hi, idk if you’re taking requests rn, but thomas gibson’s new post has got me thinking of hotchniss on vacation, and i can’t help but think of emily taking photos of hotch like that (and the feral thoughts she’d have bc let’s be real, we know she’d have those too 😭)

hiiii bestie <3

Well, I ended up getting a few requests like this...so here we are. It naturally turned into smut (as it should have I mean...LOOK at those photos of TG.)

I hope you enjoy this!

Emily and Aaron go to the beach.

Based on the photos Thomas Gibson posted of him with a surfboard, sending the fandom feral.

Read over on Ao3, or below the cut

The last time they’d gone on vacation just the two of them was on their honeymoon.

Emily liked to joke that didn’t even count since she’d been four months pregnant at the time. The baby that ended up being their son, Oscar, making her nauseous enough on some days that she’d barely been able to leave their suite for entirely different reasons to why she’d hoped they’d stay cooped up inside.

Ever since then, any trips they took were done as a family, precious time together that all of them she looked back on with a smile. Hours in queues at DisneyWorld that seemed endless at the time, or the hot sun beating down on them at family-friendly resorts as she made sure Oscar and Jack kept their hats on to protect them from it, that she never thought she’d look back on fondly.

It was Aaron who suggested they go somewhere without the boys for a long weekend, some much-needed time just the two of them. Something that was difficult to find in amongst Emily’s job, the boy’s different activities and the classes Aaron taught at the academy. She hadn’t hesitated for a second when she agreed, finding that she missed her husband even though he was right there next to her.

Jack had encouraged it, the 18-year-old happy to look after his younger brother for the weekend. If he was any other kid, if he wasn’t half Aaron, Emily would have been worried at the prospect of leaving them without any other supervision. The teenager was beyond sensible, to the point where Emily had, more than once, tried to convince him to break the rules. A glint in her eyes that matched her smile as she told him it would be okay to break curfew just once.

She knew they’d have the opposite issue with Oscar. That while he looked exactly like Aaron, the 11-year-old almost his father’s twin in comparison to photos of him at the same age, he was all her. His wildness ran deep, set free by the lack of expectations that had partially dampened it in her when she was young. It sometimes felt like she was looking at what she could have been like if her childhood had been different, if she’d known she was loved. Something her boys had never had to doubt.

“Shall we head to the beach?”

She smiles as she looks up at her husband, the sight of him so relaxed causing her belly to flip. His black t-shirt and swim shorts make him look a little younger despite the salt and pepper flecks throughout his floppy hair and the beard he was letting grow just for her, his razor left on the bathroom counter at home upon her insistence.

She stands up from the couch she’d settled on and wraps her arms around him, settling into his embrace as he pulls her closer, stamping a kiss against her lips. She smiles as she pulls back, her teeth sinking into her lower lip as her hand sneaks under the neckline of his t-shirt, her warm fingers against his skin making him shiver, his grip around her waist tightening.

“Or…we could just stay here,” she suggests, leaning forward and kissing him again, “Make the most of our time alone.”

He chuckles, his hand shifting from her waist to her lower back, smiling as she arches towards him, “You’re insatiable.”

Their sex life had always been healthy, the years that they’d been together doing nothing to diminish it, nothing to make the fire between them flicker out into a puff of smoke. It was something they both loved, something they both made time for. This weekend had so far consisted of mostly staying in bed in their beach house rental, only leaving for food in between rounds and snuggling in the chair on the deck together.

She smiles and kisses him again, “For you? Always.” She says, knowing he was just the same, that nothing had changed how much they were attracted to each other. She’d been self-conscious after she had Oscar, the changes to her body, specifically the way the scar on her abdomen had stretched, making her doubt herself. For weeks longer than her doctor said she’d needed, the longest they’d ever gone without having sex, she’d put him off. The exhaustion of parenting a newborn a convenient excuse until Aaron asked what was wrong. He was nothing but understanding as she tearfully explained how she felt, how she didn’t feel attractive anymore.

He’d spent hours proving her wrong. Taking her apart again and again to show her that she’d always been beautiful to him, and she always would be.

“As tempting as that offer is,” he says, smiling as he tucks some of her grey hair behind her ear, “I would like to go surfing at least once whilst we’re here,” he says, kissing her cheek, “I promised the boys I’d let them know what it was like.”

It was something he had picked up on one of their first vacations as a family. Oscar was still small, a tiny baby they’d had to keep an eye on so he didn’t eat fistfuls of sand, and Jack had watched the surfers from his place on the shoreline, fascinated by them. He asked Aaron if they could do it too, and he’d found someone who taught beginners lessons the next morning. Emily had watched, anxiety she hadn’t known existed before she was a mom bubbling in her chest as she held a sleeping Oscar, and loved that it was something they bonded over. It became something Aaron and Jack did together whenever they went somewhere, and Oscar joined them when she was old enough.

Emily hums and makes a show of rolling her eyes, “You’re lucky that it’s incredibly attractive to me when you’re being a good father.”

“I always feel lucky with you,” he replies, wiggling his eyebrow at her and she shakes her head, biting the inside of her cheek in a failed attempt to dampen her smile.

“You’re ridiculous,” she replies, stamping a kiss to his lips before she pulls back, “Come on then, I’ll read my book and you can go surfing.”

He wraps his arm around her shoulders as they head for the back of the beach house, the large French doors leading to the porch and then the beach itself, “You don’t want to join me?”

She laughs wryly and shakes her head, “I’d rather sit on the beach and look pretty, and take pictures of you looking pretty whilst you surf.”

He laughs and reaches for the surfboard that he was keeping on the back porch, “As long as you-”

“Don’t send any to the BAU group chat,” she says, rolling her eyes as she cuts him off, “I know, I know.”

“And not the separate one you have with Penelope and JJ either.”

She huffs out a breath, wishing she could be mad that he knew her so well, that he’d seen through her loophole, “You’ve got to ruin all my fun, huh?”

He kisses her, stealing the breath from her lungs, smirking as he pulls back, “Hopefully not all your fun.”

___

Emily smiles as she flicks through the pictures on her phone, her teeth sinking into her lower lip as she lingers on one where he’s holding the surfboard over his shoulder, the muscles in his arms visible under his skin. The smile on his face soft as if he was looking right at her or one of the boys, not the camera. It makes something flip in her belly, a familiar need for him bubbling into a slow boil.

“I hope you didn’t send those to anyone,” he quips, and she looks up from her phone to see him standing next to the bed, his eyebrow raised as she smiles up at him from where she is sitting, her back against the headboard. He’s wearing the t-shirt he’d worn to the beach earlier, something he’s sure would leave bits of sand in the bed even though she’d shaken it out over the balcony whilst he showered, but he doesn’t care. The sight of her in his clothes had always been enough to undo him, something so simple and domestic that brought him to his knees.

“Just the boys,” she says, locking her phone and placing it on the nightstand, smiling as he climbs into bed next to her. He leans in to kiss her, smiling as she cups his cheek and holds him in place, chasing him as he pulls back, her nails scratching at his beard. “Jack said you need a shave.”

He laughs as he shakes his head, “He’s always hated the beard.”

She smiles as she thinks of the first time she’d ever seen him with a beard, when she was freshly back from the dead and he was back from Pakistan. He’d told her since that he’d left because he didn’t feel like he deserved to be at home when he’d sent her away, a penance that he carried that no one else but him had put on his shoulders.

She hums as she pushes his hair from his forehead, “I’ve always loved it.”

At first, she’d tried to ignore the pull that she’d felt towards him when she got back from Paris. Half convinced at first that it was only because he understood what she’d been through, that he’d faced his own monsters and survived. It was only as time went on that she realised it went deeper than that. That she was in love with him, and had been for longer than she’d care to admit. She was grateful she’d taken the plunge, that she’d kissed him after dinner one night and changed her life for the better.

Aaron smiles at her, his dimples carved into his cheeks, “I know you do.”

He leans in and kisses her, his tongue licking through her mouth, tasting the sigh she releases as her hand moves into his hair, her nails scratching his scalp as he shifts them. He ends up half on top of her as he lays them down and she chuckles as she widens her legs, making room for him to lay between them, chuckling as she pulls back to smile at him.

“Sure you’re not too tired after surfing?” She asks, already breathless, her tongue peeking out to lick her lips, addicted to the taste of him on her skin. He runs his hand up her thigh, grasping at the familiar skin and smiles as he presses a kiss to the corner of her lips and then her cheek, his response partially muffled against her skin as he makes his way down her throat.

“I’m never too tired for this.”

She beams at him and pulls him in for a kiss, groaning as his hand slips up her thigh, the kiss lost to a smile as his hand reaches her hip, all but growling when all he feels is bare skin. He pulls back and looks at her, his pupils blown with desire as their eyes meet.

“No underwear?” He asks, his voice gruff, the sound of it alone enough to make her shift her hips up towards his.

She shrugs, “Seemed pointless,” she says breathlessly, reaching down to pull at the hem of the t-shirt she was wearing, but he stops her, his hand over hers as she frowns curiously at him.

“Keep it on,” he murmurs, kissing her throat, nipping at her pulse point with his teeth. She grasps at his hair, holding him in place as he sucks a bruise into her skin, one she knows she’ll struggle to hide from their sons when they get home, but she can’t bring herself to care.

“You and your obsession with me wearing you- fuck,” she says, her comment lost as he presses his thumb against her clit, drawing out a groan from her.

“So wet for me already, baby,” he mutters against her skin, trailing upwards to capture her lips in a kiss, “Always so wet.”

She whimpers as he runs his fingers through her, her hips moving against his hand, seeking out friction he knew she needed but was holding back, “Always for you,” she gasps, “Only you,” her hips twitch again as he lightens his touch and she groans, “Aaron. Please.”

Aaron smirks into the kiss. Even all these years later it blew him away that he did this to her. That he was able to turn this woman, the person who he’d seen stare death in the face, to this. His name a breathless whisper on her lips as he finally pushes two fingers into her, swallowing the moan she releases before she breaks away from the kiss, her head thrown back against the pillow.

“Fuck,” she moans, clenching around his fingers as he presses his thumb into her clit, “Just like that,” she adds unnecessarily, both of them aware he knew her body almost better than she did, well practised on how to take her apart.

He builds her up slowly, taking his time no matter how much he wants her, how much he wants to feel her around him. He uses his other hand to trail under the t-shirt she is wearing, his fingers stroking over her skin, paying special attention to her scars. Able to seek them out even though he can’t see them, her skin a map he knew off by heart. Something he had committed to memory long ago.

She gasps at the heat of his skin against hers, the way he palms at her breasts, making sure he takes the time to press into the damaged skin above her left one. A brand he always paid attention to, forever seeing the beauty in it where she couldn’t because it was made of her, and therefore could never be close to ugly. She can feel the orgasm coming a mile off and she lets it wash over her, every nerve in her body on fire as she comes, tipping over the edge with the familiar weight of him against her.

It takes her a few moments to come back to herself, first aware of his lips against her cheek and then his voice, soft and quiet in the otherwise silent room.

“You okay sweetheart?” He asks, and in any other circumstances she’s sure she’d be pissed that he looked so proud of himself, but she simply nods, her teeth biting at her swollen lower lip.

“I’m great,” she replies, pulling him in for a kiss, her still shaking leg wrapping around his back. She frowns when her heel meets his skin, pulling back to look at him, wondering when he’d taken off the boxers and t-shirt he’d talked out of the bathroom wearing. She kisses away his smirk and reaches out for him, smiling when he grunts as she wraps her hand around him, pumping him up and down a few times, tugging at his lower lip when he breaks the kiss.

She guides him into her, pressing her forehead into his as she sighs at the familiar stretch of him, the feeling of being complete that always came with this.

“I love you,” she breathes out, pushing his hair from his forehead, stamping a quick kiss against his lips.

He links their hands together next to her head and kisses her fiercely, his nose warm against her cheek, “I love you too.”

They go slowly, taking their time as they find a familiar rhythm. He can’t help but think of their first time. The way they’d desperately pulled at each other’s clothes, seeking out what they’d wanted from each other for years, falling into a mess of limbs onto her bed, both of them desperately trying to catch their breath before they went again, wanting to make up for lost time. They still had that passion, the two of his button-down shirts and one of her pairs of underwear that they’d brought on this trip that were torn in their suitcase was enough evidence of that, but he thinks he loves this more.

The familiarity of it, the softness. The love they’d fought so hard for, together and apart, and that he knew they’d feel forever.

“Cl…close,” she grits out eventually, her hips stuttering against his before she chases his lips in a kiss. He reaches between them and rubs her clit, making sure he’s gentle, that he keeps the pace they’ve had all evening.

“Come on sweetheart,” he says, kissing her cheek before he presses his face in her neck, breathing her in, making sure every one of his senses is overwhelmed by her, “Come for me.”

They come together, her orgasm triggering his, and she buries the hand not linked with his in his hair, holding him in place. Not wanting him to move, to pull away, loving the feeling of him pressing her into the mattress. He was heavier now than he had been when they first met, but she loved it. Found comfort in the embrace that somehow felt even safer than it had when they got together, something she hadn’t thought would be possible.

They catch their breath, and she closes her eyes, lets herself bask in it all, the love between them and the peace they’d found on this weekend away. A short burst of quiet in their beautiful, chaotic, life.

“Promise me something,” she says eventually, encouraging him to look at her by tugging at his hair slightly, smiling when their eyes meet.

“Anything,” he replies sincerely, and she knows he means it, that he’d pull the stars from the sky if she asked for them, and she knows she shouldn’t expect anything less.

He’d once called the Vatican for her after all.

“Promise me we’ll always find time like this weekend for us,” she says, pushing the hair that had flopped onto his forehead back, smiling at the grey hairs that shine in the light of the bedroom, “Even when both boys are moved out.”

He smiles, shifting up to kiss her, his hand on her cheek as he pulls back, “Em, I’ll buy this place tomorrow and bring you here every weekend if that’s what you want.”

She beams at him, turning her head to kiss his palm, “I love you,” she says, unsure what else to say, well aware even that didn’t seem enough.

“I love you too,” he replies, leaning down to kiss her as they get lost in each other, the sound of the ocean outside echoing around them.

Okay, I've been so excited to post this. It's various facts and inferences about Hotch and the last section is more relating to Hotch and the team. This is just seasons 1-3. There will be three more sets (4-6,7-9,10-12) in the future.

I may have to re-watch 1x1 and 1x2 because I didn't really start this until 1x3 (maybe 1x4) when I spoke with @unionjackpillow.

This is long and wordy and my thoughts are mixed in the last section. Please enjoy.

🧡

Facts about Hotch:

Did not want to name his child after serial killers (1x1)

Worked for 2 years in the Seattle, WA field office (1x1)

Collected coins as a child (1x3)

Was a self proclaimed nerd as a child (1x3)

Left handed. (1x3)

Haley was 34 weeks pregnant during 1x5

Good marksman (1x6)

Carries two guns, one on his side, one on his ankle (1x6)

Jack was born by 1x7, which I'm guessing is equal to March of their timeline? Idk. This is based on 1x19.

Downplays injuries (1x8): beaten and choked with a wire. "I'm fine."

Deadpan humor (1x9) (1x16)(2x3)(3x2 - he had a slight grin telling Derek maybe his next unit chief wouldn't be a drill sargeant}

Reid: can at least one of you look like you're going to see me again?

Hotch: 😐 see you when you get back

Hotch, after Morgan beat up an unsub who attacked him: what you couldn't wait?

Will reach out to others to offer help - 1x10 (Reid & nightmares)(the way Reid responded to help for his nightmares is probably why Hotch didn't reach out with the drug addiction, but also the fact that he probably knew that they couldn't help Reid with it until Reid was ready to quit)

Pushes his team in areas he thinks they need to grow in or are hesitant about, but also has the confidence that they will succeed (Elle in 1x9 (after JJ seems surprised Hotch let her do the interview))

His mother is from Manassas, VA and went to Mary Baldwin University in Staunton, VA. 1x11

Cares for his team members. Made sure that Garcia was okay after being stuck with Gideon for a case (cleaned up, got her flowers, made her feel appreciated) 1x11. encouraged Gideon to reconnect with his son 1x11. Expressed concern over Elle when she'd be shot (2x1) comforted JJ during a case when she was doubting herself (3x11)

Has a easy going friendship with Garcia (1x11) (1x16)(1x20)

Always drives

Knows how to keep a cool head until it affects his family. He can keep his voice at a neutral level and tone.

His hair went from incredibly floppy/long to medium length during season one. Shorter on the sides with a few longer pieces on top including the piece that always falls on his forehead.

He drinks tea (1x13) (this is actually seen several different times over the seasons)

He chose the BAU because he wanted to stop criminals before the cases reached his desk as a prosecutor. But he's still uncertain (1x13)

Hotch worked with Max Ryan at some point (1x15)

His compassion for victims! 1x15, 2x7,

Has a younger brother, Sean. 8-12 years younger. Sean was 25 in 2005. Hotch has taken a fatherly role towards him since their father died, but is met with resentment. (Adding this in that Hotch must have told Derek and Sean about the other because of familiarity, despite Sean not actually knowing Derek). They see each other at holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas). Hotch wants the best for Sean but can be blinded by logic and general head-in-ass-ness. 1x16

His father was a lawyer. 1x16

Father died at 47 via a heart attack. 1x16

Fluent in staring/glaring 1x16 (but shown other episodes too)

Not trustful of practices he doesn't understand. Almost hostile.(John Blackwolf studying the ground, etc) 1x16

He's, appropriately so, uptight on cases. 1x16

He knows how to fight. 👀 1x16

Beer drinker. 1x16, 2x14,

He can use chopsticks 1x17

One of the first cases Hotch worked with Gideon was in Iowa where 2 boys were murdered. They went to interview the unsub and had a weapon. He turned the gun on Hotch, Hotch talked him down and into surrendering. The wife gave the unsub an alibi. Unsub killed one more. Probably around 1998? (1x17)

His birthday is around November 1st/2nd (Dia de los Muertos). Which makes absolutely no sense as Jack looks like he's 6 months old. JJ makes mention of "birthday weekend". DdlM was on a Tuesday and Wednesday. My guess is his birthday is first week of November somewhere. (1x19)

He gets on quite well with his sister-in-law, Jessica. They are close enough that he can comfortably sass her. He took off work for her visit. (1x19)

The man looks mighty fine in jeans, a t-shirt with an undone button up on top. (1x19)

Chooses not to see when Haley gets pissed off about his job. Tries to justify it "she said it was all right." Gideon pushes this wedge that Hotch doesn't really put to a stop. ESH. (1x19)

Gideon is his work wife. (1x19)

When he's deep in thought/nervous he brings his hand to his chin and rubs his thumb and forefinger together. He does the thumb/forefinger thing out of habit when it's down by his side as well. A visible thinking indicator? (1x20)

Enjoys spending time with his family, including doing chores around the house (based on tone in 1x22). Probably has more to do with just being at home.

Was Pirate 4 in The Pirates of Penzance. (1x22)

Was a junior in high school spring '87, which makes him a graduate of 1988. This would put his birth year around 1969 (to graduate in 1988, he started Kindergarten late in 1975). (2x1)

Joined theater club to meet a girl. (1x22)

The only vulgarity Hotch has used is "son of a bitch". (1x22)

Is chivalrous, he gave his suit jacket to Elle (1x22). He went to her home and cleaned her wall after she was shot. (2x1) He stands when women stand and leave the room (2x5).

Bears guilt for something he had no real control over; Gideon wanted the press. (2x1)

Can be a straight-shooter, almost cold in his delivery when he has a concern(2x2)

Was absent-minded in regards to Jack and his "condition". He didn't remember some tests at a hospital. His priorities started getting out of order (2x4)

He became emotional at the thought of the unsub making children act out his rage. Especially after one of the children were killed because of it. He does the fist to mouth to express his distress along with teary eyes. (2x4)

He's especially ragey when it comes to crimes against kids (2x4)

He travels with a photo of Jack and Haley (2x5)

Hotch's badge changed from happy and smiley to somber (2x6) this was just for one episode and then it goes back to the happy badge

He didn't trust what Elle said about the William Lee shooting. He knew something was up but yet again didn't act on it. Or else he couldn't prove something was up and didn't want to confront without evidence. (2x6)

Was a federal prosecutor (2x6)(3x18)

Was a lawyer at least 2 years before joining the FBI.

Start to see the friendship of him and JJ 2x7

Season 1 hair was longer and floppier; season 2 was significantly shorter with no hair really across his forehead

He can be playful - will play cards on jet home despite knowing Reid can/will cheat (2x8)

Did security clearances for Ambassador Prentiss during his early days in the FBI. (2x9)

Sleeps in undershirt and boxers (2x10)

Was more trusting of Emily than Gideon was, despite Emily's later claims. (2x10)

Has a bicycle hanging on his wall as of 2x11.

Won some sort of baseball award (seen on shelf in office, 2x11)

Marksmanship awards (2x11)

Golf award (2x11)

Baseball in case on desk (2x11)

Does not like getting involved with messy politics (2x11)

Not surprising, but he has a JD from George Washington University (2x11)

He was initially trusting of Emily to some degree, if only for the case, however personally he didn't like being asked about a private conversation publically especially not knowing where Emily was in the mess of politics. (2x11)

While he doesn't approve of Reid's physics magic on the job, he can appreciate it for what it is and gets amused by it. (2x12)

Doesn't mind dancing and will show off (2x14)

Regularly called Gideon by his first name, Jason.

His quite a biblical knowledge, at least knowing scripture (2x14)

Despite his actions, Hotch doesn't think of himself as emotionally mature (this may not be put right). He comes across cold to internalize his emotions, even though he does allow himself to express them in certain situations (namely, his compassion) (2x15)

"I always take advantage of Reid for his brain, but I never actually teach him how to deal with things emotionally."

"Lead by example" (Gideon)

"What kind of example is that?"

Is not a narcissist (2x15)

He doesn't think he has a sense of humor(2x15)

Knows how his team views him to some degree (and...quite accurate for someone in a supervisory position) (2x15)

A bully (JJ)

A drill sargeant (Morgan)

Doesn't trust women as much as men (Emily)

He doesn't put himself above the team (actually does what he can to alleviate things from others). (2x15)

He's feeling more pressure from Haley (2x19)

He saves lives but he feels that doesn't mean anything when he gets home because he's never there - he's an absent father and husband (2x19)

He worries about when the job will call him when he's home with his family. He tries to do what he can while he's there with them. (2x19)

I can't put into words the emotional reaction Hotch had at the end of 2x19. He saw himself in the guy. He wanted to help but couldn't do anything. It's one of the rawest reactions he had in 12 seasons.

Hotch flew back to San Francisco to hand deliver a letter from a victim to the victim's son. (2x19)

Enjoys watching old films on reel. (2x22)

One of the first times JJ has used influence (for lack of better word) over Hotch to take a case. First time was 2x8, both were about missing people who weren't officially missing and/or weren't being looked for(2x22)

He "greatly respects" JJ. (2x22)

He doesn't like anyone thinking that higher-risk people aren't worth missing or aren't important at all. (2x22)

He's close enough to Gideon that Gideon would tell Hotch if he's going on a date. (2x23)

While he's questioned himself, he doesn't question his role on the team or his job skills. (2x23)

like a good leader, he takes responsibility for group decisions that end badly. He also ends up taking the punishment too (3x1)

Suspended for 2 weeks for Gideon's decision, really. (3x1)

Thought about leaving the BAU but was not 100% sold on the idea. (3x2)

His trust of Emily changes greatly at the beginning of season 3. Once he knows where her loyalties are, he 100% trusts her. (3x2)

Just as Haley's mind was made up in 3x2, so was Hotch's.

He knows he fucked up, but still doesn't change. The handwriting was on the wall. (3x2)

Was considered more "intense" after Gideon's leaving. (3x3)

Was told by an unsub that his greatest fear was that he can't save everyone. (3x3)

He and Morgan made a deal not to profile each other (3x3)

Despite being left handed, he wears his watch on his left wrist. (3x4)

Says he's done crisis negotiation for 12 years and he "co-wrote the textbook". That would out him starting that particular role in roughly 1995. (3x4)

He also teaches crisis negotiation (3x4)

He can do CPR (3x5)

Rossi says Hotch used to call Haley 10 times a day (3x6)

Hotch is the emergency work contact for Penelope. Probably because he's her boss.

JJ tells Hotch he's never lost it about a case (3x11), but he has, only she wasn't there (2x19)

He was served with divorce papers in front of his entire team, at work. (3x11)

3x12 the first episode Hotch doesn't wear his wedding ring.

JJ can reach Hotch anywhere, apparently, even when other cell phones can't. (3x14)

Under great stress, he will give into the antognizing of an inmate/unsub. (3x14)

Haley wanted him to sign divorce papers uncontested but he says no matter what, he won't get what he wants: his family back and the ability to stay at the BAU. (3x14)

Hotch and Haley married in 2000 in Langley, VA. They were married around 8 years when they divorced, April 2008. (3x14)

While he knew Haley was done, he resolved to remain constant in Jack's life. Hotch opted to try and explain what was happening with the divorce. Jack is supposed to be all of 2.5 years old. It makes me sense when Jack tells him "everything will be alright." (3x15)

He's fair, even when he shouldn't. (3x16)

He knew Reid was at an NA meeting (3x16)

Derek referred to Hotch and Rossi as mom and dad. Seeing as how Gideon was Hotch's work wife, it's safe to say he's dad 😂 (3x18)

Hotch got defensive when talking to Rossi about his past marriages. Rossi said he would have tried harder if kids had been involved. Hotch is defensive saying he tried. Something had to give between his family and his job and unspoken, he chose his job despite him saying he tries hard and is no less committed to Jack. (3x18)

Rossi claims he's the reason Hotch testifies well. (3x19)

Hotch knows when horse race results are posted (3x19)

His puppy dog eyes are effective.

He knew agent Joyner when they liased while she was at Scotland Yard (before she joined the FBI) (3x20)

Inferences about Hotch:

Could very easily be a bully/massive asshole and tear people down (1x6)

Based on that, he's a great actor at changing who he is if necessary for his job (not sure if this is a Thomas Gibson thing or a character thing) (1x6)

Reid says he kicks like a 9 year old girl. (1x6)

1x8, the episode that launched 1,000 whumpfics about abused Hotch. "He was probably abused by one or both of his parents. He learned to take the pain."

Unsub:"You said some people grow up to killers."

Hotch: "And some people grow up to catch them."

He can be nostalgic (1x22)

He doesn't mind sex on a couch (1x22)

Outside of the job, he is a very gentle man. He expresses concerns for people, his mannerisms show that he cares.

1x19 showed where Haley started getting irritated with his job. It wasn't a problem when she visited in 1x7. Her mind was made up by 3x2.

Wasn't from a small town (2x7)

May live in McLean, VA. Haley took Jack to have his picture done. Seems extra to go so far for it, but it was a new mall. I can't see him living so far from work tbh. (2x10)

His compassion may have something to do with penance.

His father may have had affairs. The wording could have been wrong assumption on Hotch's part (2x19)

While he was in high school, his father had lung cancer. (2x19) i think this and the one above was for the case only.

Is either the only Unit Chief for the BAU or actually the only one Gideon knows. Section Chief could be over more than the BAU but the Unit Chief over the BAU itself, so he supervises several teams. (2x23)

Thought Strauss was a bitch (3x1)

I think he had suspicions about Haley, but not necessarily that she was cheating. He knew she hated his job and the hours and that she probably did speak with either a counselor or even a divorce attorney. She probably mentioned him switching departments after his suspension. (3x2)

The things the team said in 2x15 are all things someone would say of someone in a supervisor position who didn't always have that role. Hotch went from an equal to their superior and it would be hard to separate the person they may know outside of work or before to after.

As private as he is, being served so publicly is probably one of the worst things he could experience.

Low-key likes to heckle Rossi about his fame "Ah. A fan. Your world is a crowded place." 3x13

Reid saved Hotch's ass in the interview with Hardwick and Hotch knows it. He probably would have been fired for fighting an inmate, among other things. 3x14

Morgan says Hotch wouldn't have taken the case in 3x15. Evidence would contradict that as Hotch would have given it thought and trusted JJ's judgment on it as well. He had done it a few times before.

There's a certain confidence Hotch had when talking about Charlie Luvet to Will. I guess it was the fact that he's most definitely considered a "man's man" and was squirming at the fact that the victims were gay like so many other shows have troped.

Will: How did I not know Charlie was gay?

Hotch: He didn't want you to know

Will: He flew 700 miles to be someone else

Hotch: No, he flew 700 miles to be himself

Seemed a bit sad that JJ didn't tell him about her pregnancy. He probably felt she didn't trust him. (3x20)

Things worth noting:

Could be intentional lot, but Hotch says Reid has made his life miserable for 3 years in 1x6, but we later find out by this episode, he's only been around a year or so.

1x8, agent from Baltimore's organized crimes unit bursts into Hotch's office and the first thing Hotch says is "first, don't shout at me". Not angry, just firm in speaking.

1x8 when Perotta asks "didn't everyone's?" in response to Hotch asking if his father hit him, Hotch answers no.

1x11, I'm going to note the pruning of roses in winter thing here. Maybe Haley liked flowers and was into gardening and be picked up stuff by proxy. Another flower discussion: 2x23, could be common knowledge stuff.

In describing Max Ryan, Hotch said he's 'intense, brusque, not much of a bedside manner.' to which Elle piped up "sound like anyone else we know' and Hotch side eyes her. 1x15

Hotch talked about keeping priorities in line. When he's with his family he's 100% there, and at work he's 100% there. Where was the giving up of priorities. Hotch himself says divorce is high at the BAU 1x15

I love the whole "that's Hotch's brother"/"now I see it" dialogue from JJ. I've always been unsure if that was directed at the stubborn/hot-headed attitude/temper shown when Sean left or the fact she was staring at his ass as he was leaving and thinks Aaron and Sean both have a similar walking style. 1x16

Corrects Reid in 1x16, this seems more of a subtle humor attempt than an actual correction.

He said his dad knew "what you feel is as important as what you think". 1x16

Regrets having to do his job in regards to having to shoot unsubs. 1x17

About Jessica: she didn't always live close by 1x19. It was an occasion to have her visit, so much so that Hotch took off for her visit.

His wife Haley was one grade behind him, which puts her birth year around September 1970-July 1971. She would have started Kindergarten the 1976 school year. 1x22

Hotch's instructions in 1x22 were not clear because he was stressed and tired. He told Anderson to take Elle home, but told Gideon he sent Anderson with Elle. The instructions to Anderson were not the meaning he told Gideon. It's still not possible for the Fisher King to know which agent's home to go to. He had no idea Elle would be the one sent home.

Haley's mom was alive in 2x4.

I wonder if Haley thought Aaron would quit when Jack was born.

More inconsistencies with the Jack timeline. 2x4, Hotch is watching a video of Jack's first steps he says was filmed 5 months ago. The child in the video was about a year or so old. This would currently put Jack about a year and a half old, maybe a little more. This would almost track with the fact that Haley said Jack was scared at the doctor and wondering where Hotch was.

Jack looks to be 18 months or so in 2x10. His timeline is a hot mess for sure.

Derek is 30 in 2x12. Even though he was 10 in 1985 when his father died ("Derek") and should have been 30 in 2005, he's 30 in 2006. Derek was 15 in 1991. Goddamn, later in the episode they say his age is 33.

My opinion is there is more than one team on the BAU. Will address this in the future.

In The Evilution of Frank, they say Jane was 22 when Frank anducted her. She was 19. She states that in No Way Out.

Jack finally looks of a right age? Maybe? His fine motor skills seem pretty good for being not even 2. He can feed himself fairly well. (3x1)

My guess is that he contemplated the job switch to placate Haley and try to work on their marriage. It's not who he is though. I think Haley realized it wouldn't have solved their problems either, despite her talking it up. She knew he wouldn't be happy.

I'm not in the firm camp that Haley had an affair. There's evidence that they loved each other a lot but wanted different things. Haley wanted him home and wanted the stability. Hotch wanted the job and his family and couldn't do both. An affair would ruin Haley's attempt at reconciliation.

Another opinion of mine that I've stated before is that Jack shouldn't have happened. I don't think they planned to have him. Hotch had been with the BAU for years and Haley knew the drill. He could also be a band-aid baby. Having a baby will fix things. Maybe then Hotch would change jobs. I'm not a big fan of Haley by any means but I think she ended up with a shitty hand, too. They weren't fair to each other. Life and marriage isn't fair but this was all-in-all horrible. If this was an AITA on Reddit, ESH would be the answer.

If he was born in 1969, that would put him at 25 for majority of 1995. If he completed his JD at the average pace, he would have only received it that year, and depending on the time of year, would have just sat the bar (he would have received the pass/fail in October). He wouldn't have met the minimal requirements of three years work experience the FBI wants. Exceptions can be made of course, but it seems highly unlikely a first time agent would be that strong in crisis negotiation. (3x4)

Despite the separation, Haley never denies Hotch the chance to see or talk to Jack when he wants/needs. (3x4) (3x5)

Between 1x19 and 3x5, Jessica moved closer to where Hotch lives as that's where Haley stays.

Hotch is almost protective of JJ when Rossi first comes. Rossi makes an almost untoward comment ("wow we didn't have that 10 years ago") and when Hotch asks for clarity, he says "communications coordinator" with an incredulous look on his. Hotch responds fairly deadpan with 'right" as if he doesn't quite believe his friend. (3x6) This happens again but with Garcia in 3x9. Rossi makes a comment about how she dresses and lives and Hotch gets ruffled and asks if Rossi thinks thats why she was attacked.

In 3x6 when they're driving, behind Morgan is pasture with no buildings but behind Rossi and Hotch there are buildings.

Rossi is 52 in 2007. Roughly puts his birth year at 1954/5 (3x7)

Penelope is 30 in 2007. (3x9) birth year around 1976/7

Reid was 24 in 2005. Birth year 1981. October or September.

Foreshadowing! 3x10 Prentiss and Rossi talking.

Prentiss: he [unsub] went from successful writer and artist to a brutal killer in 6 months

Rossi: he suffered an unbelievable tragedy

Prentiss: I know. I get it.

Rossi: So what's bugging you?

Prentiss: it just makes me wonder... Are we all capable of becoming something like that?

Rossi: life is a hell of a thing to happen to a person.

The camera then slowly zooms in on Hotch, who's staring off into nothing.

Rossi supposedly started at the BAU in 1986. One of his "first cases" was 21 years prior.

The "Reid...be careful" in 3x12 just makes me chuckle. Hotch has read the damn room with him

Haley has JJ's phone number so she can reach Hotch. JJ still refers to her as Mrs. Hotchner even after he was served divorce papers. Even though they had team get togethers, they weren't close enough on a first name basis.

Hotch's witness for the divorce papers when signed was an Andy Swan, a name used for an FBI agent in season 6, except the agent was female, Andi. (3x14)

In 3x16, Reid refers to an unsub from 3x12 as a kid, when in reality, the unsub was older than him. Unsub was 28 but Reid is 27.

3x16 is filmed in Piru, CA with a Texas highway sign 67, between Odessa and San Angelo. Please don't ask how long that took or why I looked.

In 3x18, a phone number is used that will later be used as a phone number in Hotch's address book.

Prentiss graduated in 1989, putting her birth year between September 1970-August 1971. Either Prentiss had lots of gap years in university or she has multiple degrees because when Hotch first worked for her mother, she was at a university and there's only a year or so age differences. (High school mention 3x19) (University mention 2x10)

Reid joined the team in 2004, Garcia joined shortly after Reid. (3x19)

Aaron’s smile makes butterflies flutter in your stomach no matter how many times you behold it. And when you’re lying in bed, looking up at him like this, you can’t fathom that there’s another place you want to be. He makes the yellow fluorescent lights and popcorn ceiling of his dingy apartment feel like home.

His skin is so warm against yours, every inch of him pressed against you as the two of you lounge in bed. It’s his favorite way to be with you, completely naked, tangled in your bed sheets. His hands are made to mold you, to run over your skin, and claim you as his. A touch like no one else’s.

The worst part is when it’s time to leave. When the two of you have to go back to your responsibilities, breaking the bubble you’ve created that exists between comfort and chaos. You call it love, though you haven’t told him yet. Being in this love bubble with him is all you’ve ever wanted— it’s all you ever want.

It’s raining when the two of you walk out of his apartment and he pulls you close, twirling you around in his arms. His lips are soft and slick against yours when he kisses you, setting you down in a puddle that floods your sneakers. You look up at him, pushing his floppy brown hair out of his eyes.

A strange feeling creeps over you as Aaron pulls up to your apartment. It sits eerily and unwelcome in your stomach, but you try to push it down. Being away from Aaron always sucks, but this is just temporary. You’ll be back in his arms by tomorrow, you remind yourself of that. He must not be able to tell that you’re feeling weird because pulls you close, and kisses you delicate and sweet.

The way he’s looking at you when you pull away makes the words spill out of your mouth. You don’t mean to tell him you love him, it feels too early but it’s out in the open now. His eyes widen, a fear flashing through them as he just stares at you.

Have you done something wrong? Why isn’t he saying anything? Why hasn’t he said it back?

He opens his mouth but only the shrill of your phone fills your ears. The spell is broken. It hits you like a ton of bricks when you open your eyes you remember where you are. You remember where you aren’t.

You’re not in that apartment off of 5th. You blink away the tears that can finally fall as you take in your surroundings. There is no golden glow, the gray darkness of a stormy Saturday afternoon surrounding you. The bed sheets are cold and barren, the bed big enough to swallow you as you lay alone. Aaron’s smile doesn’t light up the room like it once did. It’s been 10 years and you still can’t get him out of your mind. Your relationship hasn’t existed for so long, and yet you can materialize it so easily. It’s a movie you’ve seen playing before. You revisit it daily, over and over. One day you’ll be able to file it away, to let the dust collect on the tape in your mind that has Aaron’s name on it.

Today is not that day. You turn over, burying your face in the pillows, and let the phone go to voicemail. The film starts spinning once more. You’re in the comfort of his sheets, bathed in golden light, surrounded by white plaster and you’re looking at his smile again. He’s kinda cute.

if you’d like to be on my hotch taglist, let me know!

Million Words

Aaron Hotchner X Black OC

Summary: Silvia was the first woman Hotch had been with since Hailey's death, but things didn't work out. A few years later she met someone new and the two planned to wed, but what happens when she sees Aaron again.

Warnings: Angst (Timeline is fucked, by which I mean Haley and Hotch separated when Jack was one then she died)

"I think this is the dress," Silvia's mother, Kerry exclaims as she rushes over to her daughter. The white off-the-shoulder dress complimented Silvia's figure wonderfully. She was looking for the dress she was supposed to marry in, and this beauty might be the dress.

"I don't know mom," she says as she looks at the dress in every mirror.

"Honey this is the fourth dress shop we've been to. I don't think it's the dress that you're having a hard time with," Kerry retorts as she sips her champagne.

Silvia knew exactly what her mother was talking about. Her mother liked Eric but preferred Aaron in every category. The problem was, forever wasn't in the cards for Aaron and Silvia. Of course, Silvia was still in love with Aaron how could she not. But the two were at completely different stages in life. Silvia wanted to move forward in the relationship but Aaron said there was no need. They both knew that the real reason was his fear of losing her. The thought of going through another heartbreak stopping him dead in his tracks. It hurt like hell when the two separated from each other, but Aaron held out hope.

"Mom, Eric makes me happy. He loves me and is more than willing to give me what I want," Silvia responds as she walks back into the dressing room. She slips out of the wedding dress and puts her sundress back on.

"The wedding is in a month and you still don't have a dress! Don't you think that's a little strange dear," Kerry retorts as she sets her glass down.

Silvia tells the shop owner she'll probably return knowing damn well she wouldn't. The two begin to walk down the strip when a blonde-haired and brown-eyed boy runs toward Silvia, screaming her name.

"Silvia!!" The boy exclaims as he runs towards Silvia. She kneels down to capture him in her arms, joy filling her body immediately.

"Jack! Oh my goodness! You've gotten so big! How are you?" She asks pulling away from the hug to get a good look at him.

"I'm doing good" he responds with a smile.

"Jack, where's your dad?" Kerry asks as she also kneels beside Silvia.

She hadn't even realized that Jack had run up to her alone. Fear starts to course through her veins. Why was Jack alone? Where was Aaron?

“Jack! God, bud, you can never run off like that again,” Aaron exclaims as he runs toward the two women and young boy. He places his hand on his chest, feeling for his heart.

“Sorry, daddy. I saw Silvia and Kerry and I just had to say hi,” Jack explains turning to face his father.

Silvia stands up looking at Aaron, taking in the fact he hadn’t changed, not one bit. His black hair was still slightly floppy, and his face still tired. The only one who had truly changed was Silvia. She began embracing her natural hair and wearing it out more. Her style changed from completely covered to somewhat free. It was as if she embraced all the things Aaron had loved about her after they parted.

The two lock eyes, not being able to say much, but saying everything through their stares. Longing and sorrow filled the air, crushing the fun summer of reuniting that had happened a few seconds prior.

“Aaron, on my goodness! It’s been too long. How are you?” Kerry chatters as she pulls Aaron in for a hug. He gives into her warm embrace but looks at Silvia the entire time.

“I’ve been good. How’ve you been?” he asks as they pull away.

“We’ve been good. Just doing a little shopping today,” she says looking back at her daughter.

“Silvia,” Aaron says a little above a whisper.

“Aaron,” she says at the same volume.

“How have things been?” he asks.

“They’re good. Things are great.” Silvia replies as her left hand anxiously reaches for her bag. Her engagement ring catching Aaron and Jack’s attention immediately. The ring was square and filled with little diamonds, a ring that Silvia wasn't particularly fond of, but she didn't have the heart to tell Eric.

“You’re married!?” Jack exclaims, shock written all over his face.

“No, Jack. I’m gonna get married soon though. That’s why my mom and I are here. Looking for my wedding dress,” she explains while looking at Aaron.

Pain is the only word that could be used to describe Aaron’s face. Betrayal crept around on his skin, but he knew it wasn’t justified. Aaron knew what Silvia wanted, something she had dreamed of having her entire life, and Aaron couldn't give it to her when they were together.

“Congratulations!” Aaron says, not being able to hide the heartbreak in his tone.

“Thank you,” she replies softly.

“The wedding is in a month if you boys would like to come. I’m sure there could be some arrangements for you two to be there,” Kerry chirps.

“Mom, I’m sure they’re busy,” Silvia quickly replies.

“We’d love to come. Wouldn’t we bud?” Aaron says with one of his hands on Jack’s shoulder.

“Yeah! I’ve never been to a wedding!” Jack exclaims with a bright smile.

God, Silvia missed that kid. She saw herself being the mother he needed. Driving Jack to practice and his games, cheering wildly in the stands when he played, and being that mom who had all the snacks. Making sure he lacked nothing even though his mother had passed. Hopes that she and Aaron could give him a little sibling or two but things couldn’t turn out that way.

“Wonderful! Silvia will text you all the details. Surprisingly, she’s been very relaxed during this wedding planning. It’s like she doesn't even care who’s at the end of the aisle waiting for her,” Kerry explains, hoping it would knock some sense into these very two stubborn adults.

“I’m over the moon to be marrying Eric. Aaron, I’m assuming your number is still the same, so I’ll text you the details soon. Bye Jack, I promise I’ll see you again soon. I don’t care if I have to force your dad to bring you to me,” she says pulling Jack in for a long hug.

“Bye Silvy” he sighs as he holds onto her tightly. Just the site almost brings Kerry to tears. She couldn't understand why Aaron and Silvia couldn’t or wouldn't find a way to work things out.

The group part ways and Silvia heads to her shared apartment with Eric. When Silvia enters the apartment the smell of lasagna hits her nose.

“Welcome home baby!” he exclaims kissing Silvia's cheek.

“Hey,” she replies as she weakly smiles.

“Have you found the dress yet?” he asks as he grabs plates from the cabinet.

“Still a no,” she replies as she sits at the dinner table.

“It’s okay baby. You’ll probably find it last minute and it’ll be perfect. Just like you,” he says as he gives her a quick peck.

Throughout dinner, Silvia tries to find a way to tell Eric about Aaron. During their relationship, she hadn’t really mentioned Aaron all that much. Eric had assumed the relationship was too traumatic for her to talk about, but it was quite the opposite.

“Eric?” she says softly looking down at her hands, fiddling with her ring.

“Yeah,” he replies grabbing a hold of her hand.

“Don’t you think we’re moving a little too fast? I mean we’ve been together for two years, but it takes five to fully know a person. I was with my ex-boyfriend for six years before we broke up. I’m just not really sure about us,” she expresses as she slowly looks up at Eric.

“What about us? You’re not sure you know me well enough?” Eric asks with a light laugh.

“I’m not sure I love you enough,” she says quietly avoiding his eye.

“What do you mean?” he asks as he pulls away from her.

“He wasn’t a terrible man he was just a broken one. We broke up because we were in different stages of life,” she explains.

“Okay, what does him being broken have to do with anything?” he asks as he leans back in his chair.

“I loved him more than anything in this world and still do. I’d give up everything for him, but I can’t see myself doing that for you. It isn’t fair to anyone in this situation if you and I get married,” she continues.

“Where is this coming from?” he questions.

“I saw him today. I should’ve known this from our very first date. I’d never be able to love you the way I love him. Everyone in my life knew it except for me. They begged me not to go through with the wedding because they knew it would end badly. I’m sorry it took me this long,” she finishes as she slides the engagement ring off her finger.

“Silvia, please no. I love you," he says.

“Eric, I can’t,” she says as she gets up to leave.

“So are we done?” he asks as he hangs his head.

“Yes,” Silvia says before grabbing her bags and leaving.

Silvia gets in her car driving straight to Aaron’s house not knowing what she’ll say. Before she knows it she's outside the once-familiar home. The home she once lived in with her family, Jack and Aaron. As she walks to the front door she finds it harder to breathe. Her fingers shake as she curls them into a fist. She knocks on the door hanging her head.

'This was so stupid. What do I even say?' she asks herself.

She puts her fist down and covers her face, embarrassment swirling through her body. Silvia sighs and turns to leave, but the sound of the door opening stops her.

"Silvia?" Aaron asks.

"Aaron," she says as she buries herself in his arms.

"What's wrong?" he asks lifting up her chin to look in her eyes.

"I can't marry him," she says, tears filling her eyes.

"Why?" he asks.

"Because I can't marry a man I'm not in love with," she says.

"Why aren't you in love with him? Doesn't he make you happy?" he asks.

"I'm in love with you. I still am, even after all these years. He doesn't and probably won't ever make me as happy as you do," she says.

As the last word escaped her Aaron glues his lips to hers. He cups her face kissing her softly.

"Glad to see the engagement ring is gone. I guarantee you the one I get you will look better," he says with a grin.

"Oh! The one you'll get me?" she asks wrapping her arms around his waist.

"Silvia Faith Harris I refuse to mess up this time. These past two years without have been hell. You are my person. The woman I'm supposed to spend forever with. You are perfect for me and I will give anything and everything to be the perfect man for you. Plus, I think Silvia Hotchner sounds better than Silvia Harris," he says.

"I have to agree that Silvia Hotchner sounds better than Silvia Harris. I also have to share my belief that a kid or two wouldn't be so bad," she says, resting her head on his chest.

"Jack deserves to be a big brother," Aaron says wrapping his arms around her.

"Speaking of Jack, where is my big man?" she asks.

"He's with Jessica. We're on stand-by with a case and I thought it'd be best for him to be with her rather than me dropping him off at three in the morning because I get called in," he says pulling Silvia into the home.

"So what you're saying is that we have the house to ourselves?" she asks.

"That we do honey. Welcome home," he says.

I hope you guys enjoyed this! I began writing this over a year ago and just felt very unmotivated to finish it but I eventually got it done!

omg do you have any thoughts on what sharing a form with lawschool!hotch would be like

Send more thoughts here.

I kinda got a bit carried away and turned this into a kinda headcannon like thing where there are hints of something between you and lawschool!hotch hehe, cos lawschool!hotch is my absolute love.

Lawschool!hotch to me = a younger, more playful hotch. Somehow, and because of the boarding school arc, I can’t shake the image of fratboy!hotch in my mind. He probably would have cleaned up (most of) his act by the time he hit law school, but I imagine he would still have a streak of something still left in him.

You would notice him the first lecture you have with him, which also happens to be the first lecture of the year for the first years. Sitting in the middle of lecture hall, lounging in his seat, hair floppy, notebook in front of him. He would be just oozing with a quiet kind of confidence, and you wouldn’t be the only one who notices him. I think he would be popular with both the guys and the girls.

If you catch his eye, he would smile, chuckling under breath as your cheeks turn red. He would remember you, eyes brightening with familiarity snd excitement the first day you slide into the seat beside him in your torts seminar. He would introduce himself to you as “Aaron”, although you hear all his other friends call him “Hotch”.

You would soon realise that despite his partying ways and the ‘I couldn’t care less’ attitude he seems to radiate, he actually is bright, and one of the most hardworking students. He puts in the hours, does the readings, prepares for his classes and generally takes school seriously.

Because of his frat boy exterior, people are hesitant to ask him for help or approach if they need, but as long as you ask, Aaron is always willing to help out and toss around ideas and concepts with you. He never assumes he is right though, and is more than willing to be convinced or told he is wrong - he’ll accept it, but he generally is right.

He would always be prepared when exam season rolls around, because he continuously does the reading and prepares for classes. You would whine to him and procrastinate, but he would force you to sit down in the library and do the work, dragging you up in the mornings and hustling you throughout the day, kicking you across the finish line of the year if he had to.

He would make sure you go out with him after the exam season ends, trying to get you wasted by plying you with alcohol but not consuming much himself, but always keeping a watchful eye on you, making sure no one touches you and that you generally steer clear of harms way. By the end of the night if you are too drunk, he would take you back to his dorm, bundle you up in his bed and fall asleep promptly right next to you. You would wake up in the morning to find yourself snuggled up against him and tear yourself away in shock, falling out of his bed. He would stir, and lazily peek out at you from the bed with a smirk.

He would drag you on a roadtrip with his friends the moment the school year is out, insisting that you relax before the next year comes back to kick you both in the butt, convincing you that next summer would not be as carefree because - internships. You would find both yourselves slipping away from the group, kicking your feet up and, watching one too many sunsets together. Your arms would brush against each other, skin touching and he would much to your giggles and protests, plant his head firmly in the crook of your neck insisting that he lay on you, or on your lap.

The first time you see Aaron in a suit, hair buzzed shorter (think Greg in Dharma and Greg, ugh Greg baby 🥺🥺) for one of the moots he is participating in you just stare. He notices and winks at you. It makes you flustered and you drop your note cards, for the same moot. He is a natural in moot court, and of course, his side wins. You lose, but happily, and blame him. He teases you about catching you staring at him in a suit and you get all blushy and run away making up some lame excuse.

Also, I don’t feel like Aaron would have started his running in law school. I feel like thats more of something he picked up maybe in practice, to keep himself focused and more grounded, or maybe in the FBI academy.

Bonus: If you had a boyfriend in law school, that was not him >:((, Aaron would want to be super critical about your boyfriend, grumbling to everyone else that he wasn’t treating you the way you deserved to be treated. He would try to be cordial to the guy when you are around, but leave them in the same room and he would become the thorniest porcupine / ice prince ever. He would be generally super protective of you, because the idiot might not realise he has a crush on you, and the day your boyfriend breaks up with you he would be there in a heartbeat, threatening to hunt the bastard down and beat him up.
