Broken hearts healing

AN:this story was a request,it's another Dawson and Severide starts out mid season 1 and will continue through to present day,following along with some of the storylines from the show but is AU.

"So where were you last night?"Shay asked as Kelly made his way into the apartment.

"Out!" Kelly replied as he made himself a cup of coffee and then went upstairs to get ready for work.

"So your really not gonna tell me?" Shay asked.

"I went out i got drunk and went home with someone." Kelly replied.

"I didn't know you were seeing anyone since Caroline." Shay added as Kelly shut his bedroom door.

Kelly shook his head as he pulled a work shirt over his head "I never said i was seeing anyone Shay i said I went out and ended up going home with someone!"

Meanwhile Gabby Dawson was trying to figure out exactly how she had let last night happen. Sure she had been upset over telling Matt she wasn't going to wait for him anymore,but she hadn't expected to end up bringing anyone home especially not Kelly Severide.

As Gabby showered and got ready to go work she kept replaying the night in her head.

"So what brings you out tonight?" Kelly asked as he took the empty stool next to Gabby at 'The Barrel'.

Gabby turned hearing the familiar voice "I told matt i didn't want to wait on him anymore"

Kelly sighed knowing that Matt Casey had been playing 'Cat and mouse' with her since he and Halie had broken up, "Caroline called me again she still wants to work things out"

Gabby raised an eyebrow "didn't she cheat twice"

Kelly shook his head as he took a swig of his beer "three times actually and i was stupid enough to let it happen you'd think after Rene I'd smarten up a little but no obviously not"

"You told her no right please tell me your not trapping yourself again"

Kelly nodded "Yeah of course i did i mean life's short Dawson we all learned that from loosing Andy but it isn't short enough for me to take her back again,i should have learned the first time she's nothing but 'badge bunny'"

Gabby chuckled "i could have told you that the first day i met her" and after that the rest of the night was kind of a blur to both of them.

" Someone had some fun last night." Capp teased as Kelly took his spot at the squad table.

Kelly raised an eyebrow in his direction "why do you say that?"

"You look like you have a coat hanger stuck in your teeth, you've got that goofy grin on your face Darden always teased you about!" Capp added.

Kelly chuckled "i did have fun last night"

Meanwhile in the ambo shay was going on and on about Kelly hadn't come home until the morning and how he wouldn't tell her much of anything.

"No offense Shay but his sex life really isn't your business is it"Gabby asked.

Shay shrugged "i guess not but he usually atleast gives the women a name you know he wouldn't say anything"

This time it was Dawson who shrugged "he'll come around eventually,Caroline really hurt him Shay he needs some time"

"Right" Shay replied as she backed the ambo back inside the apparatus floor.

As was to be expected Kelly and gabby spent the shift dancing around each other trying to let their coeworkers figure out that anything had happened.

When Kelly walked out of the firehouse the next morning Gabby was waiting on him in the parking lot "So we never really talked about the other night"

Kelly shrugged "and this is the place to talk about what happened"

"I guess not but meet me later down at the pier we could grab dinner and figure this out"

Kelly rolled his eyes "Gabby it was one night we were drunk you were upset i was upset is there more to it than that"

"There could be more to it then that Kelly Severide think about it and let me know if you want to meet up later"

"I have some stuff to do today but i'll call you later" Kelly said as he got in his car and drove away leaving gabby by herself and confused. Maybe Kelly was right maybe there wasn't anything else to it but she wouldn't say she didn't like it because she did it had been the best thing that had happened in the last couple of months.
