( P . accepting ) @decryptids as hen wilson : ― * 17 sender and receiver cook together .
he was supposed to be on vacation , that was the initial deal : no paperwork , no bulletproof vest , no gritty chicago weather & cases that refused to stay closed . JUST PALM TREES , a week of sleep without sirens in the background and enjoying the sun without getting shot at . yet somehow ― two days into it , jay was in hen wilson's kitchen . . . prepping dinner like he had been roped into a shift he didn't sign up for : elbow - deep in diced onions while trying to remember if garlic went in before or after the pepers .
HEN DIDN'T EVEN ASK ― simply handed him a knife & a bell pepper like it was part of a welcome pack for dating buck . ❛ you know ... ❜ jay started , taking an onion and glacing around like there was an emergency exit . ❛ this feels like a trap . ❜ and it wasn't that jay was bad in the kitchen . . . he could hold his own : the detective had lived alone long enough to learn the difference between sauté & set off the smoke alarm ― but cooking with hen was a whole different ballgame .
( P . accepting ) @drth0mas as kendra thomas : ― ❛ please don't lie just to make me feel better . ❜
he stood there , the weight of her words landing heavier than any vest he had ever worn : the sterile hospital hallway was quiet , save for the hum of fluorescent lights overhead & THE ECHO OF KENDRA'S VOICE still ringing in his ears . please don't lie just to make me feel better . lying came easy in his line of work ― not out of pure habit , but out of necessity . to protect someone . to keep things moving . sometimes to keep his own self from unraveling . but with her , the lies weren't created in tactical purposes . . . they were meant to soften the blow .
❛ alright . ❜ jay gave a small nod , not defensive , not apologetic ― just honest . ❛ no lies . so ask away ... what you want to know ? ❜
@halztead [ jay halstead. ] spoopy starter call 🧡🕸
she had a vision early october, okay ! it's their first halloween together, owning this house. had a plan of doing this whole thing out of it, actually decorate the house for the end of october, but somehow halloween came around a little sooner than anticipated. [ is it an excuse, that october brought out some bad people that kept her busy ? ] too busy for that. hell, it felt she's only seen jay in passing the last couple of weeks. the pumpkin is still sitting on the kitchen counter, uncarved. had bought a glow in the dark skeleton that was now standing outside on the front porch tho. going with the minimalistic aesthetic. maybe next year, they get to do a bit more out of it together. gotten candy tho. and a big ass bowl to keep it in. pouring candy into it when he comes through the doors. " i picked up the most life - like i could find, " eyes lift as she crumble the plastic together in her hands and tossing it on the counter before rounding it, walking towards him, grin forming. " except for the glow in the dark, i mean, that's not very realistic, but it add to the creepy factor. "
halloween had come in full force around the neighborhood : flashing lights , pumpkins everywhere & plastic skeletons rattling in the breeze at every corner . jay paused for a second to take it all in ― HOW THEIR PLACE , in contrast , sat virtually undecorated . . . save for the porch light left on and a new lonely skeleton standing there . they had meant to do more , talked about it : string lights , cobwebs & those cheesy tombstones ― but between his transfer to the fbi and the long hours jj had been clocking , time just got away from them .
THE COMFORTING SCENT OF HER PERFUME instantly grounded him the second he stepped inside ― somewhere from the kitchen jay could hear the rustle of plastic & the clatter of candy hitting plastic . former detective leaned against the doorway , arms crossed before his figure and a quiet smile tugging at the corner of his lips . ❛ i could see that . very impressive . ❜ humor was clear under his voice as he walked over ― meeting jj in the middle , wrapping an arm around the elegant curve of her waist & pulling her close . ❛ we can always say it's the skeleton of someone who suffered intense radiation exposure ... that's scary enough , if you ask me . ❜
she's not one for sayings, but sometimes she wishes there was a cop equivalent of ' physician heal thyself. ' preferably something blunt, short, and along the lines of ' cop stop being so goddamn stubborn. ' doesn't roll off the tongue so easily, but it's a work in progress. caitlin isn't too concerned about poetry right now anyways, brows rising in a dry display of disbelief aimed at detective halstead.
❛ famous last words. ❜ i'm fine. she's very familiar with those two words, often wielding them herself when nosy ( read: concerned ) souls cross paths with the ice queen herself. she watches, in real time, as jay registers what the hell just happened to him in the form of a slow double take and a twitch of his brow.
latex snaps against the sensitive flesh along her inner wrists. fingers wiggle. doctor lenox steps closer, stern gaze sizing him up in a way that silently challenges him to try defying her silent order: sit. ❛ if this isn't ' that bad, ' ❜ she begins, sealing the distance between them without hesitation, ❛ then i'd hate to see what your definition of that is. ❜
glove - clad fingertips glide along crimson - stained fabric. she could test the waters, be cautious and timid with her touch, but he's bleeding. bad. digits hook beneath the hem of his shirt, hike the material up, expose open flesh to the doctor's skilled eye. ❛ were you chasing down freddy krueger? ❜ she's not a skilled comedian. but, for his sake, she tries. nobody likes being fussed over in an emergency room.
it's not that bad . instinct coiled to brush the doctor off , yet he could hear how automatic it would sound even before the words could leave his mouth : THE SAME LINE always used around , after firefights overseas & foot chases through dark alleys alike ― almost as muscle memory now , like drawing a weapon or setting his jaw . but lenox wasn't buying it . . . she never did . pain flared a second later , slow & mean : as if , under caitlin's attention , his body had only just given permission to feel it .
A SIGH FELL AT HER APPROACH , the shift in the doctor's posture clear as day in challenge ― direct , unflinching . . . the kind of look that didn't allow much space for excuses . & yet he tried one last time . ❛ really , i'm fine . ❜ again , more firmly , as if repeating it would make it true . gaze held against hers for another second or two : his pride wanting to argue , but the sharper corner of her attention showing the inevitable path things were going to follow . the detective then exhaled , short & resigned , before easing himself against the edge of the gurney . ❛ i've had worse . ❜ one last swing in a lost battle ― biting down the pain under caitlin's touch upon damaged skin .
tension still coiled tight in his shoulders : letting the doctor take over felt like surrendering ground ― but going against her had turned into posturing , & even jay knew when TO DROP THE ACT . she just impressed him more than he wanted to admit . still , detective allowed out a dry breath . . . the ghost of a laugh at her words , though it ended in a wince . ❛ maybe i was . didn't exactly pause to ask for names . ❜
