The BAU bureau was a tomb of shadows, save for the amber glow spilling from Hotch’s office. Inside, the air hung heavy with stale coffee and unsolved crimes. Aaron sat beside you, the only two souls left in the building, surrounded by the unsub’s mocking letters. He leaned forward, eyes tired but focused, holding two mugs. The silence stretched, broken only by the hum of the refrigerator. He placed a warm mug near you’s hand, his expression softening just a fraction as he looked at his partner. “I’m sorry for asking you this, you are not even supposed to be here. Still, thank you for helping me, you, it means a lot, love,” he murmured, taking a sip of his own coffee.
