Hi! If I may, "Having a relationship with Olivia Dunham would involve..."? Thanks a lot.
Being in a relationship with Olivia Dunham would involve…
Always having to coax (or blackmail) her to bed
She doesn’t sleep well so if you wake up during the night there’s a good chance she’s not there
Pulling her back to bed and holding her until you both drift off again
Olivia waking you up by kissing your nose or cheek
She’s almost always up before you
Not great at making breakfast though
A pot of coffee or maybe some tea is pretty much all you can expect
Maybe some cereal
Usually leftover Chinese takeout or something along those lines
If you want an actual breakfast, you’re going to have to make it
Or like actual food for that matter to be honest
Your apartment always feels like a mess
Case files everywhere
Walter scrutinizing the shit out of you
He’s outright distrustful of you for the longest time
Convinced you’re going to hurt her or lie to her or betray everyone
He’s not subtle about it at all
Astrid tries to apologize for him and says he doesn’t mean it
He insists that he does
It takes a really long time for him to warm up to you
Like a REALLY long time
He’s protective of Olivia
You try not to take it personally
Peter is similarly suspicious at first but he keeps it to himself
He more outwardly friendly despite his reservations
He may or may not look into your background a bit
Just to be sure
Either way, he warms up to you significantly faster than Walter when he sees how much you clearly care about Olivia
You make her happier and he can appreciate that
Charlie is one of the first ones to accept you without immediate suspicion (well, him and Astrid at least)
He likes telling you embarrassing stories about Olivia to tease her over a beer
She’s not really about PDA
If only because of how irritated it makes Walter for the first while
Plus she likes to keep things relatively professional
Usually you can maybe expect a kiss on the cheek if other people are around
Unless something big is going down
If she’s scared even a little bit that she won’t come back, she gives you a proper kiss on the mouth and whispers that she loves you
You never want to let her go in those moments
You fear for her a lot and you hate feeling so helpless
Her life involves a lot of chaos
You’re her rock
You keep her grounded when everything else doesn’t make sense
