a/n: Alright so this idea for a one shot came from a friend on Twitter (Thanks Whitney :)) who sent me a video of a song by Luke Bryan feauturing Karen Fairchild called Home Alone Tonight. It's a bit OC in the sense that you will see characters from Fire BUT they will not all be connected the way that we know them on the show so I hope you enjoy it.

Matt busied himself in his kitchen a morning after a particularly long and strenuous shift, his stomach asking for nothing more than some food. His fridge had been empty for several days now, either because he was on shift or in no mood to visit the market except to buy some beer, delivery service doing the job. The past week had been hard on him, Hallie having left him for someone else. He always thought that she was it for him, that they would make a future together, get married and have kids but that wasn't what she had in mind even though they had been together for many years. After food was no longer an issue, he climbed up the stairs of the house they had picked out together and headed for a much needed hot shower to make the tension of the last 24 hours disappear before taking in a few hours of much needed rest.

Gabby packed her things up in the locker room of firehouse 105, her partner Sylvie Brett next to her, doing the same.

"Come on Dawson, you need to start going out, meeting new guys."

"I don't know Brett, it hasn't been all that long."

"Just long enough for him to be flaunting a new girl right under your nose. You can't let him win."

"You're right." She was determined not to let her break-up with Peter Mills get in her way anymore.

"That's the spirit." Brett grinned. "I'll pick you up at nine and you better look HOT." Gabby only chuckled. They grabbed their things and walked by first watch and left seperately to get a few hours of rest before going out later in the evening. She made it inside her building and went inside her appartment on the first floor where she dropped her bags next to the door and went directly to her room, her body shutting down as soon as it hit the bed.

When she woke up, the sun had already set and the blinking red numbers read 7:00. She ran her fingers through her hair and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes before she got up to shower. She let the warm water wash over the tension in her muscles from lifting victimes all day on shift. She walked to her room with a towel around her body, not quite sure what she'd be wearing tonight. In the spirit of getting back out there and wanting to have some fun, she wore her hottest, black, lace number under a pair of black leather pants with a cobalt blue top, a zipper closing it on the back, a pair of black peep toe booties and a smokey eye to finish off her look. She was staring at herself in her full length mirror when the doorbell pulled her out of her thoughts. She opened the door to find Brett there, a bottle of red wine in hand.

"I figured that we could get an early start since the bar is right around the corner." Gabby moved over to let her in.

"We're going at Molly's?" Gabby almost gasped.

"Yeah, why not?"

"I'm really not in the mood to run into Peter tonight." She sighed.

"I know from a pretty reliable source that Peter is nowhere near Molly's tonight so relax and just enjoy this evening." Brett grabbed two wine glasses out of Gabby's cupboard and filled them up, Gabby clinking her glass with Sylvie's, both girls with a smile on their lips.

The bottle got emptied out quickly and by then, it was time to head out. "You look hot by the way." Gabby gave Brett an eyebrow wag and pulled her closer as they walked over to Molly's bar.

"Trust me, the boys will be all over you." Brett laughed, opening the door of the bar for Gabby to walk in first. She surveyed the place that wasn't full yet since it was still early. A few girls were already dancing at the very end of the bar and they made their way to the bar for some shots. The bar was filled with people waiting for some drinks so Gabby and Sylvie simply waited their turn until a young, russian looking guy came their way with a smile.

"What can I get you beautiful ladies?" The girls giggled from their already intoxicated state.

"Four Tequila shots." Gabby called.

"Coming right up." He turned around to go get the tequila bottle and four shot glasses.

"He's kind of cute." Brett noticed.

"Why don't you make a move? Neither one of us has to go home alone tonight." Brett acknowledged and smiled as the guy came back with their order.

"Here you go ladies." He poured the glasses as Sylvie gave him some money.

"Why don't you take one with us? On me." Sylvie smiled. "I'm Sylvie by the way." She said casually.

"I'm Brian." He took a fifth shot and poured the tequila for himself and smiled at Sylvie.

"To new beginnings." Sylvie simply toasted.

"To new beginnings." Gabby and Brian said before downing the shots. As soon as the shots were all back on the bar, a new song came on and Brett squealed.

"Oh my God I LOVE this song." She screamed over the sound of the bar that had gotten quickly fuller. "Come on, let's go dance." She pulled a laughing Gabby and they headed towards the dance floor.

Kelly grabbed some beer at the corner store close to Matt's place and headed to his house, hell bent on taking Matt out to get drunk and have some un-atached fun. When Matt answered the front door, he looked a little bit of a mess. He was wearing sweatpants and a CFD t-shirt, his bed head still there even though he'd woken up a little while ago.

"You smell like ass." He joked.

"Hey, I showered."

"That I know, but your living room hasn't." He looked around inside the house to find some empty opened bottles of beer and some old pizza cartons. "Alright Matt. You can't live like that. You need to go get changed right now and we are going for a boys night at Molly's."

"Kelly, I'm really not in the mood to bump into Hallie tonight. It's actually the last thing I want to happen tonight." He sighed. He knew his friend meant well but he wasn't really up to the task.

"I know that she's anywhere but at Molly's and we are going over there, getting drunk and we are finding you someone to bring back home with you.

"You know I'm not like that Sev." He protested but Kelly would have nothing of it.

"Well maybe you ought to be. Now come on, chop, chop, go get some real clothes on so we can leave already." He watched as Matt reluctantly turned around to go change, Kelly taking a few minutes to clean the living room up so it would be presentable if a girl came in.

Matt went up the stairs to his place, not really in the mood for going anywhere but maybe Kelly was right. Maybe it was time for him to change things up and hook up with someone to take his mind of the pain he felt in his heart. He decided on a pair of jeans and black button down. He washed his teeth and ran a hand through his hair, judging it presentable enough before he went to join Kelly in the living room where he was waiting for him with an uncapped beer bottle and a smile on his face.

"Here's to new beginnings." He raised his bottle and Matt did the same.

"To new beginnings I guess." He put his bottle to Kelly's before taking a sip of it, letting the alcohol make its way down his throat. They drank two more beers before they left, Molly's not being too far from there. Once they got there, they surveyed the bar that was already full, opting to go see Otis at the bar for some more beers.

"Hey Otis!" Kelly yelled from the other end of the bar, seeing that he wasn't coming to see them, his eyes fixed on something or someone. "Looks like someone has his attention.

"Hey Otis!" Matt tried this time, hoping for their friend to notice them this time, Otis snapping back to reality, coming over to take their order.

"What can I get for you lieutenant?"

"Two beers."

"Coming right up." He turned around to grab two bottles, uncapping them as his eyes stared back to the same place he had been a few moments ago.

"Who's the girl Otis?"

"Huh, what girl lieutenant?" He put the beers in front of them and gave them his full attention.

"You have been staring at something and only a girl can grab a man's attention like that so I'll ask again, who's the girl?" Matt smiled as Kelly laughed it off. Otis pointed into the bar with a smile.

"Her name is Sylvie."

"Who's that girl she's with?" Matt had looked in the direction Otis had pointed, seeing the blonde girl he was talking about but having only eyes on the girl she was dancing with.

"I don't know, she didn't mention it."

"Too busy oggling at Sylvie Otis?" Kelly chuckled, clearly finding all of this amusing.

"Something like that." He admitted, tapping on the bar before going to serve some more people. Matt had kept his eyes on the girl that was accompanying Sylvie, not being able to keep his eyes away. She had mocha skin, leather pants molding to her in all the right places and her blue shirt, a stark contrast against her darker skin.

"Looks like I won't have to play matchmaker after all." Kelly looked where Matt was staring, seeing what he saw in her.

"I don't know Kelly." He took a pull on his beer, his eyes still on the girl.

"The night isn't over yet. I won't be the only one going home with someone tonight." He chuckled, ignoring Matt's protests as his eyes were still glued to the girl in question. Kelly looked back at the his beer, a smirk on his face, just waiting to see how the evening would go.

Matt eventually averted his eyes from his mystery woman as she dissapeared into the crowd and started up a conversation with Kelly and Cruz that he hadn't even seen arrive next to him.

"Hey Otis. Earth to Otis." Cruz laughed.

"He's totally whipped." Kelly downed the rest of his beer.

"What do we have to do to have some service around here?" Cruz countered, finally gaining Otis's attention, who had lost sight of Sylvie.

"What can I get for you Cruz." He was slightly annoyed at his friends right now.

"I'll have a beer Otis." He smiked.

"I'll have one too." Casey tipped his bottle to signal that he was almost empty.

"Coming right up lieutenant." He gave Casey his beer and completely ignored Cruz and went back to serving customers.

"Oh my god. That was fun so fun." Gabby was pulled by Sylvie towards the bar. Sylvie was already drunk from dowing shots while on the dance floor and she was very giggly, not really paying attention to what she was doing, Gabby bumping into someone.

"I'm so sorry." She looked at the stranger, his blue eyes catching her attention but she smiled at him as he did the same.

"I think your friend is a little drunk."

"Just a little." She laughed as her roommate was being all bouncy next to this guy sitting on a stool. "I'm Gabby Dawson by the way." She didn't know why she was being so forward with a complete stranger in a bar but her insides were telling her that she could trust him

"Matt Casey. So girls night out?"

"Something like that." She looked down slightly but Matt saw it and he knew she was in the same kind of situation as he was so he smiled at her again.

"What are you drinking?" He questionned her as her hands were empty.

"Whiskey."

"I like that. Hey Otis." He yelled over the loud noise of the bar. Otis saw him and made his way to him.

"What's up Lieutenant?"

"A whiskey for Gabby and whatever Sylvie is having. Put it on my tab would ya." He winked at Gabby because of the shocked look on her face. She hadn't even introduced her to him since she had still been trying to get someone's attention to order a drink. "She's made quite the impression on Otis." He clarified.

"Brian right?" He nodded with a chuckle. Otis brought their drinks over and Matt introduced Gabby and Sylvie to Kelly before they all started mingling together. One drink led to another and before they knew it, both Gabby and Matt were on their way to being drunk and they were spending every minute of the evening together. They ordered another shot of whiskey from the table they were not sitting at, Gabby now sitting on Matt's lap. Once their ordered arrived, they knocked their glasses together before downing them. Their eyes met briefly and Gabby blushed lightly from both the heat of the alcohol and the heat Matt was creating inside of her.

"He was stupid to break your heart." He whispered as he leaned into her and gently kissed her. It was sweet and tender but both their hearts were flaming up as the kiss intensified. They kissed for a few minutes before parting, their breathing heavy.

"And she was stupid to let you go." She breathed heavily wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him in for another kiss.

Kelly looked on from the bar where he was flirting with a red head as Matt and Gabby were kissing in a booth. It had been a great idea to take him out for an evening of fun and he looked like someone who was having just that.

After kissing for a llittle longer, they ordered some more drinks. They were well beyond tipsy and flirty and Gabby had snapped a few pictures of the two of them, her fingers having a mind of their own.

"Give me that." He smiled at her seductively and after a few seconds of hesitation, she handed her phone to him and he took his out, pressing a few buttons and then sent the picture from his phone, with the contact name Peter Mills and the message - We ain't going home alone tonight. Gabby looked at what Matt had done with his phone and blushed heavily before she demanded he give her his own phone with the contact of his ex and she returned the favour.

Gabby left him sunddenly and went to grab Sylvie who was flirtying with Brian and pulled her to the dance floor where they swayed to the music, both too drunk to care what people thought of their sexy movements. Matt made his way back to the bar where Kelly was still sitting with the same redhead and ordered a beer off Otis and looked as Gabby danced seductively with Sylvie.

"God she's hot." He breathed out as Otis gave him his bottle and Kelly laughed.

"That's my boy. Who says you can't have a little bit of fun."

"Thanks for taking me out man."

"My pleasure." He clapped his shoulder and returned to the girl that had his attention.

Gabby returned to the bar moments later, swaying against Matt. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her in to him. "How about we get out of here?" He kissed her.

"What do you suggest?" She kissed him back.

"A cab back to my place?"

"Let me just tell Sylvie and we can go." He let her go tell her friend that she was leaving and they left Molly's, Matt's arm around her waist, keeping her close as he hailed a cab to bring them back to his place. They made out the whole way there and Matt gave the cab driver the fair and he kept kissing her, his hands on her waist until they made it to his front door. He pressed her to it, their tongues battling for control. They stared into each other's eyes panting as Matt unlocked his front door and led her inside. He kicked the door closed with his foot and lifted her up, Gabby wrapping her legs around his waist and he went up the stairs and he gently placed her on top of his bed, resuming their kissing.

They parted for a few seconds, Matt looking into Gabby's eyes, looking for any doubts she might be having. Even though they were both intoxicated, it wasn't any reason to stop being the man he was. She smiled and that was all the answer he needed. He kissed her again and ran his hand under her top making her shiver with pleasure. She quickly pulled his shirt over his head and threw it on the ground as they kissed again, their bodies ever so close together. He slowly unzipped her top and slipped it down her arms and removed it from her body, leaving her in her bra that left absolutely nothing to the imagination. She flipped them around and straddled him so she could underess him first. She kissed her way down his muscled torso and left light feather kissed along his pant line, where she could see the top of his boxers. She looked up at him with a smirk before her fingers expertly popped the button opened and unzipped them before slowly pulling his pants down, exposing him completely to her. She would be lying if she said that he wasn't totally hot without his clothes on, his firefighter's training keeping him fit. She took his whole length in her mouth, Matt groaning at the surprise but loving every second of it but tonight wasn't about that. He pulled her back up to him and flipped them around so she could be under him so he could remove the only barrier left between them. He pulled her leather pants down and kissed the Inside of her thight before kissing his way back up to her mouth, their tongues battling as their hands held on to any inch of skin they could. Matt slowly entered her and gave her a few moments to get used to him before he started thursting in and out of her at a steady pace. Their bodies were quickly covered in a thin layer of sweat as they made love, their bodies aching for each other, their original problems the farthest thing from their minds. They made love for hours until they fell exhausted in the early morning hours.

"Wow." Both their breathings were heavy as they let the high fall, their legs tangled together.

"That was amazing." She breathed out heavily.

"You were amazing." He pulled her to him and kissed her, not able to get enough of her but after they talked some more, they fell asleep with their bodies intertwined.

The sun filtered through the blinds of Matt's room as they both laid asleep with legs tangled and Matt's arm loosely around Gabby's waist. The sun finally did its work and Matt woke up slowly, his eyelids fluttering open and he laid eyes on the girl that was in his arms. She was facing him and the glow of the sun made her even more beautiful in his eyes. He was now sober and still the feeling he had around her last night was still there. He propped himself on his elbow and simply watched her sleep. It was around noon when she finally stirred awake.

"Good morning beautiful." He whispered.

"Morning." Her voice was hoarse from all the drinking and dancing at Molly's.

"How did you sleep?"

"Mmmm." She smiled.

"How about you stay in here and I'll go make some breakfast. Up for anything special?"

"Surprise me." They shared a kiss before he got up, putting some boxers on and making his way down to the kitchen, Gabby hiding her face under the blankets, a pink blush on her cheeks and a smile on her face.

Matt did french toast with some fruit that he had left and got two cups of coffee back up to his room where he found Gabby already sitting up, leaning against the head board.

"French toast, lots of it." He put the tray down and handed her a cup of coffee.

"I'm starving." She laughed. They slowly ate and talked some more, enjoying each other's company.

There was a few minutes of silence before Matt spoke again. "About last night." He started but she cut him off.

"I don't usually leave with a guy on the first night." She blushed putting a bite in her mouth.

"And I'm not that guy either but last night was fun. Maybe we could grab some lunch sometime? See where this could lead us?"

"I think I'd like that." She smiled at him as they finished breakfast. They stayed in bed like that for a little while before Gabby grabbed her clothes to get dressed. She silently padded out of his bathroom where she found the room empty so she ventured downstairs and looked around to find him in the kitchen with snother cup of coffee in his hands.

"Another one?" He raised his cup to Gabby.

"I think I should go, Sylvie must wonder if I'm still alive." She chuckled.

"Well I think that maybe Sylvie had her own fun last night." He laughed remembering how she was flirting with Otis from her spot at the bar.

She thought about it a moment. "Yeah you're right but I really should get going."

"Can I call you later maybe?" He tried. She asked for his phone and entered her information for him. He walked her to his door and she turned around to face him.

"I really enjoyed myself last night." She smiled up at him.

"I did too." He leaned down and gave her a small kiss, one she returned with more intensity. They broke the kiss and both smiled before Matt held the door opened for her and waited for her to be in her car before closing it behind and heading back inside with a smile on his face.
