Invisible String | Emily Prentiss x Reader

twenty five

Eventually, we were done in the shower and put on sweatpants and hoodies, since we were in Alaska, unsurprisingly, the cabin's heater was shit.

As soon as we walked towards the bed, the floorboards began to creek again. I shuddered at the sound and Emily just laughed. "You're going to be fine Y/n." Emily said as she started pulling the sheets down, "There is nothing scary- OH MY GOD!" Emily screamed as she lept back from the bed.

"WHAT?!" I yelled as I scrambled next to her. I looked at the bed where she had just pulled the sheets down and my eyes widened as I tried to hold back a laugh. "It's just a dead mouse, Em." I giggled as her eyes shot daggers at me, "What do you mean, it's just a dead mouse?!"

"Whose the scared one now?" I teased and Emily gave me a playful shove to the arm. "Shut up."

We both stared at the mouse for a second before I spoke up. "We need to take it out."

"No fucking way am I touching that," Emily said immediately. 

"Well, I'm not touching it either!"

"I thought you weren't scared." Emily taunted.

"I'm not! But that doesn't mean I want to touch it! Do you know how many diseases they carry?!  HPS, Leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis, plague, typhus, and that's just to name a couple!" I countered.

We stared at each other for a second, contemplating who would take them out. "Rock, paper, scissors? Best out of three, the loser has to take it out." I suggested.

"I have a better idea. Let's make Luke or Spence do it"

"Oh, good idea!" I smiled as we made out way to the door to put our shoes on.

We quietly made our way outside and I pressed my body closer to Emily because it somehow was even colder and scarier out. We got to Luke and Spencer's cabin and knocked on the door.

"Hey, can you help us with something?," I said as Luke opened the door. He raised his eyebrows and gave a small smirk, "I love it when women ask me that."

Emily glared at him and I just rolled my eyes, "Okay ew, you're such a guy sometimes."

He chuckled, "I was kidding, what do you two need?"

"We need you to take a dead mouse out of our bed," Emily said, putting her unit chief voice on.

"What? Why me?" Luke frowned 

"Well, it was between you and Spencer, but after that comment you made, it was an easy choice." Emily smiled.

He looked between the two of us as his frown grew bigger. 

"Let me rephrase that. You will take the dead mouse out of our bed or I may accidentally place five extra case files on your desk when we get back." Emily said raising an eyebrow.

Luke groaned and shook his head as he put his shoes on. "You're evil, Prentiss."

We both let out a laugh as Luke followed us back to our cabin. "I expect a nice cup of coffee tomorrow morning from the two of you," Luke grumbled as we got inside. 

"Yeah yeah, just take the mouse out." I laughed as I handed him a pair of gloves from my bag. We all walked over to the bed and Luke groaned as he reached to pick it up. I could feel Emily smiling to herself next to me, obviously enjoying Luke's discomfort. "You really are evil." I giggled as I bumped her hip.

"Hey guys-"

Emily and I both let out a scream at the new voice from behind us. When we turned around we were both relieved to see it was just Spencer. Luke let out a laugh at our scare and I gave him a soft kick to the shin

"What the fuck Spencer?!" Emily growled as Spencer threw his hands up apologetically. 

"Geez, I didn't know you guys would be so jumpy. Sorry." He said as a small smile came to his face.

"What are you doing here?!" I asked.

"Well, I couldn't find Luke so I came here to ask you guys-" He said and then turned his attention to the dead mouse. "Oh, that's why he's here! You should be careful though, mouses carry numerous diseases such as HPS, Leptospirosis, lymphocytic-"

"Choriomeningitis, plague, typhus, and more," Emily said rolling her eyes. Spencer looked at her wide-eyed. 

"Y/n already beat you to it," Emily said. "Now, one of you take that mouse out before I put you both in paperwork hell," Emily said, her unit chief voice back and I tried to ignore how much it turned me on.

I heard them both grumble as they eventually took the mouse out and said their goodbyes before heading back to their cabin. I watched as Emily smiled proudly, but all I could think about was her nose and the way-

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Emily asked raising her eyebrows.

"Like what?"

She stared at me and then barked out a laugh. "Oh my god, did me telling them off turn you on?"

"Hey! It's not my fault you look hot when you're mad!"

"You know, I was going to suggest we go to bed, but I think I have other plans now," Emily said biting her lip as she placed two hands around my waist.

"Hmm, use your unit chief voice and I'm in." I giggled as I placed a kiss on her lips.

"I've created a monster" Emily mumbled against my lips.

"A cute monster though, right?" I said batting my eyelashes.

"Mmm, the cutest." She smiled as she pulled us both to bed.
