Author's Note: Hey Guys! So this is going to be a cute little two-shot. I saw a picture of Mariska and Chris on a red carpet and he was wearing a blue tie, and I just had to write this! I will be updating "Unforeseen" soon; I just haven't had that much free time lately. If you guys have any ideas for some other one or two-shots, please let me know. I love your reviews and you guys are the best!

She had come into work two hours early that morning because she couldn't sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, all she would see were those shiny pools of blue staring at her, and no matter how hard she tried, she could stop thinking about them. About him. She knew that she shouldn't be thinking like that about him, but she just couldn't help it. He was her partner, for crying out loud! Not her boyfriend, no matter how much she wanted him to be.

"Good morning," a voice that sent chills down her spine called from behind her, bringing her out of her reverie.

"Hey," was the only word she could say when she saw him. Not only did he look amazing, as usual, he was wearing a shiny, light blue tie that made his eyes look bluer than the ocean in Jamaica. She felt her insides melt and turn to mush when he looked at her with those eyes.

"Are you okay, Liv?" he asked noticing the dark circles under her eyes. "Did you get enough sleep last night?" he always knew when something wasn't right with her.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine," she said quickly, turning away from him. She knew he would be able to tell that she was lying if she looked him in the eye.

"Alright," he said noticing how she turned away from him. He knew that she always did that when something was bothering her and she didn't want him to know what it was. "But, if you need to talk about something, I'm here." He was cautious not to push her to tell him anything, knowing that would just make her not want to tell him more.

Before she could respond, Captain Cragen emerged from his office, carrying a slip of paper.

"You two, vic, St. Gertrude's. Go." The captain said to them as he handed Elliot a slip of paper.

"Well good morning to you too, Cap'n," he said under his breath as he watched his captain walk back into his office.

Olivia grabbed her coat and coffee and walked out of the squad room beside her partner and to his car. Lately, and she didn't know why, but she had been thinking about him more than a normal person should think about someone. She even convinced herself that she was in love with him once. How crazy is that?

She was nervous about being alone with him. She didn't want to say something that would probably ruin their friendship and partnership forever, but she also didn't know how much longer she would be able to hold it in for.

Throughout the whole ride to the hospital, Olivia didn't say anything except for "yeah", "no", and "I know," as she listened to Elliot talk about his failing marriage. She couldn't risk saying anything else with the fear that she would have a slip of the tongue, especially while the topic of conversation was Kathy.

"I can't believe she won't sign the damn divorce papers! I mean if she really wanted to save this marriage, she would stop yelling and throwing things at me every chance she got. She says she will only sign if I give her the house and full custody of the kids, which there is no way in hell is happening!" Elliot ranted on and on to Olivia about his loveless marriage, while Olivia sat there, trying to hold herself back from telling him that she doesn't deserve him.

How could someone let someone as amazing as Elliot Stabler out of her life? You would have to be completely insane to think that he was as horrible as Kathy thought he was! It just made no sense to her. She would never give Elliot a reason to hate her as much as he hates Kathy. She deserved him more than his idiotic wife! But, she couldn't have him without destroying both of their lives.

While Olivia's thoughts were eating out her brain, Elliot was just getting angrier by the minute from just talking about his wife.

"A few months ago, she started accusing me of sleeping with you! How ridiculous is that? She thinks that you are the reason for this marriage falling apart!" this made Olivia's head turn to look at him. "She thinks that the reason that I've been working later than usual lately is because I get to be with you, not that I don't love being with you, but she honestly thinks I would cheat on her! The only reason I haven't been home as much is because I sleep in the cribs most nights. The thought of going home and having to sleep next to her in the same bed sickens me."

He rambled about her all the way to the hospital, Olivia trying to hold herself back with all of her willpower. When the doctor told them that the victim was sleeping and would probably wake up within the hour, they decided to go to the hospital café for a second cup of coffee. Olivia had finished hers on the way there, as an excuse to not talk.

They sat down at one of the tables, and Elliot finally asked the question that she was dreading. She was terrified by the fact that he would make her look him in the eyes when she answered, and he would know that she was lying. This would change everything for everyone.

Author's Note: I hope you guys like it so far! I will be posting part 2 later this week, but for now what do you guys think? This is also my first one/two shot, so let me know how I'm doing so far. Love you guys! 3
