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.

In the morning when I woke up I felt something soft and warm surrounding me, I opened my eyes and saw it was my nuddle. I looked around for Elliot and figured that he must have left for something. Figures, I knew it would be too good to be true if I woke up in his arms. My apartment seemed very familiar because I had always been alone and I didn't know why I expected that to change, especially overnight. I had never noticed how content I was with loneliness, I wasn't sure when I had started to feel that way but I knew deep down that taking a risk with Elliot would not be worth it. I looked at the time and saw that I had to get ready for work, and was on my way to my room when I heard the sink running in the bathroom. I stopped dead in my tracks 'did someone break in? Was it Elliot?' I looked around for something, anything to protect myself with. I found a very large book sitting on the coffee table and went to grab it. The bathroom door started to open and I prepared to attack if it wasn't Elliot. The figure turned around and I saw that it was Elliot and put the book down slowly.

"Liv were you going to hit me with a book?"

"Uh no I was just reading it."

I saw Elliot look at me funny and I realized my answer had made no sense. I decided to change the subject "I thought you had left."

"No I had to go to the bathroom, were going to be late for work."

I proceeded to walk towards my bedroom and hastily threw on an outfit, and when I came out Elliot was waiting for me in a different outfit. I must have looked completely puzzled because he said "I had some clothes in the trunk."

"We should go El or Cragen's going to have our butts stuck on desk duty."

We had just entered the car and I was looking forward to the awkward silence that always hung between us, but then I remembered last night was a date. Not only that but I had fallen asleep on him, I'm sure that didn't help his male ego.

"El, I'm uh sorry I fell asleep on you last night."

"No problem Liv, I fell asleep shortly after you. We both had a long day and just enjoyed each other's company last night."

"El, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, sure Liv anything."

"Do you think I deserve to be alone for the rest of my life?"

Elliot stopped the car abruptly getting a loud honk out of the car behind us "No Liv you don't deserve to be alone, you never will be alone because you have me. That's what partners are for remember," as he grinned at me. Another honk startled us back to the road and Elliot continued driving until we made it to the precinct.

"Elliot. Olivia you're late."

Sorry Cap we got stuck in traffic. Some guy just stopped in the road."

Olivia laughed and then said "yeah sorry Cap."

"Just get to work you two," as he handed them a slip of paper with the victim's name.

It was just another regular day in the office or so they thought. Cragen returned to his office where someone had been waiting patiently for him.

"Captain."

"Agent Porter."

"Let's get down to business," as Cragen shut the door behind him.

Please review. Obviously Porter coming over to Liv's had been no coincidence. I think it was Svengali when Liv took out the crazy follower with the book. She's very dangerous with a book. Thanks for reading.
