It's only fitting

Hi,

"It's only fitting that he deliver or delivers the package."

I heard the first one in a TV series. I assume that it works the same as 'insist'? (He insisted that she stay home before the storm blows over."

Thank you.

" are correct. These are rare examples of the subjunctive in modern English, so no "s" inflection on the 3rd person singular verb form.
