Hi everyone! I just want to let you know this is my first fanfic so it might be a little rough. constructive criticizing is totally welcome, but no hate please. It's a bit short but I just wanted to try out the system and see what happens. I hope you all enjoy. I do not own arrow or any of the characters.

It had been a long day at work for Oliver Queen dealing with the current issue of Kord industries trying to take over Queen consolidated. Not to mention the fact that Laurel was pestering him about joining Team Arrow. So it was no surprise that The Foundry was a welcoming sight. As Oliver descended down the stairs of the Foundry he noticed a concentrated Felicity Smoak, his bitch with WiFi, gloomily working on Team Arrow jobs. It was a new look for her considering how energized and quirky she always seemed to be. He smiles at the thought, but something wasn't right with her.

"Is everything ok?" Oliver questioned Felicity as he entered her computer area.

"Oh god Oliver! You cannot keep sneaking up on me like that. One day i'm going to end up breaking something," Felicity stated.

Oliver smirked at his I.T girls feistiness.

"Are you okay? You seem a little down." Oliver pointed out.

Felicity didn't answer and kept up reading police reports.

"Hey, you know you can talk to me. I'm here to listen," Oliver said as he walked over to Felicity and gently touched her shoulder.

Felicity sighed and said, "You know Derek my boyfriend? Well he and I were supposed to have a date tonight but he totally bailed on me tonight.
He said he was to tired but I don't think he was actually tired I just think he wanted an excuse to not go out tonight. Then again maybe he had a hard day at work. He has done so many times and its frustrating that he keeps making me..."

Oliver cut her rambling off and said, "Felicity! I get it he bailed on you. If you're not happy with him why are you dating him?"

Truthfully, Felicity didn't know why she chose crappy men as her dates. She thought back to the time when Oliver slept with Isabel Rochev and pretty much shattered her heart when he said he slept with her because he didn't want to sleep with anyone he could care about. There it was: the reason why Felicity didn't date anyone meaning full. After she realized why she was dating Daniel she said, "it's like a good friend once said before. 'Because of the life I lead it's better that I am not with someone that I could truly care about.'"

"Well I think you deserve better than him."

They sat in an uncomfortable silence for a few moments.

"The better guy thinks its too dangerous for him to be with anyone that's why he said he couldn't be with a person he cares about. He believes that he can't be with anyone because of his nightly activities." Felicity said as she stood up to leave the Foundry. Oliver instantly knew this 'better guy' was him. He didn't want to hurt her. He didn't want her life to be on the line because of who he is.

"Felicity! Wait!" He pleaded. Oliver reached for her wrist and pulled her into him. Their bodies molded perfectly as if they were made for each other. Their lips smashed onto each other trying to fight for dominance and to savor the taste of each other. In Oliver, it was like the sun finally broke through the storm that brewed inside. When they came up for air Felicity asked, "Does this mean you're willing to give Us a shot?"

"Felicity, I don't want your life to be in danger because of me" Oliver explained.

"I'm in danger everyday whether or not I am with you. Plus, you're worth the risk,"

"Soooo," Felicity continued, "Are you willing to give US a shot?"

Oliver didn't answer, instead he grabbed her again for another heated kiss.

"I'll take that as a yes," Felicity giggled.

Thanks for reading! Let me know what you think!
