A/N I hope you all enjoy! I recommend you listen to Imagine Dragons' song Demons to understand the meaning of the song!
They pulled into "Party Cove" fifteen minutes after the accident. Elliot's arm was still draped over Olivia holding her tight to him. Olivia sat up and out of Elliot's grasp as they pulled in.
She jumped up, "Hey Fin, I'll take her in, you have to be super careful." She took the controls from Fin and turned into the no wake zone. She felt Elliot's hand on her lower back and she turned to look at him. He didn't look down at her like she would normally expect. This confused her but blew it off as him watching for people.
Olivia listened to the music playing loudly in the nearing distance. She smiled as she turned to see Casey cranking up their stereo to an obnoxious volume. One of Olivia's favorite songs, Demons by Imagine Dragons, was playing causing Olivia to sway along taking Elliot along with her.
While steering she turned and sang directly to him:
When the curtain's call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made
Don't want to let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't want to hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I want to save their light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
His eyes seemed to gain the meaning of the song just by looking into her eyes. His eyes tried to keep direct eye contact as he saw a tear forming in her eye. That was short lived when she pulled the sunglasses from her head to cover her eyes and turn back to the water ahead. His eyes remained focused on the side of her face he could see.
The next song came on just as they pulled up to an open spot to tie up.
"El, can you get the ropes from the front and tie us to that tree?" She asked pointing to the large tree standing out in the water. He however was still trying to gain the full meaning behind the song lyrics that obviously meant something more to Olivia than he could grasp.
"Okay never mind then." Olivia huffed when he didn't answer. She slithered out of his grasp and jogged up to the front and began tying the rope. Elliot finally kicked into action and went up to help her tie them.
"Don't worry about it, I'm already done." She stated when he reached her.
"Sorry Liv." She looked up and saw hurt and love in his eyes.
She sighed, "I'm sorry El…" She leaned up and gave him a sweet closed mouth kiss on the corner of his mouth. Giving him a slightly sad smile she moved around him to get the other passengers ready for the rest of the day.
"Okay guys! Welcome to Party Cove!" Olivia said in an enthusiastic voice. Munch, Alex, Casey, and Fin cheered while Elliot sat down in the captain's seat waiting to see what the day held in store. "Alright well you all can do whatever you'd like! There's always parties on other people's boats so you can just swim around and make friends, or just hang out here, just watch for other boats and stuff because most of these people are drunk and don't know what they're doing, and I don't need to tell you what can happen in that situation."
They all nodded and Munch grabbed one of the rafts hauling Alex onto it with them as they went in search of some quiet time. Fin and Casey did the same but more in search of a huge party to crash.
This left Elliot and Olivia to sit on the boat.
"Want a beer?" Olivia asked trying to take the frown off Elliot's face.
"Sure." He simply stated. She got two out of the cooler and popped the caps on them, handing one to Elliot. He simply took it and stared down at it not saying a word.
Olivia huffed, "Okay Elliot, what's wrong?"
"Nothing…" he said half-heartedly.
"Elliot I know when something's wrong and you've hardly been speaking to me. Was it the crash? Because I'm fine!" Olivia said sitting down in the co-captain's seat across from Elliot. She took one of his hands in hers; he looked down at them together and ran his thumb across the top of her hand.
"You could've died…" he trailed off still not looking up at her.
"El, I didn't though! I'm fine!" He still wouldn't look up at her.
"Liv… I was so worried… I couldn't tell if you were okay or not and I couldn't get over to you… I felt like I was drowning."
"El…" she got out of her seat and sat down on his lap turning to face him. She swiped her finger under his chin coaxing him to look up at her. "I love you so much… I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier… I'm not used to having anyone worry about me that much."
"Liv, I've been worrying like since we became partners… I just couldn't show it until now. And I love you too… so much." He leaned in and kissed her with every ounce of passion he had in him. Olivia's fingernails scraped his scalp as the kiss deepened, her tongue mingling with his fighting for dominance but both coming out winners.
She moaned into the kiss making him roll his hips into the side of her thigh.
They broke apart for air she giggled and buried her face into his neck. Elliot relaxed back into his chair pulling her with him.
"I'm sorry I scared you earlier." Olivia mumbled into his neck.
"It's okay Liv… but never again. If something happened to you… I couldn't live anymore." Olivia sat up just enough to look into his eyes.
"El, don't say that!"
"I couldn't Olivia… you are my life. There's no one else for me."
"Oh El." She hugged him tighter and nuzzled his neck again. "I feel the same way."
