Reason To Wake

 
The first thing Peter realizes when he wakes up is that the other half of the bed is empty. It takes him a moment, but he remembers they ended up at her place last night, so Olivia can't have gone far. He cracks his eyes open and props himself up on an elbow. The light flooding the room is from an angle no sane person should be awake to see on a Saturday. Which, of course, means Olivia is perched on the couch, glasses threatening to slip down her nose and files spread out on the coffee table.
 
"Hey," he says, voice still hoarse and blurred with sleep.
 
She's already smiling by the time she looks up, a crooked grin that crinkles the edges of her eyes. Pushing back strands of hair that had fallen out of her messy bun, she surveys him with as possessive a look as he's ever seen. "Hi."
 
He checks the clock just to confirm what he already knows. "Five-thirty? Seriously?"
 
She shrugs and ducks her head, looking at him through her lashes. "Couldn't sleep. I didn't want to wake you."
 
"So you get up to go through case files."
 
"Bad guys aren't going to catch themselves."
 
"Bad guys are probably still in bed, too."
 
Her laugh is low and throaty. She leans on the arm of the couch, propping her chin on her hand as she tucks her bare legs underneath her. All she's wearing is his shirt. He likes her in his shirt almost as much as he likes her out of it.
 
Getting it off her will be fun, too.
 
"You should come back to bed." He pats the spot beside him, twitches the comforter aside as he motions her towards him.
 
"You should get up," she returns promptly. Mischief sparkles in her eyes and her grin is downright wicked. "Don't you want to go home and check on Walter?"
 
"Oh, come on," he says, thumping backwards and throwing his arm over his eyes. "Why do you have to bring my father into this?"
 
"You are supposed to be keeping him out of trouble."
 
"If Walter gets sleepovers, so do I. He's perfectly capable of taking care of himself for a morning." He grimaces. "And thanks, really. Remembering my father getting sleepovers is not a memory I needed dredged up."
 
That finally triggers the release of the giggles she's been holding back, a rare occurrence that never fails to delight him. Hearing that carefree laughter is even worth the image of his father and the last time Walter asked permission for an overnight excursion, a libido killer if Peter ever knew one. He rolls to his side and smirks at her. "If we'd gone to my place last night, we could have been treated to Walter up at all hours in questionable states of dress. Wouldn't that have been fun."
 
Her laughter turns rueful. "After the last time, I think I'll pass."
 
"You didn't find Walter's renditions of show tunes at three in the morning a turn-on?"
 
She raises her eyebrows and shakes her head.
 
He smirks again, happy to see her relaxed and amused. Just happy in general, really, an odd thing to be given the war bearing down on them. The looming threat makes these stolen moments all the sweeter.
 
And he needs to steal more of them, before that threat decides to rudely intrude and their rare day off is cancelled. "So. You just gonna waste the morning sitting there poring over files?"
 
"Hardly a waste." She rises to her feet, taking her glasses off and placing them on the table. In four steps she's next to the bed, hands clasped behind her back as she studies him. "Unless you have a better offer?"
 
He grins at the challenge in her voice, grins more at the amused crinkle at the corner of her eyes. He shoves aside the comforter and sits up. Pulls at the pencils securing the coil of hair on top of her head, tossing them into a corner as her hair cascades free. She definitely looks good in his shirt, more so with her hair loose and tumbled about her shoulders. With her hair up, she's shades of Agent Dunham; with her hair free she's all Olivia. He wants her for both, but right now he wants Olivia more. "I think I can come up with something."
 
She pushes him backwards, follows in a crawl up his chest. "I have a few ideas myself."
 
"Do you now?" is all he gets out before her lips stop his voice. He wraps his arms tight around her, the buttons of the shirt pressing into his bare chest and the ends of her hair tickling at his hands and arms as her mouth moves against his. She controls the kiss, keeping it slow and lazy, and he lets her bring him along for the ride. When she breaks the kiss, she separates enough to prop herself up on her elbows and stare down at him, those hazel eyes of hers thoughtful.
 
He reaches up, strokes her cheekbones and combs his fingers through the hair that curtains her face. "What are you thinking?"
 
The corners of her mouth lift. "That you almost make it worth staying in bed in the morning."
 
"Almost? I'm insulted." He rolls them until he's the one leaning over her, then does his best to kiss her breathless. When he stops to catch his own breath, she's flushed and panting. He dives back to press open-mouthed kisses along her throat, and she arches beneath him. "Obviously," he says, nibbling his way along her jaw, "I need to work harder."
 
"Mmm, yes," she murmurs. He shivers as she runs her fingernails in lazy trails up and down his spine. "Your dedication should be commended."
 
"You ain't seen nothing yet, sweetheart."
 
Her fingers pause and her eyes narrow. "I hate it when you call me that."
 
"What, sweetheart?" He punctuates the endearment with a light nip on her shoulder. "How about honey? Or darling? Maybe muffin?"
 
"Muffin?"
 
"Would you prefer snookums?"
 
"I have a gun."
 
"Oh, I know."
 
She snorts softly and pokes him in the side. "Chicks with guns turn you on, huh?"
 
"One particular chick." He pulls the top button of the shirt open, kissing the newly exposed skin, then moves on to the next button, and then the next. He loves the way her lips part and her breath catches every time his mouth presses against new territory. "It's amazing the things you never realize are a turn-on until you meet the right person. Take Feds, for instance." When he reaches the last button, he pulls the fabric apart and runs his fingers down her sides from breasts to hips as he admires the view. "I never knew the right side of the law could be so stimulating."
 
"Flatterer," she says, fingers on her lips as if she's trying to hide the smile that keeps tugging up the corners of her mouth. He tilts his head questioningly, but she shakes her head, keeping the specifics of what she's thinking to herself. Whatever it is amuses her, though, because the mischief is back in her eyes.
 
"I have ways of making you talk," he says, tickling the side of her breast. She squirms away, maneuvering out from under him and towards the headboard. He rises to his knees and reaches for her again, but she swats his hands away.
 
"We're going to trade interrogation techniques now?" she practically purrs. She tilts her head and he registers, a moment too late, the smile she always gives him when she's determined to win a dare. He tries to dodge but she's on her knees and leaning forward, his dick in her hands. He's already hard, and when she squeezes he bites back a moan, his dick twitching as heat streaks though him.
 
"Fuck," he barely breathes, meeting her stare for stare.  She's kneeling there, hair tumbled around her face and unbuttoned shirt hinting more than hiding, but that's all surface details; it's the Fed that has him in her hands.  Her expression is cool and neutral, the game face she always wears in the interrogation room, and damn him if he doesn't get even harder.
 
"All right," she says, and she's matched her voice to her expression. He tries not to curse as she shifts one hand to the base, lightly runs the fingernails of the other up and down the underside. He can't stop the shudder, and her lips twitch into the barest hint of a grin. "I can give you what you want. But first you need to give me something."
 
"Olivia," he grinds out. She knows him, knows exactly what she's doing to him. He considers reaching for her, but that would be admitting defeat.
 
God, her hands on him feel so good.
 
"So, Mr. Bishop," she continues, relentless.   She's teasing the underside of the head now, thumb strumming him in almost idle movements while her eyes bore into his, idle movements that leave his throat dry and make him exert every ounce of hard-won control to stay still. "What are you going to give me?"
 
He's never broken under interrogation, and, aside from the use of mind-reading devices, never given information he hadn't planned to reveal. It's a point of pride. But she's broken all his rules, right from the start, and between the intimacy of the situation and the intensity of her gaze, something inside of him shifts out of place. Or maybe falls into place, giving in to the inevitable.
 
"Anything." He barely recognizes the guttural rasp as his own voice, but he means that word more than anything he's said in his life.  "God, Olivia, anything."
 
Her eyes widen, just a little, and her mouth opens, tongue wetting her lips. She swallows, then breathes in deep, releasing him. Her hands move to his face, cup his chin as she studies him like she's seeing him for the first time. "Didn't think you'd crack that quickly," she murmurs.
 
"Quickly?" He quirks a brow at her and tries not to gulp for air. "It's taken four years and how many life-or-death situations?"
 
"Hmm." She moves close enough that he can feel her body heat against his skin, runs her fingers down his neck and along his shoulders before finally settling them against his collarbone.
 
"So, then," he says, "what do you want?"
 
Her smile is fierce. "You. I want you."
 
She wraps a leg around his hips, sinks onto him with a sigh. He bites back a groan, wrapping his arms around her to support her weight as he thrusts to meet her. She rises up again, maddeningly slow, and inches back down, resisting his efforts to quicken the pace.
 
"Which of us are you tormenting here?" he growls, aching for more friction.
 
She dips her head to his, presses a kiss against the corner of his mouth. "Can you blame me for wanting to make it last?"
 
"If you don't stop trying to kill me?" He narrows his eyes. "Yes."
 
She laughs. His hands drop to her hips and she leans back, her hands sliding along his arms to grip his elbows. He rocks into her, and from her hiss of indrawn breath, he's angled just right.  A repeat gets the same results, so he sets up a slow and steady rhythm until her head falls back and she clenches around him with a gasp.
 
He settles back to his haunches, Olivia still straddling his lap. For the second time this morning she pushes him backwards, and his head hits the bed with a soft thump.
 
"Bossy, aren't you," he says, amused, straightening his legs to get more comfortable.
 
"Yup." She steadies herself with hands on his chest and flexes her hips, rocking against him. His hips surge involuntarily. Close, so close. A few more thrusts and he's gone, riding the wave of pleasure that comes crashing through.
 
She's watching him when he opens his eyes, and he pulls her down to him. Licks the sweat from her collarbone, nibbles along her throat, and finally settles a sloppy kiss on her mouth. He never did manage to get the shirt off of her, but he can't really bring himself to care. "You make it worth getting up early on a Saturday."
 
She shakes her head, rubbing her nose against his. "You've convinced me to come back to bed."
 
"Choosing me over case files? I'm flattered."
 
"You can help me with them later." She grins archly, rolling off him and curling against his side. "You did say you'd do anything."
 
He snorts. "Thanks. Sweetheart." He injects as much sarcasm into the endearment as he can manage.
 
She smirks back at him unrepentantly, tangling her fingers with his and kissing his knuckles, then settles her head under his chin. With her warm and comfortable weight in his arms he drifts back to sleep.

BAWW! This is great. A bit of happy banter!sex!

And Walter asking for the sleepover...HA! Totally forgot about that.

[identity profile] chichuri.livejournal.com 2010-02-02 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. And somehow I doubt that's the only time Walter will ask for a sleepover...

[identity profile] greyslostwho.livejournal.com 2010-02-02 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Gorgeous!!

The pair of them need some serious loving ;)

[identity profile] chichuri.livejournal.com 2010-02-03 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you!

Yup, they do. Hopefully with each other. *grins*

[identity profile] marymc.livejournal.com 2010-02-02 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
ZOMG... I never knew you could describe porn as "awwwwwwwwwwwwww!".

BUT YOU CAN.

I love the part about "things Peter never knew about the Feds".

GAWD, I adore this couple...

Totally lovely fic. AND - my eternal gripe - totally in character! Eeeee! Perfect!

[identity profile] chichuri.livejournal.com 2010-02-03 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! Glad banter!porn made you awww. And I'm so happy you think it's in character; I was wibbling over this one a bit.

Peter and Olivia rock. And they're so much fun to write.

[identity profile] marymc.livejournal.com 2010-02-03 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
And happy!Olivia is so rare. It's great to see her get an outing. ;)

[identity profile] ocein.livejournal.com 2010-02-02 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
What can I say except I looooooooooove it. I really love anything you or crazylittlelf does. Any chance you want to pick up that Slip of the Choke Chain universe?

Eh?

[identity profile] chichuri.livejournal.com 2010-02-03 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! Glad I didn't disappoint.

I do plan to do more with Choke Chain 'verse; I have a bunch more planned. I need to rearead "Chain You Down" and find the character voices again.

[identity profile] muselives.livejournal.com 2010-02-03 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
"I never knew the right side of the law could be so stimulating."
I think this is where the squee sucker-punched me, but I can't be certain.

You should write more banter porn! It's phenomenal :D

[identity profile] chichuri.livejournal.com 2010-02-03 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Hee! Thank you. I am way too thrilled that the story managed to cause sucker punching via squee.

Banter is fun. Banter!porn is fun. All I need to do is convince the bunnies not to sideswipe me with seriousness and angst when I'm trying for light banter.

[identity profile] namedone.livejournal.com 2010-02-03 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
mmm, Fringe porn:) Yummy. Even if it's slightly unbelievable at this point, it's still tasty and so fucking hot.

[identity profile] chichuri.livejournal.com 2010-02-03 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. And hey, I set it two and a half years in the future. Maybe by then the characters would have gotten it together and admitted to mutual attraction. Maybe?

[identity profile] namedone.livejournal.com 2010-02-03 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I didn't see the time! I guess, then it'd be fine, but for me it's still unbelievable 'cause I just see 'em now. I can only speculate how their relationship develops, but it might not go that way at all. For what you've done, it's awesome and so fucking hot. For me, it's still hard to imagine, you know? I don't know if that makes sense?

[identity profile] chichuri.livejournal.com 2010-02-03 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
No, that makes perfect sense! You prefer staying within the realms of canon, or currently more canon plausible, which this very much is not.

One of the reasons why I set any story with Peter and Olivia together a ways out from current canon is because I don't see them as getting together any time soon. I just have fun playing with the "what if"s.

[identity profile] lone-pyramid.livejournal.com 2010-02-06 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
In a 'verse where it could very easily be all about the angst, it's good to see them having some fun together. ;)

"Anything." He barely recognizes the guttural rasp as his own voice, but he means that word more than anything he's said in his life. "God, Olivia, anything."

Guh. That's just.... There's more than one way of saying I love you, y'know? And that's one of 'em.

[identity profile] chichuri.livejournal.com 2010-02-06 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! As much as I love the angst, it's fun to do something lighter occasionally. And half the time when I do, the damned story blindsides me with these serious little moments like the "Anything" one.

[identity profile] lone-pyramid.livejournal.com 2010-02-06 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
But sometimes that little serious moment stands out against the fluff so much more than it would surrounded by angst, yes?

Either way, awesome. :)

[identity profile] chichuri.livejournal.com 2010-02-07 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes. And I think sometimes it's in the lighter moments that their walls are down, and the serious moments--ones that would other wise be lost in the surrounding angst--peek through. I just have to laugh at myself when it does show up in my stories, again and again.

[identity profile] sugangel7.livejournal.com 2010-02-07 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
AH! This was perfect, so very well-written. You managed to make it sexy and light-hearted and fun but also so sweet and serious and just 'awww'-inducing.

I just really love it. You captured their relationship so well. this is very much how i see them interacting, once they finally give in to that sexual tension between them. Your voice for Peter is probably my favorite part of it all, because you capture his sarcasm so perfectly with his lines about Walter's rendition of show tunes being a turn on and how it took four years and so many life-and-death situations. The use of the sweetheart endearment was so great and funny as well.

My favorite scene/moment was probably how much Peter was turned on by Olivia playing the Fed, the interrogator, and how his pride in never cracking made him want to not give in but -- because it's her, and goodness knows he really would do anything for her -- he did. I love what you put about how Olivia was shocked, surprised, how she looked at him as if she was seeing him for the first time. It's like she didn't realize the power she has over him or, more correctly, she didn't realize just how much he does love her and care about her. I mean I'm sure she's pretty confident about his affection for her, but it's a pretty beautiful thing that after four years the love he has for her can still surprise her and delight her with its depth. :)

But yes, fantastic fic! Thanks so much for sharing!

[identity profile] chichuri.livejournal.com 2010-02-07 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed this.

I love the idea of Olivia and Peter bantering, and adored their first scene in "Jacksonville" for one of those rare glimpses of them being lighthearted and playful, glimpses that I suspect given that episode will be the last for a while. Besides, it's fun to write playful stories once in a while as a break from the angst.

And I do think Olivia is currently the chink in Peter's armor, and the reason he's likely to stay around once the truth about what Walter did comes out.

[identity profile] sugangel7.livejournal.com 2010-02-07 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, their bantering is the best! I totally agree about that first scene in the last ep which I'm SO glad the writers gave us before the angst really settles in. I just love them being all flirty and playful, we really don't see that enough.

And I believe you're right about her being the chink in his armor. She got him to stay once before, and I have a feeling that he won't be able to walk away from her now.

[identity profile] chichuri.livejournal.com 2010-02-07 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
We get flirty and playful Olivia so rarely that I worried that I had her out of character when I first posted the fic. That scene really made me happy to see, because I think it was one of the strongest hints of what Peter and Olivia might look like when they're happy. I also suspect it's the last happy bit we're going to get for a while.

I suspect Olivia will be the reason Peter will stay when he finds out about Walter's misdeeds. (Actually, I suspect that's why we got the opening gambit in Peter/Olivia now, to show that he has reason to want to hang around)

[identity profile] beautyandbanana.livejournal.com 2010-03-08 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Oh Peter the things you say...

[identity profile] chichuri.livejournal.com 2010-03-08 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah. Gotta bet Peter's mouth has gotten him into trouble more than once.

Thanks for reading!

[identity profile] musicalraingirl.livejournal.com 2010-05-10 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I absolutely loved it! Their banter was great :D

[identity profile] chichuri.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Writing their banter is so much fun.

[identity profile] spark3597.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Guh, how adorable! I love all your fics! All the cuteness, angstiness and stuff. Also LOVE the Choke Chain 'verse. Mostly 'cause I have an infatuation for Nick Lane. XD

I wish you write more stuff like this. Not the smutty part particularly. Just the banter with the established P/O. It reminds me a lot of "Entangled Hearts" which I loved dearly! But I love all your fics XD.

Again, how adorable!

[identity profile] chichuri.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so very much! I'm glad you like this one, and the rest.

Nick Lane is awesome, especially for a character that's had such a small role; I'm happy to see more people infatuated with the character. Nick's one of the things that makes playing with the Choke Chain 'verse so fun, I must admit.

I hope to write more like this at some point. There's just so many stories I want to write, and so little time to do it. (and btw, I'm totally blushing that you remember other of my stories by name. Thank you!)

[identity profile] spark3597.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
LOL. I know most of your fics by name 'cause I've read most of them more five times. Does that make me seem stalker-ish? ;p

[identity profile] chichuri.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Not stalkerish at all! It does make me kind of flail-y and speechless and demands that I friend you back (if you don't mind).

[identity profile] spark3597.livejournal.com 2010-05-12 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
I don't mind at all! ;p

[identity profile] kimbari.livejournal.com 2010-10-28 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Elegant and completely in character. Thank you for this.

[identity profile] chichuri.livejournal.com 2010-11-01 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for reading. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
