Mini A/O Headcanon
A little headcanon in honor of SVU episode 4x22.
(Olivia gets punched in the eye by a suspect)
How Alex wants to respond:
(Olivia walks into her office and she pales at the blue bruise starting around Olivia's hemorrhaged eye. She stands, closes her door, takes Olivia's hand, and drags Olivia to the couch.)
Alex stands in front of Olivia, lifting the detective’s face, and eyeing the bruise. "Shit..." She curses under her breath.
Olivia smirks a little. "I'm fine."
Alex turns Olivia's face to the side and touches the area, tenderly tracing the outer edge of the bruise along Olivia's orbital bone. Her brow furrows deeper and deeper.
"Alex, it's fine. Hazard of the job. Definitely not the first time I've been hit." Olivia tries to pull away from Alex's grasp but Alex holds her still.
"Does it hurt?" Alex continues inspecting the bruise, pressing gently to see if the bone is still intact.
Olivia grimaces. "It does when you poke it."
"Did you make sure it wasn't fractured?"
"Warner checked it out. It's good."
"Did you at least ice it?"
Olivia takes Alex's wrist. "Sat in Warner's office for forty minutes with a cold pack on my face. It looks worse than it is."
"I'm adding assault of an officer to his charges."
"To piss off the defense?"
"No...because I'm angry."
Olivia smiles and kisses her. Then she lays in Alex’s lap, happy to take a break from work. (and they live happily ever after)
How Alex actually responds:
Olivia walks in and Alex looks up from her desk, instantly noticing the detective’s eye.
"Bad day, huh?"
With a smirk Olivia sits on the couch.
"How bad did it hurt?"
"...enough."

Listen gotham had some truly atrocious storylines and some truly scary ableism, but when it was good, it was a damn good show
