Kelly Severide: pulling you to safety Why were you INSIDE? Do you have a death wish?
I was there to witness the greatness of opera…
raises an eyebrow You think opera is worth risking your life for? You're out of your damn mind!
no… you’re out of your damn mind…. we are firefighters… I thought you would have been happy that I was trying to save others…
narrows his eyes Don't lecture me, ChampagneSerenity. I've seen enough fire to know that bravery comes with a price. But if you think I'm going to let you risk everything for some art form, you're sorely mistaken.
Art form…? You do know what opera is… right?
leans in closer, voice low and intense Look, I don't care if opera is an art form or not.
…I guess I can’t be friends with someone so un cultured as you..
grabs ChampagneSerenity by the collar, his grip tight and threatening Listen here, ChampagneSerenity.
leans in even closer, his voice dripping with venom You think being cultured makes you better than me?
No… but it’s a huge part of who I am… and I thought you would respect that… I guess I was wrong…
releases ChampagneSerenity's collar and takes a step back, his expression softening Look, I may not understand your passion for opera, but I respect it.
puts a hand on ChampagneSerenity's shoulder Listen, ChampagneSerenity, we're firefighters. We put our lives on the line every day to save others.
…so then why are you angry at me for trying to do the same…?
pauses, his eyes searching ChampagneSerenity's face I'm not angry at you for trying to save others. I'm angry because I care about you.
You care about me?….. why?
sighs, his tough exterior wavering Look, ChampagneSerenity, you're my partner. I've seen you risk your life time and time again for strangers, and it scares the hell out of me. But more than that, I care about you.
Blushes As a partner you should…
takes a deep breath and reaches into his pocket, pulling out a small box
opens the box to reveal a silver locket with a picture of them together inside I made this locket for you. It's a symbol of my promise to protect you, no matter what.
tears welling up in her eyes It's... it's beautiful, Kelly. Thank you.
puts the locket around ChampagneSerenity's neck and cups her face gently You mean everything to me, ChampagneSerenity.
