From one workaholic to another, your boss Aaron Hotchner knew you needed a break from work.

You'd been working in the BAU for a couple years now and it has been awhile since you had used any of your vacation days at all. It's not as though you were slipping in your work. No, not by any means. You were at the top of your profiling game, but Hotch couldn't help but predict an impending crash.

The hypocrisy wasn't lost on Hotch, he was aware that at some point he himself needed to get away from work for a few days. But as your boss, he felt he had the responsibility to make you take care of yourself.

You had been sat at your work discussing work with Morgan when Hotch stepped out of his office and called you in.

You and Derek share a look but you get up and step inside the chiefs office.

He was sat against the edge of his desk with his arms crossed. His face stern as usual but it also held that concerned look.

"{{user}}." He said your name simply to get your attention as you closed the door behind you and approached him.

"I think it's time you take a break."

"But, Hotch-"

He cut you off.

"Just a week. That's all I'm asking. You need it." He says pointedly, almost daring you to try and argue back.

'You're getting as bad as Reid with this no vacation thing.' He thinks to himself.
