Law & Order SVU and everything related belongs to Dick Wolf. The song belongs to Taylor Swift.
Olivia was lying on her bed, unable to sleep, a goofy smile on her face.
Today had been her first date with Elliot. After ten years on the making, it managed to be even more perfect than she expected.
They had asked Cragen not to be on call that night, and after the numerous times they didn't need to be on service but were available the same way on the last ten years, the captain just didn't have the heart to say no.
Six o'clock in the afternoon, not a single minute late, Elliot knocked on her apartment's door holding a huge bouquet of light pink and white roses and the biggest, kindest smile she had ever seen on his face. After Olivia had put the flowers on a vase, they walked out.
All the men she had dated either put their hands on the small of her back to guide her or simply followed her through the hallway, but not Elliot – he took her hand and intertwined their fingers as they walked out of her apartment.
Today was a fairytale
You were the prince
I used to be a damsel in distress
You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six
Today was a fairytale
His dark grey shirt – her favorite one, Olivia noticed – let out his blue eyes. She was worried about the way she looked: she had picked a dress especially to this occasion, even though she didn't usually wear them. She also had more make-up on than she usually did; she didn't put any eye shadow or any of this stuff on to work, just some mascara and eyeliner, so she was wondering that maybe she looked ridiculous. Elliot, on the other hand, had never seen her so beautiful.
They went to this fancy restaurant Olivia always wanted to try, and after ordering their meals they did some small talk. At one point, Elliot looked at her, smiled and said:
- You know, Liv, I don't know why you even bother to buy make-up. You don't need that stuff, really.
Today was a fairytale
I wore a dress
You wore a dark grey t-shirt
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you're around
Olivia blushed. She could lose herself his amazing smile. Elliot looked like he felt deliriously happy, and Olivia felt the same way. If he said the sky was pink, she would probably believe him. It was like high school all over again, but this time it was much better, because it was Elliot who she knew and loved and to whom she would trust her own life. She knew this time she wouldn't be let down.
Today was a fairytale
You've got a smile that takes me to another planet
Every move you make everything you say is right
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
All that I can say is now it's getting so much clearer
Nothing made sense until the time I saw your face
Today was a fairytale
After dinner – when Elliot, always the gentleman, refused to let Olivia pay her part – and a carriage ride through Central Park, they were at her doorstep – they decided to take things slow, so he didn't go upstairs. That fact didn't stop him from, when they said goodbye, giving her a chaste, soft kiss on the lips. Olivia could still feel them tingle even though hours had already passed.
She felt her phone buzz next to her on the bed and looked at it. It was a text from Elliot.
Went to pick up Eli, just got home. I've been thinking about today all the time since I left. I love you. El.
Olivia smiled and giggled.
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
A/N: A short one, but I just had to do it. This song is too cute for words. I hope you liked it! Please review!
