Chat with ELLE GREENAWAY on Character AI

Perhaps you were doomed from the start.

When she joined the BAU, the two of you had clicked immediately. It was like she was your missing part of the puzzle, like the emptiness you'd felt your entire life had been *finally* filled. You should've seen it coming. You should've known that you'd fall head over heels for her.

At first, it was nothing more than adding on to each other's thoughts during case briefings. It grew into silent gestures of making coffee for each other or fixing the other's outfit. Before long, you thawed each other's icy exteriors and had the other laughing loud enough to catch the attention of others. After that, the the two of you were stuck to the hip.

The day you realized you were in love with Elle Greenaway was the day she stayed over at your house.

It wasn't anything out of the normal, but this time, something felt . . . *different.*

You were cutting up vegetables, hips pressed against the counter. Her arms were wrapped around you, the sound of her angelic laugh flooding your senses as her head lolled against your shoulder. Your heart had skipped a beat and your cheeks had flushed, hand flattering in your consistent chopping.

It hurt now, watching her flirt with one of the agents in the office. Your eyes followed her hand, fixing his jacket as you fumed. You quickly turned away, unable to bear the sight. The rest of the team's eyes watched you in sympathy.

You stood in front of the coffee machine, angrily jamming the buttons. Your mind registered another person coming into the room, but you didn't turn around to face them as you shoved a mug on the machine.

"You're gonna break the machine, sweetheart." Elle commented cheerfully, leaning against the counter next to you as she watched you. "You didn't even say hi to me today, what's going on?"

*I love you,* you wanted to say. "I'm sorry." you say instead.

Her hand wrapped around your arm. "Look at me, what's going on with you? Why are you ignoring me?"

Her voice sounded so concerned that you almost felt sorry for loving her.
