A/N: Something new to give to the best fandom!

Amaro became part of the SVU team a little over a month and he seemed to be fitting in well with the group… well, everyone except Benson. There was something about her that he couldn't put his finger on, but he was sure he wasn't the only reason she was so cold and offensive all the time. Something had happened before he came, something major but everyone was quite reluctant to talk about it. He heard bits and pieces but all he wanted was the truth. He walked in with a steaming hot cup of coffee in both hands and headed toward the bullpen. His new partner was already at her desk, hard at work on some files that they were backed up on.

"Good morning," Amaro said sitting the cup of joe on the edge of Olivia's desk.

The seasoned detective stopped typing and looked over at the coffee. She desperately needed the sweet, brown liquid, but she wasn't at all ready to call a truce with Amaro for taking her partner's place. Olivia was bitter to no end about Elliot's departure, but she was slowly starting to grasp the fact that he was never coming back. She was going to have to get a new partner soon, but this was outrageous. She didn't have time to mourn her partner nor his departure before 1PP decided to throw another fish in the sex crimes tank.

"Morning." Olivia said without looking up.

Nick realized that even if he kept trying to be nice that this woman wasn't going to change. She was hurt and scorned and in due time it would all go away. He had to give her space to breathe. She obviously didn't do well with losing people so this was definitely affecting her.

"Trying to get an early start on paperwork I see," Nick said trying to make conversation.

Olivia finally looked up at him with a grim expression, "Nick, thank you for the coffee but I just want to get my work done, ok?"

Shaking his head, Nick answered with a silent nod and hit the power button on his computer. This was definitely going to be some difficult months for him. Whoever had hurt her was a pissed poor excuse of a human being. Nick could read people and he saw past Olivia's hardened shell. He knew deep down she was a good person and an awesome detective. He couldn't change what had happened before he got there, but he could definitely try and give her a great future as his new partner.
