A/N: Yeah, I know, an odd pairing. But I read some John/Olivia Fanfics and liked the idea alot. If this makes any sense though, I LOVE Munch/Olivia as a fanfiction pairing, but for the actual show I'm Elliot/Olivia all the way. Weird, I know. Don't Kill me.

The Oddly Perfect Couple - Chapter one

"Alright, you guys can go home now. I'll call you when something comes up," Announced Cragen to the SVU gang. They had all been working on a case involving a serial killer who only targeted children, and it had taken them all working round the clock for the past day and a half to catch him. They all would have cheered with excitement and relief if they weren't about to drop dead from exhaustion.

John Munch wouldn't have responded even if he could, he was to busy with his frantic thoughts. Come on John, you can do it. Don't be a wimp. Ask her!

But what if she said no?

Just ask her to dinner! Your hungry, she's hungry, you'll both go eat. It's that freakin' simple.

No! It's not!

This battle continued to rage on the inside of his head, until the woman currently occupying his thoughts got his attention.

"Munch! Earth to John Munch!" When that didn't work, Olivia resorted to a different method, " John! Come quick! The aliens have landed and they're abducting George W. Bush to replace him with a clone!"

His head shot up only to be greeted by the sight of the beautiful Olivia Benson laughing at him. He tried very hard to suppress the funny feeling he got in his stomach just from the sound of it. For god's sake man, she's probably over 10 years younger than you.

"Not funny Benson." He said, then looked around, "Were the heck is everyone?"

"Um, they left...like the Captain told them too." She studied him for a moment, "Okay. Seriously, has your mind been in another universe entirely this whole time?"

"Well, theoretically, if the aliens took over my frontal lobe and - Olivia cut him off,

"Don't even start with the conspiracy theories."He rolled his eyes but eventually nodded in defeat. They both stared awkwardly around the empty precinct for a minute or so before Munch spoke up,

"Um, wou- would you- do you want to come get dinner with me?" He stuttered, then mentally kicked himself for it. Smooth John, real smooth.

He's kind of cute when he stutters like that. Thought Olivia, whoa, did I really just think that about John? It was then that she realized she hadn't answered him yet, and he was beginning to backtrack.

"You know, uh, Just forget it, uh I gotta go..." He said rapidly. There's that cute stutter again, Olivia thought with a small smile. She quickly reassured him, "Sure John, I could use a bite to eat." Munch smirked, "You could have said so sooner." He tried going for nonchalant, but inside he was practically dancing with happiness and disbelief. She said yes? She said yes!

" I know a diner about ten minutes from here that would probably be open at this hour," He said, and she nodded, letting him lead the way to his car. She smiled when he opened the passenger side door for her. "Oh my, is grumpy old John Munch actually a gentleman?!" She said with mock surprise, which he returned, " Does the serious Olivia Benson actually have a sense of humor?!"

She laughed lightly and he started his car. They spent the entire drive in silence, but it wasn't exactly awkward. Munch parked clumsily in the nearest spot behind the Diner, and when he opened the door for her again she gave him a teasing grin, which he returned with a glare of his own.

They sat down at a booth in the far corner, where it was less crowded, and about ten minutes later the waitress arrived. They both went for something simple and got a hamburger. Well, a hamburger for Munch, a cheeseburger for Olivia. The food arrived surprisingly fast for such a busy restaurant, and after the waitress had gone, Olivia took a small bite out of her cheeseburger, chewed for a moment, and spoke. " So, why did you ask me to come to dinner with you?"

"Maybe I just wanted to, " He said defensively, then his voice softened, "why did you agree to come?"

"Maybe I just wanted to," She parroted, though it wasn't defensive like his reply was.

"But, why would you say yes?"Munch asked, exasperated, "I thought you liked Stabler!"

Olivia almost laughed at the common misconception, and corrected him, " I don't like Stabler, I love him like a brother. He's a good partner and a great friend." A relieved expression passed over Munch's face briefly, and she decided to have fun and call him on it, " Was that relief I saw on your face for a second?" She asked teasingly.

Munch tried for angry and defensive but gave up and grumbled, "Your such a detective."

"Yeah, and so are you." She retorted. After a few minutes in which they both succeeded to almost finish their meals, Olivia asked a bit awkwardly, " So, seriously...relief?"

Munch's cheeks tinged a shade of light red as he stared down at the table, " Yeah...I like you. So what?" Olivia laughed, " Your cute when you blush." Munch looked up at her, surprised.

" Know one's called me cute in years."

"Well, we'll have to fix that then, won't we." It wasn't a question, it was a statement. Detective Olivia Benson was flirting with him, he thought he might just die right there.

They split the bill after spending to much time arguing over who should pay, and Munch drove her back to the Precinct parking lot, walking her to her car. Before either of them knew what was happening Munch was leaning in closer, and Olivia was doing the same. There lips were just an inch a part, and with a quick breath that left a pleasant tickling sensation on Munch's face, Olivia closed the gap. Munch leaned into her, gently pushing her back against her car. The kiss deepened and Olivia sighed into Munch's mouth, making a tingle run down his spine. After a few heated moments they pulled away gently, gasping for air. Once she had restored her oxygen supply Olivia blinked a few times in disbelief, before breathing out a quick, "wow."

"Right there with you," Commented Munch with a cross between an awestruck smile and a smirk. Olivia laughed at his expression, though she expected hers was somewhat the same. " See you tomorrow, Bens- I mean Liv," Said Munch. He actually called me Liv, she nearly giggled like a schoolgirl, but saved herself the embarrassment. She gave Munch a quick but passionate kiss that left him blushing, "Bye John." He nodded distractedly and hopped into his car, grinning like a fool, something he hadn't done in a while. A while probably being over a year. Tomorrow was going to be interesting, he thought, I wonder if the guys will catch on, he chuckled, thinking of the expressions that would be on their faces if he walked into the station actually happy.
