Criminal Minds Imagines (Discontinued)

Alex Blake x Reader

A/n: This is sort of a prequel to the part where Alex and y/n are in a hidden relationship. It'll be about how they got together and managed to sneak around behind the teams back for so long. This part is for AaronandEmilysbitch because she suggested it a while ago and it's thanks to her genius that this part exists. Thank you so much for your support and such lovely words <3.

Y/n's POV

Pulling up outside Dave's mansion with a sigh I grab my handbag as I climb out of the car and walk inside to be greeted by an overly happy Erin who puts a santa hat on my head with a grin. Scowling at her as I fix the hat I let her pull me over to the drinks table and relax slightly when she hands me a glass of wine making her chuckle as she kisses my cheek. "Thank you for coming tonight y/n, I know that you'd much rather be at home with a book but I really do appreciate you coming." She says as she plays with the glass in her hands and I raise an eyebrow at her worriedly.  "It's non alcoholic don't worry, I just feel bad knowing that you're here against your will."

"Erin I'm actually looking forward to the party I'm just... you know how I feel about the holidays." I tell her and she smiles slightly as she pulls me into a hug that I happily return. "Did you have to go for the hat though? I feel ridiculous." I say with a chuckle and she laughs as she pulls back to look at me.

"You should see Alex, I got her to wear reindeer antlers with bells on them." She says and I raise an eyebrow at that as I scan the room to find said woman only to come up empty. "She's in the kitchen trying to convince Dave to break out the good whiskey."

"Who's going to rescue him this time?" I ask with a laugh and she nudges me with a laugh of her own. "How are things between you and Dave anyway? Last I heard things were a bit strained because of Curtis."

"We're getting there but things are still rocky. I think he's scared that Curtis forcing me to lose my sobriety is going to send me on a downwards spiral but I'm determined to prove it isn't. Honestly I think that I've come out of the whole thing stronger, he made me realise that I had been living in fear of relapsing. Yes I know that it is something that I have to worry about but I can't spend every day fixating on it, it was doing that that blinded me to what was right in front of me the whole time." She says with a grin and I rest my hand on her arm lightly making her tip her glass to me slightly. "You're turn to spill it. What's going on between you and Alex and don't try and ply me with the we're just friends bullshit because we both know that it's a load of crap and has been since we were all agents together."

"I know that you don't want to hear it but we really are just friends Erin, we always have been." I tell her with a sigh and she looks at me knowingly making me chuckle as I shake my head at her. "Do I have feelings for the gorgeous brunette? Yes, you know damn well that I do Erin. You figured that out before I did for fuck sake but if you remember rightly she's straight, married and had a son. A son that I was the godmother to for fuck sake, nothing ever has and nothing ever will happen between us and it's nothing for the lack of want on my part." I admit and she looks at me with wide eyes before pulling me into a tight hug making me sigh as I hug her back.

"I'm sorry, I didn't even stop to think about how all of that would factor into things y/n." She says as she breaks the hug and I just shake my head at that with a smile. "How are you coping with everything that's happened anyway? We've barely had time to talk properly with all the cases you guys have caught recently."

"I'm alright, you know me better than anyone Erin." I tell her and she nudges me with a knowing look making me chuckle. "Alright, alright, yes. Things are... weird and it's taking me some time to wrap my head around it all but other than that I really am fine."
