It had been an awkward week for both John and Olivia since the night Olivia had admitted her feelings to John.

"Morning Liv" Elliot greeted as he passed her on his way to get coffee.

"Morning El, Fin...John" Olivia said taking her seat at her desk.

"I'll be back" John mumbled incoherently to his partner before disappearing. Olivia watched as John left and sighed; only leaving second after him. It wasn't the first time that Olivia has found John up on the roof of the precinct and she wasn't surprised to find him there now.

"John?" she called out before walking closer to him as he stood, watching the city below. John turned and kissed Olivia gently, and before she could react he pulled away.

"I love you too Olivia" he said kissing her again.

"Why didn't you tell me that night?" she asked after they pulled apart.

"I was scared...I'm sorry that I didn't tell you, I know how much I hurt you but I was scared of how much I love you. I've never loved somebody as much as I love you. And I couldn't tell you because I was worried that I would hurt you, which is what I ended up doing anyways. Last night I had a dream, it made me realize that I want to spend the rest of my life protecting you from ever getting hurt. I don't want to ever lose you" Olivia smiled and kissed John, just like she had that night she told him that she loved him. And all of this happened because of a simple dream.
