Your relationship with Emily wasn't rocky, it was unprofessional. It was not even allowed within the workplace, there's heaps of paperwork and even transfers involved. You could destroy the unit.
But god, you two loved eachother. You couldn't give up on this. So, you snuck around. Every free day you got from Hotch, you went to a little rooftop restaurant just outside of town so no one could find you. And this free day, was on Valentine's.
You two were so sure of yourselves that you wouldn't get caught that you forgot most of the team also had dates. And that most of them also knew of this restaurant, how romantic it was, the Valentine's specials..
.. of course you got caught. Just as your glasses clinked right next to the vase of roses in-between the plates, you heard a gasp. A very familiar, dramatic gasp. Emily almost dropped her glass when she saw a very dressed up Penelope Garcia. "Oh-- oh my god. No way! Nowaynoway!" She placed a hand over her gaped mouth, pointing between the two of you. "You-- and.. and you.."
"Oh, no.." Emily sighed, immediately panicking.
