Shake It Off

"Liv... Don't you think we're a bit too old for this?" Rafael asked half-heartedly, thinking about attempting to free himself from the grip she had on his wrist as she pulled him up the stairs, but somehow he couldn't bring himself to ruin this moment for her.

"Are you going to chicken out, Counselor?"

Her tone was teasing, her brown eyes were sparkling, and she was wearing this excited smile that was full of joie de vivre. He grimaced at her while she led him towards the source of the music, guessing that there was no way out – with any other person, he would have left, but he just couldn't do this to Olivia. It was getting louder with every step they took, and the first young people were coming down the stairs, giving them odd looks. Rafael didn't really feel comfortable, and he let his hand slide into Liv's, causing her to throw a brilliant smile over her shoulder.

The beat of the music was pounding in his ears and he could feel the bass vibrating in his stomach as they entered the club; nobody really paid attention to them as they made their way through the crowd towards the bar. He felt like he would go deaf soon and barely noticed how Olivia ordered something to drink for them.

There he was, in a club full of people half his age because Olivia felt the need to shake some stress off. Had he only known what she'd meant with that... hell, he probably would have come along anyway. She had him wrapped around her little finger, something Noah had copied very quickly after they'd gotten together, and he really couldn't say 'No' when she smiled at him.

Downing the very strong drink without really questioning what it was, he allowed her to pull him towards the dancefloor. The last weeks had been hard for the whole SVU, and maybe this was a nice break, a different method to get the memories out of their systems.

At first, he definitely felt a little bit stiff as they started to move to the beat – it had been two decades since he'd really danced the last time, and he'd never really been the party goer... But he could already feel how the alcohol was slowly taking effect, and also he could always rely on his confidence.

Olivia was mouthing along to the song as she moved to the music, her gaze never leaving his, and he felt like it had been a long time since he'd seen her so carefree. Her curls were jumping around her face, her eyes were sparkling, and though she probably wasn't the best dancer in the house, she definitely knew some good moves. At some point, Rafael stopped caring about them not really fitting in at this place or them being mediocre dancers – he felt the stress slowly leaving him, and he slung his arms possessively around Olivia's waist, pulling her closer.

A flirty expression passed over her face and she pressed her body against his as she moved her arms around his neck. He let her lead, copying her rhythm, and he smirked as she kissed him, tasting the raspberry vodka as she gently ran her tongue over his bottom lip.

Maybe this hadn't been such a bad idea – he definitely started enjoying himself, and he felt a lot younger than his true age tonight.

His hearing felt fluffy as they walked home hours later, and his muscles were sore, but he didn't care; Olivia was giggling and grabbed him by his leather jacket more than once to stop and kiss him passionately.

"I was wrong," he mumbled between two kisses as they stumbled into their bedroom, hastily undressing each other and making a lot of noise in the process – luckily, Noah was at Lucia's place.

Olivia made a questioning noise while unbuckling his belt, a mischievous expression twinkling in her brown eyes.

"We're not too old for this," Rafael explained, grinning before allowing her to push him onto the bed and straddle him while their lips crashed again.

OoO

The Monday morning came way too fast for their taste – after sleeping their hangovers off, they'd picked up Noah and Lucia to spend the Saturday in the park, and on Sunday, the three of them had barely left the couch, watching Disney movies and eating pizza.

But still, they both felt wonderfully relaxed as they walked into the courthouse on Monday, ready to face the next trial, the next shocking story. Just as they wanted to enter the courtroom, the DA of Manhattan surprisingly approached them, a grin on his face.

"Counselor, Lieutenant, my daughter swore that she saw you two in her favourite club on Friday. She asked me to tell you this: 'Wow'."

Rafael blinked in confusion, then he started to smirk while Olivia looked after the DA with an open mouth, a smile stealing its way onto her face.

"I knew we were the hottest couple on the dancefloor," Rafael said matter of factly and Olivia started laughing before pressing a kiss to his cheek.
