I've decided to turn this into a collection of my one shots and other random pieces that I have saved on my computer just because it'll be nice to have them all in one place. I'm still moving things over from Tumblr (it's taking me forever) but I believe that this is one of the last ones and then I'll start uploading new content.

This one is a Tumblr prompt from corinnestark about Olitz's first public date.


"This is…nice." Olivia says, fiddling with the lace at the bottom of her chiffon dress, trying to ignore all of the cameras pointed their way.

Fitz smirks at her, nodding his head as he throws another handful of her popcorn into his mouth, focusing intently on the present entertainment.

"When you said that we were going on a date that would take me out of my comfort zone, I thought that you meant we going somewhere that specialized in food that I usually don't eat…like sushi." She complains tight-lipped, trying not to let her frustration show on her face.

"Well, you were partially right. You don't usually eat hot dogs."

"Fitz!" She hisses, trying to keep a smile on her face and command all of his attention at once. "I don't even like basketball."

He turns to her, caressing her cheek with a smile, finally giving her the attention that she wanted.

"You said public." Fitz explains.

"I did but-"

"This is public, is it not?" He continues.

"But Fitz…" Olivia whines causing him to chuckle.

"I called Jay and he said that-"

"You called who?" Olivia interrupts, her face scrunched in confusion as she flips through her mental Rolodex of his friends.

"Jay Z. Anyway-"

"You're not on a nickname basis with Jay Z." Olivia pipes up again but instead of answering her, this time he goes on.

"Anyway, Jay said that when Bey wants a casual night out, they go to a basketball game.

"You don't know Beyoncé on a nickname basis either."

"Olivia." He warns, spotting the twinkle in her eye from the joy that she experienced from his annoyance.

She smiles brightly at him, loving that she knew exactly how to press his buttons.

"I don't like basketball." She states again. "This was a terrible first date idea."

Fitz shakes his head at her and puts his arm around her shoulders, pulling her body into his. She's rigid at first, her mind immediately going to all of the court side cameras but after a while her body relaxes to the idea of being a normal couple that was just enjoying a game. Once she settles, Fitz leans down to whisper into her ear.

"If we had gone anywhere else all of this PDA would seem overboard. I wouldn't be able to kiss you like I will when our team makes a basket. I wouldn't be able to wrap my arms around you and let everyone in the world know that you're mine and that I'm yours. I wouldn't be able to share popcorn with you like we do in our living room or have you practically in my lap without seeming out of place. This way, we have all of the media's attention while still being able to be us and a plus is that we didn't have to shut down the entire place like we would have if we'd gone out for dinner. You said public and it doesn't get more public than this."

Olivia nods, melting into his touch a little bit more.

"Does that mean that I have to pay attention?"

He chuckles at her and kisses her forehead.

"Not if you don't want to but when the guys in red make a basket, pretend to be really happy about it so that we have a reason to kiss in front of all of these people."

She turns her face up so that she can look into his eyes.

"Fitzgerald Grant, I think that you might be a bit of a exhibitionist." She exclaims in fake indignation.

He nods, smirking at her.

"I'd do a whole lot more if I could." He whispers back at her with a smile.

She laughs, tucking herself back into her arms, focusing on the blur of bodies moving back and forth on the court, ignoring the flashes from photographers that were supposed to be capturing the game but found them more interesting.

"I guess this isn't a terrible first date." She acquiesces.

"I guess Jay was right then."

Olivia snorts and shakes her head.

"You still don't know Jay Z and next time, I'm picking where we go."

"Yes, dear." He murmurs in jest, knowing that whatever she would choose would be incredibly low key compared to this.

The small smile on her face let him know that she wasn't upset though. Quite the contrary. It would be nice to wake the next day to have their relationship confirmed instead of the media boasting his ex-wife and speculating their current ties together. Whether she acknowledged it or not, he knew that it bothered her.

Neither of them liked basketball but Fitz would sit through a million games if it meant that she wouldn't have his relationship with Mellie plaguing her everywhere she turned. He made sure this date was as public as public gets and it was the start of an amazing lifetime full of unexpected nights out.
