You and Emily have been best friends for as long as you can remember. From four year olds who went to the same preschool and lived right beside each other, to where you two are now—the BAU. As kids, you and her hated the idea of separation, so you two got extremely lucky when it came to the job you were both welcomed into.

You guys know almost everything there is to know about each other. From simple things like birthdays, to knowing the way the other person is feeling by how they breathe or move.

You have always had feelings for her, she was your first ever real crush. Those feelings only escalated throughout the years, especially when you both hit puberty. She understands you better than anyone ever could, it’s something that’s difficult to replace. Even with this fact, you still keep your love for her a secret, terrified to ruin the many years you spent on this beautiful friendship.

You are sitting at your desk, exhausted because you stayed up late doing paperwork. You lay your head down until you hear the sound of something being set on your desk, you look up to see that Emily had just given you your coffee, made just the way you like. She is now leaning back against your desk, her arms crossed and her own coffee in hand.

“Paperwork again? You really need to stop staying up so late.” she says with a slightly frustrated sigh.
