Jay Halstead. A man of few words, but facial expressions of many. The love of my life and my other half. The man who I would come to say I Do in a few months and the father of our future children. Jay is loveable and affectionate. He shows everyone just how invested and deeply he cares for them. Jay is the kind of man I had always dreamed of and the man that my grandma always told me that I deserved. Even though his parents weren’t alive anymore, they would have been proud of who he became.
Many things happened to Jay over the years. Heartbreak, loss, physical and emotional pains. His morals and the way he policed changed over the past few years, which we didn’t know at the time, but eventually tore him apart from the inside. Jay told himself he wouldn’t end up like Voight. No matter what happened, I told him I would follow him through anything and that wasn’t going to change now. But to be honest, I was not expecting this.
I got a call from Hank saying that work had been hard with Jay. I didn’t know what to expect, but when I walked into the district and saw the look in Trudy’s eyes, I knew something bad must’ve happened.
“Trudy. Where is he?” I said walking up to the side of her desk, and whispering softly.
“Upstairs. Locker Room.” She said quietly, with a downcast face. I followed her instructions as she let me in through the code. I ran up the stairs passing everyone and going straight towards the locker room. When I walked in I saw him sitting on the bench in the back of the room, I walked towards him slowly.
“Jay?” I approached him, squatting down. “What happened, my love?”
He couldn’t talk. He just sat there stagnant. Almost catatonic by the way he was moving. Jay’s eyes stared directly down at his hands, while they shook. I could tell it was horrific cause the only other time I saw him like this, he had a PTSD attack. I held his hands, tenderly pulling him down onto the floor with me. Leaning back against the lockers, I held him against my chest. Before I could do anything else, a quiet sob came over him. He conveyed to me what happened in the case. In detail from beginning to end. The part of the robbery, to the part of the perp dying. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, I knew this wasn’t my Jay and I knew he couldn’t have done this easily and maliciously.
“I killed him. I just… Just went for it and couldn’t stop. I couldn’t stop, Y/N. I…” Jay shakily expressed.
“We’re going to fix this, handsome. I promise this will all be okay… Whatever it looks like.” I said rubbing his back.
The best way for Jay to get out of this was to resign from Intelligence and take up a job in the Army again. This meant him being on location in Bolivia, but to be honest, anything that got him out of the situation he was in, I urged him to do it. Consequently, that’s what we did.
I walked in the front door of our shared apartment following his footsteps. I knew what Jay was thinking, but I could not let him go through with his plan alone. I told him through thick and thin, and that meant this too.
“Jay,” I said leaning against the doorframe.
“Y/N, I love you, but you cannot come with me. It’s dangerous and a job. I’ll come back for you, but I don’t know how long I’ll be.” He sighed, looking down at the bed.
“Do you seriously think that I would let you leave without me? Do you not understand that when I told you you are my other half I meant it? I love you so fucking much, Jay Halstead. You can’t get rid of me that easily. I don’t care how dangerous it is, and for you to say I’ll come back for you, are you kidding me?” I said gently grabbing his hand, and turning him to me.
“I’m not trying to get rid of you, Y/N.” He sighed. “I can’t stay here either. And I won’t risk your safety.” Jay looked me in the eyes.
“I’m not asking you to. I’m saying wherever you go, I’m going with you.” I held his face in mine. He leaned into me nodding gently.
“I love you. But I can’t have you in my problems.” He said.
“I’m an adult. I know what’s best for me, and if I see danger and won’t commit anymore, I’ll leave. But I’m not, so understand that.” I said kissing him as if it were the last time I saw him. He wrapped his arms around my waist, holding me close. We stayed leaning against the wall for another couple of minutes before a knock came on the door.
“That’s for us. Are you sure you’re ok with this?” Jay asked one more time.
“Yes, let’s go restart our lives,” I said following him out the door.
We left that day, not looking back at anyone or anything. All he needed was reassurance that life was going to be alright with his new assignment and our upcoming marriage. I told him that from this day on, we were the only ones we had, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
“I’m sorry this is the life we have now. I promised you, but now it looks different.” Jay said, whispering into my ear.
“I don’t mind, it’s an adventure now. Yes, our life is different but it does; throw us curveballs. What’s life without challenges? You are my forever, and I will never doubt that.” I said gently running my fingers through the hairs at the nape of his neck.
“My other half.” He said leaning his forehead on me.
“My other half,” I said leaning into him, kissing his lips softly that turned passionately.

( note: it's 12am their time so I'm posting 😤❤️ my god waiting to post this was fucking torture i tell u!!)
To some it's just Seo Changbin's birthday and ofc happy bday to our Binnie! But today is also the birthday of someone very dear to me ♡♡
Happy happy happiest of birthdays to my twin flame
To the ji to my lix [ our energy when we're together]
And the chan to my felix [ my home, my person].
Who would've thought that there was another me on the other side of the world born months after me. Who would've thought that we are sooo similar in so many ways went through so many similar things in our lives to the phases we went thru, the bands we listened to back then. To even something similar with our moms like whatttt?, that our skz ult bias are literally considered the twins of skz. And us being like long lost twins. And the fact that we both share a birthday with a member of Skz????? AND the fact that when you put our moon phases together, it makes the PERFEFT waning crescent moon? Literally we make the perfect circle together, 2 halves of a whole ❤️. The world is so cruel keeping us apart for more than a decade hell it's been 2 decades and I'm just finding you now. But now you have me and you're stuck with me ❤️
If it wasn't for that one day, I think it was a few days before christmas. lol, where we interacted on tumblr, we wouldn't be where we are at now.
You're literally someone in my life who I didn't know I needed, ilysfm like i really do. Not in a romantic type of way, you're my soulmate and my other half, I used to not believe the red string of fate but then I met you and we were ment to be best friends for life, as cheesy as that sounds.
I feel like I knew you my entire life and I'm so glad I have you now.
If the multiverse is real, I hope you're my best friend in each & every one of them ❤️
Once again, happy birthday to my ever so lovely twinnie 🫶🏼🫶🏼 [ @bbyquokka ♡ ]

I am going to just take a moment to tell you what three months means to me.
I've had a few relationships, and while they were were not all terrible, and the people were not bad people, the relationships degraded into something toxic and awful, and while they never ended with anyone really hating each other-it really does skew you for relationships and for love in general.
Three months has always been about how long they lasted. Then three months again to get back into another. And three months has been the limit of love for me in just about every aspect. It is something about that number, that length of time, that it seems something always happens to flip that switch.
So I've , granted, been a bit paranoid about three months. I even told Jisoo that I'm sorry if I act strange, or paranoid, or anxious. However, as my dear Jisoo is such a lovely, wonderful soul with such a big heart, she always reassured me that nothing would change. We would make it to these three months.
And you know, over the course of the last month, my worries did recede. My fears disintegrated. We not only just survived, we are thriving. The wall that we built around ourselves is strong and unyielding. No one can get in to hurt us. No outside force is going to harm what we have built. There is such a deep foundation of trust and openness that for once in my life, I never question someone. I never automatically go to worst case scenario. This is what it feels like to have a wonderful, deep relationship based on love and respect.
One more day and this is the longest relationship I've ever had. But for once, I know we will not only make it but to 3 years, 3 decades.
Everything before failed because all this time, the universe was telling me that it wasn't right. That there was more out there for me-there was someone out there for me that fit me like no other. Someone who completely understands me and will fill in the holes of my soul. Someone who will bring me peace, and joy, and instead of saying "Eh...maybe in the future" be instead excited for the future and all the plans we have made and keep making.
The woman I've been waiting for was Jisoo all along.
Happy Anniversary.
