All right, all my SVU people! If you didn't know already, I'm Erika - bensonlover99 from youtube. My good friend Chelsea gave me the idea for starting a fanfiction story, and also encouraged me to finally post it. This wouldn't have happened without her! Give me some feedback, my loves! This is so new to me it's scary. I hope you like!
"Liv, what you did for my family..." He touches her cheek with a simple brush of his finger. He's never touched her like this before. She moves back a bit, hesitant of his sudden, forward action. She was scared, most of all because of her response. Her eyes darted from his lips, to his eyes, and back to his lips again. In the still of the silence, she felt as though his gaze was burning through her skin. She couldn't take it… it was so surreal.
Elliot brought up his hand slowly, and his palm went flat on her right cheek. So soft and feminine, he was surprised at how much he could see into her. She had cracked, her vulnerability escaping her.
"El," she whispered. "What are we...what are you doing?" She wasn't alarmed. She spoke in a hushed tone. She wanted everything he could give her, but she just had to put it out there...that this was very wrong.
Elliot spoke sincerely. "I was so close to...to losing my family...my daughter. You saved her. You're...incredible."
Olivia breathed in deeply. Her cheek tingled.
"You never...you deserve so much more than you get, Liv. You never get any sort of recognition for the good that you do."
"El...," she pleaded, with a cracking voice.
Elliot stared straight into her eyes. "I owe you everything."
They were both speechless.
Realization reflected in his eyes. They kept darting back and forth from one of Olivia's eyes, to the other.
Olivia's full lips were parted ever so slightly, fear and desperation written all over her face.
Elliot caressed her cheek lightly with his thumb. "Liv, you mean the world to me. He sighed, trying to think of what to say next. God, how do I make you understand?"
Olivia closed her eyes, and tilted her head slightly away from him. She couldn't stand this much longer. It was wrong. They were much too close.
Suddenly, Elliot leaned in and kissed her lips tenderly. Olivia's mouth opened due to pure shock, her eyes immediately went to the floor innocently. She then lifted her eyes to meet his, still tight-lipped in shock.
"What did you say to me in the courtroom?" Elliot said kissing her continuously.
"N-nothing," she replied, eyes closed, body trembling.
"Tell me what you said."
She smiled slightly. "You know what I said."
He chuckled, staring right back into her eyes "Tell me again."
Olivia opened her eyes, Elliot pulled back to look at her. "You looked cute as a carrot," she simply stated. She waited 5 seconds, before an uncontrollable smirk came over her face. She then looked him and rolled her eyes delightfully, somewhat embarrassed.
Elliot smiled back at her. "I still have that costume," he told her. "I want to show it to you," he said seductively.
Olivia looked at him and, inquisitively.
"C'mon!" He said, as he grasped her hand, and led her out of the room quickly. She had to run a couple steps to catch up with his pace. As she did, she looked back at where they were standing, and smiled delightfully. Somehow, those love songs she always listened to didn't sound so out of reach after all.
