A/N: Thanks for the kind words everyone. I will keep writing this fluff (with no real plot) as long as people still want it.
First Class
On Monday, Elliot walked into his Psychology of the Criminal Mind class. He was sitting next to Fin and watching the door as students filled in. A few minutes before class was to start Olivia walked in the door. Elliot looked up and smiled at her. She locked eyes with him and walked toward his desk. He stood up and gave her a hug in greeting.
"Hey, how are you?" Elliot asked her.
"Hey, I'm good. How are you?"
"I'm good," Elliot looked at Fin, "Fin, this is Olivia Benson. Liv this is Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola, my roommate," he introduce the two.
"Hi, nice to finally meet you," Fin said. "He can't stop talking about you."
Elliot shot him a glare and tried to cover the blush that was slowly rising on his face.
"Well, it's nice to meet you too, Fin."
Elliot then spoke up, "Would you like to sit down?" he offered her the seat next to his.
"Yeah, thanks."
For the next hour and ten minutes, Elliot and Olivia stole glances at one another. Each time their eyes met, both smiled and looked away. Since it was the first day of classes, they weren't really learning anything. It was an introductory day, so Elliot wasn't worried about missing stuff. As soon as Professor Briscoe (a/n: I had to, I love him!) dismissed class, the two met outside the door. It was about twelve-thirty and they were both a little hungry.
Elliot took her hand in his, "Would you like to go get some lunch? The dining hall is close to here."
"Yeah, I would like that," she smiled. She loved the feel of her hand entwined in his.
They walked to the dining hall, grabbed their trays and got their food. Elliot found a quiet table in the corner of the room and sat down to wait for Olivia. He had macaroni 'n cheese, chicken nuggets, a bowl of mixed fruit, and a piece of vanilla cake, with white icing. Olivia sat down with a bowl of salad, a chicken sandwich and some mixed fruit. They ate over relative silence and a little small talk. They left the dining hall hand-in-hand.
They walked to Olivia's next class. Right before she went in Elliot spoke up.
"Would you like to go out tomorrow night?"
"Yeah. That sounds great." She smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek before going in.
Elliot stood there for another minute reveling in the sensation of her lips on his cheek. He walked away smiling and couldn't wait for tomorrow.
Not Quite 6 Months Later . . .
Ring Ring Ring
"Hello?"
"Hey Liv, what's up?"
Olivia smiled at the sound of her boyfriend's voice, "Hey El. I'm good, how about you?"
"Good. I was just wondering if you had plans for Wednesday night," he asked.
"No, I don't. Why do you ask?"
"Well, since you don't have plans, and I don't have plans, maybe we could do something together."
"That sounds wonderful. What do you have in mind?"
"I was thinking we could go back to that nice Italian place in town and then maybe come back to my dorm and watch a movie. Fin wont be here, so he wont be in the way at all."
"That is an awesome plan. What time should I expect you?"
"I already have reservations for 7:30. So I will be at your room at 7."
"Already have the reservations, huh?"
"Yup."
"Rather confident aren't you?"
"Well, I figured that since Wednesday is Valentine's Day, you would want to spend it with me."
"I guess I am going to have to call my other boyfriend and cancel on him. He was just gonna get a burger and come here to hang out."
He smiled at the laughter in her voice, "I guess so. He is gonna just have to be disappointed. I am so much cooler," he teased.
"You are right. You are so much cooler than any other guy here."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence. I got to go finish the paper for sociology. So I will see you tomorrow in class and then on Wednesday."
"Okay. See ya. Bye, El."
"Bye, Liv."
Wednesday . . .
Knock Knock Knock
"Alex, can you get that? It's probably Elliot."
"Okay," Alex walked to the door. "Hey Elliot; Olivia is not quite ready yet. Come on in, she will be out in a minute."
"Thanks Alex," Elliot looked at her, "You aren't dressed to go out. I thought you and Ryan were getting pretty serious."
"Yeah, we are, but he had to go to the city because his mom called and his dad is in the hospital. We are going out on Friday, if he is back."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"No, it's fine. He said it isn't serious, but just wanted to go down and see him."
At that moment Olivia walked out of the bathroom. Elliot looked over to her and smiled.
"You look gorgeous baby," Elliot walked over to her and gave her a chaste kiss on the lips.
"Thanks, you're not hard on the eyes either El."
Elliot chuckled, "There it is, I knew. I knew you were only with me for my good looks."
"You caught me. Sorry. But if you don't lose your boyish figure you wont have anything to worry about."
Alex just sat back and rolled her eyes, "You two are two peas in a pod. I know no other couple that makes fun of each other and teases each other as you two," she stated.
Elliot grinned, "It's just another reason we are so much better than everyone else."
"Right."
"Let's go before you get in trouble El. Bye Alex, see ya later," Olivia chimed in.
"Yeah, later; you mean tomorrow?"
Olivia blushed, "I don't know, maybe. Well, whenever I see you, it will be later."
"Bye Liv, bye Elliot."
"Bye Alex," Elliot smiled and led Olivia out the door.
