WTF Is Schmoop? 18/29
Title: Valentine
Fandom: Jossverse
Pairing Willow/Alex Cabot (Law & Order: SVU)
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Not mine. These ladies belong to other people. I’m toying with them for a bit of recreational fun and to challenge my sanity.
Summary: It’s funny how dying will land you in the strangest places.
Valentine
The restaurant was exactly what a New York restaurant wouldn’t be. The furniture was aged, not in the Tribeca or SoHo way that gave those places their charm, but in a way that said the place wasn’t going to change. The lighting was too dark to be considered intimate, the music too loud and the decorations too gaudy.
In fact, Alex surmised, a year ago, she wouldn’t have been caught dead in a place like this, but, she supposes that’s the problem. She is dead or at least Alexandra Natalie Cabot, Assistant District Attorney of New York City, is dead. Now she is Karen Donner, CPA. Boring name for the boring life the Witness Protection Program gave her. Her reason for being here—well, Willow wasn’t something she expected to find in Cleveland, Ohio.
She was really glad she did though. Willow was her only bright spot in her fairly mundane life. The redhead was smart, quick on her feet and with her tongue. She was also the most engaging, caring and gorgeous person she’d met since meeting Olivia Benson when Alex started at S.V.U. years ago.
So here she was listening to the redhead babble on about the latest bit of antics her friend Xander had gotten into at the school she ran. She grinned when Willow reached across the table and took her hand. “You okay?” the redhead asked.
Alex nodded, but didn’t say anything as she laced their hands together.
“Are you sure, Karen?” Willow looked around the restaurant and grimaced. “Okay, so like, maybe this wasn’t the best place to come for Valentine’s Day, but it looked like fun. We could go somewhere that’s else. I’m sure we can get a table somewhere with less…” Willow’s face scrunched as she took in the varying shades of pink streamers. “…pink.”
Alex shook her head. “I’m fine. Perfect actually.”
A slim, red eyebrow arched in response. “You’re lying,” Willow teased and stuck her tongue out at her girlfriend.
Alex warmed at the gesture. “Okay, so, it’s very festive. I’ll give you that, but you’re here and so, it’s where I want to be.” She ran her thumb along the other woman’s palm and worked her pantyhose covered foot up and down the back of Willow’s toned calf.
“’Kay, well, uhm, maybe after this you can come back to my…” Willow trailed off and shuddered as Alex’s foot crept a little higher and pressed against her thigh.
“Your…?” Alex asked playfully, sipping at the wine she’d ordered with her dinner.
“Uh, my place,” Willow squeaked.
“I’d love to,” Alex readily agreed.
Willow beamed at the reply. Alex may be stuck in this Godforsaken city, but she had a beautiful girl to go home with and an evening spent in her arms to look forward too.
