Dancing in the Living Room

Author's Note: Hi, everyone! Just a quick note, and I hate that I have to say this, but please don't steal my work. I haven't had a problem with that on this story, but I have with a collab that I'm doing. And, although, it's dealt with now, just please don't do it on any story... Okay, thanks for letting me get that out of the way, lol. Enjoy!

Song: Dancing in the Living Room by Cameron Hawthorn

*Thanks to julianne.nicole for suggesting this song and for helping with me and my co-author on our latest issue. We really appreciated your help!

10 p.m., we're here again

After a bottle of red

One look at you, I'm in the mood

But we aren't gonna bed just yet

Our favorite song, I'm turn it home

And you get a candle lit

Casey and Severide just finished their third consecutive beer at Molly's. They couldn't remember how long they had been sitting there just recounting the events of their latest shift.

"Hey, how's the new apartment with Brett?" Asked Severide as he got out his wallet and prepared to pay their tab for the night.

Casey threw his hand up to stop him, "Don't worry about it, man. You paid for our last night out. And things have been really good with Brett. She decided to stay in tonight so she could get some of the unpacking done."

Severide nodded, "Yeah, Stella said she might swing by tomorrow if you all still need help."

"That would be great, man. We still have a couple of rooms to do, though I'm not sure how much she got done tonight."

Severide sipped the last of his beer, "So things have been good between the two of you? No huge fights or anything,"

Casey smiled, "Things have been great. I honestly can't remember ever being this happy with anyone, even Gabby."

"That's great, man. I'm happy for you."

"Thanks. I better head out soon though, I'm pretty whooped from last shift. I'm sure you are too."

"Yeah, man. That was one of the hardest we've had in a while." Quickly agreed Severide.

"I thought that man was gonna have a heart attack right there if we didn't get his wife out in time." Remarked Casey as he got his wallet out and paid off their tab for the night.

"Me too, man. Brett and Foster did a great job at calming him down though."

Casey smiled thinking about how amazing Brett was in the field today, "Yeah, they did."

It wasn't too long after that, that both guys decided to call it a night and go home to their ladies. To Casey, it felt like he hadn't seen Brett in days when in reality it had only been four and a half hours. Nothing too long, but to him, it felt like an eternity.

We dancing in the living room

Just me and you

Yeah, there's nowhere else I rather be

Now fancy night end on the town

But I still spin around

Cuz I know you save the dance for me

Yeah, I got you in my arms and I'm right at home

When we dancing in the living room

If the neighbors know – give them show

I don't care either way

Cuz we do us and love is love

Until we grow old and grey

I'm staying up late

Casey put the brand new key into the lock and slowly opened the door. He wasn't sure what to expect when he walked in, but he was definitely surprised at what he saw.

"Hey," Called out Brett as she walked into the living room ready to light all three candles sitting on the brand new coffee table she moved, all by herself, in front of the couch.

"Hey," Slowly said Casey as he looked around the now almost cleared living room. "How did you get all of this done by yourself?" He asked as he walked over to her and gave her a quick peck on her soft pink lips.

Brett laughed before she threw her arms around his neck and drew him in, "It's not much; I just unpacked a few boxes, cleared the floor, and moved the table."

Casey looked around still shocked at what he saw, it looked like a completely different place. "Well, I think it looks great. It's really starting to come together now."

"I know. I love it." Replied Brett with one of the biggest smiles her face had ever held.

"I love you." Whispered Casey before his lips met hers for a long-lasting kiss.

Brett smiled when Casey finally let go of her lips, "I love you too."

Casey looked around for a minute before he tightened his arms around Brett and pulled her even closer, "Dance with me?"

Brett threw her head up to look him, "We don't have any music."

"We don't need it. As long as I get to hold you in my arms I will never need anything else."

Brett giggled, "You can be so cheesy sometimes, Captain Casey."

"I know. You love it though."

Brett looked up at Casey as they began to sway in each other's arms, "I do."

Dancing in the living room

Just me and you

Now my day is ending perfectly

Now fancy night end on the town

But I still spin around

Cuz this moment means the most to me

Yeah, I got you in my arms and I'm right at home when we dancing

I got you in my arms and I'm right at home when we dancing

I got you in my arms and I'm right at home

When we dancing in the living room
