Indication
It was cases like these that gave Alex chronic insomnia. Not because she was laden down with work or buried in motions, but because of Olivia. The detective often lost herself in the disparity of the world, giving no indication if this would be the time she wouldn't be able to find herself again.
Indelible**
Elliot let out a long sigh, looking down at the headstone before him. The guilt of his partners death was eating him alive, no sleep, no eating, only grief, all consuming guilt triggered, grief.
"She wouldn't blame you." A voice said from behind him
"Alex." Elliot said, not surprised to see the blond.
"How she died is indelible to everyone. The only thing we can do now is not to forget her. "
Comfort**
Olivia had hated this case with a burning fury. No child should have to suffer like this one did and yet, as she sat in the hospital bed it brought her a calm, twisted, sense of comfort that the bastard was dead. And she had shot him.
Fight**
"Leave." Alex said coolly, staring Olivia straight in the face
Angry beyond reason Olivia nodded "This was a mistake." She said as she gathered her things "A huge fucking mistake."
"I agree." Alex said, watching from her spot behind the island as Olivia walked towards the doorway, but her eyes betrayed her.
Crystal blue and shining with betrayal she looked away " This wasn't supposed to be the fight that ended it all." She said, her voice echoing around the now empty
apartment.
Trap**
It was too late that the NYPD Detectives realized that it was a trap, well, too late for one of the detectives. Elliot on the other hand had been in on it from the beginning, only feigning his confusion "You knew?" Olivia asked as Alex wrapped an arm around her waist, trying to be angry but failing.
"I plead the fifth." Elliot replied, happy that his partner was happy.
Race**
Olivia was nervous, blood pumping through her ears and adrenaline beginning to kick in. It was as the light went from red, to yellow and finally to green that Olivia came to the realization that she never knew how nerve wracking Go-Kart racing your girlfriend could be.
Disconcerting
Not that Olivia would readily admit it to anyone but the first time that she had woken up in bed with Alex, after her three years in WitSec had been one of the the most disconcerting of her life.
Retrieved
Olivia watched as Alex felt in the pocket of her jeans for something, watching at the momentary panic that crossed her face before she retrieved what she was looking for. A ring.
Obligatory
"The annual what-" Olivia asked, not sure if she had heard correctly.
"You heard me. "Alex said, obviously embarrassed "It's obligatory, if not for you but for me. I don't know why someone created the annual Cabot paintball game. I was just as shocked as you the first time I was invited, I mean come on, can you picture my mother crawling around in the mud?"
Olivia shook her head "I just think it's sexy that you're going to be shooting people."
Neurotic
Coffee. That's what Olivia needed as soon as possible but it seemed that every mini-mart in the mile radius from their apartment was out. Fuck. Alex was absolutely neurotic before her cup of coffee in the morning.
Conscience
"Don't you have a conscience?" Olivia asked, to her wickedly grinning girlfriend.
"Not when it comes to this." Alex said "And not when it comes to you and me doing this."
Olivia groaned, a mixture of lust and sarcastic unwillingness.
Unprotected
"This is beyond moronic." Alex said from her spot at Olivia's desk inside the squad room "Who told Elliot that letting Olivia meet with a psycho-killer without a Kevlar vest or a gun, essentially unprotected, was a good idea?"
"I did." Cragen said "She's going to be okay." He added, reassuring the ADA.
"Tell me that when she's kicking me out of her chair in an hour."
Inclination
"I don't have the slightest inclination to get out of bed." Olivia said
"Good." Alex muttered, tightening her grip around the brunettes waist "Because I don't think I was going to let you anyway."
Explosive
Alex loved the explosive affect her touch had on her girlfriend. It more intoxicating that any drug on the market, legal or otherwise.
Customizing
"Will she like it?" Olivia asked, once again finding herself in the office of Elizabeth Donnelly asking the godmother of her girlfriend for advice.
The question was referring the ring that Olivia had spent hours upon painstaking hours customizing for her girlfriend.
"If it's coming from you, she'll love it." The woman replied, smiling
Talking
"Say something." Alex prompted to her otherwise silent girlfriend.
No dice.
"Fine." Alex said "I'm quite comfortable sitting here all night until you start talking to me."
Losing
"Can Serena and I?" Abbie asked , almost desperately "We'll bring food."
"Sure" Olivia replied "If you don't mind Alex sulking around."
"Why?" Abbie asked, laughing as she heard Alex shout defiantly 'I'm not sulking!"
"The Yankees are losing to the Red Sox again."
Hypnotic
Her favorite part of Alex was her eyes. Crystal blue, hypnotic and utterly intoxicating but now they were blank, lifeless, empty.
Catcher
Olivia walked into the apartment she shared with Alex, hesitating as she saw a pile of baseball gear sitting on the kitchen table "Alex" she called out "why is there a pile of sweaty pads stinking up our."
Her girlfriend appeared in the doorway "Casey convinced me to join the office softball team."
"Are you the bat girl or something?" Olivia asked, not sure where the pads came in.
"No." Alex shook her head "Catcher."
Urged
"I was urging you." Olivia said, not exactly sure why her girlfriend was so angry with her.
"Urging me?" Alex squeaked "Olivia, you pushed me out of an airplane."
Flammable
"Caution: flammable." Olivia read, peering at the bottom of the box "Well damn" she commented "and here I was wanting to burn my laptop."
"Smartass." Alex said "Just be happy it finally came."
Army
"I bet you were one of those girls that played with Barbies." Olivia said laughing as Alex stepped awkwardly to avoid a puddle.
"I will have you know that I used to play with those little army guys. My mother hated it but they were so much more exciting than Barbies."
Vilifying
Alex walked into the precinct "The defense is vilifying the NYPD and the worst part is, it's working."
"So do something about it." Olivia countered
"Why didn't I think of that?" Alex deadpanned, glaring at her girlfriend.
Totaled
"I need you to come pick me up."
Olivia responded without thinking "Sure, where are you?"
"Don't freak out, but I'm at the hospital."
"What?" Olivia said, freaking out "Why?"
"Some moron on a motorcycle totaled his motorcycle with my car." She explained tiredly "I'm fine, his bike on the other hand..."
I know that I am soo far behind on the one shots but they are coming, I promise!
