So I'm going to warn you guys that this chapter is a quite a bit longer than most of my chapters. Only for a couple reasons, though. One would be I wanted to make sure that you guys got everything, but i couldn't figure out how to do that without having a cliff hanger. Second, it's their prom so it had to be long. And there is something in here I didn't plan on doing when I wrote the last chapter, but it kind of just popped up in my brain.
It was the day she had been looking forward to all year, next to graduation of course. For Olivia Benson, nervous couldn't even begin to surprise her.
She sat ramrod straight in the bathroom chair while Elliot's sisters did her hair. Olivia was trying her best to concentrate on the conversation, but it wasn't working. 'What if he doesn't like my hair?' Olivia thought to knew this wasn't anything special, but at the same time was. It was the prom she would be remembered by. Her last prom. Her senior prom.
"There; all done. Are you ready to go?" Melissa asked, straightening Olivia's dress out.
Slapping Melissa's hand away lightly she spoke, "Yes I am. These curls just might be a bit too curly though." Before Melissa or Emily, who had just turned around from putting make-up away, could do anything, Olivia shook her head. The curls fell loosely onto her shoulders in auburn waves.
"Well, why did we take forever to do that?" Emily chuckled before turning back to finish putting make-up away.
Olivia playfully stuck her tongue out, "That is a good question. I told you not to, but you did not listen to me and you did it anyways."
Melissa shook her hide with a smile. "Whatever, doesn't matter. Let's just go. Elliot and Daniel are waiting for us, plus you know mom is going to want to take a million pictures of us before we go," Melissa said with an eye roll.
Olivia and Melissa grabbed each other's hands and walked down the stairs. Over the years Olivia and Elliot's siblings had become close, almost as if they were siblings themselves. To Melissa, Greg, and Emily the brunette was like an older sister. To Pat and Evan she was another little sister to protect. Of course to Elliot, Olivia was his girlfriend. His love. His soulmate.
Downstairs Elliot and Daniel sat on the couch talking, Joe leaning against the railing as he waited for Melissa and Olivia to come downstairs. He, of course, treated Olivia like a daughter of his own. Even though Elliot was his son, he felt he was closer to Olivia for some reason.
Just before they were to die or boredom and anticipation, Olivia and Melissa appeared on the stairs. Both Elliot and Daniel stood up in awe.
"Wow… you… you look gorgeous, Liv," Elliot stuttered.
"So do you, Melissa," Daniel said, staring at Melissa with wide eyes. They had been dating for almost a year and just like Elliot, he would never get used to the way his girlfriend looked.
"Picture time!" Bernie squealed as the two girls walked down the last two steps. "Alright, Elliot and Olivia over here. I'll start with the oldest," Bernie chirped happily. Melissa rolled her eyes with a smile.
After about 10 minutes of taking pictures of Elliot and Olivia, Bernie switched over to Daniel and Melissa. Elliot and Olivia walked over to the couch and sat down.
"You look amazing, Liv, like always," Elliot said before kissing the crown of Olivia's head. Olivia blushed and leaned up, kissing Elliot on the cheek. Relishing the feel of her soft lips on his skin, Elliot leaned down to her ear. "I have a surprise waiting for you outside." Elliot whispered in Olivia's ear.
"You know I hate surprises," Olivia groaned, despite the hot breath on her skin causing goosebumps to form.
Elliot chuckled, "Come on, Mom. I think we are done with pictures. If we don't leave now we are going to be late." He then noticed something missing, or rather someone. "Wait, where are Greg and what's her name?"
"He went to pick her up at her house," Melissa said, picking her dress up and walking towards the door where Olivia and Elliot had been waiting.
Elliot put his hands over Olivia's eyes, while Daniel did the same to Melissa. Both were careful not to mess up the make-up, knowing that their girls had taken hours fixing it up.
"Seriously?" Olivia and Melissa grumbled simultaneously.
Chuckling, the men led their girlfriends outside. Guiding the way to the sidewalk, Daniel and Elliot looked at each other, nodded, and removed their hands. Showing the surprise they had waiting.
"Surprise," Elliot announced with the signature Stabler-smirk. Both girls gasped looking at the white Lincoln limousine sitting in the road.
"We pooled our money together and got this, so you both could have an awesome prom," Daniel said with a shy smile.
After a few moments of stunned silence the two girls squealed and hugged each other. The boys watching smirked, hi fiving.
Elliot opened the door, allowing Olivia and Melissa to enter the giant white vehicle. After they were in, Daniel and Elliot entered. The car ride consisted of sweet kisses and small talk between both couples.
Arriving at the school, Elliot exited and helped Olivia out, the brunette giving him a radiant smile. They walked, hand in hand, into the prom, every pair of eyes in the gym was on them. Most likely because Elliot was the captain of the football team and Olivia was the captain of the soccer team, together without a doubt the most popular couple in the school. It seemed though that every male in the room was jealous of Elliot. On the other side of the coin, every female in the room was jealous of Olivia, especially one; one who planned to level the playing field tonight.
Elliot and Olivia had the most fun out of everyone there. Many times it was almost like no one else existed as they danced the night away. Time flew by quickly and soon the time came where prom king and queen would be announced. Naturally, Elliot and Olivia were nominated, considered by the majority to be the frontrunners.
Casey, loving to be in the center of attention, volunteered to be the announcer at the event. "Hi everybody! Are you guys ready to hear the winners of the election for prom king and queen?" Casey asked, waiting for the crowd to get hyped. Everyone hollered and cheered. "Alright, well you all know the nominees, so your prom king is," Casey stopped to open the envelope, "Your Prom king is Elliot Stabler! No big shocked there." Casey winked as Elliot came up onto the stage.
Kathy, who had been watching him all night, was preparing herself to walk onto the stage and be his queen. She had been cultivating support for weeks for just this moment.
"Alright, now the moment you have been waiting for," Casey said, looking back down at the paper that was inside the envelope and unfolded the bottom part of it. "Your queen, Elliot Stabler, is Olivia Benson," Casey told him with a giant grin on her face.
Olivia, jaw dropped in shock, at the urges of those around her, she headed slowly onto the stage. She quickly curved her lips a shy smile, knowing she had been nominated but not thinking that she would actually win. She figured Kathy would.
Casey placed the crown onto Olivia's head, "Alright, now for the king and…" Casey stopped talking as a blonde walked up onto the stage with anger in her eyes.
"This had to be rigged!" Kathy practically screamed. "There is no way in hell she won. I'm the one who deserves to win! The most beautiful girl here deserves to win and that is not her!" Kathy yelled, storming over to Olivia and pulling the crown off of her head.
"Kathy if you want it, you can have it," Olivia said nonchalantly. Inside she was just as angry at Kathy, but experience told her it would serve her better to act detached than showcase her rage. "It isn't that big of a deal. It's a piece of plastic."
While some in the crowd wanted to bitchslap Kathy off the stage, others agreeing Olivia shouldn't have won, most watched eagerly. They were loving the Jerry Springer action on the stage.
Kathy glared at Olivia; if looks could kill then Olivia would have been obliterated. "That is not all I want." She jammed her finger into the brunette's chest. "You don't deserve him you little slut. He deserves someone who is pretty, like me; not some chick who will screw everything that moves." Olivia was about to speak when Kathy began again, "I deserve someone like Elliot. And I always get what I want, so I'm going to take what was rightfully mine!"
Before anyone could reply or do anything, Kathy's lips were on Elliot's. This being the last possible scenario he expected, Elliot was too stunned to do anything at first. Out of the corner of his eye he spotted Olivia race off the stage and out of the gym. Following close behind her was Dean Porter, a boy who had had a crush on Olivia ever since he got into high school.
Once he finally realized what was happening he pushed Kathy away, wiping his lips on his sleeves. Elliot needed to get to Olivia, but first he had to stop this once and for all.
"What in the name of Christ is wrong with you Kathy? Don't do that ever again! Olivia is my girlfriend! If anything I'm the one who doesn't deserve her. She deserves so much better, but has settled for me. Why can't you just be nice, Kathy? Why can't you just get the fact that I don't and never will like you! Olivia Benson is it for me!" Elliot bellowed.
The blonde took a step back, his tone hurting as if a punch to the stomach. "Why would you settle for her Elliot? You could have someone like me!" Kathy cried, stepping closer to Elliot.
"Because I love her. Because she's the one person who understands me, who tries to be nice to everyone no matter what they do to her. She tries to help people when they need it no matter what, so why do you want to ruin her so bad? Why do you hate her so bad?" Elliot asked.
Anger gone, all that was left was sadness. Kathy hung her head in her hands, not knowing what to say.
"You should try to be more like her Kathy," he finally said, too much of a gentleman to scream at a woman in tears. Done, he hurried off the stage after his love.
Olivia had run out of the gym as soon as she saw Kathy kiss Elliot, fists clenched in repressed anger. She knew he never would cheat, but it didn't look like he was trying too hard to stop the kiss.
"Olivia!" a male voice called after her as she ran past the doors and onto the grass outside the school. Olivia didn't stop running until she got to a bench that was hidden by bushes, just east of the football field, turning around only when she sat down.
"Dean." 'What's he doing here?' "Umm Hi. I am fine. You need to go enjoy your prom with your prom date. Don't worry about me," Olivia said, trying to fake a smile.
Dean walked up to her and pulled her into a hug. "You're not fine. As long as I have known you and talked to you, I at least know that you are not fine right now," Dean replied pulling her back. 'Stabler doesn't deserve her,' he thought. The arrogant jock could have Kathy Malone; Dean Porter would treat Olivia the way she deserved.
The brunette was confused. "Dean, uh, I'm not sure how you know that seeing we barely talk but thank you. Shouldn't you be with your date though?" Olivia asked.
"Nope. I'd rather be helping a friend then watching Kathy and Elliot bicker like idiots. Besides if my date cares, she will have to get over it. My friend needs help, and I'm going to help her," Dean replied in a chivalrous tone, pulling Olivia into another hug. Olivia lightly hugged him back, trying not to let any tears fall. "So, wanna talk about it?" Dean asked. Olivia replied with a shrug. "Aww come on, Olivia." Dean prodded.
She shook her head. "I just want to go home."
Before Olivia could even stand up from sitting on bench however, a loud voice rang across the grass. "Liv! I'm so sorry baby! I don't know why she did that! I didn't mean for it to happen, you gotta believe me," Elliot cried, pulling her into a hug.
Olivia rolled her eyes, "El." He kept babbling. "El," she said a bit louder, yet he still continued to babble. "Elliot," Olivia said a little bit louder yet again. "ELLIOT!" Elliot finally stopped talking and looked at her.
Olivia smiled at him, thinking he looked cute all confused and paranoid. "El, baby, I believe you okay. I'll admit at first, I thought you liked it, but I know you. Why did she flip out like that?"
Elliot shrugged, "She claims you stole what was rightfully hers. Acting like I'm some kind of merchandise. And trust me, I didn't like any of that at all. I honestly think I need to gargle some bleach or drain cleaner. Hell, sticking one of your shinguards in my mouth after a game would be better than kissing her."
Olivia giggled, "Well I think I agree with you on that one, and she must be a really bad kisser if you would rather do that." She grinned at him. "Ready to go back in and enjoy the rest of our prom El?"
"Yes, more than ready. Thanks for helping her, Dean," Elliot said with a nod before leading her back into the dance.
"Yeah, no problem" Dean said with a sigh and shake off the head. At least he tried, and there still was his date.
Olivia and Elliot walked back into the school hand in hand. The whole crowd in the gym cheered their arrival, Kathy nowhere in sight. Olivia let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding, feeling a reassuring squeeze from Elliot. 'I am one lucky girl.' As the couple sat down at a table, Casey approached Olivia.
"Olivia, here. This is yours. I'm so sorry," Casey gushed, handing the crown to Olivia and pulling her into a hug.
"Thanks Case. And it's fine. It's not like it is your fault, and what's life without a little drama?" Both laughed. "We still on for after?" Olivia asked with a bright smile.
The redhead nodded. "Of course! Did you see Alex? She looks gorgeous!" Casey squealed.
Olivia chuckled, "Yes. She always does. And you do to! No guy in here can take their eyes off of you!"
"Same for you, Benson." Elliot said giving her a wink, "Oh Case. Would it be a problem if I borrowed the microphone for a few?"
Casey shook her head, "Nah, as long as you don't go up there and start cussing everyone's brains out!"
"Do it!" yelled a voice in the crowd. "It would be awesome!" Sure enough it was John Munch, a grin on his face. Elliot flipped him the bird at the same time Alex Cabot whacked him on the back of the head. He was a character all right.
"Don't worry about that. Come on Liv, I have yet another surprise for you." Pulling Olivia up out of the chair she had been sitting in, Elliot walked over to Fin and whispered something into his friend's ear. Fin jogged out of the gym while Elliot grabbed the microphone and pulled Olivia up onto the stage.
"El, what are you doing?" Olivia asked in a harsh whisper.
Elliot kissed her on the forehead. "Hi, everybody! Sorry about everything earlier, I honestly don't know why that happened. The equivalent of that on the football field is why we wear cups." The crowd cheered and hooted. "But I digress, for tonight I have a big surprise for my girlfriend."
"Everybody is here now, man!" Fin yelled as he walked in with all of Elliot's family.
Elliot chuckled, "Thanks, Fin."
Olivia's eyes widened. "Elliot, what are they doing here? Tell me what's going on."
"Alright my girlfriend is getting a bit antsy, so here goes." He turned to face her. "Liv, I can't even begin thinking about living a life without you. It hurts my brain too much, even though I don't have that big of a brain," Elliot said with a wink, laughs and an "Ain't that the truth!" coming from the crowd.
"If the last two years I've known you I figured out that you're the only girl for me. It's like I was made to be yours. I don't deserve you, you deserve so much better than me. My heart is and always will be yours. I love you for so many reasons, the most important being that you join me in my weirdness." The crowd chuckled. "I want you today, tomorrow, next week, and for the rest of my life. And now that I'm saying this all out loud I realize how cheesy it is, but I have one important question for you." Elliot reached over and wiped the tears that had begun falling when he started. Olivia's mouth dropped when he dropped onto one knee and looked up at her. "Olivia Benson, will you marry me?"
Her hands cupped her mouth, for once at a complete loss of words. Slowly though a massive smile formed on her face. "I loved how cheesy it was, El." She nodded her head. "Yes, a million times yes, forever yes. YES!" Olivia cupped Elliot's face in her hands and pulled lightly, beckoning him to rise to his feet. Once he was standing up, she got on her toes and kissed him. Everyone cheered, hooted, and hollered, but they didn't notice as they pulled apart. They were lost in each other.
"I'm so glad you said yes." Elliot said kissing her again with the Stabler smirk.
"Did you really think I wouldn't?" Olivia asked smirking back.
Olivia and Elliot walked off the stage with a big smiles on their faces. They continued on with their prom, receiving congratulations, and a couple glares from Kathy once she came back from who knows where.
The night finally over, Olivia and Elliot made their way to Munch's beach house. Finding everyone else inside, eating, drinking, and being merry, the couple decided to take a stroll on the sand and enjoy the solitude. The beach at the house was private, so the house was the only one for miles in each direction.
"So, did you expect that tonight, Liv?" Elliot asked, looking at her with a loving glance.
Olivia shook her head, "When we first went on stage, I figured you were going to try and have them re-crown me. Then I figured that if that was the case I could just beat your ass once we got off," Olivia replied, giving him a wink.
"You're adorable, Liv," Elliot said sitting down on the cool sand. Having changed out of their uncomfortable prom attire, Olivia was now wearing a white sundress, while Elliot sported a pair of khaki shorts and a white polo.
"Sit down by me," Elliot husked, patting the spot of sand next to him.
Olivia sat down and rested her head on his shoulder. "I had a wonderful time tonight, El."
"Me too, Mrs. Stabler," Elliot said with a twinkle in his eye, loving how that felt on his lips. It wasn't official yet but what was the harm?
The words ignited something in Olivia. Before Elliot could realize she had pulled down his head and had crashed their lips together. The kiss began to deepen, both unable to control themselves as clothes began to fly off. Not caring where they landed, Elliot slowly reached around and unclasped her bra. Slowly he began to inch it off of her body. Allowing his tongue to explore her mouth while hers did the same, Elliot began kneading her breast.
"Oh, El," Olivia moaned. Her head dropped back in pleasure.
"Liv you are so perfect. You have to believe me when I say it," Elliot whispered, pulling away and looking at her. He ran his hands through her hair as he began taking her panties off, chuckling as she determinedly assisted. His laughs turned to concern however. "Liv, are you ready to take this step? I don't want to force you."
She shook her head. "El, I have waited for this for a long time. I'm ready and happy about it," Olivia told him, bringing his face to hers and kissing him.
Not having to be told twice, Elliot nodded and readied himself at her entrance. Slowly he pushed into her and watched her eyes close in pleasure. Linking their hands above her head Elliot started a slow thrust. "Liv, you feel so good," Elliot groaned in her ears.
"Sa… sa… same, El." Olivia moaned, "El... Faster."
Elliot listened to her command, speeding up his paste Elliot let out a groan. "Liv, cum. You have to cum. I want to watch you." He husked into her ear.
As if following his command, Olivia began to clench around him. "Oh my god, Elliot." Olivia screamed and began to shake.
"Oh my god!" Elliot groaned, his own release being triggered by hers. Elliot dropped to the side of her in a sweaty mass, pulling her on top of him.. "Liv, that was amazing."
"I was there, I know." Olivia joked, looking down towards the water and watching the little waves roll in. "I love you, El. Forever," Olivia cooed, glancing back up into his eyes.
"I love you too, Liv. And now I get to call you my fiancé," Elliot replied, kissing her once more.
So I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I also hope that you guys were okay with the fact that it was longer than most of my chapters. Also a review would be lovely!
So I am hoping that I will be able to get a bit more writing in on my trip to Indiana. Its going to be a driving trip with my cousin, so I think it should be fun! Plus we will probably have a lot of down time in the hotel, so more time for writing!
I anted to thank Cinderella1268 for her lovely review. She has made me try to mend the relationship with my mom. So far it's okay, and I am hoping it will at least stay that way.
So I had a friend help me write the end of this. She said she was willing to do it, and i just don't think I could completely write smut. So with her help we made it short and simple. She doesn't have a fanfic account, but she does read my stories, so thank you! You're the best! So I must give credit to her even though she didn't want me to! :P
Next Chapter: Class trip, a surprise, and graduation!
