So here's another series that I can begin adding to. I feel domestic and fluffy...no I haven't been watching Lilo and Stitch...I regret nothing.
As always, leave a review and tell me your thoughts.
Thanks and enjoy x
You tuck me in
Turn out the light
Kept me safe and sound at night
Little girls depend on things like that.
Brushed my teeth and combed my hair
Had to drive me drive me everywhere
You were always there when I looked back.
"Alright, Mikaela time for bed. Come on, in you get" Oliver said around a smile as he chased his five year old daughter, who was more like her mother than her father.
"Story time! Story time!"
"It's like five minutes before your bedtime miss…you're pushing your luck" in a sing-songy voice that he knew his daughter loved, Oliver sighed at the puppy-dog face Felicity had basically perfected over the years of both friendship and marriage. You'd think after spending so much time with her that he'd be immune to the face…yeah no. "Fine, fine but if your mother finds out about this, I'm blaming you"
Tucking his larger figure under her duvet as Mikaela cuddled up against his side, dipping below his arm, he didn't have to ask to know what story she wanted him to tell her.
It never changed.
"The Guardian!"
"Obviously" despite his mocking tone, Oliver was always left in awe, his heart pounding twice as hard, when not only his wife saw him as a hero but also his five year old daughter. "Alright, where to begin…where to begin"
"Start with when he first met mum!"
"Alright, munchkin. So…as you know, the Arrow, he was never seen through what he was trying to do, even if he was going about it all in the wrong way. His sole mission since the very beginning was to protect his city and the innocent living within. Everybody saw him as a monster…all, except your mum. She saw him in a way that he didn't even see himself, she didn't see a monster…she saw a person hiding beneath the mask that didn't let himself feel. Others always came first before him. When he heard of her, after defending his honour to one of the men determined to hunt him down, the Arrow didn't think it to be true, couldn't think it possible that somebody could see past the wrong he fell upon" gazing at a spot on his daughter's bedroom wall as he recalled the story and the wonder he felt when he first met Felicity and when she spoke about 'The Hood' but not in the disgusted way others had spoken of him"
"But he did, and he trusted her when he got hurt protecting others…so he came to her for her help" Mikaela pitched in, smiling in glee that she was the daughter of the remarkable woman in question.
"Yes he did, he put his trust in her and she didn't let him down despite having the man that could potentially kill her in her backseat. From that point on, the Arrow made it his mission to keep her safe while they began working together. Him going to her for help when he needed it"
Not pausing in the story of how he began to trust Felicity with not only his secret but with his life, Oliver didn't seem to notice his daughter leisurely falling asleep until he felt the weight of her head on his chest increase slightly. Glancing down, Oliver couldn't help the smile that overtook him at the sight of his daughter asleep, snuggled into his side.
"Hey, hero, I don't think you're moving anytime soon" a whisper from the doorway to Mikaela's bedroom soon broke through his train of thoughts, looking up to reveal his wife leaning up against the doorframe smiling that contagious bugger that practically lightened up his entire life.
"You know, there's always room for one more" lifting his other arm, Felicity just took the opportunity to take in the sight of her husband cuddled up with their daughter with a pretty pink duvet covered in tiaras. "…there always is"
Moving quietly towards the bed, Felicity ducked beneath his arm and settled awkwardly on the near-edge of the mattress that was designed solely for the body of one person, not three.
"Don't worry, I won't let you go" murmuring into her ear while planting a deep kiss on her temple, Oliver tightened his grasp of her waist.
"You never do…it's one of the many things I love about you"
"…best decision I've ever made"
