Teddy was asleep in his room, but Jack couldn’t sleep. His daddy was away catching bad guys and had been gone for three days, and didn’t know when he would be able to come home yet, the bad guy they were looking for was extra sneaky. But Jack missed his daddy and wished he could have tucked him in. Haddy did a good job tucking Jack in, but sometimes he just wanted his daddy. Jack tossed, and pulled his blankets up further, stroking the soft material, fingers tracing over the loops and knots of the yarn. His eyes welled up. He really wanted his daddy tonight. Sniffing, he climbed out of bed. Haddy always says that he can come get him if he needs him, he just hoped it was ok to wake him up. Jack crept down the hall, dragging his blanket and his dinosaur, both made by his Haddy. He hesitated in front of Haddy’s door, but then softly knocked, unsure if he could go in. Haddy and Daddy both said if a door is shut, that he has to knock. He waited, swaying side to side, squeezing his dino tightly, when the door opened, Haddy standing there looking sleepy.”Jack? Are you alright?”Jack sniffed and looked up at Haddy. “I miss daddy.”Haddy kneeled down, pulling him into a hug. “Oh sweetheart, I know.” Jack loved Haddy’s hugs, they were almost as good as daddy’s. He wrapped his arms around Haddy’s neck, and he stood, hugging Jack close. “How about we go have some hot chocolate - that always makes me feel better.” Jack nodded his head into Haddy’s neck. Hot chocolate made him feel better too. Haddy carried him to the kitchen, and set him gently on the counter, before pulling things out of the cabinet and putting a pot on the stove. Haddy’s hot chocolate was always magical and Jack loved watching him mix all the things until it was perfect. “Can I have sprinkles?” Haddy smiled at him. “Of course love. Which color?””Green!” Jack loved green.Haddy just chuckled, “Green it is then.”Haddy waved his wand and music started playing softly while he mixed things up. Finally it was ready, and Haddy poured it into Jack’s special dinosaur mug, and then put cream and sprinkles on top.”I think, just this once, we can drink this in the living room. We can put a movie on.” Jack beamed at Haddy. They were never allowed to have food in the living room. Haddy said they aren’t mindless robots and can eat proper meals at a proper table.Haddy carried Jack into the living room, their mugs floating ahead of them. They got settled together on the couch, and Haddy put on the movie where they show all the whales. They sipped their chocolate quietly, watching whales swim through the ocean, and Jack could feel his eyes getting heavy. After he yawned for the fourth time, Haddy took his mug setting it down, and tucked Jack into his side, stroking his hair. It felt nice, he felt warm and safe, and he still missed his daddy, but Haddy was here and loved him and daddy would come back. The next morning Jack woke up to realize Daddy came home while he was sleeping. He was laying on the couch, with Haddy tucked into his side under his arm, and Jack laying on top of him, his arm secure around his waist. Teddy had climbed on top of Haddy and had a leg draped over Jack’s side - his mouth was hanging open and he was drooling all over Haddy’s shirt. Jack smiled, and snuggled closer into the people he loved most in the world.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Teddy sat playing quietly with his animal figures that Auntie Luna gave him. The house was quiet - Daddy took Jack to soccer practice and wouldn’t be back for a while. Teddy didn’t play soccer, it got him too excited and he had a harder time controlling changing his hair color. Daddy got him a special bracelet to make his appearance always the same, but once Teddy got so excited when he kicked a ball into a goal, that his magic burnt the rune on his bracelet and his hair changed bright pink. Daddy had to use a fuzzy brain spell on some people who saw him. Now, until he went to special school next year, daddy says no more soccer. So, Teddy was home today with Uncle Aaron. He liked Uncle Aaron, he always played with both Jack and Teddy when he was home, and he always made sure daddy ate enough food and took breaks and made him stop cleaning when he was upset - even Uncle Draco couldn’t always do that. And Uncle Aaron and Daddy always smell pretty when they are together, like something sweet. He thinks it means that they make each other happy. He dropped his toys. He was bored and he wanted cuddles. And some bacon. His mouth watered thinking about it. He grabbed his blanket and started to leave his room but stopped and hung his head. He turned around and put away his toys like daddy would want him too. When he finished putting them away, he grabbed his blanket and walked to Uncle Aaron’s office to see if he was there. He could see his uncle working at his desk with his head down. His hair was messy like he had been rubbing it a bunch. Teddy rocked back and forth on his heels, popping his finger in his mouth. He wasn’t sure if he could interrupt right now or not, but then his tummy growled - loudly. Uncle Aaron looked up and saw him standing there, and smiled. Teddy hummed happily, Uncle Aaron always smelled safe and happy.”Hungry Teddy?” Teddy nodded. Aaron chuckled. “Well, let’s go see what we can fix for lunch.” He got up and left the office, swooping Teddy up in his arms.“Anything sound good?””Bacon!”Aaron laughed. “You always want bacon.”Teddy looked at Aaron seriously, it was important that he knew this. “Bacon is the best food.””I wont disagree with you Bud.”Uncle Aaron put him down on one of the tall chairs and moved around looking in the fridge. “You are in luck - we have bacon. Looks like Hadrian left some, and some mango is cut up. Bacon sandwiches and fruit sound good?” He glanced at Teddy. “Yes! Bacon and mangos!” Teddy wiggled in excitement. “And cookies!”Uncle Aaron made a funny snorting sound. “One cookie. If you eat all your food. Your daddy would have my hide if I got you sugared up.”Teddy grinned. He had convinced Uncle Aaron to let him have lots of cookies once, by asking him while he was working and not paying attention. Daddy gave Uncle Aaron his “I’m so disappointed face” after Teddy had gotten a little hyper and tried to climb the drapes. He was so busy talking to Uncle Aaron. that he forgot to ground Teddy.Uncle Aaron put a plate with a toasted bacon sandwich, a bunch of mangos, and set a cup of milk in front of him. They ate quietly, Aaron handing him a cookie when he had cleared his plate.”Alright Bud, let’s go get you settled. Do you want to watch lullabies for your nap? Or the whales?” Aaron picked him up, carrying him to his room. He tucked him in, handing him his owl and owl blanket. “Uncle Aaron, will you read to me?”Aaron sat on the edge of his bed, petting his hair, which made Teddy’s chest feel happy growly.”Sure Bud. Which book?””Pout Pout!”Aaron smiled at him, and looked through the books on the nightstand, pulling out the right one. He settled in. “Deep in the water…”
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Hadrian POV
“Are you sure about these pants? And this shirt…I feel sort of naked…” Hadrian trailed off, twisting to look at himself in the full length mirror. He was wearing skin tight, low slung leather pants, which he could have comfortably worn, but it was the…shirt….that he was unsure about. It was almost a corset, made of sheer black lace, with wide leather straps making up the seam lines. It ended at his belly button, between it and the pants, his hipbones were exposed, and it was completely sheer. He twisted to see how visible his scars were, self conscious.Penelope walked in carrying more clothing. “Oh my god- you look gorgeous! You must wear that tonight. Here- I have boots for you- and let’s toss this jacket on top-but dont you dare button it. I’ll do your make up when you are done. Ahhhhh you are gonna look so hot, I’m gonna die!” She bounced and squealed and was just so happy and excited that Hadrian gave in. He felt relief his back would be covered at least.He put on the black leather ankle boots, and then the suit jacket. He had hoped it would cover more, but it was tight and short, and ended with folded sleeves at his forearms. He plucked at the clothing nervously before blowing out a breath and walking out of the bathroom.”You look soooo great! I am just gonna put some stuff on your eyes and you will be perfect - totally knock the socks off all the boys!” Penelope was excitedly digging through several bags and pulling out cosmetics. Hadrian resigned himself to his fate and sat down. She used pencils on his eyes and some sort of brushes, and then put stickers on his face, before putting something sticky on his lips that smelled like strawberries. “There - perfect. You are gonna have every eye on you.”Hadrian took a nervous breath before looking in the mirror, surprised at how he looked. His eyes, normally a bright green, were almost glowing, enhanced from the makeup. She had put something dark on his bottom eyelash line, and a sparkly purple gray on his lid, with a shimmery gold line across his top lashes. Across his nose and cheek bones were tiny gold shimmery stickers, and he realized they were tiny stars that looked like freckles. To finish it off, his lips looked soft and shiny and pink. He ran a hand through his short curls. “Is it too much?”Penelope snorted, then gestured at herself. She was wearing fishnet stockings with a short skirt, a corset that pushed her boobs up, and a short sweater thing, with platform heels. Hadrian laughed. “I guess I am not too much then. You look great by the way.””I know, I’m gorgeous. Let’s go- the others will be there, I want you to make an entrance!” With that, she grabbed his hand and pulled him down and out of her apartment building.
Aaron POV
Aaron sipped his drink, watching people move around the bar. Morgan and Garcia had guilt tripped him into getting a sitter so Hadrian could have a night off with adults, and Luna had been more than willing to take both boys for the weekend. He did feel a bit bad, Hadrian hadn’t had a real night off in months unfortunately, the last two times he had gotten a case and Hadrian had to cancel his time off. Hadrian deserved to have some fun as an adult as Garcia reminded him, hence the team deciding to go out together.He glanced at his phone, checking for texts, but still nothing. He wondered what was taking Garcia and Hadrian so long to get there, Rossi, Prentiss, and JJ were there when Morgan and Aaron had arrived. Prentiss and JJ already competing at the dart boards, and Rossi was sipping whiskey and texting his son. Blaise should be showing up with his new boyfriend soon. Aaron isn’t sure when Reid will get here, he had been oddly quiet on the subject. “Baby Girl! Look. At. You!” Morgan’s voice sounded behind him. Aaron turned to greet Garcia, sipping his drink as he moved, and promptly choked. Hadrian was looking up at him, his eyes smoky and glowing, his lips pouty and soft looking, but it was what he was wearing. Leather wrapped around thick thighs, hipbones exposed, black lace showcasing a slim waist and hard muscles. Aaron’s throat felt dry, and he was so focused on looking at Hadrian, he missed the smug looks coming from Morgan and Garcia. Garcia snatched two blue drinks, handing one to Hadrian and tapping her glass to his, before they both drank them down. She grinned and grabbed Hadrian’s hand. “Come on, dance with me!” Pulling him to the small dance floor. Aaron leaned heavily against the table watching the two of them. Garcia was encouraging Hadrian to relax and sway his hips, and soon they were both smiling dancing closely together. “Damn. I gotta get in on that.” Derek all but growled before prowling towards Garcia, pulling her against his chest and smoothly swaying, his arms around her waist, her hips slotted against his. Hadrian laughed at him cutting in and started backing up. Aaron tracked his movements, distracted by the flashes of skin exposed above his waist, so he didnt see the large blonde man making his way towards Hadrian, until he had wrapped his arms around him, pulling him into a dance. Hadrian’s easy smiled slipped away and he looked uncomfortable, and moved like he was trying to release himself from the other man’s arms. Aaron began stalking forward, anger pressing against his chest. “I’m sorry, but I need to get back to my friends…” Hadrian’s voice was gentle, but firm as he pushed against the larger man’s chest. “Come on, just one dance, I’ll show you a good time.” The man was all teeth in his smile, unyielding in hold. Aaron stepped up, invading the man’s space, looking him in the eye. “He said no. Let go, now.” His voice had deepened, an unspoken threat dripping from his words. The other man looked at Aaron, then raised his hands, taking a few steps back. Aaron glared at him until he had moved to the other side of the bar, then turned to Hadrian.”Are you alright?”Hadrian was staring at him, cheeks flushed and eyes hooded. “Yes, I’m alright now.” He stepped closer to Aaron, placing a hand on his chest. Hadrian was going to push Aaron’s self control to the extreme. “Dance with me?” He pressed closer. Aaron was powerless against the other man’s huge green eyes staring up at him. Gently, he traced the stars glittering across Hadrian’s cheek.
Derek POV
“Baby Girl, you truly outdid yourself.” Derek chuckled into his beer, arm wrapped around Penelope’s waist, tugging her close, as they watched Aaron and Hadrian dancing. “It’s a gift, truly.” She smirked up at him. “I think you broke Hotch’s brain. Where did you get clothes like that?” He twirled a lock of her hair around his finger. “Oh, lover boy, those came straight out of my closet from my goth club days.” She grinned up at him through her lashes. His grip on her waist tightened while he looked down at her. “You wore those?””Sure did. Looked good too.” His grip tightened, hand sliding down her hip, pulling her tight against him. They watched Hadrian stand on his toes and say something to Hotch, who pulled the smaller man against him when he responded, then tugged him off the dance floor towards them. “We are going to head home, Hadrian is tired.” Aaron told them as they grabbed their things. “Please tell Spencer we are sorry we missed him.” Hadrian spoke, not looking at either of them. Derek noted with amusement how flushed the dark haired man was.”Have a good night ya’ll. Don’t do anything Baby Girl and I wouldn’t do.” He leered at them, Hotch giving him an exasperated look, but also looking smug as he guided Hadrian out. Penelope tilted her head back to look up at him, mischief on her face. “Do you think that they think we aren’t aware they are going home to a child free house?”Derek laughed. “Baby Girl, I don’t think either of them care at all what we are thinking.”She sipped her drink. “Good for them.”
Hadrian POV
Hadrian woke up warm and comfortable, and instinctively he wiggled into the heat radiating into his back. His eyes flew open, when he realized the heat was from a body. He twisted in Aaron’s arms, smiling and tucking himself under Aaron’s chin. Aaron’s chest rumbled, and his arms tightened around Hadrian. “Go back to sleep Hads, no rush to get up this morning, just stay right here with me.”Hadrian drifted off again, happiness and contentment filling his chest.
