Merry Christmas [Olivia]

[Harvey Dent/Two-Face]

Harvey yawned and ran a hand through his hair as he waited for the coffee machine to finish brewing the shots of espresso. Olivia was still asleep in his big, comfortable bed. It would be almost a shame to wake her - she looked like an angel when she was sleeping.

He poured the coffees - a large cappuccino for Olivia and a double macchiato for him - and added them to the tray on the kitchen countertop. He'd prepared a light breakfast of creamy scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and toasted brioche, placing the plates on a candle-fired warmer to keep the food warm until Olivia was ready to eat. Breakfast in bed would be the perfect way to start what he hoped would be the first of many Christmases together.

Harvey picked up the tray and quietly made his way back into the bedroom. He set it down on the bedside table and drew back the curtain to let the morning sunshine into the room, then sat on the edge of the bed and bent over Olivia, kissing her gently.

"Merry Christmas, sweetheart."

He reached down and drew out a large box he'd stashed under the bed, containing a number of gifts wrapped in silky white paper and silver satin ribbons.

Inside the first package was a bracelet made of a double strand of pearls twisted together, one black and one white. The second contained a cashmere sweater in a soft blush pink, the third a generously sized scarf in co-ordinating shades of pink and lilac.

The largest package bore the stamp of one of Gotham's most upscale fashion boutiques. Inside was a set of expensive lingerie in sky blue silk, trimmed with creamy lace - a balconette bra, french knickers, garter belt and a camisole. Also nestled in the box was a silk wrapper and two pairs of French-made seamed silk stockings.

Olivia stirred at Harvey's kiss. Large, chocolate colored eyes opened to be met with the sight of her delightfully charming boyfriend. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. "G'morning." She said sleepily, a soft smile spreading across her face.

This smile exploded into a massive grin at the sight of breakfast and the presents. She kissed Harvey's cheek enthusiastically. "Oh! Oh, this is so nice. You are absolutely the best ever and I love you."

She cheerfully grabbed the boxes and pulled them into her lap before giving Harvey a sheepish smile. "Your charming other half gave me the honor of stashing your stuff in his room. You can have it after I open these rather gorgeous boxes. Have I mentioned I love you?"

With the enthusiasm of a child, she opened the first package and gasped as she saw the bracelet. "Oh, Harvey! You weren't kidding when you said you were going to spoil me, were you?" Unable to wipe the stupid grin off of her face, she slid on the bracelet and admired it.

The cashmere sweater and scarf got Harvey two sloppy kisses. Olivia merrily threw off her pajama shirt and put on the sweater before sliding the scarf around her neck. She rubbed her arms, eyes bright. "I've never worn cashmere before. This is fabulous. It's amazing. You're amazing."

She was unfamiliar with the boutique but still opened the package with vigor. She blinked as she stared down at the contents. Olivia tenderly picked up the bra and knickers before looking up at Harvey, one eyebrow raised. "Now is this for you or for me, Harvey? I am beginning to question your motives." Unable to keep up her facade of annoyance, she burst into laughter and placed the items back in the box. "I love them. I can't wait to try them on a little later."

She scrambled off the bed, careful not to knock over the food and bolted out of the room to grab Harvey's presents. Struggling slightly with the packages, she came back into the room and dumped them unceremoniously on the bed. "Merry Christmas!"

The first package held a pair of black leather gloves lined with cashmere. The second held a black hat, and the third held the gag gifts she'd picked up. A bottle of eye drops and chap stick sat in a bag with a snowman on the front. It wasn't as extravagant as his Christmas, but it was the best she could do on a budget.

[Harvey Dent/Two-Face]

Harvey smiled as Olivia woke up and grinned at him. "I told you once I'd spend the rest of my life trying to make you happy if you'd let me." He leant forwards and kissed her again. "I meant it."

He settled next to her. "You might have mentioned it, but I never tire of hearing it. And Two-Face let you leave things in his room? Wow. That's incredible. That has NEVER happened before."

He watched, smiling as Olivia opened her gifts. "I rather like spoiling you."

He met her gaze as she opened the lingerie, trying to appear innocent and failing miserably. "Umm... I plead the Fifth Amendment, Your Honour."

Harvey smiled even more widely as he opened his gifts. "These are wonderful. I've always thought fedoras should make a return. And my left hand tends to stiffen in the cold, you know - I don't think I'll take these gloves off until April. Thank you, Ollie."

He laughed heartily at the chapstick and eye drops. "Thoughtful as ever, my love."

[Olivia Hale]

Olivia laughed and placed her palms on Harvey's thighs at his failure at innocence. "You won't be pleading the fifth later, handsome." She kissed him slowly, smiling against his mouth.

She beamed as he opened his gifts. "I'm so glad you like them, Harv. I know they're not as extravagant as what you got me, but I figured you could use them."

Her smile felt as though it would split her face as Harvey laughed. "Thought you'd like them. I know how much you like apples and I found this multicolored one. You have to use it every single day or I will cry and pout at you."

She moved in for another kiss when a thought hit her. "Oh!" She exclaimed before bolting off of the bed and back to where she'd stashed the gifts. She came back with several small packages and dumped them on Harvey's lap. The wrapping paper was different than the innocent light blue with snowmen Harvey had received. This wrapping paper was one of her favorite finds. It was black and had pin-up girls scattered across it.

"These are for Two-Face." Olivia said, mischief sparking in her eyes. The first box held a set of dice for couples with rather tame suggestions on it. The second had a pair of handcuffs and the third had a package of genitalia shaped pasta. The final item was the one she found the most amusing. Olivia had managed to find a cheap, bright pink vibrator that was Hello Kitty themed. She hoped that Face would find it entertaining as well.

[Harvey Dent/Two-Face]

Harvey returned her kiss, eyes closing. "I'm sure you'd be able to make me plead anything you want, wearing those..."

Harvey ran a hand through Olivia's sleep-mussed hair. "It's alright. I don't need extragavance from you. I just need you. And I'm grateful every day that I have you, Ollie." He kissed her again.

He popped the lid of the chapstick and looked at the green and red swirled wax beneath. "Very festive, yes. And very... appley."

Harvey grinned at the pinup wrapping paper. "I suppose I should let him open these himself. But tell him he has to behave."

He leaned forwards and kissed Olivia again before letting Two-Face take over. He raised an eyebrow at the dice, smirking to himself. "Very nice. I could take them to the casino; teach Joker how to play craps." The thought of Joker and the wide exanse of the craps table was really quite a diverting one.

He twirled the handcuffs round his finger. "Want to play cops and robbers, do we?" His eyes held a teasing gleam that was far from the normal aggression and cynicism.

He let out a snort of laughter at the pasta "Superb. So next time someone tells me to go eat a bag of dicks I actually can. Where do you find this stuff, doll?"

Two-Face thought he'd seen just about every sex toy in existence (and tried most of them.. .. some of them in fact had been tried to destruction) but he had to admit this was a new one.

"It's... different. Very different."

He suddenly became very aware that he was in bed with Harvey's girlfriend. He shouldn't. He really houldn't. It was Christmas. But what the hell.

"Want to show me how it works?"

[Olivia Hale]

Olivia watched with bated breath as Two-Face opened his gifts. She rolled her eyes at the comment about the dice. "Really? I get you something for Christmas and you want to use it on the clown. Whatever."

She laughed about the handcuffs. "As long as I'm the cop and you're the robber. I believe that, on occasion, you should be the one tied down."

She beamed, thoroughly pleased as he called her doll. "Oh, you'd be amazed at what you can find on the internet. Endless possibilities."

Olivia locked eyes with him, face flushing slightly. She was silent for a long moment, wondering how to respond. Finally, she reached over to pull the lingerie Harvey had bought her closer on the bed. She licked her lips and slid off the sweater.

"Rather unfair for me to try out your present before Harvey's. You'll just have to wait your turn."

Flushed slightly from very mild embarrassment and excitement, Olivia stood up and began stripping down. As she slipped into the bra and knickers Harvey had bought, she glanced slyly over at Two-Face. "Besides, I'm sure you know exactly how that works, babe."

[Harvey Dent/Two-Face]

Two-Face grinned. "Sorry, doll. Were you trying to seduce me again?"

He picked up the handcuffs and twirled them round a finger. "I'm game... by the way, I think Montoya likes you. You wouldn't consider having her over one night would you?" he smirked.

He looked at the pasta again. "Come on. I would not be at all surprised at what you can find on the internet."

His eyes darkened appraisingly as Olivia removed her pyjamas and slipped into the silk underwear. He personally thought the lingerie was rather tame - but on her it worked.

"It was worth a try," he shrugged. He looked over her form once more, the corner of his mouth quirking. "Would you go all blushy and ditzy if I said I was beginning to see why Harvey finds you attractive?"

[Olivia Hale]

Though a faint blush did bloom across Olivia's face, she still smiled slyly. "I knew I'd wear you down eventually, babe." She crawled across the bed and kissed his nose playfully.

"Would you go all blushy and ditzy if I said that I was beginning to think you actually have redeeming qualities and aren't a complete asshole 24/7?"

She sat back on her heels, tilting her head to the side slightly. She wet her lips, slightly nervous about what she was about to say. "Please don't shout at me for saying this, but I've really enjoyed the time we've spent together recently. I know you're not my biggest fan, but I still hold onto the hopes that we can be friends. Forgive the sentimentality, but it is Christmas."
