[Criminal Minds] years before love

Hotch seemed to be dreaming.

He was surrounded by viscous and thick blood mist, pain was coming from every part of his body, his breathing had almost stopped, and there was no light in front of his eyes.

A hand was hanging over his forehead, almost falling, and the man was covered with a black cloak, and his face was hidden in the shadow.

"Aaron..." There seemed to be concern in the man's voice.

Hotch couldn't move at all, but he knew that the hand wasn't cold, taking almost all the pain away when it fell on his forehead, and the face in the cloak wasn't scary, even vaguely gentle.He knew from a young age that the darkness would not hurt him, it was just calling him.

But he still struggled, preferring pain to resist sinking.

But every pain was pushing him into the darkness.

And he could only tremble and fight with all his strength.

Then a hand came out of the blood mist to hold his hand, and the fresh air mixed with the familiar breath was blown into his lungs again, and Hotch almost used all his strength to hold on to that hand.

Then he was pulled out, leaving those darkness and pictures gradually invisible in the blood mist.

Hotch shivered and opened his eyes.

Muscles all over his body were so sore, sweat drenched every inch of his hot skin, and his lower body, which had just erupted in extreme excitement, had softened along with the muscles. Rossi has also been released and backed out of him, holding his face, worried, "You should have called a stop, Aaron, this is dangerous. In case I don't stop in time…"

"You can." Hotch breathed hard, expelling excess carbon dioxide from his lungs.

Rossi shook his head, moving his head into his arms, "Aaron, you passed out, convulsed and nearly choked, I think I overdid it."

"No. Dave, this one is really good." Hotch sighed softly, letting himself stretch out on the bed, never going to talk about what he'd just seen.It's also hard for him to tell if what he's longing for is the tenderness in the darkness, or the moment when Rossi finally drags him out.

Rossi leaned over to kiss him helplessly, "Don't expect me to do this every time, do you need painkillers? I don't think I can even guarantee that you will wake up tomorrow."

"I promise I can." Hotch held him back, not wanting to let him go right away.

Rossi was still in the laziness after orgasm, so he didn't get up immediately, but just put his arms around Hotch and carefully touched the bruise on the base of his thigh, "I promised Jason that our relationship would not affect Your job."

"No, it will hurt...but don't worry." Hotch frowned and grabbed his arm, whispering softly, "I'll be fine tomorrow."

"I'm skeptical." Rossi shook his head disapprovingly, "Don't be brave, even if Jason gets angry, he'll come at me, so crazy... Sometimes I doubt whether this is my hobby or yours."

Hotch smiled softly and grabbed his hand, "Dave, this was never a hobby for me."

Rossi just put his arms around him, "If you're looking for someone else, make sure it's safe."

"Dave, I didn't find anyone else." Hotch was obviously a little sleepy, and whispered against him, "I know how to measure."

At least the next day, when Rossi woke up and saw that Hotch had obviously cleaned himself up, wrapped himself in an unusually neat suit, with the collar buttoned all the way to the top, and the tie was not messed up at all, Rossi swallowed silently and almost couldn't bear it. Just tear it off and see what's going on inside.

"One more time and I won't really be able to work." Hotch gave him a look, obviously seeing what he was up to.

Rossi was a little embarrassed, and coughed, "Aaron, if it doesn't work, I can help you ask for leave."

"I remember you said that you promised Gideon not to affect work." Hotch looked helpless, "And I'm going to court today."

"It seems that your condition is better than I thought." Rossi stared earnestly at Hotch who was packing up his things for a while, and was sure that even he couldn't see anything abnormal. If he didn't know what he did, he would almost You have to wonder if nothing happened last night.

Hotch smiled and stepped forward to kiss him, "I'm fine."

"It seems that you don't want me to see you off?" Rossi saw that he had already put away his bags.

"Dave, take care of Gideon's nerves." Hotch laughed softly, "And the opposing lawyer in today's case is an old opponent of mine. I can guarantee that once you send me to him, my testimony will be fully questioned."

"It's been a long time since you left court, Aaron."

"I'm sure he won't forget me."

"Looks like you're a lot of lawyers' nightmare."

"You can check my conviction rate." Hotch didn't hide it, and winked at him, "Let's go first."

"Sounds like it makes me feel a little sorry that I didn't get involved in your case." Rossi looked at his back and muttered with a smile.
