Complications
Written By: Seriesfanatic
A.N. Possible one-shot depending on reviews. I wrote it in school on Friday so it's pretty lame and it also explains the Algebra reference thing…don't ask, never ask. Well, read, enjoy, and review. /3--Trixie
It wasn't a simple thing, it was as difficult as Algebra the first time you try it, the first time you see letters combined with math, that's how complicated this was.
Everyone saw them as gears, soul-mate partners, an even though Olivia wanted to be that way forever, Olivia Benson knew better. She was a girl, of course, and as all girls know they eventually fall in love with the male friends of their life or at least become attracted to them.
It wasn't the fact that she was gaining attraction to the man across from her, that wasn't the difficult part, facing reality had never been hard for her, even when reality was cruel. It was the fact that Elliot Stabler didn't look at her the same way anymore, his eyes didn't shine with blue intensity as they glanced at each other across the room, the fact that they were no longer incync with each other like they used to be, that was the complicated part. That even thought he was drifting away from her she couldn't help but love him more, an she wondered if he would still die for her.
Elliot felt Olivia's eyes on him as he looked at the paperwork before him. He knew she was confused through the tone in her voice, the way even a statement or demand sounded like a question. He hated to do this but he couldn't loose Olivia forever so he had to throw himself into the arms of another.
Dani Beck was still his partner and he knew if their relationship progressed then he could have Olivia back at his side. If he was to act on his true passion then he would forever be connected to Dani and he couldn't deal with that, he just wished Olivia could understand.
Dani walked behind him and let her hand tickle his back as she passed. He looked to her, a playful smile on his lips. He saw passion growing in her eyes and they both slowly looked away from each other. As Elliot tuned to this desk he didn't allow his eyes to meet Olivia's, he couldn't see the hurt or confusion as it bore into him.
Dani Beck wondered if it would always be this way. Elliot would flirt with her and then turn back to Olivia. She knew that to Olivia she was an intruder to her world, Dani still wondered if Elliot felt the same. All she knew was that she wasn't going to play a game with Elliot. She like him, she knew she liked him, and yet there was nothing to show for it.
"Elliot, do you want to go get something to eat later, or something?" Elliot was shocked by the question.
"Sure." Dani nodded and that was the end of it.
The end of the work day came soon enough and Elliot walked out the door with Dani at his side. She had agreed to drive and they were soon at a small little restaurant in Manhattan. Elliot had been there before he just couldn't remember when too well.
They got small meals, they were mostly there for talking, not eating and Elliot knew this without Dani saying anything. They talked mostly about work keeping everything subtle and not letting emotion come out.
Dani drove Elliot back to the station for him to pick up his car. He couldn't help but notice that Olivia wasn't gone yet, or at least her car was still there. Elliot considered turning and going into the station, and he would of if Dani hadn't put a hand on his shoulder and turned him around. She leaned him into his car and placed her hands on his fade and pulled his face to hers. She shoved her tongue though his lips but he refused to kiss her back. He pushed her away and got in his car, without going to see if Olivia was still there.
Olivia, standing on the roof of the station, saw Dani and Elliot kiss not understanding the innocence of it. She felt the burning tears stream down her face as she turned her back to the parking lot and returned to the station. It was at this moment that she questioned if anything was worth it…
A.N. OoOo…cliffhanger. I know that due to the ending I should already have a second chapter put up but I am honestly still considering whether or not this is a once shot so review and I'll see what I can do. But the good news is that I'm finally out of denial and working my way into acceptance. Wow, the words I speak expressing me pathetic-ness.
