Fics like Headfirst Into Shallow Pools

The soft glow of the pool light casts dancing shadows on his already gaunt features, accentuating his high cheekbones, his deep set eyes and exhaustion ridden dark circles. He’s as beautiful as always, in Aaron’s eyes. Ethereal, almost. Deeply burdened. Hotch makes his mind up easily then, nodding along as he processes Reid’s distressed rambling and reaching down to start untying his shoes. It’s only when he stands again and starts to approach the pool that Reid finally looks up, his brows climbing his forehead when he notices Hotch moving to sit beside him. “What are you doing?” He asks quietly, squinting almost as if he’s suspicious of Hotch’s motive here. Maybe he is. Aaron can be self aware enough to admit this is an uncharacteristic move for him. Spencer tends to bring that out in him. “Sitting with you,” Hotch replies as if it’s obvious, as if this is at all normal for him. AKA Spencer has a bad night, and Hotch is there to make it better.
