criminal minds one shots

library date | JJ

It was 9am on a Saturday, It was the middle of September so it was fairly sunny but the weather wasn't as warm as it usually was, and you were bored, there wasn't a case today and you were done with all your paperwork, so you decided to go into town to go book shopping.

"Ugh I really need this book for my class but I can't find it anywhere" You sighed out loud walking down the street after coming out of your 3rd book store. "How hard is it to find one copy of 'To Kill A Mockingbird'?" you said out loud again before turning a corner to find a Starbucks.

"What can I get you?" the woman enquired.

"A hot vanilla latte and a copy of 'To Kill A Mockingbird' if you have it" you joked.

"The vanilla latte I can get you no problem, but the book you want might be better in that shop over there" she pointed to a bookstore that you hadn't been in yet "There's only one left though, must be popular this time of year" she shrugged as she handed you your coffee, you said your thanks and goodbyes.

You finished your coffee as you entered the bookstore, you sighed dramatically as there were so many people there, selfishly you were hoping it would be just you but that would've been unrealistic.

You looked in every genre until you found books similar, you were so quick to find the book and leave that you didn't notice anyone near you, as you reached up and grabbed the book another hand layed on top of yours.

"Excuse me-" you started.

"Oh hey Y/N" you quickly turned to see who recognized you.

"Hey JJ, what are you doing here?" you asked your friend from the BAU.

"I'm uh- Henry dropped my old copy of 'To Kill A Mockingbird' and it's severely damaged" she laughed "What about you?"

"Oh Uh- classes start back next week and we need the book" you smiled, her hand still on yours.

"Are you doing anything today?" JJ asked gently.

"No I'm not I'm actually kind of bored" you laughed.

"Do you um- would you want to stay here and we could read this book together?" Jennifer Jareau didn't get flustered easily so you could tell she was genuinely nervous to ask you.

"Sure" you agreed with a gentle smile.

"Great"

JJ wasn't much older than you, you were 21, you still had university classes, your eidetic memory helped you pass your degree to become a member of the FBI a couple of months ago, but you still wanted to educate yourself more and more, this one would be your forth degree, JJ who was 24, had a son, he was 1 and his name is Henry, you knew that she split up with Will but you would never pry.

You both sat on the floor, your backs leaning against the shelves of the multicoloured piles of books behind you.

"Your turn" you took turns to read but you got distracted by her, her beautiful blonde hair falling just beneath her collarbone, the way she talks about things she's passionate about, her laugh, and the way her voice sounds when she's tired, you were falling for her.

"Sorry um, where were we?" you laughed, she playfully shoved you.

"There!" she pointed to a random paragraph in the middle of the book, your face told her that you had no idea how you got there.

"What's going on in that beautiful little mind of yours?" she asked curiously.

It was now or never you deeply sighed "Has anyone ever told you pretty you are?" you asked.

"A few people, why?" she asked with the same curiosity as earlier.

"They're right JJ" your faced blushed lightly "You're one of the prettiest girls I have ever seen" you finally admitted "I don't want to ruin our friendship though" you added sadly the realization setting in.

JJ grabbed your hand and rested her head on your shoulder "I think that about you too" she added.

"You do?" you craned your neck to face her still holding her hand and still careful to not move JJ's head.

"Yeah I have for a while actually" she said.

"Why didn't you-"

"I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to ruin our friendship too" she laughed.

"I like you JJ, I like you a lot" you sighed.

"I like you too, a lot" she added

"I can't believe it, we could've been kissing this entire time" you laughed.

"It's not too late?" JJ suggested

You both smiled at each other knowingly and kissed her, this was everything you ever wanted.
