Christopher MeloniandMariska Hargitayhave built plenty of onscreen chemistry over the past two decades.

Meloni, 60,posted a steamy selfieof the two of them gazing into each other’s eyes, with their noses touching and their lips less than an inch apart.

Well, it appears that the Internet has officially ended, as Meloni followed through. “#Rehearsing what @Mariska?” he wrote with the photo.

Meloni and Hargitay previously opened up to PEOPLE about their onscreen chemistry and reuniting in front of the camera. “It was Pavlovian: Ring that bell, and youget right into Stabler and Benson,” he said in February.

“There was so much shorthand between us, which all goes back to the trust we have,” Hargitay mused. “He’s always made me feel like I could just jump off the ledge, the cliff, the bridge, and he would catch me, in so many ways, whether it was comedy or acting or friendship.” Meloni added: “It’s simple. We have each other’s back.”
