Squad Room

1:52am

"Elliot-" Olivia was confused, and that was all she could come up with to say. She searched his dark blue eyes for an answer but he was just as suprised as she was and he was seconds away from slapping himself. Olivia was going to question his offer when he cut her off.

"Look Liv, I'll see you tomorrow okay?" and with he walked out of the station leaving Olivia alone with her thoughts

Olivia's Apartment (Olivia POV)

3:31 am

Tonight, well morning, I can't sleep. The thoughts of what Elliot said dwell in my head. So Kathy kicked him out. Or maybe that wasn't it. Either way it worries me because in the many years we have been partners we've shared everything, well everything we could without getting romantic. I'm often told I'm beautiful, smart, charming.(A/N Sorry if this makes her sound vain) None of which I believed. Sure, men fall for me often, and sure most male victims, suspects, and even other officers that I've encountered in my time in the NYPD made some sort of sly comment or look about my appearance that make it quite apparent what they wanted. Sometimes it even gets physical. But they just know me from the outside, and the only person I feel who really knows what's inside of me is Elliot and for what I know he's still married.

I have to realize Elliot won't always be there to push some man who showed any signs he was virtually undressing me in his mind against the nearest wall and threaten to arrest him for sexual assault of a female police officer. But the thought of Elliot not being there scares me, that's why I learned not to push things with him. A lot of stuff pushes him off the edge and the last things I want is one of us to get a different partner or to even get fired.

I realize he is one of the best friends I've ever had and how open I could be with him about my past and I would die inside if anything ever happened to him. I wish over anything thing that they could for once be more then just friends.

I've decided to let him bring it up when he is good and ready.

Erik Carson's Apartment (Where Elliots Staying (Elliot POV))

3:31 am

I turn over and mutter "Fuck" for about the fifth time tonight before I let my thoughts turn to Olivia.

How could I let that slip! But for all I know that could be I good thing. Maybe Liv will figure it out and realize what happened so I won't have to tell her. But that was defiantly not how I wanted her to find out. Is it for the best though? The divorce I mean. For the first time in more then 15 years I'll get to explore the dating world. But is that what I want? No. I know what I want and all I need to do now is figure out how to get it.

SVU Squad Room

9:08 am

Elliot came bursting in the bullpen, eight minutes late for work. When he arrived he saw Olivia, feet up on the desk laughing.

"Don't waste much time do you?" she said which made Elliot grin, glad she didn't bring up what happened earlier that morning. He went over to the lockers to put his coat away and get out his gun. He paused when he saw a sticky note on this locker that read:

Elliot-
Please tell me what's going on,
This is a request not a command.

10 o'clock
The usual place

Much Love,
Liv

Elliot couldn't help but smile. She knew him to well to know he wouldn't not come. Then he found his eyes staring at the bottom "Much Love" had she meant it like that, or in a friendly way? He decided not to think about it and he shoved the note in this pocket and arrived in the squad room just as a new case was being presented. He sighed and got ready for the long day ahead.

Olivia's Car

10:28 am

Olivia and Elliot were on their way to check out the crime scene for their latest rape case involving a 14 year old girl.

Elliot looked over to Olivia as she was changing the radio the radio to some John Mayer song he's heard Liz playing various times. He never knew Olivia was into this kind of music. Then he frowned at the thought of his daughter. He hadn't seen his kids in over a month.

Olivia noticed the pained look on his face and began to pity him. If he wasn't living at home he probley isn't seeing his kids. She was sure that Kathy wouldn't not let him see them. But people suprise you sometimes she concluded. He must not be used to being alone she thought.

Alone.

She hated that word, for she had been it most of her life.
