A/N: This came to me while watching 'Nationwide Manhunt' and 'The Song of Gregory Williams Yates' the other night. I don't own any of the characters.

Only You

Olivia dreaded this trip to Chicago. They were searching for Yates, who had escaped from prison but she knew this visit was going to be particularly hard since she knew how Hank felt about her but she had recently started seeing Tucker. When she and Fin arrived, they hugged everyone and she and Hank both nodded at each other.

"It's been a long time."

"Yeah, it has."

"When you have a minute, we need to talk."

"Ok."

They followed whatever leads they had. Hank told Erin to stay at the District but she disobeyed orders and went to find Yates on her own. After she shot him and the case was over, Hank told Olivia he'd meet her at Molly's. Olivia had a drink with Erin.

"Liv, are you ok? You seem nervous."

"I am nervous. I just recently started seeing someone and I need to tell Hank because I know he has feelings for me."

"Do you have any idea how hurt he is going to be?"

"I know."

"How do you feel about Hank?"

"I care about him but it's the distance between us that I don't know if I can handle. I don't know what to do. I probably shouldn't be dating the guy I'm dating. He's with IAB."

"Oh, Liv, not IAB! You have to tell him the truth about how you really feel about him before you break his heart."

"He's going to hate me."

"I don't think he could ever hate you. He might think you're crazy for dating someone from IAB. Does anyone know about this?"

"No."

Hank came in and once Olivia saw him, her stomach was in knots.

"Erin, I can't do this."

"Yes, you can. You have to."

Hank came over to them.

"Ladies."

"Hey."

"Did you want to talk here?"

"Actually, no."

"You don't want to talk here?"

"It's kind of loud."

"We can go to my place."

"Ok."

Olivia looked at Erin.

"Erin, remember, my phone is always on if you ever need anything."

"I know. Thanks for everything, Liv."

"No problem."

Olivia grabbed her coat and then she and Hank headed toward the door. Fin saw them heading out.

"Everything ok, Liv?"

"Yeah. I need to talk to Hank about something."

"Ok."

The left Molly's and Hank drove home. Erin had joined everyone else after they left and their Bosses had become the topic of conversation, since they all knew they both felt something for each other. When Hank arrived at the house, they got out of his SUV and went inside. After they took their coats off, they sat down on the sofa.

"What's on your mind, Benson?"

Olivia still didn't know how she was going to tell Hank about her and Tucker when in reality she wanted to be with Hank in every sense of the word.

"Benson?"

"What?"

"What's on your mind?"

"I don't even know anymore. I want you Hank, I really do but I don't know if I can handle us being 800 miles apart. You deserve better and someone you can see all the time."

"Olivia, I don't care about the distance. I never have. What do you mean I deserve better? How do you know what I need?"

"I'm bad in relationships and they never really last. I don't want that to happen with you. You mean too much to me."

"I was in one serious relationship for over 20 years. Until I met you, dating again never even crossed my mind. There's just something about you that makes me want to get involved with someone again and I want that someone to be you. I get that I'm in Chicago and you're in New York but I will spend any amount of money just so I can see you."

Olivia knew she was going to have to tell Hank and she knew he'd be crushed. She had tears running down her cheeks.

"What's wrong?"

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"I don't want to hurt you."

"Why would you hurt me?"

"Because I just recently started seeing someone."

"Oh. Is it serious?"

"Not really. I don't know that I even want to pursue anything with him."

"Stay with me tonight."

"What? Are you serious?"

"I am very serious."

"Hank, I just told you that I was seeing someone."

"I heard you. It still doesn't change how I feel about you and you said you weren't sure you wanted to pursue something with this guy."

"I didn't even tell you the best part."

"What's that?"

"He's with IAB."

"Oh, geez, Benson! That's not good."

"I know. I don't care about that anymore. I just want to be with someone that will love both me and my son."

"I will. You have my word."

They looked into each other's eyes, leaned closer to each other and started kissing.

"I'm in love with you, Olivia and I have been in love with you since the moment I met you. I want to be with you."

"I want to be with you too but what about the distance?"

"I don't give a damn about the distance. Just let me show you how much I want to be with you and maybe that will influence your decision about wanting to pursue things with that IAB guy."

"You just want to get me in bed, don't you?"

"Olivia, I can't believe you'd say that. This isn't something I take lightly. I am truly in love with you. I have not felt this way about a woman since my wife."

"I can't do this, Hank. It's not right."

Olivia got up and grabbed her coat.

"Olivia, please don't go!"

She went outside, called Fin and had him come get her. The entire time she was waiting for Fin, she had tears running down her cheeks. By the time Fin picked her up, she was still in tears. He knew not to ask her any questions but he wanted to know why his Boss and friend was upset. The ride to the hotel was quiet and when they arrived, they went to their rooms in silence. Olivia got ready for bed and cried herself to sleep, while Fin called Hank.

"Voight."

"It's Fin. What happened with you and Liv? She called me to come pick her up and she was in tears the entire ride to the hotel."

"You'll have to ask her that."

"I better not find out that you hurt her in any way."

"I'm the one that got hurt. I told her how I felt about her and how much I wanted to be with her and she tells me there's someone else. She also said she doesn't know she wants to pursue anything with this IAB guy."

"IAB guy? Oh, hell no! Liv better not be dating that ass. She should be with you. We all know you two have feelings for each other."

"That's the thing. She said she has feelings for me but I deserve better and she doesn't want me to get hurt because she's not good in relationships."

"If she isn't sure she wants to pursue something with Tucker, then why the hell is she even involved with him? That's just messed up even for Liv. Not to mention wrong. That son of a bitch tried taking her badge on several occasions and despised both of her former partners. He helped rescue her from Joe Utley, so now he thinks he can weasel his way into her life and eventually her bed? I rescued her from a guy who had every intention to rape her when we were undercover in a prison, her as an inmate and me as a guard. I did it because I care about her and not because I wanted to start a relationship with her. Being in a relationship with Tucker would just cause her a lot of headaches. The man can't be trusted."

"I made my feelings perfectly clear to her but she turned me down. I want to be with her and she knows that."

"I'll talk to her. Thanks, Voight."

"Yeah."

Fin hung up the phone and then he debated whether or not to go talk to Olivia. He decided to wait until morning. Hank went up to bed and tried to figure out what went wrong. The next morning, Fin had texted Olivia to ask her to meet him for breakfast. She replied that she really didn't want to because she needed to be alone until they left for the airport. He decided that if she wasn't going to cooperate, he'd go to her room to get to the bottom of the situation. He went to her room and knocked on the door. When she opened it, she was still dressed for bed and was a complete mess.

"I already told you that I didn't want to talk, Fin."

"Sorry, Liv but I know what happened last night."

"How much do you know?"

"Oh, I know plenty. Why the hell are you dating Tucker?"

"I don't have to answer to you, Fin and really, it's none of your business."

"Oh, no? Who rescued your ass from Lowell Harris at Sealview? Who was there for you after everything Lewis put you through? Tucker doesn't care about anyone but himself. He never has. He has put SVU through hell for years but now all of a sudden you're dating him? What the hell is wrong with you? Why the hell would you tell Voight you have feelings for him and then turn around and tell him that you don't want to hurt him because you're not good in relationships? Did you ever think that maybe the reason why your relationship never work out is because the men you get involved with aren't good enough for you? Hell, I'd rather see you get involved with Langan before Tucker and I never liked him much either but at least he gave up being a Defense Attorney when he helped you with Noah's adoption. You dating Tucker is just twisted even for you."

"Ed isn't the same man he once was."

"That's a bunch of shit and you know it as well as I do. I'd trust him about as much as I'd trust Johnny D."

"I trust him."

"Why? From what Voight said you weren't even sure you wanted to pursue something with Tucker."

"He said he cares about me and Noah."

"You can believe that all you want, Liv but he doesn't. He's the same sleaze he always has been. I wouldn't trust him for anything."

"It would never work with Hank."

"How do you know unless you try? Voight said he made his feelings perfectly clear to you. Give the guy a chance. For crying out loud, I know how pissed you got when Yates was saying that shit about him in court."

"Please leave, Fin."

"Whatever."

Fin left and then Olivia got back into bed after she shut the door. All she could think about was the conversation she and Hank had and the kiss they had shared the night before. Maybe Fin was right about Tucker. She knew Fin cared about her and she knew Hank cared about her but she really wasn't sure Tucker did. She went to take a shower, got ready and then she took a cab to the District. When she arrived, she went in and Trudy buzzed her up. When she got up to Intelligence, Hank was the only one there, so she went into his office.

"I'm sorry for last night."

"Are you?"

"Yes. All I can think about is the conversation and the kiss from last night. I don't want to go back to New York with the way things are between us. Before we leave this afternoon, I want to spend some time together."

"Meaning what?"

"Meaning I want to take you up on your other offer from last night. I want to be with you too."

"Are you just saying this or do you really want us to go to the next step?"

"I really want us to go to the next step. If you're willing to give this a shot then so am I."

"Let's go before everyone else gets here."

Hank grabbed his jacket and then he and Olivia left to head to his house. When they got there, they took their coats off and headed up to the bedroom. Hank locked the door and they started kissing. They undressed each other, got on the bed and made love. Afterwards they were under the covers holding each other.

"Olivia, I love you."

"I love you too, Hank. I'm glad we did this."

"Me too."

"I'm going to talk to Ed when I get home and I'm going to tell him that I don't think it is going to work out. I want to be with you and only you."

"Fin talked to you, didn't he?"

"Yep. I guess the next step is introducing you to Noah."

"I'd like to introduce you to Justin too."

"Ok. Do you think he'll like me?"

"What's not to like? If I like you, I'm sure he will."

"Noah will probably like you too."

"Has he met Tucker yet?"

"Not yet. I want him to meet you though."

"Good. I want you to meet my son and grandson."

"I can't wait."

Hank and Olivia started kissing and then they made love again. Hank called in and said he'd be around later. He and Olivia stayed in bed until it was time for her to meet Fin to leave for the airport. He drove her to the hotel and went up to her room with her. She got her stuff together and Hank waited with her until Fin came to get her. When Fin knocked on the door, Olivia opened it. Hank kissed Olivia and then he patted Fin on the back on his way out. Fin started smirking and then he took her suitcase. They left for the airport for their trip back to New York, while Hank headed to work. He had a feeling the squad already knew and he was sure Olivia's squad would know soon as well, especially since Fin already knew. The next step for Olivia was telling Tucker everything.

Reviews and suggestions are appreciated. There will probably be a second part to this.
