Stella (Miranda Rae Mayo) and Severide's (Taylor Kinney) awkward kiss didn't exactly restart things between the two on Chicago Fire, but it did confirm that at least one -- namely Stella -- was still harboring feelings for the other. Whether or not that will lead to something more, however, remains to be seen.

"A great deal of [the rest of] this season is an off-again romance between these two," showrunner Derek Haas tells TV Guide.

The keyword here is "off-again," as in not happing for the time being. Despite spending plenty of time together, both at home and at work, it looks like the former lovers-turned-roommates won't be acting on any potential feelings in the near future.

"For her, there's a different man in her life that comes into play. For him, there's other things going on and so, yeah, we're gonna build it up for a little bit," Haas teased.

With all those distractions, when it comes to the question of will they or won't they, you're in for a loooong wait before receiving a definitive answer.

Chicago Fire returns Thursday, Jan. 4 at 10/9c on NBC.
