Hey I hope you enjoy this story.

The squad was out with Alex at McMullan's to celebrate her victory, on a case they worked really hard to nail the perpetrator. Fin and Elliot walked to their table with two pitchers of beer and glasses. Olivia helped pour out the glasses, and served the cups.

"To our hard-ass counselor," Munch raised his glass to the newest ADA.

Alex smiled that she was invited to join the tight squad that she has falling into, "I wouldn't have been able to do my job without you guys." She touched her glass against another one. "Thanks for the invite." She stated taking a big gulp of her beer.

Olivia placed her glass on to the table, "Well it seems that you will be here awhile, so it's about time we get to know you." She smirked leaning back into her chair.

The blonde turned to the brown eyed female, causing her to smile back at her. "Okay what would you like to know?" She looked backed to the group.

"Don't worry, nothing crazy just how you like your coffee and sandwiches." Elliot asked about one of his favorite topics food.

The server placed down onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and chicken quesadillas on the table. Alex quickly grabbed a mozzarella stick, "Well I love these, and I drink tea over coffee." She ate the melted cheese.

"So does Munch," Liv leaned forward on the table, "But what do you do for fun?"

"I hardly have time to do anything fun," Alex didn't like becoming interrogation with all the detectives around her. "But enough about me, what should I know more about you guys?" She grabbed another stick.

The gang spent an hour or two getting to know the ADA and Fin. Everyone heard Elliot talk about his family. Munch talked about his divorces. The gang slowly parted ways for them to return to their homes. Olivia and Alex were the last ones to leave the pub together. "Where are you heading?" Olivia questioned as she put her jacket.

"I'm not too far," She pointed in the direction that she was heading. "I think I'm going to take in the nice cool air."

Olivia was drawn to continue talk with the younger blonde, "Well would you like company on your way home?"

Alex looked into Olivia's brown eyes, knowing that she wanted to talk to the female detective. "Yeah," She smiled out, "I would like that."

"Okay then lead the way." Olivia put her hand out to guide Alex to move in front of her. Alex started walking towards her apartment. "So you never responded what you like to do for fun."

"I thought I did." Alex being the on point lawyer that she was.

Olivia knows how to refocus on the topics on her mind, "Just because you don't have time to do what you like, doesn't mean you don't know what you like."

Alex was looking down watching the cracks on the cement ground. "Well I like to run, it's nice to stay fit so I can get as much junk as I like to eat. Plus it's fun to actually participate in marathons." Olivia laughed at Alex finally telling her what she asked at the beginning at the night. Alex wasn't happy that Liv was laughing at her, "What?"

"So have you come home from work you still compete?"

"No, no I don't do marathons to win, I just like to run them." Alex defended herself.

"Really maybe I should train for a marathon to do with you."

"Yeah right as if you need to train to do one." Alex has noticed Olivia's tone body. She knows that Olivia chases down preps for the need to stay psychically fit.

"What are you saying?"

Alex stopped their walk to look at Olivia, "I'm just saying you chase after the bad guys, I'm sure you don't need to train."

"Sprinting isn't the same." Liv knew since she was promoted to detective she became lazy in her daily work outs.

Alex didn't want to have a debate on their fitness, "Then come on a run with me." She stepped closer to Liv; knowing they would enjoy it.

Olivia finally looked into the blue eyes for the first time with out anyone around, "Okay. I will." She couldn't resist her eyes.

"Okay then," She was happy that her invitation accepted. Alex bit her bottom lip; as she watched the short haired brunette walk on wards. "So detective," She caught up to Liv, "tell me what do you do for fun?"

"Well I like to cook," Olivia put her gloves on.

Alex had never like to perform into the act of cooking, "Oh yeah what do you like to cook."

"Well it always has to have pasta, but I am not that amazing or do I have time to cook." She laughed knowing that is the same excuse that Alex gave the squad.

Alex stopped in front of a fenced building. "This is me." Olivia stopped to face Alex. "Thank you for walking home."

"No problem, this was nice." Olivia opened up to her. She liked having a female in the group, since Jefferies left SVU. Olivia was now one of the boys and they treated her like such.

Alex smiled as she tucked her long hair behind her ear, "It was thanks for the invite tonight. We should do it again." Alex confessed her enjoyment around Olivia.

Olivia smirked knowing how many times she goes out to drink with the boys, "Don't worry it will. Have a good night." She stated to start walk her way towards her apartment.

Alex walked up her steps, she stopped herself, "Detective." Alex called to look back the brunette.

"Please call me Liv," Olivia turned to the blonde, allowing her to call her the nickname that she lets a handful people to call her.

Alex smirked knowing that she likes to call detective for some reason, "Okay. You still owe me a run." She reminded Olivia.

Liv nodded, "Tell me when." She commanded Alex. Alex nodded to her command to walk into her apartment.

I hope you enjoy the start. Please review. :)
