The Fight for Elliot Stabler
Ch.1: Dani Returns
Being mad at Elliot Stabler for too long might be hazardous to your health. With his charming smile, and his apologetic dancing blue eyes, it was enough for you to melt and let him walk all over you. Let's just get that straight. If you ever were in a relationship with him, you would probably be proclaimed as the luckiest girl on the planet. Anyone who would see him with his shirt off, or even more, was lucky not to explode or turn to putty in his arms. Olivia Benson was trained to not fall in love with your work, but it was hard as hell. Every day, even when she first met him, her knees buckled, and she felt herself turn red. She also somehow managed to not let him know. That she absolutely loved him. That she would die for him. Do anything for him. If he ever left her, she would probably have a psychatic breakdown, or quit. Even when he touched her, she would blush, and stare right into his eyes. Then he would smile at her and she would roll her eyes, pretending that she wasn't completely mesmerized. And every night, she would lay there in her bed, with her eyes open, thinking about him. Dreaming about what might have been.
The things girls would do to Elliot Stabler. God help him if he was alone in a room full of girls. Dani Beck would probably slap him right across the face, and then kiss him full and hard on the lips. And she wouldn't give a crap what would happen after, she would fuck him all night. Even if he didn't agree. Being partners with him for about a week was the best thing that ever happened to her. She could never forget his lips pressing against her, both of them ignoring their buzzing phones, still managing to kiss eachother full and delicately on the lips. She swore if they were together for about 2 minutes more, they would definitley have had sex in the car. She even counted the seconds they kissed. A whole 43 seconds. She still had dreams about the man, remembering his soft touch, tough muscles, and square jaw with those hypnotizing blue eyes. Hopefully, she would see him again. The first chance she got. But she had been so busy with her new job at Brooklyn, she couldn't find the time to see him again, to see if he ever thought about her. To see him would be like a piece of heaven to her. One day, she was going to find him. And love him like she should have.
Kathy was the best position in the love triangle, well square to be honest. She may have left him, but damn, he took her back in a heartbeat. She was a bitch, even she would admit that. Breaking that Romeo's heart, then taking him back, was pure luck for her. If he was already in a relationship when she asked to take him back, which was a surprise that he wasn't when she came around, she would have been screwed. Luckily, they got remarried. God, she was grateful that he took her back. They had met in highschool, and he had sex with her once. Protected of course. But she left the next morning. She had no idea why. Something in her mind told her she couldn't face his smiling face in the morning, so she just went. And one day, she came back, and he just couldn't believe it. He suddenly blurted out, "Marry me." And it was heaven to her. And also one thing. She was without a doubt jealous of Olivia Benson. Truth be told, she was the only woman who spent more time with her husband than she did. And Elliot and Olivia were close. Super close. So close that they knew more about eachother than the other knew about themselves, if that makes sense. And when she left him for a second time, she would be damned if anyone got in the way of getting him back. Especially a pretty brunnette that was as innocent as an angel.
"So, when do you wanna get dinner?" Elliot suddenly asked Olivia. "Hmm?" She grinned at him. "Dinner? You and me?" he asked again, his sparkling eyes dancing. "If I didn't know you that well, I'd think you were asking me on a date." He rolled his eyes and his grin widened even more. "You could think that, I guess." She looked up at him for real that time, her eyes widening. But when she saw his serious face, she knew he was kidding. Elliot arched an eyebrow, and brushed his hand across hers. "There's a new bar a couple of blocks from here. You, me, some beer and some burgers. What do you say?" It may not have been a date, but she would go anywhere he said. She wished she could scream "HELL YEAH!!!!" right there. But obviously she couldn't scream in the station with Cragen about 14 feet away from there. So she simply nodded enthusiastically and squeezed his hand. They put the paperwork away and walked out. Olivia was extremely tempted to hold his hand. But she knew he'd freak, so she decided to flirt and brush her fingers against his. But instead of freaking, he actually entwined his fingers with hers. Her heart was nearly beating out of her chest, and she felt her cheeks flush. Walking around the corner, right there was a bar, in all its shining glory. She had been waiting for this moment forever. Tonight, she was going to tell him how she felt for him. She didn't care how he reacted. Just for him to know would be enough for her. And nothing could ruin it. Except the tall dirty blond with dark green eyes sitting right on a barstool and immediately noticing him and Olivia.
"Elliot?" Dani gasped. "Dani?! What are you doing here?" His eyes were pratically bugging out of his sockets. "I-always come here on Saturdays. What are you doing here?" Elliot's mouth was open, his jaw almost dropping to the floor. Olivia felt jealousy grow inside her, glaring down at Dani. "I'm....with Olivia...for dinner..." Olivia felt like grinning evily at her, but she didn't want to be childish, so she just raised an eyebrow. "Dani....haven't seen you in a while." Dani half-smiled. "Well I'll see you guys later." She walked off, leaving Elliot surprised and confused. He closed his arm around Olivia's shoulder, as they walked over to a booth. "Well....that was strange." she tried to keep up conversation. He didn't even say anything, just staring in Dani's direction, smirking. "Wow. She's actually come out of the dark." Olivia rolled her eyes. "Hello, Elliot? Best friend over here? You can stop drooling now." That got his attention and he grinned at her. "Sorry. It's just surprising she's here. I haven't seen her in, about 4 years." She took a deep breath, completely forgetting her anger. After all, with Elliot's charm, you must have a been a hetero-sexual to stay angry with him. "Keep me without chains....I never wanted anything so much,than to drown in your love and not feel in your rain..." the music played on the intercom above their heads. "I'm gonna get us some beer, alright?" Elliot smiled. "Ok." Olivia smiled back. As soon as he left, she searched for Dani's face. Sure enough, there was Dani sitting at a table, staring right at her booth. Then she started to walk over to Olivia. "Olivia." Dani glared at her.
"Dani." Olivia arched an eyebrow at her. "What gives you the right to take him?" That just set Olivia immediately off. "I've been waiting 9 years for this....don't screw with me!" Something just set her off there, but she soon cooled. "Besides, I've known Elliot longer than you have, and it was bound to happen sooner or later." Dani only rolled her eyes and continued to glare. "Oh, you are so full of crap. You left once and you think that you can come back and reclaim your precious Elliot, but its not gonna happen." Olivia could see Elliot coming out of the corner of her eye. "And...goodbye." she smiled as Elliot came up behind Dani. "Hello again, Dani. Um...what are you doing?" Of course, she acted completely innocent. "Just girl talk, El." She walked away and Elliot smiled at Olivia and passed her a beer across the table. "Thanks." Thats all she could say. It was true, Dani had intimidated her just a little. But her confidence kept telling her she could give Elliot everything more than Dani ever could. It was time for her to change things. Just with three words. "Elliot?" He looked up from his beer, his Adam's apple bobbing from swallowing a swig of his alchohol. "I need to tell you something." Cracking his knuckles and sighing, he looked and listened intently.
