The team had just landed after an extremely tiring and long case, Y/N just wanted to go home as she trudged off the jet and into the office.

Though once she was through the BAU doors and into the round table room her mood changed entirely because she saw Penelope Garcia waiting for the team with boxes of pizza.

"What's this Penelope?" Derek asks, pointing to the boxes of pizza.

"Well, I knew you were all landing soon so I ordered pizza for everyone since I figured you'd all be hungry." Penelope replies with a smile on her face as she hold the boxes out to them.

Y/N's face lit up as she opened one of the boxes, grabbing out a slice of her favorite pizza before taking a bite and saying with a mouthful of pizza, "Penelope Garcia, you are an angel."

Penelope felt her cheeks heating up at Y/N's words, "Why thank you my little sugarplum, dig in."

Everyone sat around the table eating their slices of pizza and chatting with each other, just enjoying the company after such a long case.

After awhile Hotch says, "After that case I think we all need a break. Go home tonight and get a good nights rest and you all don't have to worry about coming in tomorrow, just come back Wednesday okay? Great work team."

At the sound of that everyone cheers and claps, thanking Hotch for the day off because it's been a very long time since they've had any time off, cases kept piling in and keeping everyone busy.

Slowly each member starts to disperse, starting with Hotch until there were only two left, Penelope and Y/N.

Once the two have finished the remaining pizza they clean up the round table, tossing all the boxes and napkins scattered around it before shutting the lights off.

"Do you need a ride home Penn?" Y/N asks her best friend before grabbing her discarded go bag that was on her desk.

"Yes please." She replies, her bubbly personality still showing through even with how tired she is.

The two get into the elevator and Y/N pushes the button to take them to the parking lot where her car resided. When they made their way into the parking lot Penelope followed behind Y/N until they made it to her spot.

Y/N walks around to the passenger side, unlocking the door before opening it for Penelope, "After you m'lady."

Penelope's cheeks heat up as she climbs into the passenger seat, Y/N waiting until she was in fully to shut the door for her before walking around to her own door, unlocking it and climbing into the drivers seat.

It doesn't take long before they're pulling into Penelope's driveway and parking the car, a soft yawn escaping Y/N's lips.

"Why don't you stay over tonight? It's almost midnight and you seem really tired, you can crash with me in my room and since we have the day off we can maybe do something fun tomorrow?" Penelope suggests before getting out of the car.

"That sounds great, I'm beat after that case. It's official that was by far the worst case I've worked on since I've started here." Y/N says as she rubs her tired eyes, the two getting out of the car and locking the doors after.

Penelope unlocks the door to her apartment before the two walk in, locking the door behind them before trudging to Penelope's room.

Once they made it into her room Y/N flops face first onto the bed, not even caring that she's still wearing her work clothes.

"Here sugar, take these to change into I'm sure it'll be more comfortable for you." Penelope says as she tosses a pair of her sweatpants and a t-shirt at her before grabbing out something for herself to change into.

Y/N groans in protest but gets up anyway and trudges into the bathroom before changing into Penelope's clothes, walking back into her bedroom after as she drops her clothes on the floor resuming her place face first in bed.

The sight of it causes Penelope to giggle, covering Y/N up before climbing into bed with her and covering herself up after as the two drift off to sleep.

When the two woke up the next morning they found theirselves entangled with each other, cuddled close.

"Good morning sugarplum, how did you sleep last night?" Penelope says as the two stay in the same position, not daring to move just yet.

Y/N yawns quietly before she replies with, "Good morning, I slept great Penn how did you sleep?"

"I slept great as well so, what do you want to do today?" She asks with a smile on her face.

"I say we go get lunch since it's already noon, and then come back here to have a movie marathon?" Y/N suggests, a smile making its way onto her face matching Penelope's.

"That actually sounds lovely, let me get dressed you can grab something to change into if you don't have anything in your go bag." Penelope says before reluctantly getting out of bed.

Y/N does the same before replying, "For once I actually have extra clothes and don't have to steal yours Penn, are you proud of me?" as a small giggle slips out of her mouth.

"Wow! That's a miracle, you normally never have extra clothes in your go bag, I'm very proud of you." She says with a soft laugh, "Now let's get ready because I am starving."

Once the two have gotten dressed they head out to Y/N's car, driving to their lunch destination which just so happened to be a pasta place close to Penelope's apartment the two loved.

They ordered their normal order of Fettuccine Alfredo and bread sticks, eating in comfortable silence and just enjoying their food and the other woman's company.

Y/N didn't want to ruin any of this friendship that they had so she continuously hides her feelings for Penelope, not knowing how she'd react if she found out.

After finishing their food they head back to Penelope's house after grabbing some extra clothes from Y/N's house for work tomorrow, the women planning to have a movie marathon late into the night before carpooling in the morning.

Arriving at Penelope's house Y/N sits on the couch as Penelope looks through her ever growing stash of movies, "How about starting with Warm Bodies?" She asks while holding the case up for Y/N to see.

"Oooh yes! I like that movie." She says with a smile, grabbing their snacks and preparing for the movie.

Penelope sits down and the two lean against each other, watching the movie silently as they snack on popcorn and various candies they picked up at the store and before they know it they're nearing the end.

It finally gets to the part where R and Julie kiss for the first time in the pool when Y/N feels a pair of lips press against her own, she's so stunned that she doesn't even kiss back before Penelope's hastily removing her lips off Y/N's.

"W-What was that Penn?" Y/N stutters out, looking over at her crush and best friend.

"I was just kind of hoping that you'd, you know, fall in love with me Y/N." Penelope blurts out, tired of hiding her feelings for her best friend.

"Penelope... I've already fallen in love with you, silly girl. I've always been in love with you. You're a little bubbly ray of sunshine that brightens up my days. So if you want me, I'm yours." Y/N says to Penelope after taking one of her hands into her own.

"Wait.. you are? Then why didn't you kiss me back?" Penelope questions.

"Because I did not expect you to kiss me, it took me off guard dear." Y/N says with a giggle.

"Then, Y/N, will you be my girlfriend?" Penelope asks, holding both of Y/N's hands in her own.

"Of course I'll be your girlfriend, sweet pea." Y/N says with a smile before leaning in to kiss Penelope gently, her arms wrapping around her.

"I'm glad you're finally mine." Penelope says after the kiss ends, a huge smile on her face.

"And I'm glad I'm yours finally too, Penn. You light up my world."
