So I have been thoroughly disappointed with the lack of William scenes in the past couple episodes, especially given all the steps Felicity and Oliver have taken in their relationship. As a child of divorce, I thought I'd fill in some of the missing William, Oliver and Felicity scenes from the past couple of episodes.
This scene is in 6x03, after Felicity tutors William but has to leave.
Enjoy!
"Wait, so these are Monte Cristos?" William asked his father as Felicity ran out the door. Oliver was going to lead her out, thank her again for tutoring his son as she put on her shoes and ran out to meet the team.
Instead he turned back to his son, nodding. "Yeah, it's ham, cheese and waffles." Oliver explained. "If you're taking a break, do you mind if I join you?" He asked William nervously, not wanting to interrupt his studying like he had done so many times already this week.
William closed his textbook, nodding to his father. "Yeah, you can have Felicity's sandwich."
Oliver sat down, grabbing the other sandwich and watching as William took his first bite.
"Woah, this is good. Surprisingly good." William decided as he swallowed.
"What, did you think they were going to be bad?" Oliver chuckled.
"Well I mean you did use waffles instead of bread to make a sandwich…" William teased.
Oliver laughed at his witty son.
As the two ate, Oliver's mind replayed the image of Felicity bonding with his son. It made him happy knowing that two of the most important people in his life were getting along.
"Thank you for getting Felicity to tutor me." William said, shaking Oliver from his thoughts. "She's really smart."
Oliver smiled. "Yeah she is. I'm glad you liked her." Oliver took a breath, gaining his courage and while hiding the enormity of what he was about to say, he nonchalantly said, "I was actually thinking she might hang around a little bit more if that's alright with you."
William shrugged. "Yeah sure. Felicity is pretty cool so I guess that'd be okay."
Oliver let out the breath he had been holding. William seemed to like Felicity and now that he was okay with her hanging around, Oliver felt as if things were looking up for him. He and William seem to be getting along, figuring things out as father and son, and now that William and Felicity had met and liked each other, maybe he could see about him and Felicity getting back together. Oliver smiled, feeling like things were finally falling into place for him.
"Hey William, if Felicity is going to be hanging around a little more, tutoring you and such, what would you think about me giving her a key to the apartement? Then she could over anytime and help you with math or just hang out." Oliver asked. "Would that be okay with you?"
William shrugged, his mouth full. He was nodded as he swallowed. "Yeah, that's okay." William seemed oblivious to the importance of his answer.
"Good." Oliver said, taking another bite of his sandwich, trying to contain his emotions as the two finished their sandwiches.
