spring theme! also my first ncis theme in over a year which is taking me back!! title matching (as always) with @anepiphany<3

thinking about how hotch says “i love you” to penelope so many times that it becomes something he does without thinking, an easy response to the genius work she does. when they start dating, he clamps down on his use of “i love you” because he doesn’t want to freak her out, until she asks him why he doesn’t say it anymore. he tells her why and she smiles at him and says “i love you, aaron hotchner” and that’s all the permission he needs to slip the phrase back into his vocabulary, only this time, even when they’re on speakerphone with the whole team, he means that he cherishes every little thing that makes penelope who she is

for your consideration: jennifer jareau with a pittsburgh accent
