Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or the show, but if I did, Olivia and Elliot would already be together.

A/N: This is just a little drabble sort of thing that kept me up all night, so I decided to upload it. It's set during the end scene of "Wrath". Hope you like it :)


The rain came down in thick, wet blankets, dripping down the window, which she sat in front of, staring out but not really seeing. Olivia Benson had been sitting on her sofa staring out it for a good hour, lost in her thoughts. Each drop of rain she saw run down the cold, hard glass of the window reminding her painfully of warm drops of blood running down cold, pale skin. But even as she sat so close to the window, staring out it, she was still far from the glass that separated her from the harsh world outside it.

A dull knocking on the front door brought her out of her thoughts. She knew it was Elliot. He had a key, why couldn't he just let himself in? Because that would be too easy.

The phone began to ring next, but she ignored that, too.

Finally, after what seemed like forever, everything fell silent once again and she faintly heard his footsteps fading, leaving her alone with the familiar darkness as a single tear rolled down her cheek. Leaving her to drown in her thoughts again. Leaving her with nothing but the sound of the rain.


A/N: Okay, so I know that seemed a bit anti E/O, but it wasn't meant to be. I actually wasn't sure if I wanted to put this under both their names or just hers. Anyway, please review, they make my day ;)
