Friday nights had become a routine. They ordered take out and spent the night talking, nothing ever happened and they never told anyone about how they spent their night. Cragen had asked once, seeing the looks they gave each other, but he was told nothing. His detectives were secretive, not that he blamed them. Hell, no one wanted an IAB investigation.
Olivia and Elliot spoke late into the night, falling asleep in each other's arms. They had gone into Olivia's room and gone to bed when they could no longer keep their eyes open. Elliot wrapped his arms around her and they had peacefully fallen asleep.
Later that night, Olivia jerked awake. Elliot wasn't sleeping on his side of the bed. Olivia got up and checked the rest of the apartment when she saw Elliot asleep on the couch a blanket pulled over him.
Olivia stood a few moments just watching him sleep, leaning on the door frame. Elliot woke a few moments later glancing up and seeing Olivia standing there.
"You're staring" he accused.
"Oh sorry" came the reply, light and cheeky.
"Couldn't Sleep?"
"I woke up and you weren't there I thought..."Olivia broke off.
"I'd left?" Elliot finished her sentence for her.
"Yeah"
"Liv, I would never do that t you. I promise"
Olivia sat down curling up next to Elliot her back against his chest. He pulled the blanket around the both of them before falling asleep holding Olivia once again in his arms.
