Relationships
Kelly Severide and Matthew Casey are coworkers and lieutenants at the fire station. At the beginning of season one, after the death of a close friend, they had some trouble getting along and often butted heads but would come together for the sake of the house. Now, in season 2, they have stopped blaming each other and get along very well. They are often seen putting themselves in danger to protect each other, such as when Kelly went into an unstable burning building to help Casey rescue his fiancée, Hallie, who unnfortunately died. After Casey was injured in episode 2x10, Kelly was the first to notice that he was not healed. He was very concerned about Casey, asking him numerous times If he was okay and offering help. The two are close friends. At the beginning of Season 2, former firefighter Hadley (William Smillie) targets Severide in a string of arson fires. First Hadley sets fire to his Camaro, then sets fire to a building with unstable stairs. Hadley places a cart outside the building so Kelly would go in to search for a woman who wasn't there. He falls down to the basement when the stairs collapse but his fellow firefighters rescued him. While recovering at the scene, he notices the address number of the house is 1751, Severide's badge number. Peter Mills comes up and tells Chief Boden that nobody is in the house. At another fire, Severide finds Hadley in a room with no fire but holding a jug of chemicals. Severide tries to convince Hadley to put the jug down. Hadley instead poured the chemicals out igniting the whole room. Severide made it out, but Hadley was never seen or mentioned again.
Kelly and Leslie Shay are coworkers, best friends, and roommates. Shay has been supplying Severide, as she is a paramedic, with pain medication to help with his neck injury. In 1x11, Shay and Dawson were restocking the ambulance when a truck with a flat tire struck the ambulance. Dawson only had minor injuries, but Shay sustained a major head injury. She luckily lived, but Severide blamed himself for the accident because they were restocking painkillers Shay had given to Severide. He felt better once she came back to work and the accident was never mentioned again. She also wants him to donate sperm for her to conceive a child. It is suspected that there is a slight attraction towards these two. They have great chemistry, and also have the ship name 'Shaveride'.
