Elliot gave a deep sigh as he watched Olivia walking across the squadroom. He wondered if he'd ever get to tell her how he felt about her.

He didn't know when, or how, but damnit, he loved her. He was sure he still loved Kathy, but he wanted to be with Olivia no matter what the cost.

He didn't know how long he spent staring at her, but Huang brought him out of his thoughts.

"Detective, are you okay? You look rather upset-" Elliot cut him off.

"I don't want to talk about my feelings, got it?" He snapped. George shrugged and walked away.

Olivia walked up to him. "Was that necessary?" She admonished.

"I hate shrinks." Elliot growled. Olivia shook her head.

"Is there anything you DO like?" She teased. Elliot nodded.

"You." Olivia blinked.

"Excuse me?"

"I love you, Olivia." Elliot confessed. He pulled her close and kissed her deeply. Olivia sighed into the kiss.

"I've always wanted this." She said as she broke away. Elliot rested his forehead against hers.

"Same here."

Across the squadroom, Don, Melinda, George, John and Fin broke into applause.

"Finally!" John exclaimed. Elliot chuckled and pulled Olivia into anohter kiss.

"Let's get out of here." He suggested. Olivia nodded and they walked out the door.

"I love you." She murmured.

"You too." Elliot replied.
