Glitter Bomb

'Dufass' Adam

Time frame: before Upstead became a couple.

XXXXXXX

Adam came up the steps right after his epic practical joke went off - a glitter bomb. A smile growing and a laugh bubbling, he froze on the top step when Jay's fiery eyes landed on him. His friend was covered with pink glitter. Small piles of pink sat on his shoulders and a bigger pile rested on his head. He knew a lot of it would stick to the gel Jay put in his hair, in fact he was counting on it when he planned this whole thing.

Jay's neck and small bit of chest showing with his gray v-neck t-shirt, was frosted with glitter. His arms were covered, his face...extra glitter clung to his scruff and eyebrows...eyelashes. Adam suspected there was glitter up Jay's nose and that was confirmed when he huffed out a breath through his nose. It looked like pink fire from a fancy, though grumpy, dragon.

His jeans are covered and there was a ton of the stuff in the laces of his boots. Jay's desk and surrounding area looked like a blizzard hit...a sparkly pink blizzard.

It was a shitload of glitter. For just a second he wondered if maybe he should've only used one six ounce jar, instead of four. Might've been a bit of overkill but it looked cool.

Jay's face morphed from soldier stoic to rage in a second. Adam knew he was dead and wouldn't even get to thoroughly enjoy the joke. That whole 'if looks could kill' thing was really an understatement where Jay Halstead and pink glitter were concerned...lots of pink glitter. The moment felt like a year but in a split second Jay was out of his chair and chasing Adam down the steps, a trail of glitter marking his path.

Hailey smiled, grateful she was in the break room when the bomb went off, "I don't know why he ran. He should've just laid down at the top of the stairs."

"True... glitter was already a stupid move but running away is going to end in a Jay Halstead tackle and glitter transfer. Adam's gunna be sore, but he will be a shiny sore."

Voight walked up the steps a few minutes later, followed the trail of glitter with his eyes, finally landing on Halstead's desk. He shook his head partly because of the mess that'll be impossible to clean up and partly because he'll probably be down an officer for the foreseeable future. Jay would more than likely kill Adam.

"Flying tackle...Adam went down hard...I guess he didn't take to heart how much Jay hates glitter."

Platt joined the party a moment later, big grin on her face.

"Jay's got Adam cuffed and locked in the cage if you get a case. Bets on payback?"

Kevin pulled out the special notebook he kept in his desk for bets of this magnitude, "Haven't started yet."

"Worms..."

Hailey shook her head, "No, Jay wouldn't kill a bunch of worms just to get back at Adam. Packing peanuts?"

Trudy threw out one she would love to see, "I say turkey manure..."

Kevin's eyebrows raised half way up his forehead, "Ooooh good one. But then all of us would suffer. It's the stinkiest of all manures."

Kim laughed, "What are you Kev, a manure connoisseur?"

He scrunched up his face, "You don't have to be a connoisseur to know that shit stinks."

They all laugh, turkey manure really was the worst of the worst.

Hailey asked the question they're all thinking about, "Was Adam that drunk when Jay said and I quote, 'Glitter was one of the true evils of the world and should be outlawed.'"

"Jay really hates glitter."

Kim got into the payback speculation, "Salt in the coffee maker."

Kevin shook his head at that one, "Mm mm mm, now that's just pure evil."
