Prompt #7: Cuddled together by a warm fire, a blanket draped around their shoulders, sipping on hot cocoa
Lucky
~oOo~
To say that Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler were together and inseparable was an understatement. After all, they did live together and spent every waking moment when they weren't at work with each other or the Benson-Stabler family. It was honestly very rare that with a big family to find time for some peace and quiet.
Earlier that day:
"Liv, why don't you let me and Carl take Noah for the night? I know that Eli is spending time with his girlfriend and I also know that Keiran and Seamus would like to hang out with him," Maureen said on the phone to Olivia. "And plus, it has been a little while since I have gotten to see my little brother." It was true that all of the older Stabler siblings had considered Noah to be their little brother.
"I don't know, Maureen. I haven't been home a lot lately due to a case, and I've wanted to—" Olivia started to reply but was cut off by a kiss to her neck from her fiancé, who continued. "Please Liv, I haven't gotten to spend a lot of time with you lately and I have a plan for the two of us for tonight."
"Maureen, what time can you be here?" Olivia asked her.
"I'm actually 30 minutes from where you are right now and can come get him."
The next thing that was heard by all parties involved was Elliot shouting, "Noah, pack a bag! You're staying with your sister!"
After dinner
After having some good Italian food, Elliot and Olivia made a fire in the fireplace and started slow dancing. Since a chill had crept inside the house and a fire had been built in the fireplace, Elliot found a blanket and wrapped it around both of their shoulders and the two of them cuddled together. After a little while, Olivia made mugs of hot chocolate to sip while they were keeping themselves warm from both the fire and their own body heat. After the hot chocolate had been drank, Olivia leaned back against Elliot and said to him, "I'm lucky that I have you. Thank you for convincing me to send our youngest to Maureen's so that we can have the night to ourselves."
After kissing the top of her head, her nose, and her lips, Elliot told her, "I'm the lucky one to be in love with you. Why don't we go finish this night in our bed?"
"I love that idea Stabler." And off to bed they went, cuddled up in each other's arms.
