A/N this assume that Brian and Olivia had a relationship but never had sex. And this takes place anywhere from the first to second season

Disclaimer: no los poseo, sí, él soy triste.

Olivia had been dating Brian for about eight months now, they laughed, they talked and had fun just like they had been best friends for their entire life, she thought about this as she stood in line at the super market. She also realized she wasn't feeling what she used to, and that their relationship had turned to that of just friends who kissed occasionally. She was making him dinner tonight; she would talk to him then.

Four hours later, she was ringing the buzzer to Brian's apartment and two minutes after that she was knocking on his door. "Hey," he said vibrantly as he pulled Olivia into a hug and then kissed her quickly.

"Hi," she said nervously.

"You nervous?" he asked.

She walked farther into the apartment and turned to face him. "Brian, you and I are really good friends, but I just, I don't feel chemistry between us any more. But I love you as a friend."

"What are you saying?"

"I want to be your friend, nothing more."

"You bitch, its Elliot isn't it!" he said than slapped her hard on the face.

"No, no!" She was in shock, she had never seen this side of Brian before, and she just stood their taking it as he hit her. After a few seconds she realized what was happening to her and through a right uppercut right to his jaw. He stumbled backwards and fell to the ground. She watched in a defensive pose just in case he came at her again. He didn't. She saw blood start to drip from his mouth and panicked. She got her coat and her purse and just as her hand went on the knob. She felt his hands around her neck and him pushing her back into the apartment.

Elliot sat in his apartment, watching TV. relaxing. Just as he was about to go to sleep he heard his cell phone ringing. Deciding to ignore it he continued walking to his bedroom, when he heard a knock on his door. "Ugh… I'm coming, I'm coming!" he barked.

He opened to door. "Oh my god."

There stood Olivia, his partner, his best friend, Olivia beaten and bloody, out of breath, barely standing and without a coat. "Help me." She whispered falling into him.

He wrapped his arms around her and rocked her back and forth while she cried violently in his arms. He walked her to the couch and sat with her for what felt like hours for Elliot. Finally she calmed down. "Will you let me take you to the hospital?" he whispered.

"Okay" she murmured almost inaudibly. He stood up with her and found she didn't have the energy to walk. He picked her up and carried her to his car.

On the way there Elliot started asking Olivia questions. "Who did this to you?"

She just loudly exhaled and closed her eyes.

"Were you raped?"

"No I got away." She said. "He's still alive, what if he comes after me?" she said looking at Elliot with big eyes.

"Who is he Liv?" he said locking eyes with her momentarily before looking to the road again.

She just looked away shaking her head. They drove the rest of the way in silence both thinking about completely different things.

Elliot sat in suspense thinking of what to do next. Should he call someone, Cragen, Cassidy, as he continued thinking he realized she doesn't have anyone else. Then something hit him. When she was attacked why did she come to him, why not go to Brian Cassidy. He should be just as equipped to deal with the situation as himself. He would have to ask her. Just then a doctor approached him. "Mr. Stabler?" the man kindly asked.

"Yes?" he jumped up startling the doctor.

"We finished the examination, Detective Benson is going to be okay, she suffered two hairline fractures in her right leg and when she fell she broke her nose in addition to catching many blows to the face and sternum and thighs, and her rotator cuff was torn, we ask that someone stay with her for a while to ensure she's okay."

"Got it, but wait, did you, say she fell?" Elliot looked at the doctor dumfounded.

"Yes, she told me she fell down a flight of stairs" he said as he looked at his clipboard, and then looked back at Elliot, "by the way she had extensive bruising around her neck, which can't be explained by the fall."

"Okay, umm… I'll talk to her about it." Elliot said slowly completely worried about her now, "don't call the police yet. I'm a detective, I'll talk to my squad." He said brandishing his badge. "Can I speak to her?"

The doctor nodded and walked towards her room. Elliot followed him.

When Elliot walked into the room Olivia was sleeping. Elliot sat in a chair next to her and held her hand. He wanted to cry himself as he looked at Olivia's face, the normally strong and tough cop sat before him with a torn and bruised face and neck and chest.

As he sat staring at Olivia's face he couldn't help but think to himself that even with the scratches and bumps she still looked beautiful and dare he say, sexy? He chided himself for thinking such thoughts tried not to think those thoughts although it was becoming increasingly harder to. As he noticed the all the defensive bruising on her hands, he felt Olivia squeezing his hand. He looked up and saw her. She looked to be in so much pain. He wished he could take it all away from her.

He smiled and looked into her eyes "how you feeling?"

She looked into his eyes getting lost in them before responding, "Better, it only hurts when I move, or think, or breathe, or well, anything else for that matter." She said with a faint smile.

Elliot chuckled, how she kept her blunt sense of humor was beyond him. "The doctor wants someone to stay with you for a while, and I told them I would, is that okay with you."

"Sure," she said appreciatively.

"Good, I thought maybe you would want to stay with Brian." He said watching her reaction to see he was correct, praying that he wasn't.

He saw her swallow uncomfortably and look away from him. He shook his head in disappointment and clenched his jaw in hatred for Brian.

He hooked her chin with his forefinger and turned her to face him.

She looked into his soft blue eyes with her big brown eyes and did the only thing she could, she broke down in tears. He just held her in a hug as gently as he could.

After she calmed down Elliot decided to try and pry some information out of her. "What ticked him off?" he gently prodded.

"I was breaking up with him, I said I just wanted to be friends!" she told him almost as if she were defending herself.

"Its okay, it's okay, it's not your fault." He told her trying to hold back tears of his own.

"Any way, he, he told me I was cheating on him with, um, someone else. And then he slapped me. I defended myself and then tried to get out but he got me." She took a deep breath then continued, "he through me on the ground and then, then he tried to rape me."

"Why did he try to rape you?"

"He went off yelling about how he held out for a year for nothing" choked out.

Elliot furrowed his brows.

"Elliot, I'm a, Elliot, I'm a virgin," she whispered looking down wanting to die out of embarrassment.

"Huh."

Brian Cassidy sat in his apartment with ice on about fifteen different parts of his body, when he heard a knock. He answered to door to a very pissed off looking Elliot.

"Elliot." Brian said nervously.

Elliot said nothing; instead he pushed himself through the door and slammed it shut with his foot. When he left his knuckles were dripping with blood and he felt as if a great weight had been lifted off of his shoulders.

Elliot carried Olivia into the apartment wanting her to be on crutches as little as possible. He sat her on the couch and set her stuff on the ground next to it.

"I can walk myself Elliot." Olivia said irritated.

"You seem to forget that I'm bigger than you and I can carry you whenever and whenever I want." Elliot teased her as he walked into the kitchen.

"Screw you," Olivia said as she bit back a laugh of her own.

"How are you feeling?" Elliot said walking back to her with a cup of tea.

"Better, my face feels less swollen than it did two days ago." She smiled.

"Good. Listen, do you want to press charges." Elliot said turning the conversation serious.

"Yeah, and officially end my career?" She said with great disdain.

"His career would be over."

"I work in special victims unit, how would it look if I was almost raped and it came out I was a virgin!"

"Okay, look, want pizza?" Elliot smiled trying to lighten the mood.

Seven hours, two pizzas' and one gallon of Ben and Jerry's later, Olivia and Elliot sat talking on the couch. "I still say Wheat thins are better than Triscits!" Olivia said laughing.

"Your out of your mind, you can put cheese of tricots!" Elliot responded equally as amused.

"I think I've reached an all new low when I'm arguing with my partner about crackers!" she said cracking up, "good night."

She said rising to retire to her bedroom. She took hold of her crutches and walked into her room. Elliot shook his head amused, and went to sleep.

The week went on like this, Elliot going to work; Olivia staying home bored out of her mind, and then Elliot came home and took her out to a movie, or a restaurant. The night before Olivia was supposed to return to work to be on desk duty (or ass duty as she called it) she made Elliot take her out again. She was no longer on crutches and her nose was almost healed. While she was waiting for Elliot to finish getting ready she heard a knock on the door. When she answered it was none other than brain Cassidy. "Hey, your boyfriend paid me a visit a while ago and I just got out of the hospital now and figured I'd pay you a visit." He said with a tone that scared Olivia, then he grabbed her shirt collar and brought her face close to his, just when he opened his mouth to say something he saw Elliot walking into the living room from the kitchen, and he immediately let go of Olivia.

Elliot saw Brian, and he walked up to him quickly. "Olivia will you step back for a moment?" he asked kindly never taking his eyes off of Brian's. When she did he stepped in her place and continued, "Let me just make myself clear. If you ever lay your hands on my partner again I promise I will kill you, got it?" Elliot said through clenched teeth.

Brian looked past Elliot at Olivia in the apartment, "I knew it, the bitch was screwing you!" he yelled.

"What!"

"Its okay, the frigid bitch was probably only good for a couple of blow jobs anyway."

At this Elliot punched Brian with so much force it knocked him out. He just closed the door and locked it figuring when Brian woke up he would walk away on his own.

Then Elliot turned to see Olivia sitting up crying her eyes out. He just sat there next to her and hugged her for several minutes. "Do you still want to go out?" Elliot gently asked.

"Yeah, I don't want him ruining my night." Olivia stopped crying.

"Okay, ready?" when she nodded he responded, "lets go."

They spent the night at a restaurant and then walked in the park while talking and laughing. They went back to Elliot's place this time just in case Brian was still there.

They sat on the couch and watched TV. By one a.m. they found that there was absolutely nothing on to watch. They both decided to go to sleep. Elliot being the gentlemen he is decided that if Olivia slept on his couch she would feel even worse, so he gave her his bed.

Elliot was just getting to sleep when he heard loud sobs coming from his' room. When he ran in he saw Olivia, still asleep but weeping uncontrollably. He walked up to her and shook her gently. When she didn't wake he called her name softly into existence, "Liv?"

Olivia felt a hand on her shoulder and her name being called. She opened her eyes to see two concerned blue ones looking right back at her. "Hey, Livvy, what's wrong."

"Just a bad dream," she mumbled.

He just held her for about an hour, saying soothing words to her, when he heard a small voice say, "I'm really thirsty."

"Okay, let's get you some water." Elliot got up and got her some water. She followed him to the kitchen and took the water he offered her. They walked back to the middle of the living room and Olivia set down her glass of water. She slowly walked up to Elliot and rested her head on his chest while wrapping her arms around his waist. He just wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head.

While Elliot was hugging Olivia he couldn't help but think to himself that he liked the smell of her shampoo. He once again scolded himself mentally for thinking that. Olivia looked up at him with big brown unsure eyes. They just stared, lost into each others eyes for several seconds. Then just then Elliot leaned in and softly kissed Olivia on the forehead, then each cheek then just very softly and quickly on the mouth.

They looked at each other in shock neither of them realizing what just happened, or rather why for that matter. Elliot was first to speak, "oh, my god, I'm so sorry; I'm completely taking advantage of you."

He started to unwrap his arms from around her when Olivia put her hands on Elliot's forearms and softly whispered "no," while never taking her eyes off of him.

Elliot slowly leaned in to kiss her and touched his lips softly to hers. Olivia slowly brought her arms from his forearms to his chest over his shoulders and to the sides of his face. Elliot was the first to break the kiss; once again they just stared at one another in awe. The both leaned in again, this time Elliot pried open her mouth using his tongue. Olivia softly stroked his tongue with hers causing Elliot to groan as he rubbed his hands up and down her sides. They slowly separated and stared at one another occasionally giving short kisses to each other. "Are you okay?" Elliot smiled.

"Yeah,"

"Do you want to stay the night with me?" Elliot asked coolly but inside praying to god she says yes.

"Listen, I'm really not ready for that yet el, I ju," she was quieted with a finger to her lips and a smiling Elliot softly shaking his head. "No, just stay with me, we don't have to do anything."

"That's fine, but I really don't have anything to wear," she smiled looking down at herself.

"You can borrow something of mine", he said as he grazed his lips against hers before engaging her completely.

Elliot took her hand and led her to his bedroom where they changed and then climbed into Elliot's bed. Olivia rested her head of Elliot bare chest and sighed, "Eventful evening." She joked. She could feel the vibrations of Elliot chuckling.

"Hey Elliot?" she said looking him in the eye, "thanks."

"For what?"

"everything." She said as she softly leaned up and kissed him.
