AN: I already wrote a Oneshot about Linseride and since I recevied so many good comments I decided to start this story about Erin and Kelly. English is not my first language so, considering how "difficult" is for me, the chapters will be small chapters (a least at the beginning. I hope I can improve with time) I have to thanks a lovely writer of for the help and the support, so Chicago Firestarter thanks a lot :) This story is a Linseride story all the way because I LOVE them so much, so if you don't like them you'll probably not gonna like this story. Anyway remember that reviews are always appreciated and it help the authors to understand how they can make happy their "fans". So feel free to tell me what you all think :) Enjoy :D Roby (from italy)
PS speaking of Linseride, I have some project for them. It's not about writing so if you wanna be part of this project, contact me with a PM and I'll give you my personal email so I can tell you everything.

Kelly Severide could perfectly remember the first time he had met Det. Erin Lindsay. It was the night of the huge blackout and since then he knew he was gone for that girl.
The dimples, the warm brown hair, the smiles, those hazel eyes so bright he could definitely keep watching without getting tired of them. Ever. She was beautiful and she was strong and independent. A real tough cookie that one, and Kelly was intrigued. He had some pretty girls in his past but no one… really none of them was as beautiful as Erin Lindsay.
He felt something different, something he had never felt before, in his stomach every single time he talked to her; something similar to excitement and expectation. Love at first sight someone would say.
He could perfectly remember that raspy voice and the feeling that hit him the first time he heard it.
«That's actually not why I stopped by» she said.
And all he heard was "stopped" while he was trying to stop his heartbeat. It was inconvenient in that moment, he thought. She was talking about something dangerous and serious, but the only thing he was thinking was how sexy that voice was.
Yes! Kelly Severide was lost from that first minute she walked in the Firehouse, and there was no coming back from it.
He smiled at the redhead girl in front of him taking the flowers with his left hand. «Thanks!» he said gently before walking out of the shop. He watched the sky upon him and took a deep breath in the street of the cold Chicago.
He was nervous, but in a good way. He was excited like a baby on Christmas morning. He checked the time, it was 8.00 pm; reservations for dinner were at 8.30 pm so he was punctual. His mind started wandering, thinking about what Erin would wear: a dress? Jeans and a t-shirt? He had this image of her in his mind...his heart was a flutter with the thought of her in a red dress. Those beautiful lips colored with the same red, her hair free on her shoulders; the perfect frame for that beautiful face.
He shook his head smiling at his own thoughts and stopped the car in front of Lindsay's place. He climbed the stairs whistling with the flowers in one hand and the car keys in the other. When he got in front of Erin's door, he knocked twice before she opened.
«Hey!» she said with a lipstick in her hand «I am a little bit late. Do you mind coming inside and waiting just a few minutes?»
He shook his head again but he couldn't resist. He took her face gently with his free hand and put a kiss on her lips. She sighed when he let go of her and smiled «You look beautiful,» he said.
She laughed a little and kissed him again very softly. «Maybe I shouldn't put on the lipstick tonight. If your plan for this date involves kisses like this for the rest of the night it would be pointless.»
Kelly nodded, «Good idea.»
Erin nodded, biting her bottom lip and glanced at the flowers in Kelly's hand «Those flowers are for me?»
«Not really!» answered Kelly. «I saw your neighbor, the blonde one. She's very pretty so I thought to bring some flowers for her.»
Erin smiled, «Really? So nice of you.»
«I know, I'm a good boy. Very gentle.»
Erin took the flowers smiling and looked at him for a few seconds. She blushed; she could feel her face on fire. She cleared her throat and rested one hand on his chest. «Let me put these in a vase and then we can go. I'm starving.»
He kissed the tip of her nose «Good. Because I have a reservation at a very good Mexican restaurant.»
«Uuh…» she murmured «Spicy food. I like.»
Kelly followed her with his eyes as she walked towards the kitchen. He sighed feeling happy for the first time in months.
In the kitchen, Erin smiled looking at the flowers. She put them in the water and took a deep breath thinking about the first time she met Kelly. The first time she heard his voice.
«I'll take my chances,» he said.
But all she could hear in that moment was her heart beating faster. She put the lipstick on the table and slipped on her shoes before going back to him. «I'm ready.»
Kelly Severide smiled and took her hand in his before talking again. «Me too,» he said, and deep down inside they both knew he wasn't just talking about dinner.
