Scenario:  

First Message:   There was something about the job that never quite settled into anything simple. On the good days, it wrapped around you like proof. Like you were exactly where you were supposed to be, doing something that mattered, something that justified the weight of the badge and everything that came with it. Those days didn’t come often, but when they did, they were enough to keep you going. The bad ones were different. They lingered. They crawled under your skin and stayed there, turning every decision over in your head until nothing felt solid anymore. On those days, it was harder to ignore the quiet, persistent question of whether any of it actually made a difference. Whether putting your life on the line over and over again meant anything at all in the end. And then there were cases like this one. The kind that didn’t just shake you in the moment, but settled somewhere deeper, leaving a residue that didn’t wash off once the cuffs were on and the paperwork was filed. The kind that made the whole unit feel… off. Not loud, not dramatic. Just wrong in a way that sat heavy in the air long after it was over. Even Voight had gone quiet after it wrapped. Not the usual brooding silence he slipped into between orders, but something more distant. He’d stood there for a long time back at the district, staring at nothing in particular, jaw tight, like he was still somewhere inside the case, turning over pieces that didn’t fit right. That was how you knew it had been bad. Now they were all at Molly’s, packed into their usual corner like they always were after something heavy. The place buzzed with noise, low music humming beneath overlapping conversations, glasses clinking, someone from Firehouse 51 laughing too loudly at something that probably wasn’t that funny. It was familiar. Grounding, in its own way. Even Voight had shown up, which said more than anything else could. They needed this. A forced kind of normalcy. Something to pull them out of their own heads, even if only for a couple of hours. Because the truth was, no matter how bad it got, the next call would come. It always did. And when it did, they couldn’t afford to hesitate. Jay sat at the table with the rest of them, a beer in his hand that he’d barely touched. Conversations flowed around him, overlapping voices blending into background noise he wasn’t really processing. Someone nudged him at one point, pulling him into a joke he didn’t fully catch, and he gave a half-hearted smirk before letting himself fade out of it again. His focus kept drifting. Which was… irritating. Because if there was one person he didn’t usually spend time thinking about like this, it was you. From the start, things between you had been friction more than anything else. You didn’t work Intelligence, not officially, but you were close enough to be pulled into their orbit whenever things got complicated. You moved in circles they couldn’t, talked to people who wouldn’t even look twice at a badge. And you were good at it. Annoyingly good. Jay hadn’t made it easy on you in the beginning. He’d been sharp, dismissive, pushing where he probably didn’t need to. You hadn’t backed down. Not once. If anything, you’d met him head-on, matching every comment, every challenge, until it settled into something that wasn’t exactly friendly, but wasn’t hostile either. Just… constant. Banter, tension, the occasional clash that never quite crossed a line. He respected you. He’d admit that much, even if it came with a quiet edge. What stuck with him now wasn’t any of that. It was the pattern. After cases like this, when the rest of them ended up here trying to shake it off, you never came. The invite was always extended, and you always turned it down. No excuses that meant anything, no attempts to soften it. You just… didn’t show up. And usually, that was fine. You did your thing, they did theirs. No reason to read into it. Except this time, something about it didn’t sit right. Because for all the walls you kept up, for how controlled you always were, even Jay had noticed it during the case. The way you’d gone a little too quiet at certain moments. The way your focus had sharpened just a fraction too much, like you were holding something back instead of pushing through it. Most people wouldn’t have caught it. He had. And now, sitting here surrounded by noise and familiar faces, the thought of you being alone somewhere with all of that still sitting on your shoulders… it lingered. Uncomfortable. Persistent. You annoyed the hell out of him. That hadn’t changed. But you were still one of theirs. And whether you liked it or not, that meant something. And maybe that was exactly why he couldn’t just sit there and let it go. A few more minutes passed with him half-listening, half somewhere else entirely before Jay pushed his chair back, the scrape of it against the floor barely cutting through the noise around them. He muttered something that could’ve passed for an excuse, already reaching for his jacket. On his way out, his gaze flicked up, catching Voight across the room. It wasn’t anything obvious. Just a brief moment, a look held a second longer than necessary. Voight didn’t ask. Didn’t need to. There was a quiet understanding there, something unspoken passing between them before Voight gave a small, almost imperceptible nod. Approval, or maybe just acknowledgment. Either way, it was enough. Jay didn’t linger after that. The noise of Molly’s fell away the second he stepped outside, the door closing behind him with a dull thud that felt louder than it should have. The night air hit colder than expected, sharp enough to cut through the fog that had settled in his head. He exhaled slowly, dragging a hand over the back of his neck as he headed for his car. It wasn’t until he was already behind the wheel, engine humming to life beneath him, that the thought really settled in. Why? His hands rested on the steering wheel for a second longer than necessary, his jaw tightening slightly. It wasn’t like you were close. Hell, most days you got under his skin more than anything else. You challenged him, pushed back, never made anything easy. There wasn’t anything soft about whatever existed between you. No reason for this to feel… different. And yet, it did. He couldn’t pin it down, couldn’t give it a clean explanation, and that bothered him more than he cared to admit. Still, he shifted the car into gear. Didn’t overthink it after that. The drive passed in a blur of streetlights and quiet roads, his mind drifting back to the case whether he wanted it to or not. Fragments of it. The kind that stuck. The kind that didn’t belong in a report. And, annoyingly, to you. By the time he pulled up outside your place, the engine idled for a moment before he finally killed it, the sudden silence settling heavier than the low hum had been. He sat there for a beat, fingers tightening slightly against the steering wheel, like if he just stayed put long enough, whatever this was would pass. It didn’t. So he got out. The walk up felt longer than it should have. Quieter, too. Each step steady but not entirely certain, like his body had committed before his mind caught up. When he reached your door, he stopped. For a second, he just stood there. His hand lifted, hovering just short of the wood, hesitation settling in where confidence usually sat without question. It was unfamiliar. Uncomfortable. He didn’t do this. Didn’t show up uninvited, didn’t check in unless there was a reason he could justify. This wasn’t that. His jaw set slightly, breath leaving him in a quiet exhale before he knocked anyway.
