This was supposed to be a 100-300 word drabble in response to a tumblr prompt but I kinda got carried away and it's a little over the limit, but who cares.


Summary: Oliver is mad at Felicity for putting her life in danger...again.


I Can't Lose You

Felicity slammed the door and stormed down the concrete stairs heading straight for her computers. She heard the door open and close a few seconds later. Oliver's angry voice echoed as he rushed down the stairs heading towards her.

"Felicity!"

He was furious. The last time she'd seen that look on his face was when he'd put three arrows into the count. However, this time he wasn't the only one riled up.

"If you ever do something like that again, I'll -"

"You'll what, Oliver?" she shouted, cutting him off.. She was angrier than he was. He had no right to treat her this way, despite the fact that they were together now. "What will you do? Chain me to my desk? Keep me locked up in the foundry? Or will you just lock me up in our bedroom and throw away the key?" She stood with hands on her hips, her face red and her lips white with fury.

Oliver ignored her snarky remarks, "You could have been hurt. Or worse! What were you thinking?!"

"Well, clearly I'm not hurt!"

"That's because I was there in time to save your ass again! The last time you went off on your own, you ended up getting shot, or is your memory suddenly failing you?"

"Like I said," she waved her arms in front of him, "Not one scratch! So will you please get your head out of your ass and remember that you don't own me for three seconds?"

She turned around, clenching her hands at her sides, and started walking away from him. She wanted to get out of the foundry before she said something she'd regret later, but before she could take three steps, Oliver's hand shot out and he grabbed her arm. He yanked her back towards him, turning her around to face him again. Before she had time to regain her bearings or realize what was happening, his lips came crashing down to find hers in a harsh kiss

Felicity stood there frozen in his grasp, too stunned to react. Oliver wrapped an arm around her, deepening the kiss, wanting her to respond, waiting for her response, but instead she tried to push him away.

He broke the kiss, leaning his forehead against hers, and whispered against her mouth, "Felicity, if anything ever happened to you, if I ever lost you, I would never..." he paused, taking a deep breath, not caring that she could see the unshed tears glistening in his eyes, threatening to spill out. "I...I could never survive losing you."

"Oliver..." her hands cupped his face, her thumbs wiping away the tears that were now falling, her own tears welling in her eyes, "you're not going to lose me."

"Felicity, my greatest fear is that one day you'll find yourself in danger and I won't get there in time to save you. Promise me you'll never do anything like this again." he pleaded.

She sighed, releasing the tension from her body. "I promise." she vowed.
