Another OS is up! I'm trying to pump out as much of these as possible, because inspiration is still around. Hope everyone is enjoying them!

This is set in Season 4, between 4x01-4x02.

As long as I got you and me
Moving through this world as a two-man team
I'll always have everything I need

Jay glanced across this table to stare at his girlfriend working silently away on her computer. Nearly everyone was out at the office, either on lunch or chasing down leads. It was just the two of them upstairs, Voight having been pulled into another meeting with IAD.

"Oh ho ho!" Ruzek called out as he ascended the stairs two at a time. "Lunch is here, let's eat. I am starving!" He briskly walked past Erin and Jay and plopped the food onto the break room table. Atwater brought up the rear, giving fist bumps to both Erin and Jay as he walked past.

Jay shook his head and smiled. "Those two are always hungry." He chuckled to himself.

He headed to the break room where Erin, Adam and Kevin were already seated, munching on their lunch and chatting away. As the hour dragged on, Antonio joined in the fun with Al retreating to his desk. Jay smiled full of happiness as he looked around the room. He was so grateful to be a part of something so extraordinary like Intelligence, where he could trust these people and be himself, and know that they have each other's back 24/7. Sure, they argued and had their differences, but ultimately they were family, and no one, I mean no one messes with family.

Somehow the conversation drifted to their lives pre-Intelligence, and pre-police days, not unusual but Jay stayed quiet, not liking to speak about his army days.

"No way, you can beat me Linds, you're all talk." Ruzek laughed across the table, throwing some chips in her direction.

"You have no idea what you're talking about okay? Me? I. Am. Flip. Cup. Queen." Erin replied. "Wait no, make that King, because I am just that good."

Kevin and Jay looked between the two of them.

"Yo Kev, fifty on Erin." Jay nodded to Erin and Adam, knowing this wouldn't be settled without a fight.

"Alright, I gotchu, fifty on Ruz." Kevin nodded back, bumping fists with Jay.

Ruzek paused, hearing the bet being passed between Halstead and Atwater and looked to Lindsay with narrowed eyes.

"Okay, flip cup. Here, now. Whoever wins does the other's paperwork for a week."

Erin look at his outstretched hand and her lips twisted into a grin. "Make that two weeks and you're on." She shook his hand.

They cleared out their lunch and made space on the table. Antonio, who had no interest in the bet but keen to see who would win, was moderator.

"Okay, I want a nice, clean, game. We have five cups each filled with water, because we are still on the clock. Whoever flips all their cups first win. And no cheating!" Antonio fixed a glare on Adam who placed his arms up in self-defence.

Erin and Adam took their place opposite each other and got ready.

"On your mark, GO!"

Off they went, drinking and flipping. Jay and Kevin were cheering them on, the whoops and hollering even brought Olinksy in to check on what was happening.

"Go babe! Go! GO! GO!" Jay shouted. Erin was so close to finishing, Ruzek still trying to flip his last cup while she was on her last.

As she crossed the finishing line and flipped her last cup, Ruzek banged the table in defeat. Jay was still chuckling when Kevin slipped him the fifty.

"Yo, I thought you got this dawg." Kev shook his head at his best friend. "Damn, girl you good." He held out his fist which Erin returned.

Erin was smiling radiantly, as she accepted the begrudging congratulations Ruzek handed her. Jay looked earnestly at his girlfriend, in awe at how amazing she was everything… Even something as simple as a game of flip cup. Man he really lucked out in the girlfriend department. Actually, he was currently really lucky at life. He's got an awesome girlfriend, a good job, a team that he enjoys working with.

Erin could feel Jay's eyes on her and she turned to look at him with a questioning glance. Dawson, Ruzek and Atwater had already cleared the room, leaving only the two of them.

"Something wrong babe?" Erin paused on his way out to look at him.

"Nah, nah. I'm just thinking. I'm so lucky to have us." He gave her a small smile. Erin's questioning look had him going, "You know. You and Me. Together. To face the world. I'm happy we have that."

Erin just smiled and touched his arm. "Dinner tonight?"

"Yeah, yeah, definitely I just have to pop by Med to give something to Will."

Can you pick something up on your way from Med? Jay's phone chimed with a text message from Erin.

Yeah sure, what are you feeling? He replied back and waited for a few seconds before his phone chirped again.

Anything delicious.

So do I count? ;) Jay added a winky face at the end of his innuendo.

:D You're just going to make me more hungry Jay. Italian?

Yeah okay, I'll be by in 30mins. Jay replied back and hopped in his car.

Arriving at Erin's door just a few minutes after the promised 30mins, Erin was already ready and waiting for him. Well specifically, the food.

"Mmmm, yes you brought over lasagne and garlic bread!" Erin was excited. "Yes, how did you know that is what I was craving?"

"Please, babe. You're always craving that if you want Italian." Jay cheekily replied.

Erin brought out plates to split the food while Jay grabbed two beers and settled on the couch. They ate in relative silence with the TV on.

"Okay, no seriously? What is it? You keep looking at me all weird, all day. And it's driving me insane." Erin held her hands up exasperatedly. "Are you sure everything is okay?"

Jay had been making furtive glances all night, and it was making her seriously worried. She already had enough on her plate, and she wanted to know what was making her boyfriend act… different to normal.

Jay placed his plate down and put the tv on mute. Clearing his throat, he looked at Erin. "I-uh. I've just been doing some thinking, and I think I've had some sort of epiphany lately."

Erin looked at him. "Look, if this is your way of breaking up with me after asking me to move in with you, you better think twice. Because I have a gun-" Jay stopped Erin in mid-sentence, placing a finger over her lips.

"No, no, no. It's none of that. I just, I am so damn grateful to have you in my life Er. I can't wait to wake up beside you every morning, and fall asleep next to you every night. I can't wait to cook with you during the evenings, and spend our weekends and days off just lazing around together... in a home that we share. I know, I know that I'd give you time to think about it, but I really am thinking ahead. And with us, I'm always thinking about the future together."

Erin eyes softened at his words and she moved closer to him, so that when he spoke next, she could feel his breath on her face. "And I'm probably scaring you off, but I can envision our wedding day Er, how you'd look angelic in white. I can also see our kids, where you're probably telling them off for something, and then I'll give them chocolate because they look so sad."

Jay took a breath and stared into her eyes, her tears glistening away as he spoke about their future together. "I just need you and me together. That's it. We are the two-man team facing the world. I think. No, I know it's all I need to be happy."

Erin was silent, and Jay having feared that he was scaring her, started to backpedal. "I'm sorry, I probably shared too much information. But you wanted to know how I feel so-" This time Erin shushed Jay but with her lips instead of fingers.

She gave him a long kiss before pulling back. The tears that once filled her eyes long gone, the only evidence were the tear tracks running down her cheeks.

"Y'know, in another time. Heck maybe even two months ago and you said that? Yeah you would've scared me off. But not today. Not right now. I still want a little bit of time to think things through, especially since I have a lot on my plate, so I'm grateful you are patient with me. But yeah, sometimes I see that future too." Erin ended her speech with baited breath, waiting for Jay to reply.

Except, he didn't say anything but tilt his head towards hers in another loving kiss.

DONE! Thank you for reading another OS! I had a bit of trouble coming up with a 'serious' plot for this, so this was more fun and games and seeing them relax around the office. Because I'm sure that make-believe world will have those sorts of fun and games during their down time.

I hope you liked it! Please R&R! Will appreciate
