Benson Residence
April 8th
6:34 AM
She could feel the dampness in the air. But that wasn't all she felt as she hurried faster down the never-ending sidewalk. She could see tall buildings on either side and every now and then a car would pass by. No people. The world seemed empty… Alone…
--------------------------------------
The air was warm, and filled with laughter. He could see her; smiling, laughing, and staying just ahead of him on the path. "Come back!" He called to her, picking up his pace. She fluttered by him, still laughing, and then disappeared. "Olivia?" He asked, looking around. Alone…
--------------------------------------
Her heart beat fast in her chest. A car stopped suddenly, a door closed tightly. Footsteps… Behind her… Olivia wheeled around, only to be grabbed from the other direction. Someone was coming at her; someone was holding her down…
--------------------------------------
He started running, faster and faster. Her laugh came to his ears, making his head turn. She was there behind him; arms open wide. Elliot grinned, going back and scooping her up in the air.
--------------------------------------
Screaming didn't work as a hand was over her mouth. "Elliot!" She tried to sayThe name escaped her as she pulled away from the grasp. "No!" She cried, seeing the silver sharp blade. "Elliot!" Her voice was growing desperate as she struggled…Tossing, turning…
--------------------------------------
He set her down, holding her close. Three inches away, two inches away, one inch. Elliot closed the gap between the two faces, pressing his lips against hers. The world swirled around him, the two of them spinning faster and faster, wind rushing in his ears.
"Elliot!" The lines between reality and dreams blurred.
--------------------------------------
"Elliot, help!" Sharp pain struck her side.
--------------------------------------
Startled, Elliot jumped awake. Someone was calling his name, and it wasn't just in his dream. "Elliot…" The word was mumbled into the thick quilt and came from just to the left of him. Elliot rubbed his eyes, turning to look at the sleeping lump that was Olivia. She had curled up into a tight ball. "Elliot…please help…" It came again, this time more urgent. She struggled with herself, tossing to face him. Slowly, it registered to him that Olivia was dreaming, abouthim. The thought struck so suddenly that he froze for a moment, until Olivia said his name again.
A look of pure pain was on her face as she whimpered, her hands clenching into fists. "No." She said, her voice growing louder. "Please, no… Elliot!" Olivia's forehead was slick with sweat. Elliot frowned, biting his lip. It didn't seem like she was going to wake up anytime soon. The quilt and towel were tangled around Olivia, her legs curled behind her and arms thrashing about. Elliot couldn't take it any more. He leaned over her, grabbing Olivia's wrists gently.
"Liv." He said tenderly. "Olivia!" Elliot leaned over her, trying to keep her body still. It took a few more seconds of her struggling before Olivia's eyes came open wearily. Another second passed as she stared into Elliot's eyes. He backed up slowly, sitting on the edge of the bed. Olivia gasped, sitting up sharply. But the pain in her side pulled her back down to lean on her elbows.
"Elliot!" She said, startled, gasping for air. It was only then she noticed that she had gone to bed with no clothes on, and her side was aching. Elliot sat there calmly.
"Are you okay?" He asked, blinking. Olivia didn't know how to answer. Her side was throbbing; she was now shaking, and factor in that she was wearing no clothes under a quilt with Elliot a few feet away. Was she okay? No. But how was going to tell Elliot that?
"I forgot to put the bandage back on the cut…" She remembered, a hand running over her side.
"Do you want me to leave?" Elliot stood up, looking at her, studying her face carefully. Olivia's face snapped up to meet Elliot's.
"No!" She said, eyes wide. "Just…wait outside." Olivia said nervously. Elliot gave her a small nod and stepped back into the living room. As quickly as she could, Olivia found some clothes and changed, heading to the bathroom. She covered the cut with gauze, and then used medical tape to tape it down. A few minutes later, she arrived in the living room. She flopped down on the couch next to him with a sigh. "I'm sorry." Olivia said.
"For what?" Elliot asked, a small smile playing on his face.
"For waking you." She shifted uncomfortably on the cushion.
"You were dreaming." Elliot pointed out, not looking Olivia in the eyes. "You kept saying my name."
"I-I did?" She stuttered. Olivia was at a loss for words. She remembered her dream, sort of. But did she really say his name out loud? More then once? Elliot looked up to find Olivia staring intently at him. He nodded, looking down again.
"I'm not sure if you were actually dreaming about me… But you kept asking me to help you…" Elliot fumbled with his hands. They both knew what happened in her dream; Olivia blushed heavily. "I had a dream about you too, Liv." He said quietly a second later. Elliot and Olivia both looked at each other for a minute. When Elliot didn't say anything more, Olivia prompted him.
"And?" She leaned forward on the couch; Elliot turned to face her. "What happened?" If he knew about her dream, it was only fair. But Elliot shrugged.
"Nothing. We were in the park." He said simply. Olivia knew better.
"Please tell me, El." She asked him, deep brown eyes staring at him hopefully. Elliot bit his lip, considering it for a moment.
"Could I… should you?" He asked finally, ice blue eyes meeting her brown ones. Olivia nodded slowly, trying to grasp where this was going. Elliot scooted closer to Olivia, taking her hand slowly, and then she knew. Olivia held her breath, inching forward. His hand slipped to her chin, tilting her head up slightly.
Three inches away, two inches, one inch…
The gap between them closed, and Elliot pressing his lips on Olivia's. Olivia smiled into the kiss, her hand resting on his knee. Their lips fit perfectly together, smooth and cautious, waiting for the other to accept. Olivia gave first, letting her lips part just a centimeter. After a few seconds, they pulled apart, Elliot's hand settling to cover hers…

Okay, okay. I know I probably killed you all with a cliffhanger really early in the story, and now this mini one. x3 Sorry. BUT at least they finally kissed:D I already started on the next chapter, though I'm not sure when I'll get to post it since I've been getting a ton of homework. Plus I never know what my weekends going to be like.
Horray for the SVU marathon on Saturday though! Well, here in the US there is on the USA channel. o.o
