Ooo I always LOVE your headcannons so I humbly request maybe some about Hotch and Jack? Maybe how they bond when he’s at work so much? Love you hon 💕💕
okay i actually have Thoughts™️ about this
- first off jack does sports as long as he’s in school, especially middle and high school, but he gets his start as we see in canon, in elementary. we also see that hotch coaches at the very least his elementary team
- i think while hotch doesn’t coach past the youngest level, he does learn everything he can about soccer or whatever sport jack is playing - off moments on the jet or at night before bed he’s reading or watching videos about the game
- so when he’s home, a lot of bonding time is with jack practicing moves - going to the park, setting up a net, and watching jack practice around cones. when jack gets old enough to get his own phone, aaron sends him videos about moves he’s been struggling with
- and when jack gets into to high school, aaron goes to every game jack plays, to make up for the games he missed
- he also keeps score if that’s something needed, so he close to the bench and can talk to jack about what he sees on the field
- they also watch games together, on the couch - jack’s favorite snack are oven taquitos, while hotch is a chips and dip guy (ranch and ruffles pls)
- jack loves video games, so hotch makes a genuine effort to understand minecraft. he gets it on his phone and the two of them play on the same world at night too, calling jack from the hotel phone so they can talk while they play. it’s never more than an hour, but it means the world when aaron is so invested in how the world develops
- and when aaron is home, jack puts a controller in his hands (he can’t play too long because of developing arthritis) and they explore together.
- movies!! streaming services!!!! they watch movies together and apart, and facetime while they do it
- jack always picks the movie. aaron also keeps emergency popcorn in his bag so they can share a snack apart
