Song fic about Elliot being with Kathy, and thinking about how much he loves Olivia. Meanwhile, Olivia is with her new husband Nathan and thinking about Elliot and how much she loves him. Confusing, right? GARTH BROOKS ROX, AND ENJOY!!!

--

A few months had passed since Olivia had gotten married and had become Mrs. Brooks, and she delighted in answering her cell,

"Brooks." Instead of,

"Benson."

She liked her old last name, but she just loved saying that. Little did she know that every time she said that, Elliot heart broke again and again. But, Elliot couldn't really honestly think that, because he was getting back with Kathy. Again. He'd finally decided that he loved her, and that if he married Kathy again, which he had yet to do, he and Kathy were just dating, taking it slow; he would be able to get over Olivia, and fall in love with Kathy again. Hopefully. Though in his mind he knew that he would never get over the fact that he had been too slow, that he could be the one Olivia married, but now that was just a fantasy, never to become real.

One night, Elliot was at home with Kathy, lying with her one their bed. He was absently stroking her blonde hair, while she traced patterns on his chest. Little did Elliot know that her mind was onj another man that she had dated before she and Elliot had decided to get back together. Little did she know that his mind was on another woman, one he never had and wished he did. Olivia Benson, since he refused to think of her as Olivia Brooks.

In another's eyes

I'm someone who

Loves her enough

To walk away from you

I'd never cheat

And I would never lie

In another's eyes

Whenever Elliot looks in Kathy's eyes, he could see that she thought of him as a man who would never cheat, and never lie, unless it was to protect her from the enemies he picked up while being a police officer. He also saw a man who loves her enough, just enough to be happy. Little did she know that he only loved her enough to walk away from Olivia, and a big factor had been that she was married. According to Kathy's eyes, Elliot was a perfect man who would never cheat on her, never ever. And she was right on that count, as he was a religious man, adultery was a major sin in his book, and Elliot swore that he would never do that, and he had stuck to it, never wavering. Now, he was kinda wavering, but still, he would never go that far. Never. Not even for Olivia.

In another's eyes

I can do no wrong

And he believes in me

And his faith is strong

I'd never fall

Or even compromise

In another's eyes

Meanwhile, all the way across town Olivia laid in Nathan's arm, floating her fingers over his chest as she snuggled into the crook of his arm. He had his arm draped across her, and was running his hands through her hair. She smiled, thinking that she had finally found the one, the one who would love her and care for her forever, just like their vows had said. She smiled softly into his chest, and he tightened his grip on her. Little did Olivia know that his mind was actually on a woman he was planning on meeting later, a woman he had been dating since before the marriage. But then Olivia looked up, and saw herself in a reflection in his eyes, which were the exact same color of Elliot's. Her mind wandered to her partner, and then saw in Nathan's eyes that he believes in her, and that he knows she can do no wrong. His faith is strong, and she can see that in his eyes. In his eyes she would never fall, or compromise, but those were his lying eyes, and even Olivia couldn't know that. Which was a dang shame.

In another's eyes

I'm afraid that I can't see

This picture perfect portrait

That they paint of me

They don't realize

And I pray they never do

'Cause every time I look

I'm seein' you

In another's eyes

Meanwhile, Kathy began to talk softly to Elliot, describing him the way she sees him, as a macho dad, a stellar officer, and a loving husband. Her description is hard for Elliot to hear, since he just can't see that picture perfect portrait that she was painting of him. She apparently didn't realize that he was thinking of Olivia, and she definitely didn't realize that he loved her. Across town, Nathan started to do the same thing, describing how Olivia was to him. He described her as a beautiful woman, a superhero officer, and a basically wonderfully, caring, loving person. He kept telling her that she was perfect, and all she could think was that she definitely wasn't., as she was with her husband and couldn't stop thinking about her partner. Some would call that love, but Olivia fiercely denied that in her head. But ever time she looks in Nathan's eyes she swears that she's seeing Elliot.

Now that definitely is love.

In another's eyes

Staring back at me

I see a sinking soul

Tryin' desperately

To turn the tide

Before it dies

In another's eyes

Elliot decided to get up and use the bathroom, and Kathy told him to hurry up, as she had to go too. When he got in the bathroom, he leaned up against the wall, wanting to bang his head against the wall over and over, to try and knock some sense into his non-sensible head. Unfortunately he knew that Kathy would hear, and that it wouldn't work, he couldn't just beat Olivia out of his mind and heart, she was there to stay. When he walked back in, he could see his reflection in Kathy's eyes, and he saw a sinking soul, that was helpless, trying in vain to drive another woman out of his mind.
