Liv hasn't seen Barba in weeks since he left the DA's offices. She was sitting here with Fin, Rollins, Carisi, and Stone had disappeared , after dropping off their drinks.
"Where did Stone go?" Liv asked when she realized he was gone.
"I don't know." Carisi said, downing his drink, looking around.
"What the fuck..." Fin said.
Liv, Amanda and Carisi looked in the same direction as Fin. Stone had sat beside Rafael, Raf was smiling at Peter, his arm across Peter's chair.
"When did that happen?" Liv asked.
"You wouldn't think of those two." Rollins said, looking at Carisi.
"You okay Carisi?" Liv asked, knowing Raf had broken up with him when his trial started.
Carisi got up and walked out, catching Raf's eye. Peter saw Carisi look at Raf as he walked past them, Raf watching him too.
"Think he's still upset?" Raf asked, taking a drink, looking at his boyfriend.
"If he is, he doesn't show it at work." Peter smiled.
"Can we go back to your place?" Raf asked when he saw the rest of SVU.
Peter saw this.
"You can't run from them forever, Rafa."
"I know, let's get out of here." Raf said, pressing a kiss to Peter's lips.
They got up, Raf placing a 100 dollar bill, telling the bartender to put it on the squad tab. They went home without saying or waving at the SVU squad. Olivia, Rollins, and Fin watched as Carisi walked out of the bar, seeing how Carisi looked at Rafael. Raf looked at Sonny, then Carisi left. They watched Stone say something, Raf replied as he got up, kissed Stone's lips, threw cash down, waved at them and they left.
"At least they paid." Fin said.
Liv and Amanda nodded. All three watched as they walked out.
"I always thought Carisi and Barba would end up together, guess I was wrong." Fin said.
"They were, Raf broke it off when he went to trial." Olivia said.
Raf and Peter walked home, it was getting warmer outside, better than when Raf had walked away from the DA's office and SVU. Raf had Peter's hand in his as they made their way back to his apartment. Once inside Peter made each of them another drink as Raf sat on the couch. Peter brought Raf's scotch and himself a bourbon. They sat on the couch beside each other, both taking sips. Raf down his after a minute, sitting the glass on the table. Raf lent back, Peter followed, laying his head on Raf's shoulder.
"You want to go to bed?" Peter asked, looking up at his lover.
"Yeah, but can we sit here for a minute? Please."
"Whatever you want, Rafa." Peter smiled.
Peter wrapped his arms around Raf's stomach. Raf threw his arm around Peter's shoulder, pulling him in closer.
"Still can't believe it's been almost a month since we got together and you almost sent me to prison all in one day."
Peter chuckled.
"Yeah, not my best moment."
"No, it wasn't." Raf smiled.
