[Criminal Minds] years before love

In the end, Hotch only accepted the blood drawing and the simplest questioning, and he didn't forget to change back his clothes before going.The ER doctor and Rossi obviously had a personal relationship, and after hearing his request, he just gave Hotch a slightly explicit look in his eyes for a while.

As if not too surprised.

"Old friend?" Hotch's heart groaned, and he was almost helpless.

"Don't worry." The other party smiled easily while drawing blood for him, "We haven't seen each other for a while."

Hotch looked at Rossi on the side, and smiled, "It doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with me."

"Really? Actually, you don't need to worry. I won't mention traces of close contact in the medical report."

"No." Hotch still refused without hesitation.

So the other party patted him on the shoulder and let him go easily.

To Rossi's surprise, the concentration of the drug in Hotch's blood was not low. Jones was not wrong in judging the duration of the drug, but Hotch seemed to be completely insensitive to the drug used. He woke up quickly, moved freely, and even had residual symptoms. nothing.

Of course Rossi sent him home and forced him to rest.

Then he packed up his mood and went back to BAU. Sure enough, as expected, Gideon was waiting for him.

Before he could start his report, Gideon knocked on his door, "I heard, is Aaron okay?"

"He's fine." Rossi relaxed a little, leaning back in the chair. "Been to the hospital, everything is fine. I sent him home."

"What about you?"

"what?"

"Are you okay?" Gideon frowned slightly, looking at the restless Rossi.

Rossi looked up at him for a moment, then gestured to him.

Gideon raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that he had been prepared for Rossi to resist him.But he didn't hesitate, walked over and pulled out the chair, "Want to talk?"

"I was worried." Rossi sighed and closed his eyes.

"Do you think you shouldn't be worried about the difficulty?" Gideon asked back, and he continued, "Every one of us is worried when we know that our team members are in danger. Even if I was not there at the time, I was also worried. No one can Say something, even without considering your personal relationship. Wait, D□□id, be honest—did something else happen?"

"No." Rossi shook his head, "No other harmful behavior."

"But you don't look just worried."

"I lost my cool a little bit." Rossi moved the pen in his hand, "You're right."

"I?"

"We should be more careful." Rossi's eyes lingered on his report.

Gideon was silent for a moment, trying to reach out to comfort him, but in the end he didn't move, "D□□id, although we never take it seriously, you don't know the dangers of office romance."

"Of course, we've worked on so many cases." Rossi smiled wryly, "But at first we didn't expect it to turn out like this, Jason, in the beginning it was really just... flesh."

"Not anymore, is it?" Gideon looked at him.

"I was a little scared." Rossi shook his head slightly. "I was so nervous at the time, I was so afraid of the worst. If you knew me enough, you would know that I was indeed affected-I have to admit, I fell into it. "

Gideon stared at him. "Where's Aaron? What does he think?"

"I'm not so sure." Rossi hung his head. "Of course Aaron doesn't hate the relationship, but whether he really intends to take it further, I'm not sure."

"D□□id, just promise me one thing." Gideon leaned forward, forcing him to meet his gaze, "Don't make decisions for him, don't do stupid things. Besides, you don't need to think about how to cooperate with him in field work now Work, I will not take the risk of letting you partner for the time being."

"Thank you."

"Not for you. We are seriously understaffed, and Aaron can handle the case on his own. I have no reason to waste resources." Gideon said calmly, "Also, you investigated him before this case, and I know you obviously don't plan to ask me Report your findings, but...is there anything I need to know?"

The mysterious Father Alex flashed through Rossi's mind, but he finally said, "No, there isn't. Nothing special."
