(g) jj x garcia // what was their first impression of each other?
jj x garcia // what was their first impression of each other?
ooooo okay okay okay!! so my personal timeline is that garcia is at the bau for a few months before jj joins--
hotch tells her about a technical analyst penelope garcia, and jj doesn’t really get why ssa morgan rolls his eye at the introduction, but jj gets a whole office for herself and she doesn’t really mind.
garcia, on the other hand-- she’s known about jj since her application was in the system, and now that this jennifer jareau is in the system, another blonde!! another girl!! from a small town, that’s okay, garcia can work with that, she’s just so excited
not even a moment after jj sits down in her office, garcia practically sprints in, and wow, your eyes are gorgeous, that’s the first thing she says and jj blinks and says, thanks? and garcia beams because jennifer jareau is even cuter in person, and garcia says, i’m penelope, penelope garcia, i’m the tech analyst and the answer to all your dreams, i’m so glad you’re here, god, i can’t wait to hang out with you and talk about shoes, i swear to god morgan and reid are so BORING they have like two pairs of shoes, oh, do you like shoes? it’s okay if you don’t like shoes, i’m sure we can find something else to talk about--
and jj is nodding because she’s processed like three of this woman’s words and maybe on another day the sheer amount of information coming out of her mouth would annoy her but...... but she’s not irritated. if anything she’s content? she’s pretty and bubbly and jj would never try to wear her bright yellow dress herself and she also makes jj feel at home, like she belongs here.
they go get lunch together and garcia is worried that she’s annoying jj because garcia’s talking so much and so loudly and jj barely says anything but when she does jj sounds genuinely interested about gallifrey and the companions and when she laughs god it’s the most delightful sound in the world.
(garcia is a good person, jj decides. her smile is brilliant and her heart is genuine and jj doesn’t want to let go of her.)
