“He was a fighter. He really was. I’ve watched people tear him down, and then ask for his help. And he would help them. He would spend hours helping them. I’ve always admired and hated that part of him.”

JESSE LEE SOFFER as Jay Halstead Chicago PD ● 9.03 The One Next To Me
location: cooper's home
what: closed starter for @cfdeliicate
All Cooper wanted was Genevieve. He was the only one that called her Genevieve, sometimes he'd call her Gigi but most of the time it was Genevieve. At least to him, and only him he would tell her. They have been seeing each other as more than friends but less than loves for quite some time now. Cooper wasn't exactly sure what the hell to call them at this point, but all Cooper knew was that Genevieve made him happy and that terrified him. Terrified him in a terrifying way but also in a good way, it had been a while since he felt this way about someone and Cooper knew he wasn't going to screw it up. As this past week was complete and total hell, the weekend was where he needed a break. The case was rough and though it was completed he didn't feel complete, not unless she was in his arms. Standing in the kitchen, Cooper formed a soft smile on his face and poured some more alcohol into their cups. Whiskey it was, at least for tonight. Usually he'd do beer but like he said before it was a rough week. "I think we would've been fine with beer, but you know mw when it's been a shitty week and rough case. I need something stronger. " Cooper said letting out a breath and then took a sip of his Whiskey "I missed you." He placed a soft kiss on her lips and pulled away for a moment "How was your week?"
Just because a person has a gorgeous heart & gentle nature doesn't mean they're naive or fragile. You never know what kind of chaos it took for someone to become that calm. Don't mistake kindness for weakness...those ppl have survived the hardest battles—they're smart & strong af
