Chapter Text
I didn't like agent rossi when he first joined. he was antagonistic and independent and we didn't click. he did grow on me, most people do, and i appreciated his dedication to our work.
i thought of him as a coworker, almost a friend, until that fateful day.
we were raiding the church with the crazy pastor who rossi was building a relationship with. it was a normal stressful day and two of my friends were stuck on the inside.
rossi left to go deliver food to the church, and my brain stopped functioning. he had his shirt rolled up to his elbows and his jeans were sitting so perfectly on him. he looked so attractive, suddenly, there was no denying it.
i pushed it down to deal with later, after the case, and as soon as i was back home in bed i started thinking about him. his strong arms, his brown eyes, his large frame, his kind face. my mind drifted to us doing other things and i had to quickly avert that train of thought. he was my coworker! and much older than me!
after that i tried to hide my attraction but its a lot harder around profilers. anytime he would get close to me my heart would start pounding and my brain wouldn't function properly. i would get noticeably more nervous despite how hard i would try to hide it.
my gaze would linger over him whenever he finished speaking and when he wasn't paying attention. i would be overly worried about him when he was on the field and could only relax when he was safe beside me.
