Reason to this madness (Jay Halstead x reader)

Meeting the team (4)

"Guys this is y/n. Y/n this is Antonio, Kim, Adam, Hank, Kevin, Alvin, and Jay." Everyone shook hands with me except Jay who was a little hesitant but then gave in.

"Oh, do you two know each other?" Shay asked Jay noticing the tension.

"I guess you could say that." He replied not breaking eye contact with me.

"Jay was the one who interrogated me at Med," I told Shay.

"So you're the one who helped us solve the case," Hanks spoke. "It was your lead on the black Volvo that helped us catch a guy involved in Child trafficking, you also gave the kid and his grandmother time to have a look at the suspect," Hank explained.

"Is that so..." I smiled turning to look at Jay victoriously, he looked down at his feet.

"This rounds on me, thanks for your help kid." Hank patted my back and smiled before walking away with the rest of the team except Jay.

"Ladies do you mind if I talk to y/n for a minute," Jay asked Gabby and Shay.

"Damn y/n you've got Severide and Halstead trying to win you over now." Shay laughed.

I rolled my eyes at her playfully before hopping off my stool and following Jay to an emptier space.

"Listen, I'm sorry about the other day. I was out of line, my girlfriend Erin had just broken up with me and I probably shouldn't have been the one to interview you." He explained.

I gave a deep sigh before answering. "Don't worry about it, it wasn't my best day either." I tried to lighten the mood.

"And I am glad you're ok. I hope you're feeling better." He smiled down at me.

Before I could answer Kelly was back on my side and put his arm around me. "What's up Halstead, so I see you met y/n." He smiled at him.

"Yes, yes I have, anyways I'll catch you later guys." Jay smiled at us both before walking away.

Kelly didn't take his arm from around me and walked me back to the table with Shay, Gabby, Antonio, Kim, and Adam.

"Hey pretty lady, listen if you wanna escape this guy, just let me know and we can go somewhere else." Adam winked at me.

Everyone at the table started laughing and I joined.

"So y/n where are you originally from?" Antonio asked me.

"Florida, born and raised. Well, my parents are actually both from Mexico but they moved here very young as well." I explained.

"I told you she was Latina!" Gabby shoved Shay.

I started laughing. "So how long are you planning on staying?" Kim then asked me.

"Not sure, I guess if I fall in love with the place I could stay forever, and right now it's looking pretty good," I told them honestly.

"I say cheers to that!" Antonio raised his bottle of beer.

Everyone else followed.

Someone then walked next to Gabby wrapping his arm around her and giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Hey guys" he greeted everyone.

"You must be the infamous y/n, I'm Mat Casey, you can call me either. I'm Gabby's boyfriend." He introduced himself to me.

"Pleasure." I smiled as I shook his hand.

The rest of the night was spent greeting more and more people and having chats with separate groups of people. By the end of the night, I saw as Kelly took off with another girl, I laughed and rolled my eyes at this since I'd gotten a pretty good idea of his personality.

But once he did leave I realized he was my ride home and now I would probably have to take a cab so it was time for me to stop drinking. I was making my way over to the bathroom when someone bumped into me spilling their drink all over my clothes.

"Sh*t, I'm so sorry." I recognized Jay's now panicked voice.

I gasped as the cold liquid seeped down my body. "It's fine, I was just leaving anyway." I half smiled at him trying to cover myself with my jacket before turning around to walk out.

"Wait, at least let me give you a ride home." Jay reached for my arm.

"I can take a cab don't -" I tried to tell him not to worry.

"Please, it's the least I can do, I know you probably hate me." Jay looked guilty.

I gave him a soft smile. "Ok, fine." I gave in.
