   Summary

   Aaron Hotchner accepted a long time ago that he was never going to be able to be his true self. Not only was it illegal, it was highly unlikely that he’d ever find someone willing to be in hiding with him for the rest of their lives, unless America got a whole lot more open and accepting.

   It’s not perfect, but he’s reasonably happy with his life. He has the T birds, his friend group, and he’s one of the most desired guys at his school, even if none of the girls hold a candle to the men he looks at in the copies of ONE magazine he keeps hidden under his mattress.

   That all changes when Spencer Reid transfers to Oakdale to finish his senior year.
