Partners Or Lovers?

Brad

I couldn't just let what we had be taken away from us. I couldn't let some stupid rule keep us apart. It won't keep us apart!
Olivia stands up and walks to the coffee machine, I see Cragen talking to Finn by his desk.
When she comes back and puts a coffee on my desk I thank her and stand up.
I see Cragen looking over at us.
This is the perfect time.
I grab her by her waist and pull her close to my body. I kiss her soft coffee tasting lips. I hear a few gasps go around the squad room, that only makes her laugh, and break the kiss.
I cup her face and kiss her again.
She pulls back and smiles
"What are you doing?" She asks whilst giggling
"Yeah stabler. What are you pulling here?!" Cragen asks
"I'm pulling my lady!" I joke. I hold her body close to mine.
"Smooth!" She nods sarcastically.
"Stabler, I told you 10 minutes ago to break this off! What are you playing at?" He says
"I'm not, not going to be with her just because you say we can't!" I protest
"IAB will be notified" he continues
"I don't care" I say
"You could lose your job" he says
"I still don't care" I say
"El, I do. I don't want you to lose your job just because of me" she says, she moves out of my arms. "Maybe cap is right" she says
"Liv.. What are you saying?" I ask
"He is right, we shouldn't be together. Maybe we should just be partners" she says.
She moves away from us and smiles at me as she leaves the room.

Olivia's POV.
I needed to get out of there. Those words were so hard to say. I had to get out of there. I walk to the cribs and lock the door. I close the blinds so no one who walks past knows I'm in here.
I sit down on one of the beds and out my head in my hands. I feel like crying, but I can't.
The man I have loved for years, finally tells me he loves me, and now I can't have him. I want him to be mine. I want him to want me to be his. I want us. Fuck IAB! Fuck Cragen.
But I know that we can't be together. I know that we just are partners. Maybe that's all we were meant to be. And what happened on the roof, and last night. Maybe that was just a moment of weakness. Maybe we weren't meant to be after all.

Elliot's POV.
I walk away from Cragen, even though he was still attempting to talk to me. I try to find Liv, I need to speak to her.
I go straight to the cribs. I see that the blinds are shut, so she is probably in there. I open the door and see her siting on one of the beds in the corner. She stands up and walks to me.
"Liv.. What are we going to do?" I ask. I form really want to know the answer.
"We have to move on. We have to move on, from each other. We can't be together and we need to accept that" she says
I ,again, literally feel my heart smashing, like a hammer that had been brought with great force to a mirror. I'm surprised you can't physically hear it breaking.
"Okay" I whisper. I don't really know what else to say. I hug her tightly.
And that was the end of that.

2 months later...

I still have feelings for her. They will never go away. But I have to hide them away. I can't let anyone see how I really feel inside. Especially now. Especially because of Brad.
Brad was a new detective to SVU, but he had worked with me before she joined SVU. We were really go friends.
They had grown closer. And it broke my heart to see the one I love, being loved by someone else.

I stand up to get a cup of coffee. Brad walks over to me.
"Hey Elliot. I have a question" he says
"Yeah, what's up" I try to play it cool, but all I really want to do is burn this son of a bitch with this hot coffee.
"Do you think I have a shot with liv?"He asks.
The only way I can describe this feeling is; I want to gouache his eyes out, make him eat them, and.....
"So?" He asks bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Erm.." How do I reply to this?
"I don't know" I answer. I can't tell him to go for it. But I can't tell him to stay away from her.
She has clearly moved on.

Olivia's POV.
I can't move on. It's been 2 months and I'm no where near over him. I love him so much.
But he has clearly moved on. It's not fair.
I see Brad walking over to me, after talking to Elliot.
"Hey liv. I was wondering  if you would like to go out with me?" He asks out of no where.
Wow! Okay! Ermmmmm....
"Sure" I reply quickly.
Well Elliot has clearly moved on, so should I. And Brad is such a sweet guy!
"Okay, well we can go out when we leave here?" He asks
"Erm.. Yeah okay" I reply.
