"Screw Voight, break the rules."

It was a dim October morning. Morning sounded more than accurate, since Jay read the time as 1:43am on the kitchen microwave. He wasn't tired though, not a chance.

After taking the finishing sip of his water, he slid the glass on the counter and trailed back through the darkness to the bedroom. Erin's bedroom. He padded past the foot of her bed and round to the left side. He thought of it as his side, he wondered if she did too.

Jay climbed into the bed, the warmth of the sheets already comforting his cold skin. As he pulled the duvet up to his chest and found comfort with his head on the pillow, he heard Erin speak up beside him.

"What are you doing?" She asked, humour in her voice.

They'd been doing this for a few months now; the whole no-strings-attached thing. What started off as a drunken decision led to something that managed to get the both through the day. Especially the difficult ones. They were in one of the loneliest lines of work, and having sex in the dead of night seemed to help that somehow.

The only problem was, Erin had certain ground rules.

"You're not seriously gonna make me go out there, right?" Jay replied, astounded. As if on queue, the raging combination of wind and rain picked up outside and roared an echo around them. He was facing Erin who momentarily allowed her eyes to flicker past him and out the large window.

"It's freezing out there." He added, taking the fact that she hadn't shot him down yet enough of motivation to continue. "In fact, it's kind of cold in here, too." Possibly pushing it, Jay moved his body onto his partner's side of the bed and closed the distance between them. He lay on his side next to her, threatening to encompass. He felt the warmness of her hip on his stomach and it soothed him.

"We might need to... Generate some heat." He silkily slid his body over hers, his hands locked under her pillow. He saw the glint of a smirk before bringing their lips together in a slow kiss, drawing her out and then bringing her back in. A noise escaped her throat and he tried not to let out a shiver at what she was doing to him.

Jay's eyes were still closed but seconds later he felt fingertips clutching at his neck, gaining leverage as Erin moved her lips to his timing.

After what felt like a lifetime, Jay felt her draw back. He knew he'd gotten close to winning her over, but almost inevitably, she pushed him away anyway. Her fingertips were still dancing on his neck, though. That had to account for something.

"We can't." She rasped. Jay noted that those words seemed to be deemed a personal favourite of Erin Lindsay. "If Hank drives past on the way to work and sees your car here... We're both screwed."

Halstead internally groaned at the mention of his superior's name. Erin always had a knack at bringing him up at the worst times; this time in particular, where Jay had on only some thin boxer shorts that separated him and Lindsay. Rolling his eyes, Halstead rolled off of his partner and back onto his side, instantly missing her body heat.

She started again, and Jay wished she wouldn't. "You know the rules that Voight set,-"

"Screw Voight." He practically barked before thinking better of it. "Screw the rules. I'm sick of following them."

Erin looked taken aback, but Jay didn't care. He knew she had a bond with their Sergeant and he rarely questioned that out of respect. But he also knew that climbing out of a bed with Erin Lindsay in it was one of the hardest things to do.

"Hey," Her finger tugged at his chin and brought his gaze back to her. She looked soft and sweet, and for a second the vicious weather outside seemed to be blocked out. With a sad look, Erin looked at her partner through the darkness.

In what felt like slow motion, Erin reached over to Jay and pressed her lips to his before he could even register what was happening. He felt her eyelids close through the fluttering of her lashes on his cheeks. He tasted her on his lips and felt her free hand pressed to his shoulder, running fingers up and down his biceps.

"Just tonight." She whispered when she finally broke them free. She shimmed down slightly and curled into his body. He felt a kiss pressed to his shoulder before she whispered a final comment. "Because of the cold."
