"Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be"

Thomas Kempis

Aaron Hotchner is an ass. Yes, an ass. He annoys me, and frustrates me and makes me want to scream.

He leaves the toilet seat up, his dirty socks under the bed and the dishes never make it from the sink to the dishwasher. He brings his work home with him. He forgets that it's Prentiss at work and Emily at home. He's a workaholic and leaves papers all over the dining room table. He takes my post-it notes and stapler. He also steals the pen out of my handbag. He uses my bobby pins as paperclips and then complains when they don't work. He fiddles with the radio settings in my car and moves the rear view mirror. He fills out the crossword before I get a chance to look at it. He alphabetises the DVD and CD collection.

Aaron Hotchner is an ass. Yes, an ass. He annoys me, and frustrates me and makes me want to scream... and I love him.

I love his imperfections, I love how he leaves the toilet seat up, his dirty socks under the bed and the dishes in the sink. I love that he's dedicated to his work and shows that dedication in all aspects of his life. I love that he calls me Prentiss at work and Emily at home. I love that the lives of the people the BAU help are just important as our personal lives, even if that means I have to sacrifice my dining room table. I love it that he knows what is mine is his and what is his is mine. I love that he knows me well enough to know what's in my handbag. I love his ingenuity... even if it doesn't always work out. I love that he's comfortable enough to be himself. I love how smart he is. I love his slightly obsessive tendencies.

I'm in love with Aaron Hotchner.

"Even imperfection itself may have its ideal or perfect state"
