Chapter Text
Today was a normal day in the intelligence unit. the team was on a bust for a suspect with connection to a little gang selling drugs on the street, Hailey and Jay were entering the house by the garage while Kim and Adam were entering by the front door. As soon as the suspect heard the noise of the door breaking down he ran back to the garage to try to escape but he was welcomed by Hailey and her weapon. In his surprise, he hit the shelf where a bucket of paint was standing and it fell right on Hailey covering her shirt in blue paint. After the suspect had been evacuated to a car by Ruzek and Burgess, Jay was looking at his partner with a big smile on his face trying not to laugh at her.
What's so funny?
Nothing, I'm just wondering how you'll get back to the station since you're not entering my truck like that and Adam and Kim already left
Well I'm going to change my shirt, make yourself useful and go grab my bag
As Jay arrived at his truck he realized Hailey bag was missing so he grabbed one of his thinking to all the nights he loaned one of his shirts to Hailey while she slept on his couch.
So hails your bag isn't there so I've grabbed one of mine for you if you want it
Yeah sure give it to me and I'll join you in the truck when I'm done
When Jay left Hailey she changed to his shirt right away and took the time to inhale the smell of his laundry. After a few seconds, she finally went back to the car only to find Jay starring at her with a weird look on his face. Meanwhile, in Jay's head, he was thinking about how nice Hailey looked in his shirt, it was a bit too long but not too much to make it look weird to someone else eyes.
ooooOOOOoooo
When it was time to head home after work everyone said their goodbyes and Jay and Hailey went back to his truck as he offered her the ride to work this morning.
No one noticed anything, maybe I wear it better than you. said Hailey slightly teasing Jay
Yeah yeah probably. chuckled Jay
Anyway, do you want to come up for a drink and a movie?
Now we're talking, action movie?
What else could we watch?
I know, I'll let you choose while I order some pizzas
Go for the usual.
ooooOOOOoooo
They were now comfortably sitting on the couch watching a nice movie while drinking and eating and it was a perfect night as always, and as the film was playing they slightly moved closer to each other until they're legs touched and when Hailey realized she was feeling that heat right next to her that was also the moment she realized she was still wearing Jay shirt and yet she didn't say anything, if she were honest she kind of liked wearing Jay clothes.
Hailey was in and out of sleep when Jay squeezed her shoulder and said: It's time for me to head home and I'm sure it's time for you to go to bed now
Yahh, It was a nice movie, wasn't it?
Yeah, I'm sure you've seen all of it. Jay said slightly laughing
Anyway, night Jay
Night Hailey, I'll close the door don't worry.
Hailey climbed up the stairs to her room, passing in front of Vanessa's room when she realized she wasn't there. Probably still with Kevin, she thought to herself, in the meantime she heard the door closing meaning Jay had left and that she was now alone with her thought and that's at that exact moment she noticed she was still wearing Jay's shirt. She could bring it back to him tomorrow or she could keep it, he would probably don't even notice, yeah she will keep it, it's even comforting currently even if she shouldn't feel like that he's her best friend after all.
The next morning she arrived at work and everything was like any other day, coffee was waiting for her on her desk and even if Jay was nowhere to be seen she knew it was coming from him as she started drinking it and the taste of that coffee was exactly the one she loved. Everything, as usual, the shirt is already forgotten at least for now.
ooooOOOOoooo
Hailey was now sitting in the waiting room of ER at med, tears in her eyes. It all went so fast so bad, 40 minutes ago she found Jay in that basement with Angela and 35 minutes ago he was shot and bleeding out in front of her and now he's in surgery with Will saying it's going to take a few hours until they could know if he is gonna survive it. She needs to do something, she can't just stay there, sitting doing nothing and thinking about how the last time she saw him they had that little fight so she decided to do something. She left med for the station, driving through the night with her eyes full of tears but she knew that when she will arrive at the station and found what she was looking for she might eventually feel better or at least make that weight on her heart a little bit lighter.
The station was calm as most of the officers were either on the street or with their families, it was 1 AM now. She finally arrived where she wanted, opened Jay's locker with his birthdate, and grabbed his sweatshirt. It was smelling just like Jay and sadly it didn't have the effect she expected, instead of making her a little better she fell on her knees, sobbing like her world had ended and the worst was that it might be true depending on the outcome of that surgery.
