Right never thought I'd be doing this considering I actually hated this ship as I'm a barson fan. But as a person who likes to see and idea through... Here we are.

Tuckson to Barson (because Barba and Olivia deserve to be together.)

Rafael told her weeks ago that he would have kissed her at the Halloween party if they were alone. Truth be told she would have wanted to be kissed by him.

But Olivia Benson has never made smart decisions when on the subject of men. She should be with Barba, she thinks as she is outside of a restaurant being pulled, into an alley next to the bar by the Captain at IAB Ed Tucker. Why the fuck is she here? She should have kissed Barba. She should be with him now. Expect she isn't... She is about to be kissed by IAB's Captian.

She does kiss him. Against the wall of the bar in the alley. She doesn't know why she kisses him but she does. Her hands wrap around his neck as she kisses him deeper. Their tongues dance. They don't see the photo taken. Or the person who took the photo.

She hates herself for this kiss. She should hate him. She does hate him. Does she? The kiss is long and slow. But not passionate.

At least Olivia hopes it isn't.

"Come back with me." Ed says into her ear as they lift off their lips from each other.

No she is wrong. Now she has a decision to make.

Ring. Ring. Ring. Well that's good timing she thinks as she takes out her phone. Ed backs away from her as she answers. "Benson."

"Liv where are you? I've been standing at your door for the past 20 minutes." Fin says.

The fucking case. She told Fin they would talk about it over together. Quick Olivia think on your feet. "Shit... Sorry I forgot. I'll be there soon. I promise." Olivia says.

Ed walks away and calls for a taxi and opens the door as she comes out of the alley. "I'm sorry." Olivia says quietly.

"Another time maybe." Ed says with a sad smile.

"Maybe." Olivia says, neither agreeing or disagreeing to his statement. She shuts the door after saying goodbye and gives the adress to the taxi driver.

"I don't understand this case. Why is it so secret?" Fin says.

"I don't know. Barba is obviously hiding something."

The next day at around 1pm Barba talks to Olivia in his office and he hates every moment of it. "What is going on Barba? We can't talk about this case to anyone and now you are saying that even IAB can't know?" Olivia says quietly.

To get the meeting over as quickly as possible, Barba brings out his phone and sets it on his desk. He makes 2 taps before looking at her. "Look Olivia the reason I asked you here is that I am informing you that a Captian at IAB maybe involved in a sex trafficing ring. You don't even mention that you are sleeping together."

"What? We aren't." Olivia says staring at him. He takes out his phone and Olivia looks at him. "Raf... this isn't what it looks like."

"Last night I was going to go to the bar and I seen you and him. Now that right there looks like he has is tounge down your throat." Barba says. His expression is sad. Hurt. Disgusted.

She hates it all. "We aren't together Rafael."

"Then... Lieutenant. What is going on?" Rafael says. The Lieutenant part hurts. He never calls her by her rank. Never.

"Tucker took me for a drink. We left together and he pulled me into the alley. Fin rang, thankfully, before it could go anywhere else." Olivia says.

"Did you want him to kiss you?" Rafael aska and Olivia looks at him.

"No." She replies. He sighs and shuts off his phone.

"I hate this." He says quietly, buttoning his suit jacket and going to her. "I really hate this."

"Hate what?" She asks.

"Not being able to trust you. I thought you hated this guy. I thought SVU hated this guy."

"Your wrong about him. Trust me." She says turning away from him.

"I can't." Barba says and Olivia looks back at him. "We are done here." He continues and Olivia walks out of his office door.

7 hours later and Olivia hasn't moved from her office desk unless it is to get coffee or go to the restroom. The case against Tucker has been dismissed and Rafael has avoided her for the last 2 and a half hours. The last text he sent her was telling her that Tucker isn't being investigated after a confession from other people nameing everyone expect him. That was almost 2 hours ago.

Tucker has been suspended and will be back on Monday, however and Olivia doesn't want to see him. She need to see Rafael.

"Barba." He says, with hints of anger piercing through his voice as he picks up the phone.

"Hi. Can I see you?" Olivia asks.

"I'm not at home. I'm in my office." Barba says. He seems hurt.

"Me too. I'll see you in 10." She replies.

"Ok." Barba replies and Olivia hangs up the phone.

She walks into his office and smiles at him. His jacket is off. His sleeves are rolled. Tie loosend. "Hello Lieutenant." He says quietly.

"I'm sorry." She says quietly. "That kiss with Tucker ment nothing to me. I don't want him Rafael. I've told him. He didn't even remember the kiss." She says quietly.

"Then... Why are you telling me this?" Rafael asks.

"You told me something at the Halloween party. You said that you wanted to kiss me but there was no time for us to be alone." She says softly. She walks to his side of his desk. "There's no one here now." She says, her voice soft, her heart pounding in her chest, her mind focused on him. "The reason why I want you to kiss me is... kissing Ed felt so wrong. I kept thinking about you. I should have been with you that night Raf... but I am stupid." She says quietly.

"You aren't stupid Liv. Please never say that." He says getting up from his seat and he looks at her. "Sit on my desk." Barba says and Olivia blushes and sits on his desk. "Means you won't hurt your neck." He says, softly resting a hand on her face. He leans into kiss her and there lips meet.

It feels right. It's passionate. It's a kiss that should have happened a long time ago. "I hated seeing you with him because I love you." Barba whispers.

"We should have kissed a long time ago." Olivia says.
