#upsteadweek

Summary: After Hailey’s holster breaks, Jay lets her borrow his thigh holster. But, he immediately regrets it when it gets a little hard to focus throughout the day

or...

a short little one-shot for Day 7 of Upstead Appreciation based on the prompt: “You’re an idiot.” “But you love me.” 

Note: This idea comes from the genius mind of one of my Tumblr favs @thetwit. Y’all need to go thank her for the chaos of Hailey in a thigh holster!

prompt: “you mean our shirt”

happy upstead appreaciation week everyone! this is day 1, let’s see how many days i can last

title is from rachel stamp’s ‘stealing clothes’

Jay was woken up by the rising light streaming in from beneath the blind. He stirred and tried to keep his eyes clamped shut. He didn’t need to be awake, not this early, Intelligence had a late start this morning. But being awake at the crack of dawn was a nasty habit he was trying to break - on the days he didn’t need to be at work at least.

He rolled over so he was facing away from the window and reached his hand out, expecting to have it rest around Hailey’s waist to bring her in closer but instead his hand falls to land on the still slightly warm mattress. His eyes open quickly and he sits up, looking around the room. That’s when he notices the bedroom door leading straight out into the living room open ajar.

Despite the fact all he wanted to do was go back to sleep, the curiosity got the better of him. He removed himself from under the warmth of the sheet and he trudged toward the door. Peeking through the crack, he sees Hailey with her back turned, reaching into one of the overhead cabinets. He smiles because even though he can’t see, he knows she’s standing on her toes.

Jay pulled the door open and walked out, the sound of his footsteps being enough to make Hailey turn around to see what the noise was. She grins the moment her bright eyes meet his.

“What are you doing up?” Jay asks as he continues to make his way into the kitchenette of her apartment.

Hi friends! This little fic was inspired by the day one prompt for Upstead appreciation week here on tumblr and is nothing, but pure fluff, (I know, shocker coming from me). Also, shoutout to @anniesardors for making me crank this out in 3 hours yesterday. Pretty sure that’s a new record for me. 😅 Enjoy lovelies!

summary: “Is that my shirt?” “You mean our shirt?” or five times Hailey wears Jay’s shirt and the one time she doesn’t
