Kelly laid out across his bed in the station trying to catch a little sleep before they were dragged out to the next call. He couldn't get Shay off his mind and it was driving him crazy, all he could think about was the way her skin felt against his, the way her lips tasted just after she had woken up, how her uniform seemed to cling to her in all the right places driving him mad every time she walked past him now a days. Hearing a small brief knock on the door of his quarters he sighed and sat up swinging his legs over the edge of his bed, part of him secretly hoping it was Shay that had come to see him. "Come in." He grumbled fighting his yawn, disappointment clearly showing on his face as Casey appeared in his door way.

"Expecting someone else?" The blonde man asked his friend laughing lightly.

"Casey if all you want is to wind me up, then bugger off. I need to sleep."

"I came to ask you if you wanted to talk actually, Just because she doesn't see it doesn't mean we don't see it."

"See what Casey?" Kelly sighed lying back onto his bed.

"The way you look at Shay."

"What?"

"I said, we can all see the way you look at Shay now a days."

"Matt did you hit your head or something?"

"Kelly, how long have we known each other? Don't give me that bull."

Severide sat looking at the celling, his breath deepening as he thought about it. "What do you want me to say Casey, I'm falling for someone who I can never possibly be with because she is a lesbian."

"If that's how you feel, then yea. It's ok to have human emotions you know Kelly." Casey smiled lightly, slightly enjoying getting to lecture him about this. "You don't have to be indestructible all the time."

"Casey, she's gay." Kelly said blunty not seeing how this situation could be resolved with words.

"She had sex with you though didn't she?"

"Yea, because she wants a baby."

"How many times have you had sex Severide?"

"11, twice was in the shower, once on the sofa and the others were all in bed."

"I don't know any lesbian who is that willing to sleep with a guy."

"So she enjoys it a little doesn't mean she's attracted to me and feels for me like that does it?"

"I don't know man, but maybe if you feel this way you should tell her, or atleast stop sleeping with her it's only going to make things worse."

"I can't disappoint her now." His mind flashed back to what his dad had said to him about leaving for Madrid, 'Disappoint anybody, hell disappoint everybody, but don't you ever disappoint yourself.' Well he had found the one girl in the world he couldn't disappoint; Leslie Shay.

"Then you have to tell her how you feel."

"Not that easy."

"Why not?"

"So are you going to go and tell Dawson you're crushing on her?"

"What?"

"Come on Saint Casey, if I have to be honest then so do you!"

"She's with Mill's now."

"He's the bloody candidate and everyone knows Dawson liked you before he showed up."

"She did?"

"How blind are you?"

"I dunno I was with Hallie."

"And after that?"

"I told her I was dealing with things- Wow how stupid am I? I practically pushed her into his arms!"

"Don't beat yourself up, not all of us are rescue squad studs."

"Tell Shay how you feel." The younger lieutenant mumbled trying to avert the topic of discussion back to his friend.

"Can't."

"Just try, anyway I'm off to get some rest." Casey made his way to the door when Severide stopped him.

"You tell anyone about this I'm kicking your arse get it?"

Casey chuckled and headed out of the room, dodging Mill's and Dawson who were doing god knows what against the wall.

Kelly sat at the bar with Shay next to him, he had reduced her to orane juice deciding she shouldn't be drinking if there was a possibility she was pregnant.

"You are such a party pooper you know that!"

"Hey, you are not turning our baby into an alcoholic before it's even born."

"We don't even know if I am pregnant yet."

"But you might be." Shay laughed lightly and shook her head, Severide frowning.

"What?"

"Nothing, just… I never thought I'd see you as the straight protective dad kind of guy."

"Why, don't I fit that?"

"Never thought you would but I've decided you quite suit it."

Severide chuckled softly and drained the last of his beer; he spun to make his way to the toilet and was surprised as he crashed straight into a dark haired girl. He stumbled slightly but wasn't drunk enough to fall even managing to keep her up right. It took him a few seconds to realise but he knew this girl- it was Mills' sister. "Hey Elise right?" He smiled softly looking down at her, he had thought about pursuing her at one point until he had gotten caught up with Renee number 2.

"That's right, Lieutenant Severide. The one my brother never shuts up about." Elise smiled looking up into his gorgeous blue eyes that seemed to draw her in, as well as his boyish smile.

"Oh is that right?" Severide chuckled, finally releasing her from his grip.

"Yep, it's Severide did this, Severide did this. God I hope I can be as good as him one day." Elise mimicked her brother the pair laughing.

"I'll have to ask him about that one, how come I haven't seen you around the station at all?"

"Been super busy with mum and the restaurant, I still owe you a cooking lesson though if I am right?"

"Yea you do."

"Maybe I'll have to call over to the station and give it you soon?"

"That would be cool."

"Wanna grab a drink?"

"I'm actually…" He glance back at Shay and bit his lip, she was talking to the barmaid and he suddenly decided maybe Elise would be the best way to get over what he was feeling for Shay. "Hey Shay do you mind if I ditch you?" He asked gaining the blondes interest.

She had been watching the interaction like a hawk, rolling her eyes at the way Elise seemed to melt under Severide's gaze. 'Oh how bloody typical' She thought to herself as she sipped her juice. 'There goes another one fighting for his charm'. She let out a small laugh to herself… wait a minute what did she care what girls fell under Severide's charm, he was a lady killer and everyone knew it so why was it suddenly bothering her that he was into other women and not spending all her time with his. 'Maybe you're falling under that charm yourself' a small voice niggled in her head which she chose to ignore, impossible, she didn't even like guys. Noticing he was about to talk to her she spun her head and spoke to the bar maid ordering another drink.

His words stung, he was choosing that girl over her…"Oh no, you go ahead I was just going to go home anyway." She smiled hoping of her stool. "Cancel that drink." She mumbled quickly making her way out of the bar leaving Elise with Severide all to herself.

Shay returned home close to tears by the time she had locked herself firmly behind the apartment door. Wiping her eyes furiously she sighed and made her way to the freezer deciding she needed comfort food right now. She pulled out the tub, frowning at how light it was. Opening the lid she found a small note.

-I O U Love S –

"Jerk" She mumbled throwing the tub and the note straight in the bin. Suddenly she wanted nothing more than to curl up into bed and sleep, she stopped as she passed Severide's room where she had slept for the past two weeks now and after a small hesitation she walked on past to her own room.

Curling up into her pillows she blinked back her tears again, wearing his shirts to be probably wasn't the best idea but she just felt more comfortable with something of his around now a days. "Stupid emotions." She mumbled to herself wiping away the tear which rolled down her cheek.

It was around 12:30 when Kelly walked back into the apartment; he and Elise had lost track of time and then he had insisted on making sure she had gotten home safe with knowing how men would think seeing her out late on her own.

She was gorgeous there was no denying that and she was great company but she just didn't give him that feeling that feeling of absolute comfort and completeness that Shay did. Maybe he just needed time to move on, that's why he was seeing her again on Saturday.

He made his way to his bedroom stripping down to his boxers. Unsure of whether or not he would find Shay he opened his door cautiously; his heart sinking as he saw his bed was empty. Closing his door again he made his way into Shays room smiling as he saw her tucked up. As he climbed into the bed behind her a huge smile appeared on his face as he noticed she was sleeping in his dark grey t-shirt.

Severide tucked himself around her sighing softly as he buried his face into her neck, he knew deep down he should have gone and gotten in his own bed, sleeping with the blonde who was constantly on his mid was probably not the brightest way in the world to try and get over her but it had become a bit of a habit sleeping wrapped around her now it would feel out of place sleeping alone.

When nether Shay nor Severide had turned in for work everyone at the station had been worried, at first people had joked that they must be tucked up in bed enjoying quick fondle before work but two hours into the shift and people were worrying. On the way back from a call Casey decided they should call into the apartment and check on their colleagues. Him and Dawson made their way into the flat first, the others soon following as their curiosity got the better of him. Dawson let them all in and made her way to Severide's bedroom first as it was first in the cue. Finding it empty she smiled slightly and made her way to Shays entering slowly.

Seeing the two of them locked together sleeping she bit her lip biting back her squeals. Severide had his arms wrapped around her and her head was tucked just under his head resting on her chest. "Casey, you lot get here."

"What, what is it?" Casey asked being the first to get to the door with Dawson. He frowned his immediate thought worry for his friend; this was not what he had expected Kelly to do with his worries. Mouch, Otis, Hermann, Mills and Cruz all pushed through into the door way, stupid grins appearing on their faces.

"How the hell does he do that?" Hermann grumbled.

"Do what?"

"He just gets women wrapped around his little finger, I mean she's gay and look at her!"

"Guys, leave them alone." Dawson defended the couple.

"They are right they should we not wake them?" Casey coughed crossing his arms.

"Severide!" He called across the room calling both sleeping adults, the pair of them jolting.

Shay immediately looked at the clock her face filling with panic as she shook Kelly. "Shit, Kelly wake up we slept in like way bad!" She had forgotten to turn her alarm back on in her room as they had been sleeping in his.

"What?" He groaned rubbing his eyes as he sat up, his face instantly locking with Casey's.

"We're late…" Shay started as Kelly turned her around she froze seeing the group.

"What the hell you guys get out!" Shay shouted throwing her cushion at them, the whole group who quickly retreated but they were all laughing each other singing the typical rhyme.

"Shay and Severide sitting in a tree K.I.S.S.I.N.G."

"Jerks!" Dawson called after them as she followed after winking at Shay.

"Hum…" Casey coughed not really sure where to look. "You guys should get into work; chief wants to see you as soon as you get in."

Shay moaned and flopped back down onto the bed as Severide couldn't help but chuckle. "Oh we are in so much trouble." He laughed Shay smacking his chest.
