Chapter Text
It was incredibly hectic in SVU today. Olivia and Elliot were non-stop between interviewing and arresting. There was victims after victims but they just could not seem to get the right guy. There had been 5 new victims in just 3 days. It was chaos. And the cherry on top…
“I cant get you a search warrant!” Casey yelled
…Casey novak was pissed. No one knew why. Not even Olivia, in-fact, Olivia was making it worse. This was because olivia was constantly in and out of Caseys office pressing her for search warrants that was impossible to get. Olivia had no grounds to get most of them on. This drove Casey so mad that Olivia forced Elliot the last 2 times to go in for warrants. So there he was, stood in the middle of the A.D.A’s office.
“Novak, hes going to strike again we have three of 5 women in the hospital at the moment, this mans phone pinged near where our recent victim was staying. Give me a damn warrant!!” Elliot yelled back
“His phone pinging isn't a reason to tear his house apart! You don't have a nexus for a start how on earth do you expect me to get you a warrant. So go get me something to work with.” Casey shot at him, stern and very obviously pissed
He looked casey dead in the eye. She cocked her eyebrow, silently challenging him. Then the door creaked. It was olivia.
“Detective Benson” casey sighed
Olivia furrowed her eyebrows. She chose to ignore this from casey. She turned her head to elliot
“Elliot, stakeout.” Olivia said
Elliot nods and headed out, leaving the pair alone for a second. Olivia looked at casey, nothing but worry coating her face. Casey finally glanced up. Liv shook her head and left.
—————(stakeout)
Elliot and Olivia had been there for over four hours now. Right outside the suspects house. It was now nearly dark. All Olivia could think is not one call or text from casey came in.
“Five victims, three of them in hospital and we’re sat here freezing our assets off because hot-headed Novak couldn't just get us a warrant.” Elliot grumbled
“Well we are lacking evidence..shes right, legally.” Olivia defended
Elliot side eyed her.
“Shes so pissed shes calling you ‘detective benson’… its always ‘liv’ or just your name how are you so calm” he asked
“I dont know- there he is!” Olivia jolted
Elliot and olivia put their cups down.
“Suspect out. Black jacket, blue jeans, combat boots and a red hat.” Elliot spoke into his walkie
“Hm look. Our man hasn't washed his jeans” olivia said as she was getting out of the car.
Elliot peered and saw the dark stains splattered kn the side of the mans jeans.
“Approaching suspect, visible blood”
———————- skip 4hrs
After four hours of fin and munch drilling the suspect for information, he cracked. Along with Casey who got a warrant. Evidence was found and sent to the lab. Olivia had just finished some paperwork. She had to go to Caseys office. After all she had drove casey to work..and she was eager to hear what was wrong with Casey. Olivia stood up and headed for Casey's office. She softly knocked the door and opened it. She carefully leaned on the frame and stared at casey who hadn't even looked up.
“What?” Casey said sternly.
Olivia pouted a little, saying nothing. She wanted casey to look at her. Casey’s head rose and looked toward olivia.
“Oh, hey benson” Casey shot her a very weak smile.
Olivia came in, gently shutting the door behind her.
“Hey yourself” Olivia spoke at last
The air was slightly thick. Casey knew how she had treated Olivia that whole day was wrong. Olivia sat at Casey's desk.
“Casey, whats up honey?” Olivia questioned, and set her folded hands on Caseys desk.
“Nothing… well. I don't know, Olivia” casey croaked
her lips folded into a line.
“Whats going on inside that little head thats made you cranky all day?” Olivia asked
Casey let out a dry chuckle. Olivia was always the first to make her laugh. But still, casey didn't talk.
“I mean, you’ve yelled everyone countless times today especially me i don't think I've ever seen you as riled up as this case” Olivia stated
“Well you are the most annoying one” casey smiled
Olivia laughed, glad casey was making jokes.
“I dont know olivia, and im sorry. I think it was the pressure and the constant nagging. Everyone blames me for all of that but i legally couldn’t get you a warrant with no nexus.” She spoke
“It’s alright hon i know. Tell you what, let’s head off, we’ll grab a bite and head home?” Olivia smiled
Casey nodded happily. The two girls stood up and headed for the door. They walked through the squad room.
“But you are the most annoying one, i mentally sigh when i see you at that door” casey said
“No you mentally sigh and think ‘gee how lucky am i that i have olivia benson at my door everyday’” olivia chuckled
Casey rolled her eyes. They both clocked out and headed to the car.
“But gee how lucky an i that i have olivia benson driving me home” casey joked
“Yeah but thats not as fun cause we live in the same Appartement” olivia playfully sighed
—————————-
Olivia was over the moon to finally be home. Casey even more so. The pair had sprinted up the stairs to change their clothes.
The night felt perfect. Casey was bundled up closely into Olivia's side while Olivia quietly laid soft kisses on Casey's head as they watched tv and ate.
“This foods calling a close second on my loving scale.” Casey said
“Why whats first?” Olivia laughed
“You, stupid” casey replied, eyes not leaving the tv
Olivia giggled.
“Spoken like Shakespeare himself” olivia smiled
Casey finally looked up at olivia.
“Yuh huh. Kiss” casey said
Olivia granted her wish and instantly leaned in. They kissed gently. They slowly broke apart, Casey's eyes sparkled
“Ew i could taste your food” Olivia said jokingly.
She was staring into Caseys eyes. Casey laughed, smacking Olivia's arm gently.
“i dont know what you’re complaining about, liv this is good.” She smiled
They kissed again. Casey snaked her hand into Olivia’s hair. Once apart Olivia laid back smiling to herself. Casey scoffed.
“You’ve been waiting all day to kiss me.” Casey said
“And so what” olivia smirked
“Mm nothing. Could’ve done it earlier but nah nothing” casey pouted her bottom lip with the ‘mm’
“Ah yes i should’ve kissed you while you were screaming at me like a psycho, i think everyone was genuinely scared for my safety while i was in there” olivia said
“Perfect just how i like it” casey chuckled
She got comfortable again and put her food container on the floor.
“I better never move from first” olivia said quietly
“Never, benson” casey replied, the tiredness now showing in her voice
They sat like that for a short while. Until olivia heard snores coming from her. Olivia stood.
“bedtime, case.” Olivia said quietly
Olivia reached for the remote and turned the tv off. She then picked casey up. Caseys head fell against olivias chest which woke her. Casey fluttered her eyes.
“Agh liv i can walk” casey croaked
“Too late now” olivia replied
They got to the room and olivia chucked her on the bed. The pair went off and brushed their teeth before climbing into bed. They needed the sleep to prepare themselves for whatever tomorrow would bring on. The two hoped it wouldn't be anything like today.
