What brought us here
This is only my second Chicago fire fic,I have always kind of like the idea of Dawson and Severide,I'm not a big Dawsey fan for some reason. Spoilers for season 3 finale this follows what happened after that fire,where they were trapped and goes from that point. So nothing from after that part of the episode happened. Casey isn't missing and Katya is alive and Mills never left. I guess that makes this story AU
After being trapped in the building together a lot changed between Severide and Dawson,they became closer friends and things started to change between them.
Gabby knocked on door to Kelly's quarters it had been a slow day and he had been hauled up in his office doing paper work for the last few hours, "can I come in"
Kelly nodded as he chewed on his pen, "enter at your own risk"
Dawson laughed, "You behind"
Kelly nodded, "Trying not to be but it's not working in my favor"
Gabby smiled as she plopped on his bed Indian style and Severide couldn't help but think of Shay doing the same thing many times while he worked into the night trying not to get behind on things. That feat was a never ending battle, his desk was laced with reports that were overdue and folders were scattered everywhere it was his own type of organization.
"I'm going to read for a while, can't fall asleep, the bunk room is like a snoring chorous"Gabby replied.
"I don't miss that, haven't missed it in years" Kelly replied.
"it's awful I'm not sure who is worse Otis or Mouch or maybe Hermann" Dawson mumbled as she settled into her book.
"Whatcha reading" Kelly asked.
"'The last song'" Gabby replied.
Kelly smiled "Shay loved that book"
Gabby nodded, "I know she did and the movie to"
"Well i should be finished up with this in about an hour then I'm hitting the hay"Kelly replied.
"Breakfast at the diner in the morning" Dawson questioned not looking up from her book.
Kelly flipped the paper he was filling out over, "you don't even half to ask anymore"
"I'm going to finish my book and then head to bed" Gabby said.
Kelly nodded as he shoved his report into a manila folder and stood up to put it in his out box, knowing Connie would grab it in the morning.
Gabby looked up from her book, "that was fast"
Kelly shrugged and started his next report, "I have about 5 more of those to finish up"
"How do rememember everything"Gabby asked.
"I don't this does"Kelly said pointing to his call log book that was sitting on his desk open to the last shift.
Dawson nodded, "should have known"
Kelly smiled a little at the brunette who now laying on her stomach with her feet in the air as she finished her book, so much had changed between them in the last few months and it was a good change. Life was seemingly getting easier without Shay and Kelly was starting to think Shay had pushed them together from Heaven because she knew they needed each other.
