I got this idea from a Will & Grace episode, granted I didn't see the whole episode, just clips but hey, it will work. Then, when I heard the Ryan Cabrera song, 'I Will Remember You', it fit perfectly.
I don't own anyone, obviously.
I love reviews. Good or bad. Enjoy.
Fin reclined in his seat and he looked out the precinct windows. Still raining, on a Friday. It seemed that all crime had stopped because of the rainy, cold weather, leaving the detectives with paperwork. He decided to force himself out of the comfort of his chair and get himself a cup of coffee. He stood by the coffee machine as he waited for the pot to fill with the caffeine filled liquid, which also was the only thing keeping him from crawling up in the crib.
He looked at the two detectives that were closest to him, Benson and Stabler. Things between them were extremely edgy lately, to say the least. His partner walked over to him and noticed his stare. "Looking at the tension that can be cut with a knife?"
"I'm glad that I'm not the only one that notices these two." He whispered. "What's up between them?"
"You're guessing is as good as mine. Hurry up with the coffee, would you? Mine went cold about ten minuets ago."
"They're going to snap anytime, I can just feel it." Fin mumbled to himself.
"What are you doing tonight, Liv?" Elliot asked, looking up at his partner for the first time in the past two hours.
"I, am going to dinner with Andrew." She said, capping her pen.
"Andrew Price? From the 2-7?" Elliot asked, slightly annoyed that she was going to dinner with him for the third time this week.
"Yes, Elliot. We've had this discussion already." She said.
"Seems like you like him. Do you?" He really didn't care to hear her answer, but he listened anyway.
"I do." She said, giving him a signature smile.
"Oh." He said, and Olivia immediately noticed his disappointment.
"What?"
"Nothing. It just seems like you're always with him whenever you're not here."
"Why does that matter, El?" She paused.
"I just miss our dinners, Liv."
Olivia laughed and rolled her eyes. "You have got to be kidding me. For once, Elliot, I like a guy and you are making such a big deal about this. Why? Why now? Why not two years ago when I met guys randomly and brought them back to my apartment? Why not when I came in the next day after my dates didn't go well because they found out about my job?" She was practically screaming, now. "Was it because you were still married? Was it because you could go home to someone whose life wasn't as fucked up as mine? Was it, Elliot, WAS IT!" She yelled.
Cragen walked into the bullpen and saw his two star detectives glaring at each other. "If you two are going to scream at each other, do it up in the crib where the rest of us don't have to hear it."
Elliot looked at Cragen, and then back Olivia. "Crib. Now." He said, through his clenched teeth.
Elliot closed the door behind him as the two stood staring at each other. "You have some nerve to say that to me, Olivia Benson."
"Like hell I do." She said. "You had no interest in my dates before you got divorced. And now that you don't have Kathy, you are looking for the one woman who you are closer to, and that's me. And now that I have found another guy that I'm interested in, you think I'm shutting you out. Don't you?"
"You know what, I do. I fucking do. You've been going out with this Andrew guy and you can do nothing but talk about him. You could at least spare me the details, I don't need to hear every fucking thing about your date."
"For once, I am happy. Truly happy with one guy that I meet. And all you can think about is yourself. Well, what about how I feel? I like him, Elliot. You're going to have to deal with this."
"I am so sick of us fighting, Olivia! It's bullshit!"
"That is not all my fault, and you know it. There are two people in this partnership, Elliot. You let your anger control you and you snap at everything! Don't even try to deny it."
"I won't deny it. I FUCKING LET MY ANGER GET TO ME AND YOU KNOW IT FIRST HAND! I am sick of every word out of your mouth being something negative when we're not on a case."
"If that's what you think, then I want a new partner." She said, causing him to freeze.
"What?" He asked.
"You heard me, Elliot. I'm sick of bickering with you. We've been partners longer than anyone else, I think it's gotten to be the best of us."
"Great. Tell Cragen, and I'm sure he can get one of us transferred by tomorrow. It's been nice working with you, Olivia." He said, before storming out of the crib.
Olivia walked down and into Cragen's office. "Olivia, please –" She cut him off.
"I want a new partner." She said.
"Olivia, think about this." Cragen said. He wasn't in the mood to hire a new detective.
"I want this Capitan."
"Olivia…" She cut him off again.
"Capitan, I'm sorry. I love my job more than anything, but it's just too hard."
Cragen sighed. "If this is what you really want. There's an opening in CPU, if you don't want to wait."
"I'll take it." She said, without any thought.
Like it? I have no clue where I am going with this, so any suggestion would be WONDERFUL.
