I wrote this waaaaaaayyy back at the beginning of my writing, in response to a challenge on another site. Oh yeah, and I don't own the song Back At One, by Mark Wills. (I know Brian Mcknight does a version too, but I went with Mark's version)
This songfic is for dez and Paige, cause ya'll rock my Elliot and Bobby lovin' socks!
Disclaimer: If I owned the show, Elliot would be banned from wearing shirts, and there would be mandatory makeout scenes between him and Olivia... every episode.
"Oh my God! You are so weird!" Olivia Benson shrieked, edging away from her partner.
Elliot Stabler just shrugged his broad shoulders.
Saturday night had found them at his apartment, eating dinner and watching T.V. Olivia had cooked a dinner of spaghetti, but she had no idea of what Elliot intended on doing with it.
"It's not that bad!" he protested, spooning more coleslaw onto his heaping plate.
"Well, I'm not kissing you after you've eaten that!" she threatened, pointing at his plate.
"Aw, come on, Liv. You know that's not true," he pointed out, his trademark grin gracing his face.
Olivia's heart melted. They had only been dating for two months, but he knew he could make her do anything with that smile.
Putting his plate on the coffee table, he leaned over and brushed his lips against hers. She closed her eyes and leaned in closer, placing her hand at the base of his neck.
"I love you," he whispered against her lips.
Suddenly her eyes snapped open, and she pulled out of his embrace.
"I... I have to go," she stuttered as she rushed out of the apartment, leaving Elliot hurt and confused. For a second, he sat there, stunned. Then he ran after her.
Outside, rain was coming down in sheets, and he strained to see her. "Olivia!" he shouted over the crackle of thunder.
Finally he spotted her, and he sprinted to catch up with her.
When he finally caught her, he grabbed her by the arm and spun her around to face him.
Through the rain, he could see the unmistakable sheen of tears in her soft brown eyes, and his heart broke.
"Why did you leave?" he asked gently.
"Because of what you said," she answered simply.
"Because I told you that I love you?" he asked disbelievingly.
She nodded, her head bowed.
Lifting her chin with his finger, he asked, "You don't believe me?"
She shook her head slowly.
An idea came to his mind.
"Fine, I'll prove it to you," he said stubbornly.
Wrapping his arms around her waist, he ignored the surprised look on her face as he began to sing in her ear.
It's undeniable that we should be together
It's unbelievable, how I used to say that I'd fall never
The basis you need to know
If you don't know just how I feel
Then let me show you now that I'm for real
If all things in time, time will reveal
One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me
Four, repeat steps one through three
Five, make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I'll start back at one
Pressing her fingers to his lips to stop his singing, she brought her lips crashing against his.
As they clung to each other, the storm raged on around them, but inside, they both smiled.
One Year Later...
"You may kiss the bride," the preacher announced, smiling as Elliot leaned in and brushed his lips against his bride's.
A few minutes later, Elliot and Olivia were being congratulated by their friends and colleagues.
"Knew you'd get him sooner or later," Alex said proudly, hugging Olivia.
"You look beautiful," Cragen said, pulling her into a fatherly embrace.
Olivia was about to thank him when the D.J. said,"This song is from the groom to the bride. So, Mrs. Stabler, come on out to the floor."
Olivia made her way to the floor as the first notes of the song played.
In the center of the floor stood Elliot. As she approached him, he extended his hand to her, which she gladly accepted.
As he pulled her against him, a spotlight was shone on them.
"So, Mrs. Stabler," he purred, "do you remember this song?"
"Of course I do," she smiled, laying her head on his shoulder. "It was the song that made me fall in love with you."
It's so incredible, the way things work themselves out
And all emotional once you know what it's all about
And undesirable for us to be apart
Never would've made it very far
Cause you know you hold the key to my heart
Several other couples had joined them on the floor, and Olivia had to laugh when she saw who Alex was dragging onto the floor.
"El, look," she said between laughs.
Elliot turned his head to see Alex wrapping her arms around the next of that of one John Munch.
"Hmm... I hear divorce bells," Elliot joked, recieving several glares from Alex and Munch.
"Shut up and dance," Olivia teased.
One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me
Four, repeat steps one through three
Five, make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I'll start back at one
Say farewell to the dark of night
I see the coming of the sun
I feel like a little child
Cause life has just begun
You came and breathed new life
Into this lonely heart of mine
You threw out the life line
Just in the nick of time
Several hours later, Elliot and Olivia made their way to the limo. As they ran outside, rain poured, and Olivia stopped, raising her face skyward. And once again, she was in that storm, listening to Elliot.
Catching her face in his hands, Elliot kissed her and said, "I love you."
And this time, she wasn't afraid.
"I love you, too."
One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me
Four, repeat steps one through three
Five, make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I'll start back at one
The End
