Ordinary People - John Legend

A/N: This is an E/O I know a rarity, I was going to make it R/O but I really need some more E/O love. Also, I will be working on requests soon. I just had a whole song list and have been writing here and there when inspiration strikes, so if you request a song it might take me a while for a storyline for it.

Olivia closed her eyes, imagining that Elliot Stabler was still in her apartment. He and Kathy had filed for divorce, and of course, he was upset, but Elliot admitted that he was excited about what awaited him. He gave a not so subtle hint at Olivia that he wanted them to be together. She wanted it too. She wanted nothing more for him to lay down beside her. At the same time, even if love was part of the equation, her relationships always crumbled. She sighed, not sure what was going on only that he wanted to "take it slow." Olivia thought that after so many years of being partners, slow was merely figurative.

Olivia had thought back, this wasn't like other relationships. He was her best friend. He had heard of the awful dates; he knew about her mother. She had seen him almost naked, and he had seen her the same way. There would be no awkward first date. Would she want this though, they fight enough at work what about home? Maybe work fights were because they didn't have home fights, but she wasn't sure of anything anymore.

If Elliot would have told her he loved her even when he was married she would have believed him, she has loved him for far too long, and although she had always wanted something more, the love she had for him wasn't a romantic love. It was the love you had for a best friend, and although she always wanted to be more, the love they shared had to be enough, now she wasn't sure what to think of this.

There was a knock on her door that made her jump, she wasn't expecting anyone, but that knock sounded a lot like Elliot's.

Olivia looked through the peephole to find him standing at her door. She opened the door with a smile.

"Hey," Olivia stated.

"Hey, I thought a lot about earlier, and I just wanted to talk some more," Elliott claimed.

Olivia let him come through the door. They sat on the sofa closer than normal arms touching, but nothing was said.

"I know you're nervous about us, and this. I want you to know I've wanted this for a long time, and I don't want you to think this is one-sided. I know we have a lot of differences, but I know we put each other first. I know that we care for each other, and I want this." Elliot stated.

"You're right El, we do have a lot of differences, but we have in common that we want to work on this. I know we've had our moments, and I have to admit I know we've gotten in trouble a time or two because of me." Olivia admitted.

"I don't know what will end up happening Liv, but we need to try. I know we'll fight, I know we'll get up and walk away sometimes. I don't believe in forever anymore, but I want to try this with you." Elliot stated.

Olivia nodded her head, Elliot looked in her eyes, and they kissed, there first real kiss, and she smiled. He couldn't help but run his fingers up and down her sides and smile when she shivered in delight.

She smirked at him. "What happened to take it slow?" Olivia asked.

"This is as slow as I can go," Elliot claimed as he captured her lips, and roamed her body with his hands.
