I thought I should write something like this about 2 months ago. And here I am, at 1:06 am in Christmas Day. Just couldn't let the idea disappear. Merry Christmas!

Special Victims Unit Squad
"So who are you going to have dinner with?" Olivia asked. It was Christmas Eve, and she (as always) asked his partner what he was going to do. But this year, it was different. Now, he was really divorced from Kathy and living alone in an apartment near hers.
"I don't know. Kathy took the kids with her aunt to Georgia. I guess I'll be alone. How about you?" Elliot asked. He knew the answer was probably going to be the same as his, but a beautiful woman like Olivia should be invited to some guy's house to have "dinner"
"I'll be with the turkey discussing the weather... Just me and the turkey" She answered.
"Oh, I wish I could have such good plans for Christmas. Seriously, are you going to be alone?"
"Yes, as the past year... and the one before the past" Olivia said. It was the truth. Since her mother died, she had spend all Christmas alone in her apartment.
"Well, you haven't been to my new apartment, have you? Let's go. We will have dinner together"
"Great" She knew that was going to be one of the best Christmas dinner ever. Elliot grabbed their coat from the rack and they walked out of the precinct.

8:45 Elliot's apartment
"Here we are. Stabler's new residence" Elliot said opening the door. Olivia walked in and look around.
"Oh it's... small. But cozy, I guess" She said
"Hey, I'm a detective!"
"El, I was joking. It's great you've your own space"
"I know. Now, let's talk about the dinner. What do you want to eat?" Elliot asked
"You cooking? Wow, I'm really impressed. I told you, I want turkey"
"You are so wrong if you think I'm preparing the dinner alone. You will help me" Elliot laughed
"You know, the reason I didn't become a chef is because I suck at cooking"
"You're joking. Come on, let's try" Elliot grabbed her arm and pulled her to the kitchen. She suddenly stumbled with the table. Elliot caught her and their faces were so close. God, she was so beautiful, and he did what he waited 10 years for. He kissed her. It seemed hours and just a second at the same time for both, but they finally finished it.
"Hmm... sorry?" Elliot said
Olivia smiled and she kissed him again "Don't worry"
"Are we doing this because of the moment or because we really feel it?" Elliot asked
"Well, I have felt it for the past 10 years, but unfortunately you were married. Today, you are not. I really feel it. And you?"
"Same answer"
She nodded "OK, the turkey is not going to cook itself"
"You're right"Elliot said and there was a minute of silence and then Olivia said:
"You had all this planned, didn't you?"
"Oh you must be a detective" Elliot smiled and took her hand "I love you"
I hope you liked it. This was a One-Shot, just to give your Christmas a little of extra happiness. Please, leave a review.
