cute gotch frienship and implied hotchreid (well, hotch has a crush on spencer)
okay so we all know about Spencer spilling the tea at girl's night but hear me out: hotch and Penelope monthly baking gossip weekend!!!
on a calm Saturday they meet at Penelope's to drink cocktails, bake cupcakes, and gossip
you can just imagine hotch in his casual shirt and jeans, sneakers, coming into Penelope's sacred apartment of comfort and all things good and nice, looking out of place but feeling so at home. he's been there countless times before, he's slept on that fluffy couch.
now he's taken his shoes off at the entrance and a frilly apron with strawberries on it is shoved into his face
"i got us matching aprons! loook mine has PEACHES!" and aaron loves them, let's penelope snap a selfie of their matching outfits
they drink and bake, improvising and having fun. throwing flour at each other here and there, sneakily adding too much vanilla to the other's batter. "jokes on you, vanilla bean, there's no such thing as too much vanilla"
"did you just call me vanilla bean?" hotch frowns his frowny eyebrow frown and pouts his pouty lips
"yes because there's never enough of you" pen pinches his cheeks
they're sitting at the foot of the couch like on the floor in front of it, something like grey's anatomy playing in the background (lol) as they pick at their food
"okay! who made the cutest cupcakes?" Penelope wants to have a competition. they compare their decorations and Garcia comes to the conclusion that hotch's butterfly cupcake was the 'cutest sweetest one yet'
Aaron, sloshed, goes "like Spencer." and takes a bite of it. Penelope does a squeal that could maybe be "ahjkshsdjj whaaaaaat!" in a certain language but not english
"Spencer. he's the cutest and sweetest one." Aaron thought is was obvious.
"you think Spencer's cute?"
"everyone thinks Spencer's cute"
"and every one knows derek is adonis but you don't say that"
"well i don't want to kiss derek."
and that's when hotch realizes what he's saying and goes SO RED, big man blushes
"YOU WANNA KISS SPENCER?!" penelope all but squeaks, understandably loosing her shit
