Hey guys! So, I'm in love with Liv/Fitz and this little piece popped up in my mind today. Just a warning: it's my first fic ever ok?!
The first time she said his name, she felt like a naughty school-girl who was flirting with the Queen B's hot boyfriend. Oh, but it felt good. It felt great. It felt inappropriate.
But it was crossing a line.
All the other times she, later on that same day, whispered his name (cause she couldn't scream it or Cyrus could hear her from the next room) were both a delight and a haunt, for the two of them.
It was just a name. His name. Fitz.
Oh, but it meant so much.
For her it meant he was free. He wasn't Governor Grant, the handsome intelligent man who she would soon make President. He was just a common man and that meant he could be hers. She took her habit, her barrier, of calling him by his title when he did became President. And she always called him Mr. President. It was her way of coping. Her cruel yet necessary reminder that even if he loved her, he couldn't be with her.
For him it was frustrating. He couldn't for his own sake figure out why she wouldn't call him by his name, even if it sounded so right in her soft, sweet voice. He always wanted her to call him by his name, and the rare times that she did, it was a joy. His name said by her could be a lovely greeting or the dirtiest of words. He remembered every single time she allowed herself to say it. Every night before sleeping, he replayed in his mind all the times his name had escaped her lips. How he had made her repeat it endlessly on that wonderful night.
He just can't wait, he's counting the weeks, the days, till he can get rid of his goddamn title so she doesn't have an excuse. Then she would be forced to say his name. And then his porpose in life would be to hear her say it, preferably a thousand times a day to make up for all the times she couldn't.
But that wouldn't be enough for him, no.
Olivia Pope is a beautiful name. Strong, fearless. But laying down at night, thinking, they simultaneously came to the same conclusion: Olivia Grant would be way much better.
