A/N As you may have noticed I redid all of my stories. Enjoy! :)

As Detective Olivia Benson walked through the chilling cold December air of New York she pondered on how she could be who she was? How she could do this job for so long.? She had reasons for why she did this job her mom was raped and she was the product of it. Olivia shook her head and continued walking about a block later she heard someone walking behind her slowly prowling and listening to her every move. She continued to walk but as she heard her creeper closer behind her. She figured she was being tailed she whipped around gun in hand and managed to get a sight on a figure.

"Can I help you?" she growled her hot breath making a white cloud in the cold air.

"Olivia it's me" replied her partner of 12 years. Olivia lowered her gun and sighed grumpily.

"Did you by chance have a death wish tonight?"

"No." their breath collided as he stepped closer to her. Their bodies intertwined as Elliot wrapped his coat around her.

"You're going to freeze out her Liv." He said gently pushing her towards the direction of her apartment.

"You are gonna end up dead you know if you tail me like that again." Olivia snapped. Elliot growled mostly to himself, but loud enough Olivia could hear him.

"I know sorry" he breathed out. As the started heading in the direction of Olivia's apartment Elliot wrapped his arm around Olivia's shoulders.

"Liv what are you doing out her anyway?" questioned Elliot. Olivia shrugged

"Walking and thinking" Elliot glanced at her and sighed, his breathe becoming transparent in the cool December air. Olivia sniffled and yawned crinkling her nose as it sent a sensation of pleasure over her body.

"Olivia you know it is dangerous to be out in this type of weather right?" Olivia rolled her eyes and shrugged. Elliot was getting annoyed and his temper was rising by the minute.

"Olivia, talk to me please" pleaded Elliot. Olivia shrugged again ignoring his pleading. Elliot just sighed and shook his head. They continued to walk when Olivia suddenly stopped and looked at Elliot narrowing her eyes.

"What do you want Elliot?" she asked cocking her head. Elliot looked directly into her eyes and shrugged steadily.

"To make sure you're safe." Olivia wriggled out of his grasp and said

"I don't need you to tail me to do so Elliot!" Elliot looked at his feet

"Sorry Olivia" he mumbled sucking on his bottom lip. Olivia cocked her head so she met his gaze

"Look at me Elliot." he did as he was told and looked up into her eyes.

"You have nothing to be sorry for honey. I should be the one apologizing. I know right now it doesn't seem like I am even trying anymore, but I am. I just have so much on my mind." Elliot sighed, his mouth agape when he said

"Then talk to me Olivia. Don't just push me away." He said putting his hands on either side of her shoulders. Olivia took a deep breathe. She was about to tell her partner of 12 years how she really felt. Tears fell down her face as she began to speak.

"Elliot, I have loved you for so long. Not knowing if you ever have felt the same way has killed me to a point where I just cry for no reason at all. Earlier in our partnership I even subsided to cutting myself because I thought it would make me feel normal again. It just made me feel even worse. I wish I would have told you before I really should have. I'm sorry Elliot." Olivia finished and swallowed the lump in her throat.

"Olivia, I have loved you for as long as I remember. I too should have told you. I was just so afraid that I would be rejected. I couldn't take that. I love Olivia." Elliot whispered before he pressed his lips against hers softly. Olivia smiled into the kiss. They parted and store into each other's eyes.

"I love you Olivia Benson and I always will."
