“Morning, bro.” Sean marched in and headed straight to the kitchen. “Any coffee?”
“Good morning to you too.” Hotch commented and closed the front door. “And no, I haven’t made any coffee yet.”
“You’re a lousy host.” Sean grabbed a bagel from the counter and started munching.
“I just woke up ten minutes ago. Why are you even up and about at eight in the morning? Especially on a Saturday morning.”
“I was on my way home when I realised I haven’t seen my dear big brother for a while.”
“According to my experience, that means: You had a date last night, you got lucky and this morning you sneaked out of the bed before she woke up. On your way home you decided to come and see if you could bum a breakfast.”
“You’re good.”
“And still half asleep.” Hotch pulled his bathrobe tighter around himself and started the coffee. “I didn’t get much sleep last night.” His last sentence was accompanied by a goofy smirk.
“I know that look.” Sean beamed. “You finally did what I told you to do and got laid.”
“Actually I’ve been getting laid on regular basis for the last few months. So you don’t need to drag me to any more of those single bars.”
“I did that once! And you ditched me there and took off with that-” He paused and took a good look at Hotch. “Wait a minute….. Are we talking about that guy you met when we went out? That…. I can’t remember his name…. that Morgan look-a-like.”
“Chad. And yes, it’s the same guy.”
“Is he here now? Why am I asking? Why else would you have a sleepless night? I wanna meet him.”
“He’s still asleep.”
“Great. You can give me the tasty details and I’ll grill him when he comes downstairs.”
“Bad idea.” Hotch smirked. “I have a feeling he would eat you for breakfast. He ran into Hailey once, and she still hasn’t recovered.”
“Fine, but give me the basics. How’s sex?”
“Excellent, thanks for asking. Change the topic.”
“Top, bottom or versatile?”
“None of your business.”
“Come on…..”
“Versatile.”
“Durability?”
“Sean.”
“Hey, I gotta make sure my big bro is getting the good stuff! You’re too old to settle for some lousy that-was-pretty-nice man-action.”
“Thank you, that was very touching.”
“So, durability?”
“He goes to the gym six times a week and comes back even more energetic than he was when he left. Draw your own conclusions.”
“Sounds good so far. Is it serious?”
“I don’t know. Hopefully.”
“Coffee?” Chad’s voice echoed from the stairs.
“Brewing.” Hotch yelled back.
“Great, when I’m fully awake I’ll take you back upstairs and-” Chad walked into the kitchen and spotted Sean. “-and bend you over the dresser. Morning.”
“Morning.” Sean nodded. “Rough night?”
“And very rewarding. I’ve seen you somewhere haven’t I?”
“Yeah, the bar counter, leaving you two have some privacy, dumping me there all alone…. Ring any bells?”
“I remember, the little brother.”
“Yep.”
“What are you doing here at this hour?”
“Bumming breakfast.”
“Okay.” Chad shrugged and sat down next to the kitchen counter. Aaron handed him a steaming cup of coffee and paused. Sean looked at him and followed his line of vision down Chad’s bathrobe. It was hanging open down to the belt, leaving his toned chest and abs visible.
Sean leaned closer to his brother and snapped his fingers in front of his face.
“Snap out of it. I want coffee too.”
Chad kept calmly sipping his coffee and gave both of them an amused glance.
“I’m getting flashbacks of my own brother.”
“Younger or older?” Sean asked and got up from his chair to get himself a mug.
“One year younger. We shared a flat when I was in college.”
“And you didn’t kill each other?”
“There was some close calls.”
“Sounds familiar. By the way I heard you met Hailey.”
“Very briefly.”
“And I heard you rattled her cage a bit.”
“Just a little bit.”
“That’s like a badge of honour, man. Anyone who can shake the Queen Bitch is my kinda guy.”
“Sean.” Hotch interrupted.
“What? It’s not like I’m saying that to her face.”
“Not that I don’t enjoy the warm brotherly chat, but are you planning to stay?” Chad asked. “We had some plans for today.”
“Yeah, I heard your plans when you were coming in.” Sean grinned.
“So? You wanna stay for a cheerful little threesome?” Chad asked and emptied his mug.
“I know what you`re doing.” Sean poured himself another cup of coffee. “You’re trying to scare me away so you two could go back upstairs. You’re gonna have to come up with something bigger than that to scare me.”
“I think I can scare you.” Chad countered calmly.
“Try me.”
Chad simply got up and pulled his robe open.
Sean’s eyes moved down Chad’s body and his face turned white. For a minute he simple stared at Chad with his mouth hanging open. Hotch stepped in to save the coffee cup, that was about to fall from his hands.
“I think I’ll leave you alone now.” Sean swallowed nervously. He was backing to the direction of the front door before he had even finished his sentence. “I….. I’ll call you later, bro.”
He turned around and practically ran out.
“That was cruel.” Hotch chuckled.
“But fun. And you don’t get scared, do you?”
“I’m a trained FBI agent, I’m been prepared to handle scary situations face to face.”
