A/N: So I am back with another Olicity! fic I like this one slightly more than my other one, since this one is a bit lighter and funnier, which is more my writing style. I do like my other fic, but I feel like if I stopped that now, it would also make a good ending. There is no real need to keep writing it. So I decided to leave it for now. If you haven't read it yet, please check it out!
This started out as a christmas fic, but I loved it so much I decided to continue with it and make it into something more heartbraking and OLICITY FEELS ARE FLYING AROUND! So yeah... it turned into a multchapter fic. ALSO: TOMMY IS NOT DEAD HERE. I kind of wanted him to be besties with Felicity because I thought that would be a fun relationship and so here it is. This is set at the beginning of season 2. Oliver has come back on his own and it is christmas. Hope you enjoy and please leave a REVIEW because they really help me.
I love you guys so much so I decided that you deserve TWO chapters so the other chapter will be up in only short minutes! Try and tell me you don't love me. Try. You can't.
I do not own Arrow or any of the characters! (I wish...)
Unsure Felicity stood in front of the big entrance. She gulped. She didn't feel intimidated. Hell she looked really good in her iceblue strappless gown and her amazing new shoes. But still it didn't feel quite right. Seriously out of place here…I should go. I am going… But they did invite me. Would it be rude to not show up? Yes, yes it would. So a doorbell… where is the doorbell. Suddenly the doors opened as if they had heard her thoughts and an old lady appeared in front of her.
"Welcome miss…"
"Felicity. Smoak. Felicity Smoak." The woman eyed her dubiously.
"You a reporter miss?"
"No, she is defenitly not a reporter Raisa. Don't worry. If she is, well, I will kick her out personally!" A wide grinning Tommy appeared behind the woman and Felicity let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.
"Don't you even dare Merlynn. Besides you wouldn't be able to with the self-defense Diggle has been teaching me." She smiled at her new friend and stepped inside as the Raisa stepped aside for her.
"OOhhhh, I'm all scared now. You're like a chipmunk, I think I can take a hit from a chipmunk." Tommy put on a mock scared face as he took her arm and swooped it through is own. He guided her through the big hall and into the livingroom which was crowded with important people.
Why am I here again? "Because I asked you to!" Stupid brain to mouth filter… "I can't survive an entire evening with all these boring people without my favourite geek!" She looked down to see a smiling Thea Queen clinging around her waist. She smiled tenderly at the younger woman. She had became such good friends with Thea ever since Oliver decided to disappear again. They had been able to find comfort in each other and ofcourse there was Tommy for the much needed comic relief. It was amazing really how the three of them had found each other. Especially considering how weird a bunch we are together. The best friend, the sister and the personal geek. Seriously, we could have our own reality tv-show should we want to.
"Sooooo," Thea began,"have you seen Ollie yet?" A small moment of nerves took over as she thought about it. Oliver. She hadn't seen him in months and now here she was. In the Queen Mansion. His house. And Thea's house. That thought seemed to calm her, if only just a bit.
"No, not yet. I bet he's busy anyway. I mean there are a lot of people here. It's christmas AND it's his welcome home party." Again. "There must be many things he has to do before he has time for me. He is making his rounds. Shouldn't you be making rounds?"
"I'll make rounds, if you stop making excuses." Thea looked at her. Determined to win the argument.
"I…I don't know what you're talking about Thea. Excuses? What excuses. It's not like I don't want to see him or anything, hahaha. I mean it's not like I'm nervous right? Is it hot in here?" She looked around the room, feeling a blush creep up on her cheeks.
"You'll be fine Lis. I am sure he has missed you too !", Tommy replied with a reassuring smile. Ah, Tommy. The peacekeeper. The only one who had seemed to be able to keep her sane for the last few months. And Digg ofcourse. Where is Dig anyway? She let go of Tommy's arm and excused herself. Wandering around the room she found herself fascinated by the many unhappy faces around her. For the love of God, how hard is it to smile people. It's christmas! Happy times! COME ON!
Suddenly there was a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see a smiling Digg standing there. "Merry christmas kid!" She smiled and stood on her tippy toes to kiss him on the cheek.
"Merry chistmas bro!" She laughed at the disgusted face Diggle made as he heard her say 'bro'.
"Please don't EVER say that again!"
"I can make no such promises my friend. I mean did you see your own face? Priceless!" They walked out the livingroom and into the kitchen, which was empty. "So you here as you or as bodyguard/driver you?", she asked him as she took a seat on the counter.
"The last one. Although I haven't seen him all night so there isn't much guarding to do. Not that he needs it anyway." He looked at her with a sad look in his eyes.
"You haven't seen him yet either right?", she asked looking up from her feet. He shaked his head,
"No. The only ones who has seen him so far are Thea and Raisa. Thea said he said he was coming down tonight but I highly doubt it." "So where is he now? WAIT, I know. I still have that tracking device I put on all of you!"
"You put tracking devices on us without us knowing?"
"Well would you have agreed if I asked you?"
"No."
"There's my point." She pulled out her phone and started tracking. "….He's in his room. I'm…. I'm gonna go check okay? Tell Thea and Tommy I'll try to get him down." He simply nodded and Felicity headed towards the staircase.
Okay so up the stairs…. And then take a left…. And the second door after that. GOTCHA! Slowly she opened the door. It was an enormous room but she couldn't see much more than that because all the lights were of and the room was pitchblack except for the small hint of light that now came from the door. "Oliver?" No sound. She put her hand against the wall and started moving it until she found a switch and turned the light on, an unhappy groan coming from the bed.
"Oliver? Are you seriously in bed? What the hell? Everyone is waiting for you downstairs."
"Is that your way of saying you miss me?" So his sense of humour is still in tact. Whoop-dee-do.
"No, but it's the best you're getting right now so just go with it. Now come on get out of bed. What are you, a big baby?"
"Felicity I'm not coming down. It was a mistake coming back. I'm leaving tomorrow and.."
"NO! Don't you dare run off again! Do you have any idea how worried everyone was? Thea? Tommy? Diggle? ME!? You lef tus. You lef tus when we needed you! When this city needed you!"
At the last sentence there was a stir in the bed and he sat up. "I didn't come back to become the Hood again Felicity! You saw what happened! I destroyed the Glades! Thousands of lives were lost! YOU NEARLY DIED! Several times! Tommy did die! And it was all my fault!", he whispered the last part.
"Yeah, well… Tommy's okay now so…. He's downstairs waiting for you, you know. And… and…", her voice trailed off.
"I came back for Thea. To be her brother. To be CEO of Queen Consolidated. To save my company. Not my city. I can't. And so this", he motioned his hand between the two of them, "is over."
Her mind went blank as he said the words. This is over. He no longer needed her and so there was no reason for her to be here. He was right. How could I ever have thought that we were more than just collegues… Who was I fooling. We're not friends. We never were. A tear slipped down her cheek and she turned around. Not wanting him to see how his words affected her. "You're right. I uhm… I should go. Goodbye mister Queen." Not bothering looking back she left and turned the light back off. Leaving a stone faced Oliver alone in the dark.
She almost flew down the stairs. Wanting to leave this house as soon as possible, teard now full on streaming down her face.
"What happened?", Thea and Tommy yelled in unison.
"Nothing. He told me to leave." That we're not friends. That he doesn't care about me. "And so I am. Leaving, that is." Thea's brows furrowed in confusion. How much she looks like her brother right now.
"But he told me you were friends? How does that make any sense?"
"He said he wasn't going to be the man he was before he left…", Felicity replied as she looked at Tommy, whose eyes suddenly went sad. He knew what she meant by that. He wasn't picking up the Hood again. And so there was no connection between them. No reason for outsiders to see they even knew each other.
"I'll take you home", Tommy said as he grabbed her coat and fished out his car keys from his pocket. "I'll have someone bring your car back tomorrow. For now, let's just go." She nodded in agreement and said goodbye to Thea, who was still confused, and Digg, who gave her a reassuring smile.
"I'll stop by with take out tomorrow 'kay?"
"Deal." Her tears had stopped and as she go tinto Tommy's car she told herself she was done being sad. Done with thinking about Oliver Queen. He didn't need her anymore, and so she didn't need him. From now on I am going to be happy. And Oliver is not going to be part of that.
At that last thought her heart cringed in her chest, but she ignored it.
TAM TAM TAAAAMMMM! What will happen next? What will Oliver do? Will they ever see each
other again? (ofcourse they will this is an olicity fic guys).
Next chapter: We will see how Tommy and Felicity became friends and how Thea found comfort in the IT-girl. It will be a complete flashback chapter with Tommy and Felicity and Thea bonding! After that we will go back to where we left them off this chapter! It will contain jealous!Oliver muhahahaha. I will post chapter three next week on friday. Tell me if you want 2 chapters at the time, each time. Chapter 3 is already done so I you let me know I still have time to write chapter 4!
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did, and please leave a REVIEW. They are my lifeforce. DON'T LEAVE ME TO DIIEEEE *over dramaticly punching the sky*. Luv ya :)
