Jay Halstead x Reader Story/Imagine

(4. New Dress)

* Inspired by Season 1 ep 14 The Docks

It had been around a month since I got released from the hospital, I was able to walk now with a leg brace but all I wanted now was to get out of bed. Hank had let me come into the office and do some paperwork, and although it wasn't much I just needed to get back. I was doing some paperwork with Nadia.

"So I wanted to go shopping today for a new dress, can you come?" I asked her.

"Wait really? I'd love too" I could tell Nadia was excited.

"I was thinking of getting something sexy but "formal" you know maybe for a nice dinner?" I discreetly glanced at Jay sitting at his desk.

"Wait I have to ask Jin for something, give me a sec," I told Nadia heading downstairs slowly because of my brace.

I was in the last step when I heard loud gunshots and a van driving away. I quickly opened the door and saw Lt. Bruce Beldon, Antonio, and two other officers had been shot.

"EVERYONE COME DOWN HERE NOW!" I yelled upstairs while making my way to Antonio.

At that moment I didn't care about my leg, or the pain, I dropped down to my knees and put pressure on Antonio's wound. "Hang in there Antonio." I whispered to him

"y/n are you ok?" Jay put his arms around my waist and lifted me up. Adam took my spot putting pressure on Antonio's wound.

"I'm fine Jay, I didn't see what happened, I just heard gunshots before I opened the door." I told everyone rubbing my thigh since I had put all my weight on it.

"Sh*t," I whispered to myself after I had wiped by forehead and realized I'd gotten Antonio's blood on my pants and now my face.

"Help her out of here!" Voight yelled to Jay.

Jay lifted me and carried me bridal style, taking me to the locker room. "Was that necessary?" I asked Jay as he was putting me down.

"You ok? How's your leg?" He went to grab a wet towel.

"I'm fine I just put too much weight on it, it's a little sore" I looked down at my hands covered in blood.

"Come here." He grabbed my left hand gently and began wiping the blood off, then did the same with the right one. "Here" he moved the towel up to my face and started wiping the blood there. We looked into each others eyes while he did.

I felt my breath hitch before I looked away. "I need to change my pants." I spoke.

"D'you need help?" He asked me.

"D'you mind? I have gym shorts underneath, I would ask Trudy-" I started.

"Hey, don't worry about it." He smiled. He helped me take my leg brace off before helping me pull my pants off and putting the clean ones on.

I took a deep breath after we were done from the pain of moving around. "Thank you."

"Here." He took a painkiller out of a bottle I had in my locker and passed it to me. I took it and swallowed it.

"C, mon let's get to the hospital to see Antonio." Jay wrapped his arm around my waist and helped me out to his car.

The next day

Antonio had been in hospital since yesterday and he was in bad shape. I had visited him a few times and helped Laura watching Eva and Diego when she was with Antonio or for her to rest.

I walked to the district the next morning ready for another day of paperwork.

"y/n hey!" Nadia ran down the stairs to meet me.

"Hey, you alright?" I gave her a quick hug.

"Yeah, actually I have something for you. Yesterday I was a little fidgety and I needed to distract myself so I went out and got you this." She passed me a bag.

I walked over to the bench and set the bag down taking what was inside out.

I pulled out this beautiful white dress. "Oh my god, Nadia," I said as I admired the dress.

"You said you wanted something sexy but "formal" and I thought you'd like this but if you don't it's ok the receipts in the bag and you can return it-" Nadia started getting nervous.

"Are you kidding me? I love it." I put the dress down and gave her a big hug. "If I didn't know you were working I'd ask you to get dinner with me."

"Maybe another night?" She asked me very excitedly.

"I'd love that." I gave her another hug.

I was packing things up ready to head home when my phone dinged alerting me of a text. I went over to grab it.

Kelly S: How about that dinner you owe me tonight?

I read the text and smiled.

You: Sounds good to me, where are you thinking?

I only waited a few seconds before he replied.

Kelly S: How about Oriole's? My treat.

You: How fancy! Meet you there in an hour?

Kelly S: See you then

I giggled before looking down at my brand new dress. I made my way over to the locker room to get ready. I showered and got dressed.

I was fixing a couple strands in the mirror when I heard whistling behind me.

"Wow!" Jay was leaning against the doorframe.

I laughed before spinning. "How do I look?"

His eyes scanned my body. "You look incredible." He walked closer to me.

"I didn't know you were still here." I cleared my throat getting nervous about our closeness.

"Yeah, I was downstairs chatting with Jin." He wouldn't break eye contact with me.

"Well I'm gonna go, I've got a date." I went to grab my purse.

I saw him get uncomfortable. "Oh really? Lucky guy, do I know him?" I could tell he tried to be casual.

"Yeah, actually, Kelly, he asked me out just an hour ago and Nadia just gave me this dress so it was kinda perfect." I smiled.

"Oh, I didn't realize you and Kelly were serious." He rubbed the back of his neck.

"Well no, this is our first date actually."

"Oh so you just kiss guys at bars before going on dates with them?" His tone was hurtful.

I stopped smiling but didn't feel like starting an argument. "Ok, I'm gonna go." I walked past him.

"Y/n I didn't mean it like that." He tried to take it back.

"Good night Jay." I didn't turn around anymore and just kept walking.
