Song: Secrets by OneRepublic
Full Disclosure
Peter sat thinking about everything as he watched Olivia sleep, taking in the image before him. Her long blond hair halfway down her back and the other half over her shoulder, his shirt around her was something he found incredibly sexy…he hadn't known till she walked into the bedroom with it on that she had kept it while everything else went out. Her bangs…the very thing he hated somehow sat on her forehead with a completely different look…a more vulnerable look, something he could get secretly used to.
He'd been thinking about everything that had happened, not them because there was no reason to think about them…at least for the moment, but everything with her alternate and the shapeshifters he had killed and that Goddamned machine he was always working on…Olivia knew very little about it. He wanted her to know everything, to understand him and although he knew it could possibly lead to the same, well almost the same reaction as what happened in Barrett's Garden, he knew he had to tell her.
Olivia was a visual person, auditory and visual actually but she took in more by sight so she'd have to see his lab to understand his point of view…he hoped she would. He knew he'd have to ease her into it, so she didn't run at first sight…he knew the best way was full disclosure, an even ground for them both and possibly a bit of fun before the bomb was dropped.
They got a case that morning and as usual, he made her breakfast…she was far too skinny still, from what he understood and also saw on her weight chart that sat in the bathroom, she needed at least fifteen more pounds. The doctor she saw at Massive Dynamic after her return said she had lost thirty pounds on the other side from stress and who knew what else so she needed to gain them back and in two months she'd managed to get up fifteen.
On the case, he noticed her trying to pass the time as she waited for Broyles to finish with the officer he was speaking to and since Walter was on his way back with the body…Peter knew it was time to break the ice…so to speak.
"Olivia?"
She looked at him, giving a small smile as she reserved her bigger ones for private times away from the public eye. "Hey, find something?"
"Nothing more than usual, Broyles done yet?"
She shook her head, "no…what is it, you seem nervous?"
Nervous wasn't the way to put what he was feeling but it was close enough. "I don't want there to be anymore secrets between us, it's a full disclosure."
She was silent for a moment before giving a small smile, "I get to find out some secrets about you don't I? Hmm…that could be interesting."
"Oh no, its an even road…" he gave a small smirk despite knowing in the end it wouldn't be even ground. "I get to learn secrets about Olivia Dunham too."
Olivia nodded, "that's fair."
Before he could crack a wiseass comment, Broyles called them over…time to work.
