Prompt #39: Morticia and Gomez — A Halloween costume contest


Halloween Party Hell

~oOo~

Chapter 1 — Secrets of the Squad

It's that time of year again the annual SVU costume contest. Usually, the only participants were members of SVU but this year however SVU is incorporating OC into the contest. So members from the Organized Crime Control Bureau can participate this year. Usually, this day and event is a way of recharging their batteries after working so hard for a year. Nobody knows who will come dressed up as what until the day of the contest. Fin and Rollins have been secretly talking and hoping that the famous dynamic duo of the NYPD will do a couples costume. Rollins thinks they won't, but Fin is a thousand percent sure they will because after all he's worked with Stabler and Benson for years. They are always in sync and over the years have matched clothes on more than one occasion.

Rollins: "Hey Fin, you think Benson and Stabler will show up as themselves?"

Fin: "Nah, they coming in a costume knowing them."

Rollins: "Yeah, but they're not a couple so what could they possibly come in as."

Fin: "My guess is something they will have fun with."

Before Rollins could ask Fin another question, in walks one half of their conversation, and she overheard their entire conversation so she says, "Sergeant and Detective why is my personal life being discussed in the workplace," and they both sport a look of shock on their face as Captain Benson continues. "Just because Detective Stabler and I were partners in a previous life does not mean we are just going to magically show up in a couples costume." and Fin's shock turns into a smirk as he says, "Whatever. You, Liv, just remember I worked with you and El before and y'all so in sync it still scares me." And Rollins snorts in laughter. Liv just walks into her office and places her bag on her desk and reaches in to grab her phone and text Elliot to let him know what just happened.

Olivia: El you'll never believe what just happened

Elliot: you got demoted I'm sorry

Olivia: No you dummy I was walking into work today and Fin and Rollins were sitting there talking about us

Elliot: oh no what was said

Olivia: they were speculating if we were showing up in a couples costume and rollins said no but fin said yes

Elliot: I didn't say anything to anyone I've kept it a secret

Olivia: I'm not saying you did but you know how this is going to boost fin's ego about us "secretly dating"

Elliot: i don't care what people say or think the truth is only for you and I to know mon cher

Olivia: El don't start talking like gomez yet it's enough I have to be around you all night I don't need to hear it now

Elliot: I have to practice if we're going to win

Olivia: Well I'll leave you to it while I actually get work done.

Olivia locks her phone and places it on her desk as she sits in her chair and removes her laptop from her bag and starts it up so she can enter in her paperwork that was due yesterday before McGrath starts breathing down her neck for it. Elliot is sitting at his desk over at OCCB working on entering DD5s as he brushes up on his Italian and learns a bit more French since he's going to need it at the costume event.
