I've never been one to write, but when it comes to these two, I wish that they could've had their happy ending.

This is kinda mushy, maybe a TW as a heads up. Liv will be happy soon, I promise. ;)

Dick Wolf owns everything.

May 22, 3pm, SVU cribs.

It had been three months since Olivia had gone undercover and risked her life. It had been three months since since she had been assaulted and couldn't come to terms to tell Elliot what had happened. She had been seeing a therapist twice a week to get over it, but she knew it was something that she couldn't just get over. It was something that she knew she was going to be dealing with for a very long time, and she knew as long as she had Elliot by her side, everything was going to be okay. Olivia had a hard time opening up to Elliot about her mother, her father, the guy who she thought she was going to marry, but he still took her for what she was, and to her, that meant the world. She knew Elliot wanted what was best for her, and right now, she wanted to kill him for being so pushy.

"I don't see what the big deal is, Olivia!" Elliot argued and sat down on a mattress. "Elliot, stop!" Olivia warned and paced back and forth and rubbed her temples. "We told the captain that we're involved, and I'm just not ready to tell the rest of the squad!" She slowly breathed out as Elliot rolled his eyes and looked up at her. God he loved her, but she fucking drove him crazy. "It's not like it's a secret anyways! Fin definitely knows were together, you told Alex that you slept with me and well, John is good at figuring things out! It's only a matter of time before everyone knows! Lets just tell them now and call it a day, yeah?" He smiled and looked at her again and she shot him the death glare.

"Yeah, sounds fantastic, babe, I want everyone to know we're intimate and in love!" She hissed as Elliot groaned and laid back on the bed.

"You are so goddamn ridiculous. Do you even listen to yourself talk?" He asked seriously and turned his back to her. Olivia laughed shaking her head. "You're such a prick, Elliot." She hissed and slammed the door on her way out. Elliot groaned and rubbed his face in his hands and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

5 pm, Alyssa Hutchinson's apartment.

"I just wanted to follow up and make sure that you're doing okay." Olivia smiled a bit and hugged the girl and rubbed her back. "School is okay? No one has tried to bother you?" She asked, just like a worried, caring, dedicated detective would do. "I'm good, Olivia." Alyssa smiled and looked at her. "If it wasn't for you, honestly, I don't think I would have made it the first week out of the hospital… I felt so shitty… I had lost part of myself, and it was all because of him. He took part of me, but I'm slowly gaining it back. I'm in therapy, and it's really helping, and i've joined a bunch of clubs to stay active and keep my mind off things.." She smiled and looked at Olivia. "If it wasn't for you, Olivia, I don't think I would be here right now." She wiped her cheek and hugged the older woman.

Olivia sighed contently and hugged Alyssa. She knew that she had one purpose in this world, and it was to help other people heal. And that's exactly what she was doing, and Olivia didn't think she could ever get over how rewarding it was in the end. "I'm so glad to hear you're doing well." She slowly pulled from the hug. "I just wanted to check on you." She rubbed her arm. "You know where to call me." She smiled and hugged her once more before heading back to the precinct.

It had been a cool spring evening. She hadn't bothered taking a cab. She knew that rush hour was crazy, and with the weather getting nicer, everyone wanted to be out in New York. She didn't mind walking twelve blocks back to the one-six. Olivia took in the cool air and slowly breathed out. Sometimes she thought that this job was too demanding, but she looked around at the people she helped and couldn't think of why she would think that in the first place.

New York had always been Olivia's home. When she was younger, her mother had made them move to Jersey temporarily and she hated it. She thinks they were there only a few months but she was under the age of ten, and time used to go by slow as a kid, at least for her. She looked around the overwhelming city and smiled. She was proud to be here. She was proud of who she was, who she is.

"Sorry.." Olivia mumbled as she bumped shoulders with someone. She looked up and saw Elliot and groaned. "Are you following me now!? Jesus Christ, Elliot." Olivia groaned in frustration. "I can't go anywhere without you following me, can I? I'm sorry that you can't trust me!" She yelled as Elliot groaned and looked at her.

"Olivia. I'm not going to argue with you in the middle of the sidewalk. Can we just go back to the station and talk?" He begged as she sighed and looked at him. "Fine." She mumbled and crossed her arms.

7:15 pm, 16th precinct.

Olivia sat down at her desk and pulled a files from the corner of her desk and began filling them out. "I asked you if we could talk, not catch up on paperwork." Elliot sat across from her and looked at her as she put her pen down and looked up at him. "I don't want to talk, okay!" She hissed. "I have nothing to talk about! I can't go out and follow up with a victim without you following my every move!" Olivia yelled. "I feel like I'm suffocating when I'm around you!" She yelled again as Cragen stepped out of his office and looked at Olivia. "My office." He warned as she got up and looked at Elliot. She turned and walked away and headed into the captains office and sighed and looked at him.

"Look I'm sorry for getting all worked up out there." She slowly breathed out and rubbed her temples. "You wanna tell me what that was about in the first place?" Craven asked as he sat down and looked at Olivia who shook her head. "Do I really have to tell you?" She laughed sadly and sighed. "I know that he's only looking out for me.. But Jesus save me, it feels like whatever I do, he's just there!" She sighed and closed her eyes and rubbed her face. Craven chuckled a bit and sat back and looked at his detective. "It's also his job to 'just be there'. He's your partner, Olivia." He reminded. "Maybe I need to separate you two again. Is that what you needed?" Craven asked as Olivia just shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know what I need…" She sighed and looked away from him. "I just need some air, I'll be fine." She softly said and excused herself from his office and headed up to the roof.

Elliot began to stand up and follow her as Fin got up as well and shook his head. "Don't follow her, Elliot. Just give her some space. Let me go talk to her in a few minutes, ok? I'll let her know you're just looking out for her. I know how much you care man, but you gotta remember Olivia is a strong woman." He reminded Elliot. Elliot sighed and sat back down. He knew Fin was right. He knew he had been pushing Olivia harder than he normally would. He knew she needed space but all he wanted to do was be there for her and he felt like he couldn't.

7:45 pm, rooftop.

"Liv?" Fin called out as she sighed. "If you're here because Elliot sent you, just turn around now." Olivia sighed and leaned against the wall and looked over at Fin. He chuckled a bit and shook his head. "Nah, baby girl, I'm here cause I'm worried about you… I know you're sick of hearing that.. And I'm sorry.. But I'm just checkin in on you, seein how you're really doing', y'know." Fin walked over to her and rubbed her arm. "I know today's a rough day and Elliot doesn't know why.. I get why you wouldn't want to tell him either, but listen to me, don't push him away, ok?" He lifted Olivia's chin. She looked away from his stare and let a tear fall. "Fin, I was so fucking scared from that night… If you hadn't found me… Fuck." She closed her eyes and let the tears fall. Fin took Olivia into his arms and hugged her tightly and kissed her head. "Let Elliot hold you extra close tonight, ok?" He whispered as she nodded and hugged Fin.

"Thank you." She whispered as he rubbed her back.

"Anything for you, baby girl."
