"Wow. I can't believe someone actually tried out this position and didn't die..."

"What are you looking at?", she walked over to her couch, taking a seat next to him.

"Look!", he moved the laptop to sit on both of their laps, pointing at a picture on the screen. The both of them tilted their heads to get a better look at the picture, a look of disgust flashing across both of their faces.

"Oh... we're definitely not trying that one. At all. Ever."

"Ever!", he agreed. "Liv, how is this supposed to work anyways?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like... how do we not make this weird? What can and can't we do? What should we be doing?"

"Fitz, I'm confused...", she straightened herself as she turned towards him. "Please don't tell me he's chickening out..."

"I mean... are we supposed to kiss? Do we undress each other or do we undress ourselves? Are we supposed to enjoy it? Like... what are we supposed to do?"

"Hmm...", she tapped her fingers to her chin as she pondered for a moment. "I don't know. I mean, I didn't really think about it. Maybe we should have rules? Yes, we should definitely have rules...", she popped out of her seat and grabbed her iPad from it's charger in her office before returning to join him in the living room. "Any suggestions?"

"You go first.."

"Well, safety is definitely a must."

"Condoms?"

"Yeah.."

"Are you still on the pill?", he asked, knowing that she had been on birth control, as he had had to pick up her prescription from the pharmacy a few times in the past years. "You know, in case of emergency...", he said quickly when he noticed her staring at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah... should I be buying your condoms, or..."

"Don't worry about it... should there be like... foreplay?"

"Foreplay? I think it'll make it a bit awkward.."

"It's already gonna be awkward Liv..."

"Shut up! Next question?"

"How are we gonna pick positions? I mean, I think you should definitely pick. This is your project. I'm just your sex slave for the next year..", he laughed.

"You're so not!", she joined in his laughter. "You should have a say too! Don't you think?"

"I wouldn't mind…"

"Okay, how about this.. I'll give you the honors of picking the first one and whoever 'finishes' second gets to pick the next one…"

"Liv..", he raised an eyebrow as he watched a smug smile spread across he face. "Are you saying that if I make you come first, I get to pick the next position?"

"Yes. I doubt that'll ever happen, but fair is fair…"

"You're full of shit!", her tickled her, causing her to scream out in laughter.

"Okay okay! I'm sorry! I was joking! But it's a pretty decent rule."

"It is. Is there anything off limits for you?"

"Nothing dangerous. Nothing that will cause either of us bodily harm. And nothing anal.."

"Anal? Seriously Liv? You think I would.."

"Hey! I don't know what you're in to!"

"Not that. Well, I wouldn't know, but…"

"Anyways…", she tried to change the subject, "Anything off limits for you?"

"Nope. Just nothing too weird. How is this supposed to go with relationships?"

"Relationships?", she asked a bit confused.

"I mean, should we stay single, or…"

"Or…"

"I'm not really sure I'd be able to explain to someone that I'm sleeping with my friend for a project for work. AND adding someone else to the mix could definitely bring along risk for diseases."

"Fitzgerald Grant, are you saying that you, Mr. Hot Stuff that switches women like underwear, are willing to give up relationships AND commit to me and only me sexually for a whole entire year?", she questioned him mockingly.

"Cut the crap Liv! You know I'm not a player! I just like to explore my options.", he ducked as she threw one of the decorative pillows on the couch at him. "And honestly, a year couldn't be that bad. At least I have you all to myself…", he grinned at her, causing her to blush.

They had been friends since they were in diapers, growing up living next door to one another. Her parents, Maya and Rowan Pope, raised their daughter on a combined salary as a elementary school teacher and a heart surgeon, respectively. His parents, Elaine and Fitzgerald Grant II, were both therapists. Their parents were all good friends, spending lots of holidays, game nights, and special occasions with one another.

Both were only children. Fitz had often escaped to the Pope household when his parents had began to drive him crazy with their psychological views on just about everything when it came to raising him. Olivia would often have dinner with the Grants when her mother was away at educational seminars and her father had to attend to unexpected surgeries. They were the same age, Fitz only a few months older, and they were basically inseparable since birth.

They attended the same schools and had been classmates a few times. Together, they dominated their schools, especially when it came to high school. They were both very popular, using their social status to help influence their peers to raise money for fundraisers and volunteer in community service projects. They challenged each other academically, Olivia eventually being named their high school valedictorian, with Fitz ranking in place right behind her. But, they both took home a crown after their senior prom.

They eventually left home and attended the same college, sharing an apartment together with Fitz studying film and Olivia studying writing. They came to each other with all of their relationship issues, Fitz usually wiping away the tears and indulging in a night of Ben & Jerry's when Olivia ended up heartbroken and Olivia usually having to find out all of the information on whichever new girl Fitz seemed to be interested in. They shared an overwhelmingly close bond, but they had always been platonic. They were basically soul mates in friendship form. Knowing so much about one another made this arrangement so much easier; they were confident Olivia's project could be completed without any issues.

"Okay loverboy, let's not make this anymore weirder than it already is. So here's how this is gonna work…"

They sat discussing how everything would work, making it comfortable for the both of them while still ensuring that Olivia was able to end up with a great product. They decided that it would be best for Fitz to remain completely anonymous, to both readers and their coworkers and friends. They would both write about their experience with the position they tried: what they liked or disliked about it, where they felt the most stimulation and any alternatives. Then, they would give it a rating, which ranged from 0 to 5 stars.

They would try to do 365 positions throughout the whole year. Fitz figured it would be a good idea for them to start off using one position, then gradually adding more, so they could complete their goal in time, factoring in the days that Olivia would have her monthly or they just weren't in the mood.

"Music?"

"Pandora."

"Fitz, do you really think I wanna hear someone blabbing about some technical school in the middle of me getting on my swerve on?"

"The 'swerve' will be so great, you won't even notice the commercials."

"Get outta here!", she giggled, leading him over to the front door, "I'll see you for our appointment in the morning and DON'T be late!"

After a long week of them waiting to hear back from the doctor's office, the both of them receiving negative test results; having Huck set up an age-restricted section of the site and Olivia compiling a long list of positions that they could choose from, Mr. Swedelson had given her green light to finally begin her project.


AN: The feedback for the first chapter was amazing! I'm really glad you all enjoyed this idea and I'm definitely excited about writing it. It took me some time because I haven't been in much of a mood of writing lately, BUT I've had majority of this chapter written from before I even posted the first one. So, it is a bit short because I was so out of it towards the end lol. Majority of you guys chose for there to be some Olitz action in this story, and to not base it off one shots, which I definitely have no problem with. The smut is definitely coming next chapter and you are all free to request/suggest positions that should be used! I plan to update this, as well as Rescue Me and Oliver & Company whenever I get my mojo back, so hang tight!
