Summary
Aaron felt the heat of pure, cold indignation simmering beneath his skin. It was deliberate. The man was baiting him, looking for the flash of protective anger, the moment where the Unit Chief would break character and show the lover beneath.
“Dr. Reid is one of the most thorough and articulate agents in this building,” Aaron said, his voice quiet, steady, and utterly devoid of anything other than calm professionalism. “His work requires no editing. It requires only an appreciation for the nuance he provides. If you find his reports ‘verbose,’ perhaps it is a limitation of the reader, not the writer.”
The man let out a sharp, mocking chuckle. “A bit defensive, aren’t we? It's a simple observation regarding Agent Reid’s performance metrics.”
Aaron watched him, his gaze heavy and unyielding. He didn’t rise to the jab. He didn’t shift his posture. He remained a statue of bureaucratic compliance, even as every fiber of his being wanted to reach across the desk and force the man to acknowledge the title he was so pointedly omitting.

Summary
Spencer leaned his forehead against Aaron’s shoulder, a breathless laugh escaping him. “God, you’re insufferable.”
“And you,” Aaron countered, pulling back just enough to look at him with a gaze that made Spencer feel entirely seen, “Are going to be the death of me.”
They stood there for a beat longer than necessary, the domestic bliss of a Thursday night in a quiet house settling over them like a blanket. It was a fleeting, perfect moment of ‘us,’ and as Spencer turned back to the cutting board, the ring on his finger - the fake one, the prop, the shield - felt less like a piece of jewelry and more like a promise he wasn’t entirely sure he wanted to break.

Summary
“Let’s dial things up now,” Hotch’s smile was small, barely there, but it reached his eyes. “Tomorrow evening, at the precinct, I’m not going to bother sitting on the opposite side of the table during the briefing.”
Reid felt a flush creep up his neck, a thrill that had nothing to do with the case and everything to do with the man holding him. “The team is going to be incredibly confused,” he noted, though he was already leaning into Hotch’s touch.
“Let them be,” Hotch murmured, pulling Reid just a bit closer until space between them was non-existent. “It’s about time they start paying attention.”

or, Aaron and Spencer are tired of hiding their relationship, so they slowly stop hiding until everyone on the team can piece together the truth.

Summary
The light cast shadows on his face, defining his sharp features. Aaron slightly hovered over him, pressing open-mouth kisses down his neck, to his bony shoulders and collarbones, then up to his cheeks and nose. His hands caressed the open skin of Spencer’s waist and ribs.
“You’re so pretty,” Hotch murmured, pressing another kiss to his jawline.Bookmarked by Sbeno22

Summary
“Baby,” Aaron murmured, his voice slurring heavily, his eyelids drooping as the anesthesia began to drag him back under. A small, contented sigh escaped him, and he tilted his head toward Spencer, nuzzling into the hand he was holding. “Thought… thought they took you… too.”
The silence that descended upon the room was absolute.
The team stood frozen, their expressions a mixture of shock, confusion, and dawning realization. (...)
Spencer didn’t move. He didn’t pull his hand away, nor did he offer any explanation. He simply leaned forward, his face pale and unreadable, and let his fingers interlace with Aaron’s.
“I’m here,” Spencer said, his voice quiet but steady, cutting through the thick, suffocating silence of the room. “I’m not going anywhere. Go back to sleep, Aaron.”
-----
Spencer and Aaron are in a secret relationship and plan to tell the team the good new of their engagement. But plans change when Aaron is stabbed on a case and outs the relationship while under the effects of pain medicine.
