[sylix-royalty]

If you’re still taking prompt requests, can I ask for 23 with hotchreid? <3 🥰

Of course! I’m so happy to fill request while I write my next part for my alphabet series, gives me a little motivation! Request as much as you’d like!

Ship: Hotch/Reid, Heid

Prompt: "I'm... lightheaded..."

Type: Fluff

Warnings: Nothing really, just a headache as expected

I made Hotch the Vulnerable one, I couldn’t help it.

Enjoy under the cut!

Aaron sighed as he sat his bags down. Thankfully they’d finished the case just in time, as tended to happen with them it seemed. Due to inclement weather, they weren’t able to fly out until morning, which the team seemed fine with taking an extra night to sleep and relax. David and Derek had a room, JJ and Emily, leaving Spencer with Aaron. The men would rotate rooms occasionally, but for the most part this is how it ended up, mainly because Aaron stayed up late and Spencer was the least to complain about it (meaning he never did).

Spencer noted the exhaustion as Aaron seemed to collapse into a seated position on his bed. He was worried, but he tried not thinking about it too harshly. This case hadn’t been easy for any of them, least of all Hotch since he helf such a high standard for himself that the rest of the team never truly understood. He took such a pride in himself, but he never really reflected it to the rest of them unless he had to, to get the team kicked more into action than they already would be.

Still, it worried Spencer just how out of it his boss seemed. He couldn’t hold his tongue very long as Aaron held his temples with one hand, covering his eyes. Spencer shut off the overhead lights and decided to stick with the lamps in order to try and help.

“Are you alright?” Spencer asked, not wanting to pry, but at the same time, he wanted answers.

“I’m fine,” Aaron said, still keeping up that demeanor that everything was fine when it most certainly wasn’t.

“Hotch?” Spencer tried pressing gently. He didn’t want to go too far in fear of making Aaron angry at him, but he wasn’t going to give up that easily.

Aaron knew that.

“Yeah…” Aaron sighed, “I’m just… I’ve got a headache, is all,” He mumbled, blinking himself back and not wincing at the dim light, as he glanced at Spencer. His eyes seemed unfocused, and Spencer didn’t like it.

“Are you sure that’s everything?” Spencer asked.

“Yeah, just a headace. I’m gonna shower, the heat and steam will probably help,” Aaron mumbled, standing and grabbing one of the hotel towel’s to bring into the bathroom with him, along with his go bag.

Spencer didn’t say anything else as he watched Aaron disappear into the bathroom. Spencer didn’t tend to calculate how long someone to shower, it really depended on outside factors like cases and how someone was feeling that he didn’t spend his time doing it. However, he knew when it was too long for Aaron. Especially when the shower turned off and Aaron hadn’t emerged after a typical couple of minutes to get dressed.

It took him 9 minutes and 45 seconds to come back out to the main room, and Spencer was fully watching him now. Aaron took hold of the wall to keep steady.

“Hotch?” Spencer asked as he slowly stood.

“I’m… light-lightheaded,” Aaron whispered, and as he tried to take a step, his knees buckled beneath him. Spencer was able to catch him and keep him steady.

“Woah, I gotcha, I gotcha,” Spencer whispered, carefully carrying him to the bed and sitting him down. He pressed the back of his hand against Aaron’s forehead. It wasn’t at all accurate, since the man had just emerged from a hot shower and a steam filled room, but still Spencer didn’t like just how warm Aaron felt.

“You might be running a fever,” Spencer whispered. “I won’t be able to completely tell until you’re body has cooled from the shower.”

“I don’t… feel sick,” Aaron whispered.

“You’re lightheaded enough to lose your footing, that seems sick to me. How much have you slept?”

“This case or in general?” Aaron asked.

“Let’s go with in general,” Spencer said as he stood to grab a washcloth and grabbed the ice bucket.

“I only sleep for about 4 hours a night,” Aaron admitted.

“Not good,” Spencer mumbled. “I’m gonna go grab you some ice. Lay down if you need to.”

Aaron nodded, and Spencer left to do that. When he returned, Aaron was still sitting up, but his hand was back over his eyes, middle finger holding one side of his temple and his thumb holding the other. Spencer filled the washcloth with a bit of ice, not enough to make a huge mess when it melted, but enough to provide a little relief for a headache.

“Do you want some of my over the counter medication?” He asked, carefully placing the washcloth over his neck.

“No, I’m fine,” Aaron whispered shakily.

“We both know you’re not,” Spencer whispered.

“You don’t have to take care of me,” Aaron whispered, dropping his hand to look at Spencer. There was a weakness in his eyes that Spencer had never seen before. Not even after the murder of Haley, this was a different kind of weakness.

“Doesn’t mean I don’t want to,” Spencer whispered. “You’ve taken care of me, right? You don’t always have to be by yourself, Aaron.”

Aaron blinked, clearly exhausted enough not to argue. Spencer watched his reaction, trying to keep his face steady and warm.

“I’ve got you,” Spencer promised. “Lay down, I’ll take care of you.”

Reading fanfiction on ao3 is like being addicted to drugs.

The first time you read one you experience this immense amount of euphoria and satisfaction (because of a well-done story or your ship having a solid dynamic etc.)

The high lasts for quite some time until you want way more of that special feeling so you read more and more until eventually nothing can satisfy you anymore.

But instead of trying to quit, we embrace the madness and let it take us wherever it wants.

And I think that's beautiful.

(read under the line for a word of caution)

It came to my attention that this may be trivializing the pain that actual drug addicts go through. That was not the purpose guys. Those are obviously not the same and I apologize if it seemed like that was my intention. It wasn't.

Stay safe.

If this happens to you when you type the letter ‘a’ in google, you should know that you are part of something much bigger than yourself. And you should be proud of that.

Hii could you maybe do number 25 for the hug prompt for Hotchreid?? I love ur writing so much :D

Hi! Aww, thank you so much! I love doing these so much, but if you want to see any of my longer fics, my ao3 is here! <3

25 - laying on chest, listening to heartbeat

“I can hear your heart beating.”

Aaron slowly moves his gaze from the page of the book that’s propped open in one hand down to the mess of fluffy brown hair that’s resting on his collarbones.

Some of the longer strands have been tickling his chin intermittently as the man currently laying against his chest breathes or moves into a more comfortable position, but it’s a small price to pay for the comforting weight that Spencer Reid provides as he uses Aaron as his own personal mattress.

“Hmm?” he replies, having not really been playing attention to what was being said to him, having been pleasantly lost in the world of the novel he’d been reading and the feeling of Spencer’s chest rising and falling in time with his own. “What did you say?”

He both hears and feels Spencer huff in return; a short outburst of breath that signals the younger man’s mock annoyance with him, but when his free hand travels down to stroke those soft curls that he loves so much, in the exact way he knows makes Spencer melt, Aaron knows he’s soothed any possible lingering ire.

“I said,” Spencer says, putting extra emphasis on the word only because he knows it will make Aaron continue to stroke his hair just to please him, “I can hear your heart beating.”

Aaron smiles, allowing his book to fall shut and placing it down on the mattress beside himself so that he can devote his full attention to his partner.

“Is that so?” he replies, shifting into a more comfortable position when Spencer’s nodding head applies pressure in just slightly the wrong place and rubs against his collarbone painfully.

“Mhm,” Spencer hums, sighing contentedly when Aaron’s fingers begin gently working through a knot in the hair at the back of his head. “It’s nice, soothing,” he adds, his eyes slipping closed again now that he knows he’s got his partner’s attention; despite the fact that, from the position they’re in, there’s no way for Aaron to see whether his eyes are open or closed to begin with.

“Well, that’s good. I’m glad it’s soothing you,” Aaron says quietly, bending his neck down as far as he can to drop a kiss onto the top of Spencer’s hair. It’s been a long time since they’ve had a weekend off, and longer still since they’ve had a weekend where Jack isn’t in the house with them. Aaron loves his son more than anything, and he knows Spencer feels similarly for the little boy, but it’s nice to have an adults only weekend every so often.

Even if, as is the case today, their ‘adult only’ activities haven’t strayed beyond sleepy morning cuddles. Aaron had only just managed to drag Spencer out from under the duvet that morning with the promise of coffee and then breakfast in bed, and after that, he’d settled back against a mound of pillows with his current book and Spencer had wasted no time getting under the covers and laying himself directly over Aaron’s body.

“Mhm,” Spencer mumbles again, pressing the side of his face slightly closer to Aaron’s chest and causing the older man to chuckle softly above him, his hand stilling in Spencer’s hair momentarily before he resumed stroking the soft curly strands again.

Just as he’s starting to think that Spencer’s dozed off and is wondering if he’ll be able to reach his book again, Aaron hears a quiet “don’t stop,” from beneath his chin.

“Don’t stop stroking your hair, or don’t stop beating my heart?” he replies jokingly, fully expecting Spencer to smack him for his attempt at humour, but instead he sees the younger man shift until he’s got a hand resting over his ribcage, just to the side of his heart.

“Both,” Spencer whispers, and the seriousness of his tone of voice takes Aaron slightly by surprise, leaving him speechless for a moment before he clears his throat, resuming the way his fingers were stroking through Spencer’s hair that he didn’t even realise had stopped.

“I won’t,” he replies, clearing his throat again when it comes out far rougher than he’d intended it to, “I promise I won’t.”

“Good,” Spencer mumbles, and this time Aaron feels rather than sees the kiss that the younger man presses against his chest, and suddenly all thoughts of picking up his book again vanish.

After all, why would he want to escape reality to somewhere else, when his reality is this?
