a thread of Hailey Anne Upton and Jay Halstead looking at each other

the moment that jay met the love of his life #upstead

Couldn’t keep their eyes off of each other from the start Hailey’s head tilt is so cute #upstead

baby Hailey couldn’t stop herself from watching him as he walked off

#upstead

#upstead

When Jay needed someone to be by his side and support him, Hailey was right there for him #upstead

#upstead

we see you Hailey, we see you #upstead

side eyes #upstead

SHE TOUCHED HIS SHOULDER #upstead

Wow, you’re really erm... what’s the word... le snob.”

they really have been flirting and looking at each other with heart eyes since the beginning #upstead

#upstead

I find Jay’s face funny in this for some reason, it just looks like he’s asked her on a date and she rejected him #upstead

he was there for her when she was hurting and needed someone by her side #upstead

No one else does it like they do #upstead https://twitter.com/TT23writes/status/1292895966761299968

#upstead

“you cover well, but I’ve got eyes Jay.”

i’m just gunna have a breakdown and cry over them #upstead

She’s always got his back #upstead

Her heart ached for him when he confirmed to her that everything he told Camilla about his struggles at home after the war were true #upstead

he was so gone but she brought him back to reality #upstead

her eyes show how much she was hurting seeing him in that state #upstead

“Look, I think after everything that happened, you should consider talking to somebody.”

“... you just wanna sure nothing got... triggered.”

she knew he needed help before he knew it himself #upstead

Hailey as a soccer mom they are going to be the cutest parents #upstead

Jay not very subtly checking out his girl #upstead

they’ve even resorted to looking at each other on a phone #upstead

can’t keep her eyes off her man #upstead

Alex - “you only roll with pretty people, huh?”

Jay - “I try too, anyway.”

THE SMILE ON HER FACE JAY SAID SHE WAS PRETTY #upstead

the upstead angst in this episode

she looked so angry but upset at the same time as jay kept digging a bigger hole for himself with the denial and lies he kept telling her #upstead

i hate it when they argue with each other #upstead

look at his face he knew how much he had screwed up and betrayed his partner’s trust after lying to her

“How’s therapy?”

“Not really my thing.”

“If you’re not going to take it seriously, or attempt to take it seriously, let me know for real. Because I need to find a new partner.”

i’m crying #upstead

they are so in love with each other #upstead

“How’s therapy going?”

“Never thought I’d say this out loud but... I actually kinda like it.”

“Wow... I’m shocked.”

“It’s helpful, finally dealing with some stuff that happened in Afghanistan... and Chicago.”

“I’m happy to hear it.”

Hailey was so happy for him #upstead

they look so cute in beanies #upstead

they are cannot keep their eyes off each other #upstead

“the more i learn about you, the more i realise i have no clue who you really are.”

“good, my plan is working.”

flirty upstead is just *chef’s kiss*

her head tilt when she stares at him is the cutest #upstead

she looks to tiny next to him #upstead

#upstead

she looks so cute in a beanie #upstead

Jay was so uncomfortable with this case right from the beginning and you could see how worried he was for Hailey knowing she had history with Booth #upstead

“either way we gotta get eyes inside.”

“how about mine?”

you could see instantly on Jay’s face how much he didn’t want Hailey to go undercover, he didn’t want to see his wife in any possible danger #upstead

her smile is so freckin cute #upstead

“i got here as fast as i could, what’s the emergency? you okay?”

“this... time stamped December 31st, New Year’s Eve... what the hell happened?”

yep, i’m having a major breakdown and crying over them #upstead

“.... but this, this is too dangerous.”

“It’s part of the job.”

“Just tell me everything, i wanna help, i promise.”

they never give up trying to help each other even when the other says they’re fine, they do it because they love each other so much #upstead

“I’m fine, okay, I promise.”

Jay knew she wasn’t fine and that she was in too deep on this case but he also knew that she needed to take down Booth, so that she could shut that dark chapter of her past once and for all #upstead

HE TOUCHED HER ARM AGAIN #upstead

“Hailey, you are way too emotional.”

“I’m not emotional.”

“You’re not thinking straight.”

“This isn’t about me.”

“Then what is it?”

Ugh, the angst when they argue #upstead

“We are really close to nailing him. Can we just play it out... please... I need this.”

Jay only went along with her plan because he couldn’t bare to watch her hurting any longer with this case weighing down on her #upstead

“Hailey, Hailey.... Hailey he wins if you do this.... this is not how you beat this...please Hailey, please... this is not the way, you gotta trust me.”

Just like Hailey in 5x7, Jay was there to calm her down, bring her back to reality when she was lost #upstead

“I’m alright, I just kinda feel like being alone.”

“Yeah... that’s not gunna happen.”

the little smile on her face showed how she wanted him there even though she said she wanted to be alone, she trusts and feels safe around him as she’s falling in love with him #upstead

Jay’s heart eyes he’s so in love with her #upstead

#upstead

her attention is always drawn to her husband #upstead

#upstead

hailey was even impressed by undercover homeless jay #upstead

hailey’s head tilt is so cute #upstead

#upstead

omg please... the way she looks up at him teary eyed and she covers his hand with her own when he touches her shoulder #upstead

the way that hailey is looking at him #upstead

hailey sneaking in looks at her man while he looks off into the distance #upstead

#upstead

she looked like she was about to cry when she nearly shot jay #upstead

you could see how much hailey was hurting knowing that even jay repeatedly said he was okay, she knew he wasn’t and that he was going to do something stupid #upstead

“... i’m sorry if my heart doesn’t bleed like yours.”

“excuse me!”

ugh, the angst when they are angry at each other, it feels so good #upstead

a good wife stopping her dumb husband from doing something stupid #upstead

“you’re just projecting whatever daddy-daughter crap got you screwed up.”

“okay i’m done being your punching bag...”

what he said must hurt him so much now after finding out that hailey’s dad was abusive #upstead

i’m definitely not crying at the way she gently holds his the back of his head with her hand, her touch and presence probably gave jay that little bit more hope that everything was going to be okay #upstead

this scene just showed how much jay was hurting, not only bc of his father but bc of everything he had put hailey through in this case, he had dismissed and pushed back against her when she wanted to help and he realised here that he should’ve let her in #upstead

her hand on his knee omg they’re are so married already #upsted

upstead casually eye fuckin not caring that the rest of the unit are there #upstead

his eyes are always on his wife #upstead

#upstead

always checking on each other before going into the unknown #upstead

#upstead

(they weren’t angry at each other incase you were wondering)
