Spoilers: Season 12 - Penetrated
Pairing: Olivia/Elliot Friendship (Ship, if you squint)
Disclaimer: Not my show, not my characters. I'm just filling in some blanks.
Genre: General, short sarcastic exchanges between our favorite detectives with a hint of sadness from Liv. Because it is impossible for Liv to ever be happy on this show.
A/N: I wrote this a while ago as a missing scene for Penetrated, taking place right after Elliot gets his bullet wound treated. As it says in the summary, Elliot gets shot all the time you have to wonder how he affords all that dry cleaning.
Olivia Benson ran a hand through her hair as she took a vigilant stance next to the bed of an injured and very bare chested Elliot Stabler. Monitors hissed and beeped monotonously, Elliot's chest rose and fell rhythmically. Her eyes met the scars beneath the hairs on his chest, counting four long slits and two holes around the right side of his shoulder. She was starting to grow tired of this twisted feeling in her gut.
The surgery had been simple enough, passing in and through his left shoulder. No digging for a bullet. Just patching up the holes. Nothing new. They've been here before. They have.
Elliot's face scrunched before his blue eyes peeked open.
"How are you feeling?" Olivia asked and hovered closer to her partner.
"Like I've been shot," Elliot slurred.
She smiled sympathetically and teased, "Should have kept your mouth shut, El."
"I'm a jinx," Elliot sighed. "Looks like I'm going to need a new blazer. Again."
Olivia laughed and for a second, she forgot how Dana's bullet could have just as easily flown in and out of his skull. "This one's on me," Olivia said.
"What?" Elliot turned his head in her direction.
"Can't have all of Eli's college fund go into restocking your wardrobe," she smirked and crossed her arms as Elliot narrowed his gaze towards her and pretended to laugh.
Let me know what you think!
