Just a short random piece that I dreamt. I hope you enjoy it.
Always Have and Always Will
Who the fuck does he think he is. Who is he to press me about my past when he disappeared for ten goddamn years. "What do you want from me Elliot? One moment you are pulling me in, creating this world where we seem to be moving in the same orbit, the next you are pushing me away. I can't keep up with this pushing and pulling," rising from my seat abruptly, I push him against his chest. "What do you want?" I sigh as I turn away from him to lean against the one-way glass of the interrogation room.
Well, this is going fucking fantastic isn't it. Arguing, just like we always do. Why do I even put up with his crap anymore. Who am I kidding? I know why. At this point I'm dure everyone knows why. Because I am a damn fool who is in love with the stubborn bas-
"You Liv! I just want you!" Elliot's exclamation interrupts my train of thought. I whip around to face him. Did he just –
This time it wasn't his words that interrupted my thoughts. He grabs me by the hand and pulls me into him. Before I can say anything to protest, he kisses me. And oh, my Lord this is better than my imagination. Twenty plus years of dreaming, wandering what it would be like and it is feels better than anything my brain could ever conjure up. He wraps his arms around my back while my hands find themselves on his neck, pulling him impossibly closer. When we both find ourselves in desperate need of oxygen, way to soon for my liking, we separate just barely. He leans his forehead against my own, blue eyes searching brown. "You Liv," he repeats in a whisper. "I want you, just like I always have. It has always been you. I love you Olivia Benson, I am in love with you and have been for longer than I care to remember."
I want to be angry at him, I want to hit and scream and shout about how unfair it is. But I suddenly realize, I don't care. The man I love loves me. There is only one thing to say.
"I love you too El, always have, always will," I say as I pull him in for a gentle kiss. When I pull back, I see the megawatt smile on his face, and to absolutely no-one's surprise, it matches the one on mine.
"We should probably go out there, your squad will be wondering where you are Captain," he has a point unfortunately. We have a job to do and a case to wrap up. It was a tricky one that needed both OOCB and SVU to work together to find the monster who is raping mothers, before kidnapping their young daughters.
"You love calling me Captain, don't you?" "Yeah, I do. Because no one deserves it more than you, you are amazing Liv. If I have to tell you that for the rest of our lives I will." I look down at his chest with a slight blush covering my cheeks. He gently lifts my head by my chin, looking down at me lovingly he gives me a soft warm kiss.
With that he steps back, interlocks our fingers and leads me from the interrogation room into my squad room which has been acting as a base throughout this case. We are surrounded my officers and my squad when we walk out. One of the young mothers bring attention to our hands, which we hadn't thought to drop when we walked out.
"I thought you said there wasn't anything going on between you?" Elliot goes to drop my hand, scared of me being embarrassed, but I just hold on tighter. Now that I have him, I am never letting him go. I see Fin's smirk from the corner of my eye and I have to shoot him a look which plainly says say something and you will have weekend duty for a year. It must work because he keeps his mouth shut, but the smirk grows.
"Up until three minutes ago, there wasn't," I reply. This time its El's turn to blush. He pulls me closer to him and kisses me on the forehead. I let out a content sigh. This is what I have been waiting for my whole life, to be with someone I love whole heartedly, and loves me more than life itself. If this is the how good it starts, then I can't wait to see the rest of our lives.
The End
