Merry Xmas
Blowing my own trumpet mixed in with a bit of humour. Enjoy.
Olivia Benson and Alex Cabot are sitting on a lovely old comfortable couch, up high on a stage looking nervously out over the hundreds of people watching them expectantly.
You could hear a pin drop as the crowd waited for one beauty or the other to speak, wondering which would go first.
Alex squeezed Olivia's hand in comfort when she shuddered in terror, poor Liv wasn't used to talking to the masses, she normally stood in the background watching over her when she fronted to the cameras for a case. Bearing that in mind she sighed and decided to bite the bullet.
"Good evening all, as you know my name is Alex Cabot" she smiled as the adoring fans screamed and then nudged Olivia as they settled
"Er hi, I'm Olivia" Olivia blushed when the fans went wild again.
"We came here tonight as a favour to Crispy75, we owe her" Alex beamed while the Crispy75 fans screamed in excitement.
"Yeah we do" Olivia nodded "After reading all the fanfics she wrote about us we finally decided to give a relationship a shot and we couldn't be happier" she gave Alex a loving look and the crowd sighed at the display of affection. Alex blinked back into the present.
"So" Alex smiled out over the audience, not really able to see them due to the large spotlight in her eyes "On behalf of Crispy75 we'd like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Unfortunately she's in Australia with family and work commitments and couldn't be here tonight"
The crowd booed causing the ladies to laugh. Alex waved her hand to silence them.
"Anyway she sends her love to all her avid fans and requests that you keep reading and reviewing and if you have friends to pass on the word. She loves getting reviews but unfortunately can't always reply to all of them" Alex told them
"That's right" Olivia nodded more confidant now "Doesn't mean she doesn't care or isn't grateful for them and she loves sharing them with her partner"
"Yes, yes, anyway we don't have a lot of time left" Alex told them and paused as more boos were issued but waited for the din to quieten. "However Crispy75 says never fear, she'll try her best to update her stories after Christmas and New Year and one shots are always popping into her head so you should be well satisfied"
"Hmmm but not as satisfied as you make me" Olivia whispered then blushed as the microphone picked it up. All the fans hooted and catcalled. Alex laughed at her embarrassed partner.
"We best be going now, Olivia's getting frisky" she paused as a wolf whistle rent the air "Got some mistletoe around the house I have to get her under so we can provide some heat" she shot Olivia a hot look and the brunette swallowed hard as heat swamped her body.
Alex just grinned "Liv's got an appointment with a tattooist tomorrow, chicken is finally going to return the favour and get a tattoo of my name"
"I'll get to show it off tomorrow at the poker game with the guys"
"Yes but no daring them to play strip poker" Alex ordered and the crowd laughed.
"Never, there's only one person I want to kiss and that's you" Olivia told her and the crowd sighed dreamily. Although some just wished they'd get over the mush and get on with the smut already.
Alex stood and pulled Olivia to her feet, the crowd was restless and sad as they knew their time was about over.
"Well I know it was quick but we have to get moving, maybe when the holidays are over and things get back to normal we can do this again for longer"
"Yeah" Olivia confirmed "Be safe out there and have a Merry Christmas all" she waved and Alex joined in the salute as the crowd jumped to their feet and clapped and cheered while they walked off stage. They were all sad but figured they could go back and read the other stories until Olivia, Alex and Crispy75 returned.
