Partners?

John Munch was watching his partner Odafin Tutuola carefully.
"Fin?" Munch asked. Fin was paying no attention. "Earth to Odafin."
"Oh Sorry what were you saying Munch?" Fin asked casually.
"What's going on with you Fin? You've been out of it for days."
"It's nothing Munch. Thanks for asking though." Fin told him. "I'll catch you later." Fin said rushing out the door. Olivia looked at Munch who looked worried about his partner.
"Munch can I have a word with you? Olivia Benson asked. John nodded and followed her.
"What's up Liv?" John asked. Everyone called her Liv. Olivia smiled and sat down.
"What's up with you John? You've been watching Fin closely."
"Liv I cant talk about it. Not here. Not now. Not ever." John said sadly.
"Listen I don't want to pry but why not come over for dinner tonight. I am cooking." Liv asked smiling.
"Liv," John started then stopped when he realized that Liv was giving him the look of shame. "Fine you win. I'll come."
"Good. Here's my address. Be there by six." Olivia smiled. John couldn't help but smile back. "Pasta and bread ok?" John nodded. Olivia and John went back into the squad room. Olivia left at 5:30 to get everything ready. At quarter to six there was a knock on the door. "Hey your right on time." Olivia ushered him in. "Have a seat and I will get you a cold one. You look like you could use it."
"Olivia," John started as she came back in with the beer. "I am sorry if I was rude to you at work today. It's just I have been watching fin for a few week's and he's been out of it since that case where the two gay men were murdered. I have been watching him because he has been down and distant Liv." Olivia nodded.
"John it hit close to home for him. What has he told you?" Olivia asked.
"Nothing Liv. That's why I have been watching him." John told her his eyes tearing.
"John. Fin's got a son. He's in college. He's gay John. That's why Fin's unnerved about this case. His son was at that club that night." Olivia told John.
"Wait his son's Randell isn't it?" Olivia nodded. "He's a good kid Liv."
"I know John. Can I ask you a personal question?" John nodded. "Do you have feeling's for Fin and that's why you didn't want to talk?" All of a sudden John was choking on his beer. Olivia rubbed his back. "You ok there John?"
"Yeah Liv on both accounts." John said. "Was I that obvious about Fin?"
"No you weren't John. I could just see it in your eyes. Fin's a great guy John. He was on the down-low for a while. He's scared John." Olivia said as they ate. "That's why his marriage didn't work out. Talk to him John." John smiled.
"I will Liv. Yet I just cant come out and say I have feeling's for him." John told her. "I mean he's probably in a relationship anyway Olivia. I mean look at him."
"Actually he's not in a relationship right now. The guy he was with walked out on him about 8 months ago. Couldn't handle Fin leaving in the middle of the night to take a case." John looked at her, and her laughed. "What we talk."
Fin was sitting at home thinking. He pulled out his cell and dialed Olivia unconsciously.
"Hey Fin my man what's going on?" Olivia asked looking at John who was smiling.
"Liv I need help. I am sorry to bother you but your the only one I can trust right now. I mean you know everything. I am ready to bust again." Olivia looked worried.
"I will be there soon. Just hang on." She hung up. "John..."
"Go help Fin. I will do the dishes and then lock the door when I leave. If you trust me."
"I do trust you John, but you don't have to do the dishes. I will do them when I get home." John just pushed her toward the door.
"I want to Liv. Please. Just go make sure my partner's ok." John said hugging her. "Call me if you need anything Liv. I mean anything. Promise?"
"Yeah John. I promise. I am sorry to cut dinner short." She got her coat on. She left and got to Fins and noticed the lights out. She knocked lightly. Fin answered crying. "Come on Fin. It's ok." She walked them into the apartment. "Tell Livies what's wrong."
