaron mentionedâa picture of the two of you standing on a sunlit terrace overlooking the ocean, the breeze catching your hair while Aaron stands beside you, looking uncharacteristically relaxed in a linen shirt. You hand the phone over, and JJ and Emily lean in closer.
âThis is so unfair,â JJ says, shaking her head with a smile. âYou two look like you walked out of a travel magazine.â
âYeah, I canât believe we didnât put this together sooner,â Emily adds, smirking. âI mean, Hotch in a linen shirt? That shouldâve been the giveaway.â
Aaron shakes his head with a faint chuckle, taking a sip of his coffee. âI told you we were better at keeping secrets than they gave us credit for.â
You grin, leaning back in your seat and crossing your arms. âWell, now you all know. Mystery solved.â
Reid looks up from his book, still shaking his head. âI feel like I shouldâve noticed. The behavioral cues were there...â
Morgan snorts. âDonât beat yourself up, kid. They had us all fooled.â
JJ hands your phone back, smiling warmly. âWell, for the record, Iâm glad we know now. You two really are perfect together.â
Aaron catches your eye from where heâs standing, his expression soft but steady. Itâs a look that speaks volumes, and you know youâll both carry this momentâthis quiet joy of finally being yourselves with your teamâfor a long time.
As the jet hums softly beneath you, you settle into the warmth of the conversation, knowing that the life youâve built with Aaron is now shared with the people who matter most.
When the jet touches down, and the team unloads into the bullpen, you barely have time to gather your things before Penelope corners you and Aaron. Sheâs been dropping comments all case longâabout needing details, demanding photos, and lamenting her exclusion from what sheâs now referring to as The Most Romantic Secret Ever Keptâbut this time, thereâs no escape.
âAlright, you two!â Penelope exclaims, her hands on her hips as she plants herself in front of you both. Her eyes sparkle with determination. âIâve been patient. Iâve waited through an entire case, and now you owe me. Spill it. All of it. When, where, how? I need the full story.â
Aaron glances at you, his lips twitching in faint amusement. âI told you this would happen,â he murmurs under his breath.
You chuckle softly and look at Penelope. âFine,â you say, holding up your hands in mock surrender. âWeâll tell youâbriefly.â
Penelopeâs expression brightens instantly. âFinally!â she squeals, clapping her hands together. âOkay, start from the beginning.â
Aaron crosses his arms, his authoritative posture intact but his tone softer than usual. âIt started a few years ago,â he begins, glancing at you. âNot long after you joined the team.â
You nod, picking up the thread. âIt wasnât planned. We just... clicked. We kept things professional at first, but over time, it became harder to ignore. Eventually, we decided it was worth exploring, but we agreed to keep it private.â
Penelopeâs eyes are wide as saucers. âYears? You mean to tell me youâve been dating for years, and I had no idea?â
Aaron tilts his head slightly. âWe were careful,â he says simply. âWe didnât want our relationship to interfere with the team dynamic or the work we do.â
âAnd we didnât think anyone would benefit from knowing,â you add. âIt was easier to keep it between us.â
âBut how?â Penelope presses, leaning closer. âI mean, weâre profilers! How did you manage to keep it under wraps?â
You exchange a knowing look with Aaron before answering. âWeâve always been good at separating our personal and professional lives,â you say. âAt work, we focused on the cases. Outside of work... we had each other.â
Aaron nods. âWe were deliberate about our interactions here, and we made sure not to let anything slip.â
Penelope looks genuinely impressed, though sheâs clearly not done grilling you. âSo, no one ever suspected? Not even Rossi?â
You laugh. âOh, Rossi definitely had his suspicions,â you admit. âBut he never said anything outright.â
Aaron smirks faintly. âI think he enjoyed watching the rest of you try to figure it out.â
Penelope groans dramatically, throwing her hands in the air. âI canât believe this. You two are like... spy-level secretive. I donât know whether to be mad at you or impressed.â
âBe impressed,â you say with a grin. âItâs less stressful.â
Penelope narrows her eyes at both of you, then sighs. âFine. But only because youâre ridiculously adorable together. And because Iâm still planning a post-wedding party. Youâre not getting out of that.â
Aaron shakes his head with a faint smile. âI wouldnât expect anything less.â
With that, Penelope finally relents, though she shoots you both one last look that clearly says sheâs not done asking questions. As she flounces off to her office, you exhale a soft laugh, turning to Aaron.
âWell,â you say lightly, âthat went better than I expected.â
Aaronâs gaze softens, and he leans in slightly, his voice low. âSheâll be back.â
You laugh, shaking your head as the two of you head toward your offices. Itâs out in the open nowâyour story, your love, your life together. And though youâve enjoyed the secrecy, thereâs something freeing about finally being able to share it with your team.
After a long day and an even longer week, the bullpen finally clears out. The soft hum of computers and the faint buzz of the overhead lights are the only sounds left as you and Aaron prepare to leave. You gather your things, adjusting your bag on your shoulder as he approaches with his jacket draped over his arm.
âYou ready?â he asks, his voice low and steady.
You nod, falling into step beside him as the two of you head toward the elevator. Thereâs an unspoken ease between you; the weight of secrecy finally lifted. When the elevator doors close, Aaron glances at you, his lips quirking into the faintest smirk.
âYou know,â he says, his tone laced with quiet humor, âwe donât have to stagger our exits anymore.â
You laugh softly, shaking your head. âNo more waiting ten minutes so no one sees us leaving together?â
âOr arriving,â he adds. âNo more separate cars or pretending to run into each other in the parking lot. Weâve been doing that for years. I think itâs become muscle memory.â
The thought makes you smile as the elevator dings, and you step out into the cool night air. You walk together to the car, and the rhythmic click of your shoes is the only sound. When you slide into the passenger seat, and Aaron starts the engine, the hum of the car fills the silence.
As he pulls onto the road, you glance over at him, the city lights casting fleeting shadows across his face. âDo you ever think about all the close calls?â you ask, your voice quiet but teasing.
Aaronâs lips twitch in amusement. âAll the time. Like that day you got hurt in the field.â
You know exactly which day he means. Itâs burned into your memory as much as his. âYou mean when I dislocated my shoulder chasing that suspect?â
He nods, his tone softening. âI remember standing over you, trying to keep it together while the EMTs worked. I wanted to pick you up and carry you to the ambulance myself, but I couldnât. All I could do was stay professional and keep my voice steady.â
You smile faintly, your heart tightening at the memory. âI remember how calm you sounded, even though I could see it in your eyes. You hated every second of it.â
Aaron glances at you briefly, his eyes filled with something deeper. âIt was one of the hardest things Iâve ever done. Morgan even asked me later why I seemed so shaken. I had to play it off as just another day in the field.â
You let out a soft laugh, shaking your head. âWell, you were convincing enough. I think I was more worried about you slipping than about my shoulder.â
He lets out a low chuckle, his focus on the road. âThat wasnât the only close call. Remember Kansas City? The hotel?â
âOh God,â you groan, covering your face with one hand. âI thought for sure Morgan would figure it out. He knocked on my door right after you left.â
Aaron smirks, glancing at you briefly. âWhat did you tell him?â
âI said I was up late working on the profile,â you reply, grinning. âWhich wasnât a lie, technically. I just left out the part where you were with me.â
Aaron shakes his head, amusement glinting in his dark eyes. âHow about all the times we shared a room and no one noticed?â
You laugh, sinking back into your seat. âThat was a miracle. Every single time. Can you imagine if anyone went looking for you in your empty room?âÂ
âOr walked past at the wrong moment,â Aaron adds, his voice tinged with humor. âI canât believe we managed to pull that off.â
You grin at him, your tone teasing. âWe probably wasted so much of the Bureauâs money on extra rooms we didnât need.â
His lips twitch into a smirk. âI think weâve earned it, considering the hours weâve put in.â
You let out a soft laugh, shaking your head. âStill, we were playing with fire. Like that time Rossi knocked on your door in Denver. I thought for sure heâd notice something.â
Aaron chuckles, his tone more amused now. âRossi always noticed. He just didnât say anything.â
âProbably because he enjoyed watching everyone else flounder,â you reply with a grin. âHe was always a little too smug.â
The car falls into a comfortable silence as the memories wash over you bothâthe near-misses, the stolen moments, the countless times you had to act like nothing more than colleagues. Now, with the secrecy behind you, the memories feel more like a badge of honor than a burden.
Aaron pulls into the driveway, turning off the engine before glancing at you. His expression is soft, his voice quieter now. âNo more sneaking around,â he says. âNo more separate cars or extra rooms.â
You smile, reaching for his hand. âJust us.â
The two of you walk inside, your home warm and inviting as you settle in for the night. The conversation drifts back to the little things you had to do to keep your relationship under wrapsâthe cover stories, the excuses, the times you almost slipped. But the laughter and warmth you share now make it all worth it.
As the night deepens, you both revel in the freedom of no longer having to hide. Itâs just you and Aaron, building the life youâve always wanted⊠with Jackâtogether, out in the open, and exactly as it should be.

âBaby?âÂ
Silence.
âBabe?â
Silence.
âLuke?â
Silence.Â
âAre you awake?â
âNo.â
You let out a small huff as you shifted once again, like you had been doing for the last fifteen minutes. Luke had tried to ignore it, tried to pretend that he was already asleep and that he didnât notice the way you kept wiggling around. But it was hard to ignore it when you were practically shaking the whole bed every twenty seconds.Â
âStop being rude,â you muttered as you turned your body so you were facing him. You tucked one arm under your pillow, the other picking at the duvet in the space between you both. âI canât fall asleep.â
His brows furrowed together slightly, even if his eyes were still closed. âYou good?â
âI donât know,â you whispered honestly.Â
You didnât know why you felt so off. Everything seemed fine. In fact, everything seemed perfect. This was the first year you were invited to join your boyfriend at the lakehouse. You had met Luke just before last summer had started, near the end of the hockey season at a coffee shop. It felt like a scene written out of a book or a romcom, with him rushing out as you were rushing inâonly to collide and have iced coffees split over both of you.Â
It had been an awkward but wholesome meeting. Luke was fumbling over his words, his cheeks burning pink and his brain seeming unable to properly work with a pretty girl right in front of him. You found it endearing, especially when Jack had opened his window to yell at his brother to hurry up before they were late to morning skate.Â
Luke had blurted out, asking for your number and it had been a dream ever since.Â
You spent all of last summer texting and calling and getting to know each other. When he came back to Jersey, you met up at the same coffee shop for your first date, which only led to many, many more. And when summer rolled around again, Luke had asked for you to come with him and his friends to the lakehouse, and you had accepted.Â
The lakehouse was a dream. It was the perfect summer destination, his friends were amazing and his family were even better. You got along with his mother, you bonded with his father, you laughed with his brothers, you joked with his friends. It was perfect, and yet you were still unable to wave off the tightness in your chest that hadnât left.Â
And now, lying in the dark room after a long day out on the lake, you should have fallen asleep the second your head hit the pillow like Luke was fighting to do right now. Instead, you were squirming and rolling around and trying to shake off the weirdest urge to cry.
âCâmere,â Luke murmured as he opened his arms, giving you a total of three seconds to react before he was wrapping his arms around you and pulling you into his chest. âTalk to me.âÂ
âMâsorry, you were about to sleep,â you muttered, your cheek pressed against his chest and it helped a little. âWe can talk in the morning.â
âI donât wanna sleep if youâre not okay,â Luke said with a frown on his face. He blinked his eyes open, the bleariness still there as he looked down at you. âWhatâs going on in that pretty head?âÂ
You sighed, your arms winding around his torso as you settled on top of him. âJust feelâŠweird.â
âWeird?â
âWeird,â you repeated with a small shrug. âItâs probably nothing. Iâm just getting in my own head.â
âBaby, donât do that,â Luke grumbled, softly pinching your hip in retaliation as you squealed softly.Â
âThis helps,â you reassured him. âBeing with you helps.â
âIt does?â He questioned, sounding adorably clueless and flattered, and it made your lips twitch.
âYeah, it helps being close to you,â you said to him, settling happily as his arms tightened around you. âYou make me feel safe.âÂ
âOh,â he murmured before he smiled a little. âYou make me feel safe as well.â
âIâll be fine, Luke,â you murmured, pressing a chaste kiss on his chest just where his heart was beating. âIâll fall asleep now.âÂ
âYeah?â
âYeah.â
But you didnât. Because despite feeling safer in Lukeâs arms, it didnât stop the thoughts whirling around in your brain. It eased the tightness in your chest, but not the chaos in your head. And despite thinking you werenât being obvious, Luke could feel how tense and rigid you were in his arms. He knew you werenât fine. He knew you were getting in your own head. And he wanted to help.Â
âMmph,â you let out a surprised noise when Luke rolled over, the comforting weight of his body on top of you as he lifted his head up. âLukeââ
âDo you trust me?â He asked suddenly, cutting you off.
âOf course,â you breathed out before nodding. âOf course I do.â
âJust relax fâme then, okay?â He muttered out sleepily as his hands squeezed your hips before one hand started to slip beneath the waistband of your shorts.Â
âLukeââ You started again, but he swiftly quieted you with a kiss. It was embarrassing how quickly you melted into his embrace, feeling your stomach dip with excitement as his tongue worked its way into your mouth as his large palm cupped your cunt.
âJust need to get that brain of yours to calm down,â he murmured between slow, messy kisses as his thumb pressed against your clit in slow circles. âNeed you to just lay there and look pretty, okay?â
âOkay,â you breathed out, your eyes fluttering shut as his kisses slowly trailed down to your neck.
âGood girl,â he praised in a low voice, pushing your downs until they were abandoned somewhere by the foot of the bed. His fingers softly glided through your folds, humming in delight when he felt you already dripping for him. âThatâs my girl.âÂ
âLuke,â you whispered, so aware that the house was silent and that people were asleep, but so uncaring when your boyfriend slowly worked you open. âPlease.â
âI know, babe, I know,â he murmured in a hushed voice. âJust gotta trust me, okay?â
âMhmm,â you whined, a little breathy and high-pitched, and it made his cock twitch.
You felt like you were already spiralling with his fingers curled inside you, slowly thrusting in and out as he hit spots that your own fingers never seemed to reach. You could feel yourself getting closer and closerâand then he pulled out.
âNo,â you cried out with a whimper, glossy eyes finding his in the dark as he chuckled softly. âWhyââ
âShhh, gonna fill you up, babe,â he assured you, silencing you once again with a kiss as his free hand worked his cock out of his boxers. âNo need to cry about it.âÂ
Your mouth fell open with a silent scream as he slowly pushed inside you, so big and deep and overwhelming that it was hard to focus on anything except the pleasurable burn of him stretching you out. Your nails dug into his skin, legs wrapped around his waist to keep him from moving away and it was hard to think about anything else other than himhimhimhimhimâ
âThere we go,â he groaned, his face nuzzled into the crook of your neck as he laid on top of you. âTakinâ me so well, baby.â
âLuke,â you breathed out.Â
âShhh, just gonna stay like this,â he told you in a whispered voice, his hands tracing up and down your sides. âJust gonna keep you full, okay? Weâre gonna sleep like this tonight.â
Your eyes clenched shut as he thrusted a little deeper inside you. âButââ
âNuh uh, just like this, pretty girl,â he murmured, kissing the pulse point on your neck. âThink you can do that fâme?â
âYeah,â you nodded, clinging onto him.
âAtta girl,â he hummed. âGonna keep you safe, okay?â
âYou always do,â you retorted instantly.
âExactly, baby. Go to sleep, Iâve got you.â
âGoodnight, Luke.â
âGoodnight, baby.â
