AN: Sorry it has been so long, I'm hoping to be able to write some more now, especially that Scandal has seem to gotten back on track. Even if Olitz isnt perfect, the show is getting better! Hopefully that will give me more ideas for them.
After the night they'd had Fitz didn't expect to wake up to a half naked Olivia asleep still on top of him from the night before. He didn't expect one of her hands to be softy planted against his cheek and her nude smooth legs tangled up with his. She was breathing softy, each exhale hitting his neck. He didn't want to wake her, and he certainly didn't want to leave her arms, but he knew that Scarlett would be up soon and they needed to at least be dressed when she did. Her hair was blocking most of her face and it was sprawled across his chest, he began by carefully stroking her hair away from her face. The move didn't wake her, but it did cause her face to scrunch up in annoyance.
"Livvie?" He said softly chuckling a bit at the look on her face, moving his hands up and down her naked back and legs.
"You better not be waking me up for sex Fitz, I swear I'll kill you myself." She growled at him. Normally she started swinging, so her angry voice was the lesser of two evils.
"I wouldn't say no if you're offering, but I figured we should probably get up and dressed before any siblings decide to pop in, particularly the under aged one."
"If I get dressed can I go back to sleep?" She pouted at him. They had been up late the night before making up, than talking things out some more, than making up again, she was exhausted.
"I'll grab you some clothes."
"Your navy shirt and those blue Calvin Klein boxers please." She finally smiled as she requested her favorite pajamas, his. He smirked as he brought them over to her while he pulled on a pair of Brown sweatpants and crawled back in bed with her. She quickly pulled the covers over her head so that she could get dressed without having to see his hungry eyes roam her body, if she did they wouldn't get back to sleep and certainly wouldn't be clothed when Scarlett woke up.
"Seriously?" He pouted, when he realized he wouldn't be getting a show. He began pawing at the blankets, but by time he got them off of her she was already dressed.
"You'll live, sleep!" She told him as she curled up with her pillow and shut her eyes.
"Cruel woman." He complained as he turned his back to her, trying to get a rise out of her. Instead of prompting her to jump on him she simply scooted behind him and wrapped her arms around him and slipped her leg between his. She let her hands stroke his chest and as they wandered downward he tried to turn and face her, but she wouldn't allow him to.
"Now I know why you like this so much, easy access." She told him still teasing him. She pressed her face into his back while still stroking his chest and abs.
"Cruel." He muttered before finally relaxing into her touch and falling asleep.
They weren't asleep for more than an hour when Olivia woke up again in the same position she had fallen asleep in.
"What's wrong Sweets?" She asked when she saw Scarlett standing on her side of the bed, looking as sleepy as she felt. The little girl simply shrugged her shoulders and Olivia pulled back the covers inviting her to join them, silently thanking Fitz for waking them up to get dressed.
"Boo snores." Scarlett finally said as she laid next to Olivia on her back.
"Unfortunately so does Fitz." Olivia whispered conspiratorially. Scarlett smiled and turned on her side to face Olivia.
"Can I sleep a little more with you guys?" Scarlett whispered so softly and timidly Olivia barely heard her.
Olivia simply nodded and opened up her arm for Scarlett to scoot underneath it. She didn't hesitate before she moved right next to Olivia. The way she immediately curled up next to her, almost desperately, reminded Olivia that Scarlett didn't grow up with a very affectionate mother. It was the same way Fitz clung to her, as if he was afraid there was a timer on her affection for him. Olivia didn't have the most affectionate parents, but her Grandmother always made sure to shower her with kisses and hugs, she spent at least one night a week curled up with Claudia if she was too scared to sleep alone, and Michael was always throwing her over his shoulder and carrying her around. Her heart ached for the two people next to her, both so deprived of something every human being needs and deserves.
Scarlett was asleep almost as soon as she got comfortable next to Olivia, but Olivia couldn't seem to rest any longer. Her mind kept racing back to the night before, and as she remembered how herself, Michael, and Claudia cared for each other, she began searching her memory for what changed. When did they start making choices without her? When did Michael become so callous, callous enough to involve Cammie in something they'd worked so hard to keep her away from? And finally when did Claudia and Huck simply bow to his choices as if they were gospel? She knew it wasn't when Fitz came into her life, she worried that they now saw her as soft, but Michael has Abby, and Claudia had Harrison. It wasn't Fitz. It certainly started before Scarlett, so when? Her mind still wandered to how everyone had changed so drastically, but her body finally gave out and she followed Scarlett to sleep.
This time when she awoke Scarlett had turned her back to her but was still right next to her, Fitz on the other hand had managed to snuggle his face right into the junction between her neck and shoulder. She wrapped her arms around him and stroked his hair gently. While making sure both her loves were still sound asleep she grabbed a book and held it as well as she could given her position. It wasn't long before Fitz woke up from her shifting, instead of complaining his simply shifted his arm around her and nuzzled his face into her neck.
His arm immediately hit another foreign body, prompting him to raise his head.
"You can't let her sleep in our bed every night Liv." Fitz said raising himself up in bed.
"Yeah next time she wakes me up at six am wanting snuggles I'll wake you so you can send her back to bed." Olivia replied letting her body fall against his chest. She kept her face in her book knowing that he would never actually be able to send her back to her room. He played with her hair and read over her head knowing that he had lost.
"Livvie I wasn't finished." He whined when she turned the page.
"I hate it when you read over my shoulder it ruins my flow." She was a much faster reader than he was, but he insisted on reading over her shoulder anyways.
"Sorry, I don't have my glasses, they seem to have disappeared." He said facetiously, his old rimless reading glasses were perched on her nose.
"Ah the old man can't read without his glasses. Poor guy." Olivia teased as she turned to kiss his bare chest. He wrapped his arms around her and kept her stuck right where she was.
"Be nice!" He told her and she began wriggling out of his grasp, but he just laughed and refused to let her go. They quickly released their faux fight would wake Scarlett, instead of releasing her, Fitz decided to pick her up and carry her out of the room.
"You made me lose my page you big cave man!" she told him when she realized her book was still back in the bedroom.
"Its not nice to call people names Livvie." Scolding her in reply.
"I'm sorry, how can I possibly make it up to you?" She said with an eye roll.
"Hmm I can think of a few things, but it will really take some effort on your part." He told her letting his hand wander to her ass and giving her a suggestive look.
"Hmm I don't know, after my final and all that moving I'll probably be sleepy." She told him but her eyes clearly gave him a different message. The look alone had him grabbing her and putting his lips on her neck. Before she got lost in the sensation she pulled away as best she could.
"We have our last finals to take." She barely got out, too lost in the feeling of his hands on her body. He took her wrist in his hand and checked the time on her Movado watch, he saw her admiring them on day online and immediately ordered it, slipping it on while she was asleep a few weeks ago, she hadn't removed it since.
"Livvie you have an hour to get to Cyrus's office, it'll only take you ten minutes to get there, especially the way you drive." He stopped the mind numbing assault on her neck, but his hand was still rubbing up and down her back gently, teasing her.
"I have to bring Scar with me, unless you want to call one of the wild bunch to watch her?"
"They're capable of caring for a seven year old Olivia, they aren't wolverines." He told her gently, trying to remind her that they aren't completely evil.
"Are you sure they wont make her be a diversion while they hunt down murderers, because I'm not. I'll bring crayons and a book and she will be find for an hour."
"Liv…"
"I'm not discussing this. We don't need their help, in fact we will have to survive without it so we might as well learn now.
"Okay. I will meet you two back here? Mine shouldn't take more than a half hour. We can grab the last of our stuff and head to the house." His started after Olivia's but his test would likely take less time.
She nodded in agreement and settled against his chest before accepting that she would have to get up and get Scarlett ready as well as herself.
"Who even takes physics as an elective? Seriously what a nerd." Olivia said but it was muffled as she was speaking directly into his chest.
"Someone that aced Navy flight school?" He answered with some arrogance in his voice, but he tempered it with a kiss to the top of her head.
"Nerd." She mumbled and he laughed holding her tighter, keeping in mind that it would most likely be the last time they would be snuggled together in the little apartment that quickly became their home.
