Rossi x Reid, unrequited Reid x Hotch
Summary: Reid really didn’t know how to define his on again off again relationship with David Rossi; it was more than just fuck buddies and less than friends with benefits.

Reid knocked on the door to Hotch’s office. “Come in.” He entered, closed the door and stood before the desk.
“Hotch, do you think I could talk to you for a moment?” The young agent wrung his hands nervously, then abruptly stopped as if realising that the gesture would immediately be interpreted and filed away by his superior for future reference.
“Of course, sit down.”
“Is it okay we talk about something personal here?” Reid shifted back and forth. The older man’s eyebrows went up. “I know we’re at work and ...”
“Reid,” Hotch stopped him, recognising a ramble building up momentum. “If it’s about Dave then I think it’s about time we had a discussion.”
The young agent blanched, wondering just how much Hotch knew. However, he did not expect what the unit chief said next. “Spencer, if we are going to talk about this I need to clear one thing up first. I’ve known how you feel about me for a while now. I’m really flattered that a bright young man like you would consider me attractive.” He paused as the young man sharply sucked in his breath. “However, considering your feelings, I’m curious why you want to talk to me about this and not Morgan.”
Spencer was stunned, Hotch had known. Well, it wasn’t like it really mattered now, and if he really thought about it, but he shouldn’t have been surprised either. Reid considered his answer for a moment before responding. “Because you’re his friend, but you can still be impartial. Morgan can’t be objective about anything regarding me. I’m pretty sure he’s found out and already thinks Dave is a dirty old man taking advantage of me.”
“Is he?”
The question bewildered him. “No!” he exclaimed, causing Hotch to smile.
“Well then if you have a crush on me then why are you with Dave? More importantly should I be concerned that you are taking advantage of him?” Reid knew Hotch wasn’t making light of the situation and he could hear the concern and warning in the tone of his voice.
Spencer fidgeted and looked down at his shoes. “I ... might be,” he whispered. Bringing his eyes back up to meet Hotch’s he was astonished to see exasperation and a little bit of sadness. The older man tilted his head expectantly. “Well it sort of started off as an ‘agreement’ we had with each other.” He ducked his head in embarrassment and Hotch looked genuinely shocked that Reid would do something like that. “I mean, Dave even knew I had a crush on you when he asked me. So we see each other every once in a while and for the most part it’s really nice.”
Massaging his forehead with his fingertips, Hotch inquired, “So what changed?”
“Well ... he started breaking the rules.”
“Rules?”
Reid blushed, focusing on the wall behind Hotch as he spoke. “We wouldn’t visit each other at our houses, or meet up socially without the team, or have ... relations while on a case,” Hotch’s eyes narrowed as he processed the implications of that statement. Reid could see the moment of confirmation in his expression and hurried on to the last one even though it came out as a barely intelligible mumble, “never use each other’s names ...”
The unit chief sighed when he finally deciphered that last statement. “Spencer, how did the rules come up in the first place?”
He thought about it for a moment. They had been reactionary. Every time something had happened that freaked him out, a new rule had gone into place. The ‘not meeting at each other’s houses’ had been because it was too easy to get caught. The team didn’t make a habit of showing up at each other’s houses unannounced but it did happen. The incident with Hotch was a good example. The ‘not during a case’ was sort of a given, but hadn’t been tested until that time in San Diego. ‘No names during sex’ had been because it made things complicated. The intimate nature of ‘Dave and Spencer’ made it sound more like they were dating rather than whatever it was they were doing. The ‘no social visits’ had been instituted for the same reason. Dave had calmly agreed to each one, and Spencer hadn’t questioned it, thinking they were matter of preservation for the older man and not that it was for Spencer’s comfort or piece of mind.
Reid raised his head and realised the moment he saw the understanding look on Hotch’s face. “Oh! Oh,” he groaned, “It was me. He agreed because of me, because he wanted me to be okay with it.” Hotch nodded and Spencer wanted to bang his head on the desk. It was as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. He felt a tinge of anger towards Dave for going about it so obtusely, but then again Spencer was not very skilled in that department. If Dave had started flirting with him he would have missed it or written it off as part of the man’s charming behaviour. Not to mention the whole team would have seen it and moved to protect Spencer from what they would have thought as the obvious machinations of a licentious senior agent. The older man had skipped the courtship and went straight for the physical part hoping to work his way back in time. But Spencer had made it hard by instituting the rules.
Then there was their talk the other day. They had been talking about Dave having a relationship the Hotch, but Dave had said to him he’d choose Spencer over their unit chief any day. Then it hit him, Dave would choose a relationship with him. Ah! How could he have missed that? He hung his head and muttered, “But what about Strauss?”
Hotch cleared his throat, “He hasn’t seen Strauss in over four months.” Reid looked up in shock; that was about the time Dave had propositioned him. Spencer had only assumed that the senior agent was still seeing her. After waiting for young man to process that, Hotch asked him gently, “Reid, how do you feel about him?”
“I think ... I might be falling in love with him.” Hotch nodded and Reid smiled when he saw that the other man was okay with that answer. However, the happy expressions on their faces dropped as they could hear muffled shouts coming from the office next to them.

Meanwhile, the situation was not going as well in Rossi’s office. The morning started off normal, but it took a turn for the unexpected when Morgan knocked on his door. Rossi looked up and frowned, Morgan almost never came to see him, “Come in.” His frown grew even deeper as he watched the man close the door behind him.
Standing before the senior agent’s desk, he glowered down at him. “I want you to stop seeing Reid,” he said without preamble.
Dave didn’t even have to think about that, “No.”
“It wasn’t a request.” He said in a low threatening voice.
“I didn’t think it was, but the answer is still no.” Rossi sat back glaring at Morgan with an expression that clearly said “I’d like to see you make me.”
“You’re twice his age! It’s perverse!” Morgan ground out.
Dave had been prepared for that observation. “He knows how old I am. Are you saying Spencer is perverse as well?”
“I’m saying that someone your age has been around the block enough times to take advantage of someone as innocent as Reid!”
“Morgan, Spencer may be younger than I am but he’s still a grown man that can make his own choices. If he wants to be in a relationship with me that is his decision not yours.”
“It can’t be much of a relationship if you are still seeing other people. I don’t think Strauss would have many favourable things to say about fraternization.”
“Since when have I cared what Erin has to say? She and I haven’t been together for months. And considering the circumstances it would be hypocritical of her.”
“Bullshit! I know you well enough that you only look out for yourself, and once you get tired of him that will be the end of it. You’ve been found out. Why not end it now before he gets attached?”
“Because I care about him!” Dave sure as hell wasn’t going to tell Morgan that he was probably in love with Spencer, especially since he hadn’t said anything thing to the kid himself yet. They were so engrossed in their fight that neither of them noticed the door swing open as Dave made his confession.
“What is going on here?” Hotch glared at the two men engaged in heated argument. They both stopped as they spotted Reid staring at Rossi in amazement behind him.
“Hotch, I was just telling Rossi why it would be in his best interest for him to stop seeing Reid.” The door to Rossi’s office slammed as the youngest agent violently closed it.
Down in the bullpen, JJ and Garcia looked up as they saw the blinds close in the office. The tech analyst smirked as the other blonde handed her a hundred dollar bill. Prentiss just muttered under her breath, “About time.”
Spencer was livid, he stalked up to his best friend and hissed at him, “Why do you think this and when did you get the idea that I might appreciate that idea?”
“Baby bo...” He stopped as Reid pinned him with a razor sharp glare. “Reid, we all know how worldly Rossi is. I just thought that you didn’t realise how persuasive he can be when he wants something.”
“Morgan, I can take care of myself! You know it makes me feel like we’re not equals when you treat me like I’m some sort of naive little kid. I’m kind of insulted you would think I would let myself be taken advantage of.” Derek’s mouth dropped open and he looked away feeling more than just a little ashamed.
Hotch could see this was getting out of hand very quickly. “Okay, everyone stop.” Three sets of angry faces turned to him. He scowled back, “Morgan, go home for today, I expect you to have your head together when you come in tomorrow.” The agent went to argue but Hotch just continued, “Reid will talk to you when he is ready.” He looked at the young man. Reid acknowledged him with a petulant look on his face but he still nodded in agreement. “Dave, my office.”
The senior agent reluctantly followed him out, shooting Morgan a look of disapproval over his shoulder as he went. Derek just ignored him; instead, he looked at Reid pleadingly. The youth sighed heavily, “Go home Morgan. Give me this week to get over being mad at you. I’ll call you on Saturday.” He turned and sat in one of the chairs at Rossi’s desk, waiting for the older man to get finished talking to their boss. Morgan stalked down to the bullpen. He ignored the three girls looking at him expectantly as he grabbed his jacket and made his way out.
Garcia called after him a little fearfully, “Derek?”
“It’s okay baby girl, just coolin’ my heels for the rest of the day. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
After the glass doors closed behind him, JJ muttered, “Oh, someone’s in the doghouse.”
Prentiss snorted, “Yeah, but at least Hotch only told him to go home. Reid’s the one he’s got to make it up to.” She leaned back in her chair, “Ah, you two are so lucky! I’m going to have to run interference until they make up, it’s going to be hell. Do you think I can talk Hotch into giving me the week off since Reid’s probably going to be working like a maniac anyway?”
The two blondes just laughed and trotted off to their respective offices. Emily took one last look at Reid before switching her gaze over to Hotch’s office. At least it didn’t look like Rossi was being read the riot act, but then again Hotch had perfected the I’m-not-yelling-at-you-but-I-am lecture to a fine art.

Dave was fully expecting to be reprimanded as soon as he walked into Aaron’s office. It wouldn’t be the first time, but he was sure as hell going to make it the last. Instead Hotch just mumbled as he sat down. “I never thought I’d find out how Gideon felt when he had to talk to you after that secretary’s boyfriend confronted you in the hallway.” The unit chief pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. “Reid already came to talk to me.”
The older man looked shocked. “What did he say?”
Hotch levelled his gaze at the older man. “That is between us, but I will tell you that you need to be completely direct with him about your intentions. Talk to him. Soon. I’m going to overlook this as long as it doesn’t interfere with the team’s performance. Both of you seem to be happy and Morgan will get over it as soon he and Reid have a good talk alone.” He rolled his eyes, “providing that Reid gets done punishing him anytime soon. Also, I don’t think I need to tell you that nothing can happen ever again while we are on a case.”
The older man had the decency to blush. “I’ll take that under advisement.” Hotch nodded curtly, not believing it for a moment and indicated that they were essentially done. Rossi got up to leave. He was almost to the door when Aaron said one last thing to him.
“Dave?”
“Yes?”
“If you hurt him, it won’t be Morgan that you have to worry about.”
The senior agent regarded the younger man for a moment. “I understand,” he replied gravely, and walked out the door.

Spencer let out a sigh of relief as Dave walked back into his office smiling. “Is everything okay?”
The older agent squeezed his shoulder, “Yeah, it’s all good. Can you wait until we go home to talk about it? I’ve got some things I need to tell you.” A worried look passed over the young man’s face and Dave rushed to reassure him. “It’s nothing bad, or at least I hope it isn’t.”
Reid smiled. “Okay. I can wait.” He looked out the door, “I think I need to get back to work anyway. I’m so mad at Morgan right now it might help me clear my head a bit.” The older man nodded in understanding.
Reid made his way back down to the bullpen. As he approached his desk, Prentiss asked, “Are you okay? Do you want to talk about it?” Thankfully she hadn’t looked up or she would have seen the grimace that crossed his face.
“I’m okay, but I don’t want to talk about it just yet.”
“Well, I’m here if you need me.”
He was grateful she didn’t push the subject. However, he turned toward her, curiosity colouring his tone. “So did everybody know?”
She snickered, “Everyone except Morgan. JJ wasn’t one hundred percent sure, but she is now. Because of that, you need to have Garcia take you out to dinner.” She got up and removed some case files from Reid’s desk and placed them back on Morgan’s. Grinning at the young doctor conspiratorially she said, “Just until he gets his head out of his ass.”
Reid smiled, but then it turned to a look of confusion. “Why are you okay with it?”
Emily turned away from her desk to face him. Her eyes took on a faraway look for a moment. “Maybe, because after all that we’ve seen, I can’t begrudge any of us the smallest bit of happiness wherever we can find it.”
Reid nodded solemnly, “Thanks Emily. I think I needed to hear that.” She smiled back at him and they both turned towards their respective paperwork.

Spencer was a little nervous as they left the office together for the first time. He saw Hotch briefly look over at them before they left. Truthfully, he was a little relieved not to have to sneak around. The drive to Dave’s house was quiet but not unbearably so. It was like they were both waiting for each other to speak. To Spencer, it seemed as if they got there too fast, and he wondered if he had been so lost in his own thoughts that he hadn’t noticed Dave exceeding the speed limit rather copiously. It wasn’t until after they had sat on his couch and the older man had poured them both a glass of wine that the silence was finally broken.
“Hotch told me that you came to speak to him.” Dave startled him by speaking first. The senior agent stood next to the couch idly twirling his glass, as if he was hesitant to sit next to the young man.
“Yeah ... I needed to talk to him about ... us.” Spencer blushed deeply, recalling what they had discussed.
“Yes. He told me that was between you and him.” It wasn’t a question but the younger agent knew it for what it was.
He looked away, afraid to meet the older man’s eyes. “I told him I might be falling in love with you.”
The wine glass shattered when it hit the floor.
