A/N: This is my second story and my first SVU story. Of course it has to be E/O as they are my fave pairing and I will go down with that ship.

Olivia's hair was in need of a trim and boy did she know it. She had really bad split ends and didn't know how she let things get so bad. Normally she took very good care of her hair and got haircuts regularly. But with the job being so busy lately she hadn't had the time to go get it done. She looked at the ends of her hair just as Elliot walked into the bull pen and sat at his desk. "What cha doin' Liv?" questioned Elliot. "Hmm... Oh just seeing how damaged my hair is. I am getting it cut tomorrow." Olivia replied. Elliot frowned and panicked. He loved her shoulder length hair and most of all her bangs and how they always fell in her eyes different ways and gave her sexy looks. "Ah Liv do you really need a haircut? Your hair looks just fine to me." Elliot said in a panicked voice. This was not lost on Olivia at all. 'Why is he panicking over me getting a haircut' thought Olivia. Then it dawned on her. Elliot must have some sort of feelings for her and really like her appearance just the way it is. "Relax El I am only getting a short trim tomorrow." Olivia said. She then gestured to him with her index finger and thumb how short a trim she meant. Elliot let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding in. Olivia noticed this but chose not to say anything. "I think I might do something about my bangs too" Olivia said. Again panic rose up in Elliot. 'Oh no not her bangs' thought Elliot. 'Anything but her bangs' Elliot silently pleaded.

Olivia looked at the strange expression on his face and knew for sure she was right. Her partner was so into her and it showed. "But Liv your bangs have been a part of you for a long time. And you always get compliments for them." Stated Elliot. "True... You know what on second thought I will keep them then if some tells me in the next 5 minutes how much they love them." Olivia challenged. Two minutes later Elliot whispered over to Olivia "I love your bangs and you had better keep them." He said in a firm voice. Olivia thought that sounded more like a command than a compliment. She looked him in the eyes and replied in a whisper "Is that an order Stabler?" He whispered back "And what if it is Benson?" He challenged. "Then I guess I better follow it so you don't end up sad and mopey" she replied in defeat. "I do not end up sad and mopey when you don't listen to me" Elliot said in defense. "Uh yeah you do El but let's not get into it right now" Olivia said putting her hands up in surrender. "You can see my new hair length tomorrow afternoon right after my haircut" Olivia stated. "You can even play with my bangs you seem to love so much" she finished. "Are you teasing me partner?" Elliot asked. "Nah if I was teasing you partner you'd know it" Olivia replied with a serious face. Elliot just looked at her like she had dropped a bomb on him then turned back to his papers. He realized it was going to be a long day until he saw her hair again.
