Previous chapter: "Liv, I'm trying here. I don't know what you want from me."
"I don't want anything from you. I don't expect anything from you."
Olivia went into the file room after walking away from Elliot. She didn't want to deal with him and just wanted to get her work done.
But, Elliot was not letting it go. He walked in right after her and shut the door.
"Elliot, just leave me alone."
"No Olivia. I'm sick of fighting with you and I'm not going to keep doing this. I know I screwed up. I know I've been a jackass lately and I'm sorry. You're my best friend and I shouldn't have treated you like that. Please, can we just stop fighting?" Elliot explained.
"You can't just undo everything you did and said. How can you be my best friend when you say stuff like that? I tell you things because I trust you, not for you to throw it in my face."
"I know I was wrong, Liv. I should've never said that stuff to you. It was rude and completely out of line. You don't deserve that. You deserve so much more, Liv. I really care about you and I'm sorry for everything."
"Obviously you don't care about me. You don't just say that stuff out of anger; you say it because it's true. I don't have anyone that I can talk to and I don't have anyone to go home to. As my "best friend", you shouldn't throw that in my face and think that I'll just forgive you," Olivia said, using air quotes around the word best friend.
"You're right, I don't deserve you're forgiveness, but I would do anything to get it," Elliot replied.
She took a deep breath and turned away. She was sick of fighting with him and she did want to forgive him. Elliot was the most important person in her life and she needed him, in more ways than one. She needed him as her best friend and partner. She wanted him as something more.
She looked back at him. "I'm sorry too. I haven't been the best partner or friend to you either."
He smiled and shook his head. "You have nothing to be sorry for." He went over to her and hugged her. "I missed you."
She laughed and hugged him back. "I missed you too, El."
"Best friends?" He put out his hand.
She continued to laugh and shook his hand. "Best friends."
Olivia and Elliot were working when the rest of squad woke up. They were all at their desks, working on paperwork. Since they were stuck there, they might as well get some work done.
Olivia and Elliot kept glancing at each other and smiling. They were happy the whole morning, ever since they made up.
Fin glanced at both of them. "What's up with you two?"
"Nothing," they both answered.
Fin smiled. "You two finally are getting along?"
"Yup," they both answered again.
"It's about damn time," Munch chirped in.
Elliot and Olivia finished with their paperwork two hours later and decided to work out in the precinct gym.
Olivia was running on the treadmill while Elliot was punching the punching bag.
"Liv, come here. Your turn," Elliot said, pointing to the punching bad.
She smiled and got off the treadmill then walked over to Elliot. He held the bag as she landed some punches into it.
"Damn Liv, I would hate to be the receiver of one of your punches."
"Good thing we made up or you would've found out soon enough," she teased.
He laughed as she continued to punch the bag.
Half an hour later…
They both headed for the showers. Olivia headed for the women's showers and Elliot headed for the men's showers.
Elliot finished first and got dressed then waited for Olivia.
She finished five minutes later and came out fully dressed.
"Nice hair," he teased, seeing that it wasn't brushed.
She smiled and rolled her eyes. "You too. Oh wait, you don't have any," she teased back.
"Oh shut up, Benson."
She got his gray sweater out of her locker and put it on.
"You need to stop stealing my stuff woman. I'm going to start stealing your clothes."
"Oh yeah, because you want to wear my short red dress," Olivia teased. She went out on a date one night and she got dressed at the precinct. When she walked into the squad room, Elliot was in complete awe of her appearance and hid it with joking around with her, asking if he can borrow that short red dress.
He laughed. "Well you did look hot in that dress, so imagine how I would look."
She blushed, but quickly turned away so he wouldn't see her.
"Aw, is Detective Benson blushing?" he asked.
"No, I'm not."
He got up and pinched her cheeks. "Yes, you are."
"Fine, I am now leave me alone."
He smiled and cupped her cheek. All of a sudden, things got really serious as they stared into each other's eyes.
"You're so beautiful," he whispered and leaned in and kissed her slowly.
She held his free hand and kissed him back.
