Chapter Text
Olivia pushed open the door to her apartment. It was late. Once she stood in the hall, she kicked off her shoes that were beginning to feel too tight and hung her coat on the rack beside Caseys. Olivia took a deep breath seeing it. Her chest filled with warmth and her heart fluttered a bit.
“Hi liv!” Casey called from the living-room
Olivia smiles and walked through the hallway and finally into the living-room. She sees casey sat on the couch, laptop on her lap and her feet on the coffee table.
“Hi honey” olivia smiled to casey.
Casey glanced at the clock hung on the wall.
“Its late, Liv” casey sighed
Carefully, she reached up and took a hold of Olivias arm. She tugged her down beside her. Olivia was quick to make herself comfortable pressed against casey. Olivia left a small peck on her lovers shoulder while she quickly typed.
“Mm what time hon?” Olivia mumbled
“It’s nearly 2am.” Casey half chuckled
Casey, at last, stopped typing. She looked onto her shoulder where the brunettes head was resting.
“Long day?” Casey asked sweetly
“Urgh you have no idea” olivia groaned
Casey said nothing but handed olivia her mug. It was hot to the touch. Olivia was in desperate need for coffee. She quickly drank a majority of Caseys coffee. She handed it back. Still taking in olivias state caseh giggled a little. Her hand found its way to Olivia’s lap, giving it a few gentle strokes.
“You hungry? I can whip something up.” Casey offers olivia
“That’d be great, Case”
A big smile was shot Caseys way.
“You were waiting for me to ask that weren't you?” casey laughed, getting up
Olivia got up after her, quietly following to the kitchen.
“Mmm maybe. But, i deserve it im so tired and hungry..take pity on me” olivia said softly
Before casey could get a word out Olivias arms were wrapped around her waist. Casey twisted her neck slowly, leaving a quick peck on Olivias cheek.
They softly swayed for a second before casey turned around in Olivias arms and faced her. Olivia smiled stupidly at her. How could casey say no?
“Alright then, what would you like to eat?” Casey asked
Olivia quickly told her and ran for the stairs to put on something comfy. Casey giggled to herself and began getting ingredients
————(small time jump)
Olivia was quickly cleaning off her plate in the sink. She was absentmindedly thinking about her favourite person…who was about 12 feet away from her but still! She loved the way Casey cared for her, Casey’s always making sure Olivia's comfortable and of course safe.
“Liv, you done?” Casey called.
“Yep”
Olivia put the plate on the rack and made her way back.
“Are you done is the question” olivia said softly
“Nope..looking like at-least an hour or 2 I've got tons of paperwork. Go to bed olivia i’ll be fine” casey pleaded
Olivia plopped herself back down on the couch. She got herself comfortable lying down, her head in Casey’s lap.
“Im staying up with you” olivia said
Casey said nothing and smiled. Her hand found Olivia's hair.
“Mm before you fully get back into those papers…” olivia begun
Olivia began to sit up. She took in her view. Casey Novak, who was usually in the cleanest looking outfits, blazers, fitting skirts…was wearing an oversized white t-shirt, mint green cloth shorts and some slouch white socks. The shorts were barely visible due to the size of the t-shirt. Olivia wasnt even totally sure where it came from.
“Before i get into my papers you’re going to stare at me?” Casey laughed, dimples showing
With no second thought, Olivia practically pounced to cup Caseys face. Lips were quickly on lips and they melted. It was gentle. It was just what the two of them needed. The kiss slowed, then their lips finally split but, the girls never backed away. Casey pursed her lips a few times, softly pecking Olivias.
“Alright baby.” Casey said just over a whisper
She softly left another peck onto Olivia’s forehead. The pet name rang in Olivia’s head as she settled it back into Casey's lap. Casey almost never called Olivia ‘baby’. Liv quite liked it. She smiled peacefully
Only 20 minutes later casey discovered light snores coming from liv. Casey wasn’t even shocked. The girl works so hard all day. And casey knew exactly how tough this case was. Casey didn’t care about how she fell asleep. Not one bit. In-fact casey smiled a little at the sleeping liv. Comfort crept into Casey's chest. She knew that was it. That her and liv are timeless.
—-morning
Caseys alarm buzzed softly. Her eyes flicked open. The morning sun spilled through the slightly cracked curtains. It was shining on livs face. Casey smiled. Her hand landed in livs hair. This gently woke her up.
“Mm..morning honey” olivia yawned
“Morning liv.” Casey said back softly
Olivia twisted and looked up at casey. Olivias eyes were narrow with sleep. She took a atrand if caseys hair
“Y’know..this is all I've ever wanted. And all i ever need.” Casey said quietly
“wha..falling asleep awkwardly on a couch with your laptop open and unbrushed teeth?” Olivia smiled
Casey laughed. A little more than she should’ve for 5am. She found herself in that situation a lot.
“Yeah go brush your teeth stinky.” Casey chuckled looking at liv
Liv, still half asleep pinched Caseys cheek softly.
“Yeah go start breakfast, maid” olivia croaked a laugh
Casey rolled her eyes but both of them obliged.
