Hey guys! First Olicity fic here on FF! Hope you guys like it!
Some stupid, noble reason, isn't it?
Sara is the one who make him conscious of his attraction to her.
It's a late wednesday night, they are all gathered around a table in the new lair, eating burgers and fries. Roy is talking no stop about some childhood friend and a strange story with a balloon and a bike, but Oliver is not paying any attention to him, he's more interested in the blonde girl at his right.
They've been stealing each other fries, Oliver ate all her ketchup and Felicity drank his diet coke. She leaned forward and cleaned his cheek that was full with ketchup, and he rest his hand on her arm subtly, rubbing his fingers in a gentle way.
They smile at eachother, oblivious of the rest of the world. But Sara saw it all.
Later, when Felicity has left with Digg and Roy has disappeared Gods know where, Sara approached him.
"So", she said smiling at him, "You got the message..."
"What message?"
"About you getting the chance to bring out the light inside of you?" Sara said annoyed.
"Sara, I don't know what you're talking about"
"You and Felicity"
"What's with us?
"Ollie...it's damn obvious...you're in love with her"
Oliver, for once, was out of words. He had this confused face that Sara really enjoyed watching, like he just realize it. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out and it stay forming an "O", frowning, looking at nothing on the north wall.
"She's the kind of light I was talking about" the blonde assassin said to his ear with a pat on his back, and she left the lair with a big smile on her face.
Diggle is the one who pushed him to act on it.
They're fixing some weapons on a table, hearing Felicity and Roy laugh at some video on her computer desk, with calming smiles on both the men faces.
"You never looked this relax, man" Digg commented, Oliver raised an eyebrow at him, "Don't get me wrong...it's a nice sight"
"Well, things are good..."
"Yeah"
Felicity laughed again, turning to look at them." You guys have to see this" she said with a huge smile, locking eyes with Oliver, and turning on her chair again. He kept his look at her, she was so bright, she bring out this side of him, a full of hope side.
"You know", said Digg with a knowing smile, "it wouldn't hurt the city if the Arrow takes a night off"
Oliver turned his head to him. Digg raise his eyebrows in a suggestive way tilting his head towards their blonde partner, Oliver didn't even look surprised, but a small smile came at view.
"You think I can have a normal life, one with my city calm, my family and friends safe, the girl I lov-..." Oliver cut himself, " Everything?"
Digg just nodded.
Oliver contemplated him for awhile, then left the supplies he had on the table and moved to Felicity's table. He punched Roy on the back and murmured a "Go bother Digg for awhile".
Digg just chuckle moving his head, when Roy joined him, they both turned to look at the pair now fully engrossed in each other.
"Well...it's about damn time" Digg said earning a laugh from Roy.
It was Oliver himself who pushed her away.
He knocked on her door, tired shoulders and pensive look. Felicity opened to fast, which made him realize she was expecting him.
She looked at him and let a knowing breath out, "Let me see, you're going to used what happened tonight like an excuse for stopping whatever it is that is happening between the two of us?"
Oliver put his hands on his pockets and lean on the doorframe looking at her, pleading her to understand.
"It's to dangerous"
"It has been like that since the moment we started this, you didn't care before"
"I always cared, but now is different...I can't lose you...because if I do, that's it for me, Felicity...nothing will ever matter again"
"You don't know that"
"I do" he said moving toward her, "I am extremely sure of it" closing the distance and resting his head on top of her, "I have never been this sure of anything in my life"
"Oliver..." she whisper coming closer to his body, resting her hand on his heart. "It doesn't have to be like that..."
"Yes" he said kissing her head, and then her cheek, "it does"
They stayed like that for awhile, Oliver grabbing her face on his hands, Felicity feeling his fast heart beat, their eyes never leaving each other.
"I hate you, and your noble reasons" she said with a sad smile, "but I understand"
Oliver looked at her, he wanted to take it all back, he wanted to tell her how much he love her, but he didn't, and it wasn't neccessary either because Felicity stood tiptoe and gave him a soft kiss on the lips, a kiss that tasted like a promise.
"Okey"
"Okey"
Ray Palmer is the one who almost make him lose her.
They were all standing close to a hospital bed where Felicity laid pale and steady. It has been a too damn close call. A bullet near her right lung.
Oliver blamed himself, if he had been there this wouldn't have happened, but he wasn't there, and that was not his fault but somebody elses.
"I'm gonna murder that Palmer guy when I see him" Roy murmured from his left side, and Oliver though he was going to have to wait because the first punch belong to him. "Why didn't she called us?"
"This better not have been Palmer's idea" Digg said looking at the pale blonde and resting a hand on her head, "This is not something Felicity will do without asking us"
"They were working on a cure for some disease, she didn't gave me any specs, but she told me it was something Ray really wanted" Laurel said, standing from her chair and walking to the bed, "I thought it was Arrow related, otherwise I wouldn't have told her where the drug was being dispatched"
"We know Laurel" Oliver said.
There was a knock on the door and every head turned to see who it was. Diggle had to put a hand on Oliver and Roy chests to stop them.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Oliver spouted.
"I came to see my girlfriend" Ray said hesitating.
"Your girlfriend my ass" Roy intervened, he pushed Digg arm away and walked to the man, "Why did you left her alone in there?"
"We never thought it was a trap"
"That's right, you didn't thought, and now she has to suffer the consequences..." Oliver said standing between Ray and Felicity's bed, "Why did you left her go alone to solve your problems? She was supposed to be safe with you!" he screamed, "She was supposed to have a normal life, far from death and danger!"
"Felicity wanted to help" Ray said ashamed, "She was always trying to help my research, she understand that the greater good sometimes has its consequences..."
"You have got to be kidding me!" Roy yelled, "What greater good?"
"Felicity's life is more important that any damn stupid project you're working on" Digg said, his arm muscles moving with anticipation. "So don't you ever dare to compare your incompetence with protecting her with Felicity wanting to help your sorry ass"
Ray tried to talk, but Oliver raised his hand stopping him, "You put her in danger...you don't get to stand here and talk...you don't get to be near her at all...so leave"
Ray was mad now, "You don't decide who can be here or not, I'm her boyfriend, you let her go..."
"And look where is she now!" Oliver was red angry, "I won't said it again, leave,or I'll put an arrow on you"
"And then I'll put another one", Roy said looking at Ray.
"And I won't stop them" intervened Digg.
Ray looked at Laurel who just nodded and he turned around, leaving them alone.
"You boys..."said Felicity's weak voice, "If anybody is ever going to beat Ray's ass is going to be me, but thanks for the support"
Roy is the one who helps him with a plan.
They were training with some arrows on the opposite site to Felicity's desk, but Oliver could see her every move, she look tired and sad, and he knew it was because of Palmer.
A week after the bullet incident she announced their break up, and Oliver had to beat his lips to not smile in she has been quiet since, and Oliver didn't like it. He was looking at her over his shoulder until Roy hit him on his head.
"Don't you ever do that again" he said turning to look at the kid. Roy just stared.
"Stop with the creepy staring Oliver, its freaky"
"I'm not staring"
"Yes you are" Roy said annoyed, "look, I know she's having a hard time, maybe you should talk to her"
"She doesn't want me to talk to her. She misses Ray, that's all"
"Do you even know why they broke up?" Roy asked, his voice becoming a whisper. Oliver denied with his head, "It was her decision, she end it."
"But, why? Did he do something else?" Oliver asked getting agitated. After the bullet fiasco Felicity didn't stop dating Palmer, wich ended up in the biggest fight Oliver and her ever had.
"He asked her to stop working with the Arrow" Roy said, looking mad to even had to say that. "Of course Felicity said no,so he gave her an ultimatum..."
"The nerve..."
"Yeah well, it came back to beat him, cause Felicity dump him" Roy explained, "She said she wasn't changing her life just because he was insecure"
"I should've had put an arrow on him" Oliver commented, "Wait, insecure? Why?"
"He's stupid like that" Roy said, "He thought Felicity was going to stop working here and help him instead, when she said no, he said it was because she didn't believe in him like she believes in you"
Oliver heart was full of pride. He knew she believes in him, he knew she believes in Ray's plans, but for her to stay with them...He knew this wasn't Felicity choosing him over her boyfriend, this was her choosing this life, the one he tried to push away from her, the one he had wished in the past she didn't choose. He was so wrong. Just like Palmer.
"She's the heart behind all this, Oliver" Roy said with a small smile, even this kid who hated everybody now loved her unconditionally.
"I know that Roy"
"So what are you gonna do now?" he asked with a smirk, "Are you gonna sit and wait for another man to come and get her? because, believe me, they'll be a lot..."
"I-" Oliver cut himself short, he looked at her reading the news and all he wanted was to see her smile again, "What should I do?" he asked hesitating, embarrased to ask Roy.
"Well, in my experience, when you like a girl, you let her know..."
Laurel is the one who gives him the perfect idea.
He's alone in the lair for once, working in the salmon ladder, when he heard the clicking of some heels. He jumped, already forming a smile, and waiting for Felicity to show up, when he saw Laurel.
"Is everything alright?" he asked worried, Laurel didn't show up there with frequency.
"Yep" she said, "just passing by" Laurel said approaching him. She stand before him and was looking for something from her bag while talking, "I have something for you, I have to ask a few people but I got them...you better give them a good use, Ollie"
Oliver was frowning, looking at her like she had two heads. "What are you talking about?"
Laurel just smile and gave him two tickets. Oliver took them and read the inscription, "White Winter Gala".
"Laurel, I...I can't go..."
"Why the hell not" asked the pissed off lawyer, "Do you have any idea how much trouble it cost me to get those? You still have a few haters in the city, it was not easy to get you those tickets."
"Yeah, well...I didn't asked you to get me this" he responded, now mad too. "I don't want to go to this stupid gala..."
"Well if is not for you the maybe you should do it for-"
"I can't go with you Laurel" he interrupted her, "I thought things were clear between us...I don't...I mean, I have feelings for somebody else"
"Geez Einstein, I know that, you're not exactly subtle" she smile, "I got this for you and Felicity"
"Oh" Oliver said feeling guilty, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to be such a jerk"
"It's OK." Laurel said sitting on a chair an indicating him to sit in the one at front. "I know you and I are over, really over, maybe the kind of over that last forever...I saw the way you look at her...you never, at least that I remember...you never looked at me like that"
"I don't know what to say, I'll say I'm sorry but it won't change things, right?"
"No, it won't"Laurel admitted, "but I know you mean it, so it's fine. I'm in a good place right now, with my job, my dad and Sara, the AA, even with the love life" she winked at him making him laugh, "We were really young Ollie, we were ment to change and maybe move on, and we did..."
"But I cost you so much pain in the middle..."
Laurel took his hands in hers, "And haven't you suffered too?" she smile at him, "It's all in the past now. We made through, we're fine you and I."
"We've always been better friends that a couple" Oliver said caressing her hands.
"Maybe, we've had been good for awhile..."
"A long time ago" they both said at the same time laughing.
They look at eachother until Felicity's shoes were hear coming down the stairs. "Stop the man pain, Ollie. Be happy. You and I, and maybe the entire world, know who can do that"
Felicity was down the stairs at that moment and was looking at them with a funny look. Laurel walked to the stairs, smile at her and said something to her ear that make her blushed.
"What did she said?" he asked, smiling at his blonde partner.
"She said I should wear green"
It is Felicity who meets him at the middle.
He just returned from a mission, with his face covered in blood, a broken finger and extremely tired. Digg and Roy were as bad as has cleaned all theirs wounds, she bought them food, and send Digg to his family at home. Roy was so tired he fell asleep in the lair's cot.
Now they settle in a comfortable silence watching the news in her computer. "You guys are going to give me a heart attack one of this days"
"We're lucky Digg knows CPR"
"Since when you are funny?" she asked smiling at him giving him nudges.
"I always been funny" Oliver said looking at her lips, God he love that smile."You should hear my chicken in a sombrero's jokes"
"I don't want to ever hear that" she laugh. He smile too moving his head making the bandaid in his head pop out. He snorted. "Well look what you have done"
Felicity stood up, took his left hand and walk to the table where she has the medicine supplies. Oliver let her maneuver him. She made him sit in a tall chair, and move between his leg to take care of his face.
He remove the bandage and he whined, "Oh, stop being a big baby!" she said, "you had worst"
"Well you're supposed to be this gentle doctor..."
"Are you saying you have thought of me playing doctor with you?" she teased. Oliver looked at her smiling and nodding. "Well...I was just making a joke..I didn't mean to...well...you know..."
"I like it when you have to play doctor with me" he said making Felicity blushed a beautiful red. He took advantage of their position and rest both his hands on her hips making her took a step forward, crushing their bodies. "I really like it"
He smile a predatory smile, Felicity had opened her mouth to say something, but apparently couldn't. He rubbed his nose against her face making her shiver.
"Oliver..." she whisper, "did you run out of excuses?" her hands are now on his neck and she's smiling a knowing smile.
Oliver nodded. "Well...too bad I only had one chance and I screwed it" he said moving his hand behind her, interweaving his fingers in her lower back.
"Guess you're in luck" she said, her lips inches from his lips, "It's a good thing nobody was counting the first time"
It was Felicity who kissed him. They both left some air out making a loud noise as they kiss, Oliver groan pressing her completely to him, Felicity was tiptoeing and rubbing his hair.
It was such a full of passion kissed that the medical table move behind him, Felicity laugh a little, but her laughter was cut short when Oliver hand found her butt. He grabbed her ass with both hands and lift her up a little, merging their bodies, making her moan.
He stood up from his place and lift her up completely so she can round him with her legs, "You have no idea how long I being wanting to do this" she said kissing his neck.
He settle her down on her computer table, standing between her legs this time, rubbing a hand on her thighs.
"I can only imagine" he smirked lifting her skirt a little to touch her underwear, she squealed. "You...you have no idea how much I want you...how much I love you..." Felicity smile a bigg smile and brought his head to her, kissing him slowly and heavy.
"I know...and I love you...so much...but now...maybe enough words and..."
"Please God, make that line not end with you asking him to show you how much he loves you on the desk!" Roy yelled. He was standing behind them covering his ears, closing his eyes together, a look of panic on his handsome face.
Felicity screamed and stood up hiding herself behind Oliver.
"Do not open your eyes Roy" Oliver said annoyed.
"You guys were about to do the nusty in the lair! Digg is gonna get so mad!"
"Roy, for the love of God, leave!" Felicity yelled, still hiding behind Oliver.
"Fine! But you better clean this place after you're done, and I don't want to find Felicity's underwear in here" he said moving to the stairs, still covering his eyes. Oliver turned around and smile at Felicity, he kiss the corner of her mouth, as she circled his waist with her hands.
"Let me take you home"
"Okey"
"Guys" Roy yelled, "I can't find the stairs! Please tell me you're dress so I can open my eyes!"
