a/n - hey ! please vote ! 

olivia's pov
i open the apartment door, closing it behind me. "why're you home?" iris asks, sitting on the couch. "reasons," i mutter, walking straight to my room.

i pull up the blankets, getting in and snuggling into my bed. "tell me what's wrong," iris says, sitting beside me, "did y/n break up with you?" i shrug. "what? what do you mean?" iris asks. "she wanted to go on a break... so we're on a break," i mumble. "oh god... why?" "because she loves me," i admit. "is this because of what happened in the supermarket? y/n's doing this because of your safety?" "you hit the nail on the head," i close my eyes. "why's y/n so selfless..." iris sighs, "it's okay. she didn't break up with you, it's just a break. it's a break to focus on you." "have you not seen high school musical the series?" "this isn't a fucking tv show, olivia!" iris laughs, "what did she say?" i take a deep sigh, starting to explain everything she said.

i keep my phone to my ear, mj and ned on the other line. "do what you think is best for you and olivia," mj says, "if you think breaking up with her for her own safety is what you need to do, then do it. if you think that you can protect her, then stay with her." "i second that," ned says. i sigh, laying in bed, "okay... i just gotta think about it. thanks guys, i'm gonna go and drown myself in tears whilst listening to my depressed playlist." mj and ned chuckle, saying bye and hanging up.

2 days later
i wake up, reaching over to my right side. "fucking habit," i mutter, realizing olivia wasn't there. i pick up my phone, tapping it on to show the photo of liv and i. we were on the wilshire tower, and i was kissing olivia's cheek as she held the camera high, getting the view in the background with a wide smile. 

i smile softly, swiping up and going to instagram.

i walk into the fabricator room, switching on the lights. i sit at the desk, opening my notebook. i write the title in capital, which said 'FOR LIV'. i start scribbling ideas that could keep her safe, eventually coming up with a small, hand-sized gadget.

deciding to go for coffee, i take off my suit from the hanger, putting it on. i get a jacket, wearing it on top. not bothering to put on my mask, i open the balcony door. 

i drop a few shops away from the coffee place. i put my hands in my pockets, walking on the sidewalk. i look to the side as my name got called out.

i smile as i see conan with a bright smile, olivia beside him. "hey guys," i say, walking over to them. conan opens his arms and i chuckle, hugging him. we pull away, and i look at olivia, who was looking at me with a small smile. i smile back, walking to her and wrapping my arms around her waist, "hey olivia," i whisper. "hi," liv responds as her arms wrap around my neck, and i rub her back soothingly. i close my eyes, smelling the strawberry scented perfume.

we both hesitantly pull away. "what're you guys doing here?" i ask. "we just went to the mall, what're you doing?" conan says. "i'm gonna grab a coffee, maybe a muffin too," i say. "got anything you're doing later on?" conan asks. "i gotta work on... spider-woman stuff," i answer. "yeah, liv's been telling me that you've been spending a shit ton of time in that weird room," conan says. i look at olivia, who shrugs with a smile. "it's not a weird room!" we all laugh. "okay, well i'm getting kinda hungry now, so i'm probably gonna go," i chuckle. "okay, see you!" conan says. "bye conan, bye liv," i say. "bye y/n," liv smiles, and i start to walk away.

i turn my torso around as i continue walking the other way, seeing liv also turned to me with a smile. i give a small smile, turning back around as i feel my face heating up.

i groan, turning back around too. "she was looking too!" conan bursts out laughing, "wait... she was looking! a win is a win, i don't care what y'all say, a win is a win!" i laugh, covering my face with my hands.
