The Only Exception
I don't own the characters. Except the guy name Chad. Dick Wolf does. It's based off the song The Only Exception by Paramore. I started writing it this summer on the road to Illinois. I hope you like it.
Elliot went to the door and opened it blindly thinking that it would be the guy with the food, but instead he saw a rather unwelcome figure holding their Chinese, Agent Dean Porter. "Porter what are you doing here?" It took every ounce of will power for me to not grab him and throw him against the wall.
"I came to see Olivia," he said bluntly not even wondering why I was over.
"Well guess what she doesn't want to see you, but thanks for paying for the Chinese," as Elliot grabbed the food and slammed the door in Porter's face.
"El, who was at the door?"
He knew that he would have to tell her even if it would hurt her "Porter."
He saw her stop and that's when her face turned red "that rat bastard had the nerve to show up here? He should be glad that you answered the door and not me. Did you punch him El?" Elliot did not like the crazed look that now crossed Liv's face and it scared him but only slightly. He had seen bad ass Benson before and quite frankly he wanted to change the topic. He didn't want Porter ruining his first date with Liv. "Food's here let's eat."
Elliot sat down and pulled out his chopsticks, opened his take out box, stabbed a piece of beef, and brought it to his mouth. Elliot was mid chew when he heard Liv say something "El, I didn't mean to get mad at you or scare you or anything. It's just the last time I saw Porter he..."
"He hurt you?"
"Yeah El, he did and I don't think he even cares."
Eventually Liv joined him and they started eating until they were both full. Two fortune cookies were sitting on the table in front of them and beckoning for them to be opened and read.
"El, do you want to open he fortune cookies?"
"Sure, as long as you pick yours."
They looked the same so Olivia picked the one on the right and Elliot took the one on the left. Elliot opened his and pulled out his fortune, nothing special about it.
"What's your fortune?"
Elliot looked down at the small slip of paper "It says you will have much to be thankful for in the coming year."
"Open mine now El."
Elliot repeated the process with her cookie and when he opened it there was no fortune inside.
"What does it mean El?"
"Well believe it or not this has happened to me before with the kids. I told them that they can make their own future because a cookie doesn't know squat."
"Wow did they believe you?"
"Yeah for the most part," as he grinned.
"What do you want to do now El?"
"I know you have some movies that we haven't watched yet."
They started a movie and sat on the couch with a bowl of popcorn. A few minutes into the movie Olivia rested her head on Elliot's shoulder "are you tired Liv?"
"Yeah, just a little."
"Can you stay awake for the movie?"
"I will try but I can't promise anything."
"Ok Liv just fall asleep then," as soon as he said it he felt her relax into him and fall asleep. Elliot stayed awake for half of the movie and then he succumbed to sleep as well.
Please review. Thanks :)
