11 reason George Huang and Elliot Stabler are in love
They weren’t vain in the classic sense. But they were proud. They knew they were good at their jobs. They knew they were valuable to SVU. They didn’t take it too far, usually.
Sometimes, though it got out of hand. Occasionally Elliot would boast about his physical strength, when he intimidated a suspect: the testosterone was just too much. And sometimes George couldn’t help but feel proud when his profiles were correct despite the team’s insistence that he was wrong.
They knew that pride was only human, that it couldn’t be helped. They also knew they could manage their feelings.
