"Liv?"

"Hmm?"

"Olivia."

"What?" she asked sleepily, head rolling to the other side of the pillow to see the face of a very concerned Elliot Stabler.

"I was watching tv and fell asleep, didn't get Fin's message until an hour ago. He said you got exposed to some poisonous gas and passed out. How are you doing? Are you alright?"

Olivia smiled. "Slow down there. I'm fine."

"But you're in the hospital."

"I woke right back up. Doctor just wanted to keep me overnight for observation."

Elliot sighed. "You sure you're good?"

She nodded, covering a yawn with her hand. "Yep. Go on and get out of here. You're still recovering, too."

"Alright, we'll, I, uh, I'll see you soon."

"See ya," Olivia said softly.

When her eyes drifted closed, Elliot headed for the door. He was almost to the parking lot when he abruptly turned around, walking until he reached her bedside once more.

He leaned down, saying softly, "I don't know what I'd do if something happened to you, you know? You gotta be more careful, Benson. I care about you too much to lose you."

Elliot brushed her bangs to the side and kissed her forehead. He scanned her face for any sign of pain or discomfort before turning around, intending to leave.

"That lovely speech and all I get is a forehead kiss?"

He jumped a little at her voice. "What?"

Olivia chuckled as he faced her once more. "Come on, Stabler."

"Liv, I'm not sure I understand."

"I care about you, too."

"Are you, what are you saying?"

She rolled her eyes. "I love you, idiot. Now, get over here and kiss me properly."

Elliot happily obliged her.
