Then I met you- Part 4

Pairing: Kelly Severide x Reader // Platonic!Reader x Matt Casey

Warnings: angst, age difference

Since the relationship between you and Matt had come out things had been a lot easier at the firehouse: you had started to form closer friendships with all your colleagues and you had finally started to feel part of the family as well. The only “bad” thing about you finally telling the truth and everyone being cool with it was Matt’s ‘I told you so’ face. He couldn’t stop gloating and you retaliated by teasing him about Sylvie. It was fair to say that telling the team the truth had been good for your relationship with Matt too.

And then there was Severide with whom you had been getting closer and closer; he had been nice to you since the beginning but things were changing and you were nervous and thrilled at the same time. You had seen Matt and Kelly talking in hushed tone more than once but you hadn’t asked Matt what they had been talking about.

You were in the common room having lunch with Matt and Kelly, they were joking with each other while you were lost in your thoughts: you were really in a good place in your life and you were afraid the other shoe was going to drop sooner or later. It was what had happened before: your happiness had never lasted long.

You were so taken by your thoughts that you almost didn’t see Joe entering the room

“Casey your sister is asking for you”- said Joe and you could feel every eyes on you -“Christie”- Joe added once he felt the general confusion.

“Oh I didn’t know she was coming”- he said before leaving the room.

There was a little bit of silence when he left and you slowly swallowed, you knew someone was going to ask soon.

“So... aren’t you going to say hi to Christie too? I mean you two are sisters too right?”- Gallo asked and you heard Severide groaning. You were happy he had stayed beside you, you felt better when he was with you. And wasn’t that a thought you weren’t ready to investigate further yet.

“She didn’t ask for me, did she”- you snapped and felt bad as soon as you had done talking -“I’m sorry Gallo, really. It’s just I’m not Christie’s favorite person so, I can assure you, she would prefer not to see my face ever again”- you got up and left the room hoping not to cross Matt’s and Christie’s way while going to the changing room.

You were sitting on the bench when you heard someone arriving

“Hey”- Kelly said while sitting on the bench beside you -“you ok?”

“Yeah. I’m sorry I snapped at Gallo, it’s just Christie is a delicate spot”

“Hey he kinda deserved it. You don’t go sniffing other people’s business if you aren’t ready for the consequences.”- he nudged your shoulder. He sat there with you in silence waiting for you, you had never talked with anybody about your relationship with Christie or lack of relationship therefore. You had never touched the subject with Matt, you didn’t think it was fair to him. He loved both of you and you had never wanted to let him think, not even for a second, you wanted him to choose.

“I’ve always been scared of Christie; she had never liked the idea of me, of my existence. Not because she’s mean or anything, at least I don’t think so, I always thought it was because my existence was the proof that her dad wasn’t as perfect as she thought. Christie has never recognized our father’s mistakes, let’s say Matt and I have seen a different side of our father, a side that Christie still like to think never existed. And I don’t know, I like to say I don’t blame her for it, but knowing your sister has never been interested in knowing you hurt like hell. And I can’t talk about it with Matt, because I know it would be difficult for him, so every time she appears in his life I bake off a little bit. So yeah, that’s why I snapped at Gallo because it still hurts and I’m always scared of losing Matt. He’s one of the only two people that have been on my side after my mom died, and I’m constantly scared of losing him. So that’s it... I’m sorry I unloaded all of that on you”- you had talked so much you were practically out of breath.

“Hey there’s nothing to be sorry for, I’m always here when you want to talk. Now listen there is no way you’re going to lose Matt, he hasn’t given up on me and I’ve been a major asshole to him multiple times. He loves you so much I can see it. Beside you have me on your corner too, I hope you know that”

You smiled at him aware of his hand gently caressing your cheek. You stopped breathing for a second unsure of what was going to happen, he was looking at you and you couldn’t help but get lost in his eyes. They were so blue and so deep, like a god damn ocean.

“Truck 81, Squad 3, Ambulance 61...”

Kelly groaned and you couldn’t help but laugh.

“Come on Lieutenant people need to be saved”- you smiled at each other before running to the others.

You were so tired, the shift had been exhausting and you couldn’t wait to get into bed and sleeping for hours.

One good thing had come out of this shift, Matt had finally had the gut to ask Sylvie out, so you were going home alone.

You sigh with relief: finally home!

You stop for a second, frowning while looking at the door, someone had left an envelope on your step door addressed to you. You put the key in the lock door so you had the hands free to open the envelope

You stopped breathing: photos of you, the envelope was full of them, photos of you at the station, photos of you walking, photos of you at home.

You paled... you couldn’t breathing. You took your keys and started run towards your car.

Someone had been following you.

I’m so happy to have found again the inspiration for this story. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and I’m sorry for the delay but I’m a very slow writer.

Like always I’m sorry if there are mistakes but English is not my first language.
