Kelly, the simple truth is that you are magic to me. Whenever I’m at my lowest, you lift me up. You never leave my side. You are the goodest of men. And yes, we are taking a huge, crazy leap into the unknown, but we’re doing it together. And when I need to hear it, you’ll tell me, “You’ve got this, Stella Kidd.” And I’ll know that everything’ll be okay because it always is when I’m with you. I love you with everything I’ve got, Kelly Severide, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

Stella, I decided a long time ago that if I was gonna be with you, I needed to be worthy of you, which seemed impossible. How do I become worthy of someone brave enough to show who they are inside and out? What makes me this better person that I keep hearing about is, you keep me from locking things up. Instead, you made sure you really knew me. Then, by some miracle, you still love me. Stella, I might never be worthy of you, but I promise to spend the rest of my life trying.

Love is a Rollercoaster

Prompt: Stella dragged Kelly to an amusement park – what could go wrong?

notes fluffy; 511 words; Kelly Severide x Stella Kidd | Stellaride

It was a sunny summer morning when Kelly Severide and Stella Kidd, decided to go to Six Flags Great America. Stella had been begging for weeks for them to finally take the trip, but Kelly had been reluctant. He always brushed her off saying they had enough adrenaline on their jobs, and he was looking for quieter things now. But Stella being Stella, she was persistent and eventually convinced him to come along with her.

They arrived at the park early in the morning. All around them were people laughing, running around, and having fun already while they just stood there watching everything they could do, but not yet sure what they wanted to do first. Kelly seemed overwhelmed by all the fun that was right in front of them.

Stella immediately grabbed his arm, pulling him towards one of the rollercoasters. At first, he resisted, shaking off her grip on him as he said.

“No way am I getting onto that thing, Stella!” but she kept dragging him closer until he had no choice but to give in.

“It’s going to be so much fun!” she said, grinning like a 5-year-old on Christmas morning.

“Just know, if I die, I’ll haunt you for the rest of your life.” Kelly shook his head slowly as he stepped into the coaster car after his wife. His eyes widened with excitement and a bit of fear as they buckled in - it wouldn’t be his first time ever riding on a rollercoaster, but it was certainly the first in quite a while.

The ride started off slow, giving everyone on board some time to appreciate their surroundings before quickly picking up speed as it went higher and higher into the air - much faster than Kelly expected! He screamed at each turn like any other thrill seeker would have done, though secretly wished he hadn't let Stella talk him into this madness as his stomach dropped multiple times throughout the ride's journey.

But despite his initial reluctance towards this new experience, not only did he love every second of it, but he also got to experience it alongside his wife, which created moments full of intense anticipation and joy that will stay with them forever. 

They continued exploring other parts of the park after that first exciting ride together but found themselves drawn back often towards that same rollercoaster throughout their day trip - much more often than either one expected or even wanted to admit! They rode it multiple times until late afternoon when it was time for them to leave and go back home again.  As they exited through those same gates where they entered earlier that morning something inside both of them made them stop for a few seconds longer before leaving. They stood at the gates while the crowd passed around them, their lips engaged in a passionate kiss while holding each other as close as possible.

“I love you.” they whispered at the same time before intertwining their hands and walking off towards the sunset lit parking lot.

Interrupted

Prompt: Leslie Shay is alive and well and just happens to visit Kelly’s loft at the wrong moment.

notes fluffy; 434 words; Kelly Severide x Stella Kidd | Stellaride

The sun had begun to set, casting a beautiful orange glow across the sky. Kelly Severide and Stella Kidd were enjoying a peaceful evening in their home, laughing and talking together as they curled up on the couch. The couple had been married for six months now, and it seemed like every day was sweeter than the last.

Stella was trying her hardest to find a decent movie to watch on one of the dozen streaming services they had while Kelly had been trying his hardest to try and get into her pants. Apparently, the honeymoon phase for him was still not over.

“Come on, Kelly!” Stella giggled as he kissed the soft spot on her neck.

“What, have you found a movie yet?” he teased “If not, I have something that can be very entertaining.”

“I’m busy.” Stella dismissed him.

“What do you want me to do, get on my knees and beg?” Kelly started moving to actually get on his knees when a sudden loud knock at the door startled both of them.

"Who could that be?" Stella asked, curiosity written on her face.

"Only one way to find out," Kelly replied with a mischievous glint in his eye.

He jumped up and opened the door, revealing their best friend Leslie Shay standing there with her signature wide smile plastered across her face, holding up a big take-out bag and a bottle of wine.

"Surprise!" she shouted excitedly as she brushed past him into the loft "Just thought I'd drop by to see how you two lovebirds are doing." she looked around expectantly.

Shay noticed something strange about the atmosphere of the room - it almost seemed electric in its intensity - and she quickly put two and two together. Her eyes widened with recognition as she realized what must have just happened before she arrived.

Kelly coughed uncomfortably while Stella laughed nervously before explaining that they were just trying to find a movie to watch before Leslie knocked on their door.

“But a nice dinner with a good friend is much better.” Stella smiled, getting up from the couch.

Kelly gave her a look, he had half the mind to send Shay on her way, but he knew they wouldn’t hear the end of it so with a sigh he closed the door behind him, plastering a smile on his face as he walked into the kitchen to pull plates for them. With a chorus of laughter echoing throughout the room, they settled down for an enjoyable evening of shared memories and friendship that would warm their hearts to their core.

To Kill or to be Killed

Prompt: Kelly Severide has joined the Chicago mob. The boss asks him to prove his loyalty by killing his girlfriend. Failure to prove his loyalty will result in his loved ones dying. Kelly looks around the room at all the pictures and notices, he is actually dating the daughter of the mafia boss.

notes gunshots, violence; 865 words; Kelly Severide x Stella Kidd | Stellaride AU

Kelly Severide stood in the Boss’s office, surrounded by a dozen thugs. He had been invited here to prove his loyalty to the Chicago mob – but he had no idea what that meant. He had only joined the mob a few weeks ago, but he was certain that he would rise quickly. He had always been intelligent and cunning – traits that made him excel in the criminal world.

The boss sat behind an enormous wooden desk, studying him intently with cold eyes. He was a tall man in his late sixties, dressed in a suit and tie, with white hair combed back from his forehead. His face was taut and expressionless, like a marble sculpture. The boss’s eyes were cold and calculating as they bore into Kelly’s own.

“Prove my loyalty?” Kelly muttered nervously under his breath “But Don Boden, you know I am loyal to only you.”

The boss nodded slowly and spoke in a low gravelly voice.

“We need you to do something for us that will show us how far you are willing to go for our cause…” he paused and fixed Kelly with a piercing gaze as he continued “You must kill your girlfriend.”

It felt like all the air had been sucked out of the room as Kelly processed this information. He had been dating this girl, Stella Kidd for the past few months and he was starting to fall for her. He was wondering if someone had followed him around and found out about Stella and they were trying to pinpoint his weakness. He glanced around at all the pictures of people on the walls - some of them dead or missing - as if looking for answers or clues as to why he had been asked to do this terrible thing.

Suddenly it dawned on him – one of these people was familiar, a beautiful young woman with long brown hair... it was Stella! She was smiling in one of the photographs, her arm draped casually over her a man’s shoulders – the man who just happened to be none other than THE mafia boss himself!

Kelly stepped backwards unsteadily, overcome with shock and disbelief at this unexpected situation. All around him were expressions of indifference from the other gangsters; clearly they were used to carrying out orders without question or hesitation. But not him; he would never kill someone he loved so dearly– even if it meant risking their lives too…

“My girlfriend?” he asked hesitantly.

“That pretty blond you’ve been screwing for the past few weeks have been running her mouth about shacking up with a real made man.” Matt Casey spoke, he was the right hand of the boss, running the day-to-day operations.

Kelly could feel an intense battle raging inside himself between loyalty and love; reason versus emotion; duty versus desire... His mind raced wildly trying desperately to find another solution that would satisfy everyone involved - but nothing came into focus....

Why hadn’t Stella told him about her father? But there wasn't time for regret now; instead, Kelly steeled himself against what needed to be done. He could either prove himself worthy by following through with this test of loyalty or risk losing everything dear to him forever if his inaction came back to haunt him later down the line.  Don Boden watched impassively, waiting patiently for Kelly's decision - his life hung in balance by a single thread - any wrong move could have fatal consequences for him and those he cared about… 

Suddenly there came an unexpected knock at the door which made everybody jump, in walked two police officers brandishing firearms screaming "Freeze!"

They announced that they had come on behalf of Commissioner Voight who wanted everyone arrested immediately! In seconds, it seemed like chaos erupted everywhere, with bullets flying and debris raining down from ceiling... all while Kelly remained rooted to spot awaiting further instructions from the Boss....  Instead, Don Boden’s eyes widened as he noticed a figure behind Kelly who pulled out a gun and let a couple of bullets fly.

“Father, you really need to pay off the new commissioner.” her voice carried through the now silent room. Kelly whirled around, his eyes landing on his girlfriend, Stella Kidd, standing above the two dead cops.

“I’ve been trying sweetheart, but he is a very stubborn man.” Don Boden let out a sigh, shaking his head slowly “Clean this up, will you boys?”

“Sure thing, boss.” Casey nodded then ordered the thugs still standing to start cleaning up the room.

“Hey you.” Stella noticed Kelly standing in the middle of the room “What are you doing here?”

“I came to talk with… your father?” Kelly raised an eyebrow.

“Oh, you need something from him?” Stella smiled, walking up to Kelly, sneaking her arms around his waist “Father, this man is the best in the business… oh and he is also my boyfriend.” Don Boden was about to retort, saying Stella had no business talking business when his mind realized what she was saying. He had just ordered Severide to kill his own daughter and the bastard had not given him an answer whether he would have done it or not...

Stella sighed as she plopped her last box on the table. After hauling in every single package of her belongings into her new apartment, she felt dead on her feet and had just enough energy to fall on her new couch. She laid down and closed her eyes, taking her time in evening her breaths and allowing the aches to leave her overworked muscles.

Chicago was a new slate for her. It was her first time on her own and while it was scary, she was enlivened with the road ahead of her. She’d enrolled in the fire academy and was due to start her first day on Monday. There were no new friends made as of yet, but she had perused the area in her battered Jeep Scrambler and found interesting little coffee shops and hole in the wall restaurants she might explore in her off time. 

And despite its desolate environment, she was proud to call this dingy old apartment her own. It was dirt cheap and probably had a broken health code violation or two, but it was the first place she could call hers and that would have to be enough for right now. 

She sought comfort on the leather couch she copped on sale from Walmart and her eyes were heavy, silently asking for rest. It was right when she was on the brink of a good ass nap, that she heard the miniscule pitter patter of feet across the dusty wooden floors. She recognized the sound immediately, due to her other previous abhorrent living conditions. The gasp flew from her mouth before she could even fully sit up and her elevated pulse left her just a little weary on her feet when she rose up like a rocket. 

“Shit, shit, shit!” She exclaimed. 

Her eyes raced around the room, looking for that nettlesome rodent that was somewhere spurting across her living room floor. 

She’d give the big creature its credit, it was by the largest rat she’d ever seen in her life. And even still, it was moving rapidly around for its size. 

“I don’t get paid enough for this shit,” Stella grumbled. 

She actually hadn’t been paid anything at all. The landlord had allowed her to pay several months rent in advance with the money she’d saved up for the past year. But with her focus on excelling at the fire academy, she had no incoming cash at the moment, including the money it’d probably cost to get an exterminator here.

“Plan B, I guess.” 

She actually didn’t have a plan B and she looked around her unpacked apartment for anything to kill the vermin with.

When Stella first came to look around at the place, she had noticed an abandoned hoe outside on the stoop. It hadn’t moved even after she signed her lease papers and was still there today in its corner as she walked in and out of the building to move her things in.

“Ding, ding, ding,” she said to herself as she walked outside to grab it. 

She was so focused on her designated path that she hadn’t looked up with enough notice to collide straight into a hunk of flesh. 

Hands were there to grasp her before she fell to the ground from the force of the impact. She groaned in surprise and looked up to be met with a smirking expression from a handsome, rugged man. Stella only took two seconds to admire how attractive he was considering she was still focused on getting that rat out of her apartment.

She apologized with a mutter, “Sorry, woman on a mission.”

Even as she moved to walk around him, he held onto her, “Wait. You’re my new neighbor?”

Stella looked at him again with a sense of confusion before looking out at the building next door and the classic Ford Mustang parked out front that wasn’t there before.

“Hmm, I guess I am. Stella.” She held out a hand to introduce herself.

“Kelly,” the man responded with a firm shake.

“Well, I’d love to stay at chat but I gotta go see a man about a rat.”

Kelly guffawed, “I think you mean horse.”

Stella grinned awkwardly, “No, I mean a literal rat.” She grabbed the hoe that was a few feet from her. “Wish me luck.”

She didn’t wait for him to leave, merely stalking back in like the rat axe murderer she would be for the next few minutes. Instead of walking back to his apartment, he stood there for a few minutes in both amusement and deep thought. He considered whether she’d call the police for him being a trespasser and he figured he’d take the chance, considering she seemed like cool-weathered.

He slowly ambled in, grinning at the curses he could hear from her while in the hallway. If the unit was anything like his own, he knew the hallway led to the living room and the kitchen branched off shortly before then. 

He took that detour, hoping that what he was looking for would be there. It took a few glances into the unpacked boxes but he clicked his tongue in approval once he found what he was looking for. He grabbed it and then picked up a random container that’d be large enough for the creature.

Walking into the living room, Kelly was amused once again at Stella taking haphazard swings with the hoe while trying to capture the rat. He wanted to warn her that she’d potentially mess up her floors if she kept doing that, but the last thing he wanted was to scare her or the rat that was almost in the perfect position to be cornered.

So instead of speaking up, he quietly traipsed over to the other side of the room to put the vermin in the perfect position of being captured. Stella looked up at him and before she could speak, he held up a finger. He poured a little bit of the ammonium cleaner in the storage box and took a few more quiet steps towards the rat. He locked eyes with her again while doing so and their steps were in tandem until the pest was trapped between them. Attempting to make its run, Kelly dropped the container over it and watched its movements gradually slow.

“Huh,” Stella coughed out. Her eyebrows rose in surprise before she looked back over at Kelly, “Smart.”

Kelly merely shrugged in response.

Stella walked over to him, holding her hand out, “I guess I should re-introduce myself properly.”

They exchanged names yet again, this time with bright smiles and much more appreciation. Stella let out a breath of relief, “Boy, I don’t know about you but that kinda took the wind out of me,” she started walking back towards the kitchen, “You want something to drink?”

Kelly looked down at his watch, “Another time.” He adjusted his jacket and kicked at the box with the now dead rat inside it.

“Oh, well definitely another time! How else am I gonna thank you for potentially saving me from rabies?”

He simply chuckled, though it wasn’t something he was going to hold her to. She needed help and he was simply there to provide an assist. He hadn’t planned to say anything further, but only set to walk out her unit and back to his.

“Well, I guess, I’ll be seeing you!”

He nodded in goodbye, neither of them knowing just how soon they’d be seeing each other.
