Disclaimer : Oliver Queen and Lois Lane are characters from the TVShow Smallville. They are WARNER BROSS and DC Comics property. This drabble was written for a friend of mine who made a LOIS LANE LOVE WEEK.

When she heard he was back in town she was angry. Pretty angry.
Matter-of-facly she wishes she was. But her heart so wasn't agreeing with her brain.
And even if she still feels hurt because of him beeing gone because of his damn work, hurt because he left her behind never asking her to come with him, she still loves him. She knows it.
Grant is a great man. But he is not Oliver.
She knows deeply that if he comes back to her and ask her to be his again, she'd agree because even with him gone, her heart was still his. And only his. She would try to fight, for sure, because she has always been a stubborn fighter but in the end she'd be back to him.

Her pain was just bigger and hurting her even more deeply now.
Now that she knows. Now that Oliver told her all the truth. Why he couldn't never be intense with her, why he would never be only hers.
And this truly hurts. Badly.
He asked her to be his again. He promised he'll be hers, and only hers, as Oliver Queen. But she knows everybody needs a Green Arrow and that Green Arrow would never be hers. Couldn't. And she is just too jealous to even think about sharing him with everybody else.
But jealousy she could deal with, pain and fear she couldn't.
She couldn't think about losing him. About losing that wonderful man. Better not having him than having him and see him one day violently and definitely tear away from her.
Lois Lane is a strong woman. She knows that. She is courageous and confindent but she couldn't deal with losing another man, with losing that man she dearly cares for and deeply loves.
She just couldn't. Better leave the Arrow free to be fired and fight because others need him more than she, they deserve to have a hero to take care of them.
She just could dream about his tender and secure arms around her waist and smell his scent in her dreams when denying during day that she still needs him. She could deal with it.

The Green Arrow needs to be free and she needs to be secure.
Two different heads from the same coin.
