A/N This story takes place in the episode "Philadelphia"

"Don't give me that blue line crap." barked Cragen glaring at his two best detectives.

"You both disobeyed a direct order by taking two unmarked squads out of jurisdiction."

Elliot glanced over at his partner who had her jaw set and eyes locked. He was really tired of covering for his partner, but that exactly who she was. His partner.

"Go home" dismissed their Captain. Olivia went to object, but Elliot threw her a look making her close her mouth quickly. Heaving a sigh Olivia walked out of the office with her partner on her heels.

"Liv-" Elliot began, but she stopped him

"Don't. I know I have a lot of explaining to do" Elliot scoffed and rolled his eyes at her statement.

"El do not start" Olivia said grabbing her coat, service piece and badge. Elliot did something he promised himself he'd never do. He grabbed Olivia's arm in a vice like gripe and she spun around as expected. Her eyes turned from brown to black in a matter of seconds. Elliot's sky blue eyes where no a dark midnight blue. The reaction had to be either from the long awaited contact or the soft groan that escaped Olivia's lips.

Elliot quickly turned his head away and let go of her arm. Slowly, but steadily his breathing returned to its regular pace. The feelings that coursed through his veins expeditiously where a different story. It felt as if his heart dropped into his stomach and honestly it was the most sensational feeling he ever felt.

Olivia on the other hand didn't know whether to be furious or act like a love struck fool. Her heart was pounding loudly in her chest and her temper was rising by the minute.

Suddenly, tears sprung to her eyes. How was she supposed to see this man everyday when he doesn't even know that she loves him? Why was this all so confusing? Her feeling would always affect the way she though or saw him.

"I have to go." Olivia said walking away with her head down.
