Olivia Benson ran around her apartment, frantic. Elliot would be there any minute, and she still wasn't ready!

Calm down, she instructed herself as she applied her usual miniscule amount of makeup. It's not like this is an actual date. We're just going to the annual Christmas ball. A knock at her door interrupted her self scolding, and she took a deep breath. Standing up, she slowly made her way to the front door.

Elliot Stabler paused before knocking on his partner's apartment door.

Come on, Stabler, he scolded himself. This is Olivia. It's not like we're going on a real date. It's just a party. Exhaling, he knocked sharply on the door. He heard shuffling, then the door swung open. The sight that greeted him took his breath away.

There was Olivia, standing in a floor length dark blue gown. His gaze swept over her from head to toe. The neckline plunged a little, but not enough to mar the effect. He had seen her in plenty of dresses, but this one blew him away.

Olivia slowly drank in her partner.He had always been taller than her, but tonight, if it was possible, he was taller and more handsome. His tuxedo was black, contrasting with his dark skin in an almost sexy way. Stop it, Benson, her common sense warned. He's your partner. Forcing herself back to reality, she extended her arm out to her partner. "Shall we?" she asked with a shy grin.

Elliot continued to stare at his partner until a voice in his head screamed, Stop thinking like that! She's your partner, you idiot! She doesn't feel the same way about you. He watched as she extended her arm, and he took it in his, guiding her out of the building.

Later that night, Olivia was at the table, bored out of her mind. Cragen and Elliot were off schmoozing with some high society types, Munch and Fin were arguing about Munch's newest conspiracy theory, and Alex and the good Dr. Huang were on the dance floor. Olivia sighed, taking another sip of her wine. Someone tapped her shoulder, and Olivia turned to face a strikingly handsome stranger.

"May I have this dance?" the man asked in a slow southern drawl, extending his hand.

Olivia nodded and accepted his hand.

The man led her out on the floor and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Olivia rested her hands on his shoulders, and they began making lazy circles on the dance floor.

The dance was going nicely, and Olivia was beginning to relax and enjoy herself when she felt the man's hands slide from her waist and begin to journey south.

Automatically Olivia jerked out of his embrace and slapped him across his face. She turned to leave, but the man shot a hand out and grabbed her wrist, holding her in place.

"You little bitch," he hissed, raising his hand.

"Let go of me!" Olivia shrieked, balling up her free hand and hitting him squarely in the jaw.

This didn't seem to faze him, his grip only tightened on her wrist.

Elliot had been watching the man Olivia was dancing with. He watched in a mixture of surprise and laughter when she had punched him. But his laughter had quickly turned to fear and anger when the man grabbed Olivia. Elliot let out a growl as he stormed onto the dance floor.

Olivia watched as the man's free hand rose to hit her. She shut her eyes, but instead of the sound of him hitting her, she heard a familiar voice say, "Let her go!" She opened her eyes in time to see her assailant swing at Elliot.

Elliot dodged the man's blows effortlessly. Quickly he grabbed one of the man's arms and shoved it behind his back, forcing him to the ground. "Now," Elliot snarled at the man, "she told you to leave her alone. So if I see you anywhere near her tonight, tomorrow, or ever, I will not be so forgiving. Understand?" The man whimpered in agreement, and Elliot released him.

Olivia watched as the man dissappeared into the crowd, and Elliot made his way back to her side.

With a grin, he extended his hand and said, "May I have this dance?"

"Yes," she breathed as she gladly took his hand.

A slow song began as they danced, and Elliot hummed along with it.

I got a funny feeling

The moment that your lips touched mine

Something shot right through me

My heart skipped a beat in time

There's a different feel about you tonight

Got me thinking lots of crazy things

I even think I saw a flash of light

Felt like electricity

Her arms snaked around his neck as the music began to crescendo, and she closed her eyes, leaning against his shoulder.

He marveled at how perfectly their bodies fit together as they swayed in time to the music. He watched as she looked up at him and smiled, her chocolate eyes melting his heart, and he took a chance.

She looked up at him, and their eyes met, his cerulean eyes piercing her soul.

Their faces came closer, until their lips were nearly brushing together. Then he moved forward, pressing his mouth to hers.

You shouldn't kiss me like this, unless you mean it like that

Cause I'll just close my eyes, and I won't know where I'm at

We'll get lost on this dance floor, spinning around

And around and around and around

They're all watching us now, they think we're fallin' in love

They'd never believe we're just friends

When you kiss me like this, I thimk you mean it like that

If you do, baby kiss me again

When she pulled away, she asked, "What was that?"

"I don't know. What do you think it was?"

Everybody swears we make the perfect pair

But dancing is as far as it goes

Girl you never moved me quite the way you moved me tonight

I just wanted you to know, I just wanted you to know

You shouldn't kiss me like this, unless you mean it like that

Cause I'll just close my eyes and I won't know where I'm at

We'll get lost on this dance floor spinning around

And around and around and around

They're all watching us now, they think we're falling in love

They'd never believe we're just friends

When you kiss me like this, I think you mean it like that

If you do, baby kiss me again, kiss me again

She pressed her lips to his again and closed her eyes, reveling in the moment.

"I love you, Liv," Elliot whispered against her lips.

"I love you too, Elliot," she admitted, pulling him closer against him.

An eruption of applause made them jump, and they looked up to find Fin, Munch, Alex, and even Huang and Cragen cheering and clapping.

Elliot and Olivia laughed and kissed again. Life was good.

The End
