AN: Happy Birthday Alex! You are absolutely amazing and I love you!
Here is your present.
Also I don't own SVU.
Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler walk out of the interrogation room and head to their desks. "Ugh that guy is a total creep," Olivia says as she drops into her chair.
Elliot Stabler sits down in his chair with a nod of his head. "He is a creep, but he is a guilty creep. At least you got him to confess, and now we are done for the day."
Olivia looks at her desk disdainfully, "Except for all of the paperwork." A shadow crosses over Olivia's desk. She looks up to see Fin and Munch standing in front of her with a bunch of flowers.
"Happy Birthday Benson!" Fin announces as he hands Olivia the flowers.
"Guys you really didn't have to get me anything."
"We wanted to. You are the brightness around here. You deserve something to brighten your day." Munch says with almost a smile.
Olivia rolls her eyes. "Bright Benson. That doesn't quite have the same ring as Badass Benson, but I'll take it. Thank you guys."
At that moment Cragen sticks his head out of his office. "Fin, Munch, there is a victim at the hospital. Benson it's your birthday. The paperwork can wait until tomorrow. Get out of here early. You too Stabler."
Elliot stands up and grabs his coat. "Come on Liv, I'm going to take you out to eat for your birthday."
Olivia stands and puts her coat on as well. "What about the kids?"
Elliot smiles at the thought of his children. He had surprisingly gotten to see his children more since his divorce. "The kids are with Kathy this weekend. Come on I'll drive." Elliot says as he opens up the passenger side door for Olivia.
Elliot and Olivia have a nice dinner out talking about everything other than work. Olivia happily listens to what the twins have been up to in school and promises to come to their next choir concert. Olivia is starting to feel like they are out on a date even though she knows that Elliot Stabler would not want to go on a date with her. They are just friends after all. After dessert, Olivia tries to pay for her own meal, but she concedes and allows Elliot to pay since it is her birthday after all.
When they get to Olivia's apartment building, Elliot insists on walking her to her door. "I had a great time tonight. Thank you El."
"Your welcome Liv. I'm glad you enjoyed." Elliot says as he awkwardly stands by her door. 'This is insane. I shouldn't feel nervous. I've walked her to her door a ton of times before.' Elliot thinks to himself.
"Well I should get inside," Olivia says gesturing into her apartment. "Good night El."
"Night Liv," Elliot says and before he can talk himself out of it he gives her a quick yet slightly passionate kiss on the lips. "Happy Birthday!" and with that Elliot Stabler turns to leave her apartment building.
With a huge smile on her face Olivia walks into her apartment and closes the door. When the door is closed she leans against it and whispers to herself, "Best birthday ever."
