Hearing the door open, Felicity's blonde ponytail bounced as she looked up in surprise to see Oliver walking towards the salmon ladder with a satisfied smile.

Felicity, Roy and Diggle each gave puzzled glances. Oliver had been in a strangely good mood for the past two weeks.

Maybe the being broke is helping Oliver in a good way, thought Felicity as she looked back to her computer riddled with encrypted codes. Felicity liked that Oliver's burst of happiness had become more often, the room almost felt tangibly lighter.

Arching an eyebrow Diggle cleared his throat to find out, "Oliver you're back pretty early, no crime for the Arrow anymore?"

Before chipping in Roy released the arrow he was practicing on, "Diggles right, you didn't even bother taking me with you tonight."

Oliver didn't answer, reaching the top ladder with a grunt as he descended down to go up the ladder again.

Felicity nodded while examining the data of Starling City's crime rate.

"Does it have to do with the fact crime has dropped by 60% ever since you dealt with Slade?"

Roy smirked and snapped his fingers, "Thats why he's so happy"

Diggle shook his head "Maybe it's because he doesn't have to deal with taxes from Queen Consolidated anymore."

Felicity joined into their game "Maybe Oliver finally found a job at Belly Burger!"

Roy snickered, "And now that he has a job, Oliver can finally get a date!"

"Nice" Diggle said to Roy with a wide grin.

Felicity looked up at Oliver to observe his reaction. She blinked,for a second she almost thought she caught him staring at her.

Oliver reach the top again, "Ha ha very funny"

He grunted as he jumped down and walked away from his laughing teammates to grab his water bottle. Diggle got up from his chair and started packing his bags.

"Well I'm out, Lyla will be happy if I come home early."

Grabbing his classic red hoodie, Roy caught up to Diggle, "Can I catch a ride with you?"

"Sure"

They waved goodbye and started walking out.

Felicity pouted as she went back to her typing, "Aww but I liked this game,"

Oliver smiled at Felicity, who was busy typing away about who knows what. It was hard for Oliver to admit to her, but he truly did appreciate her company. Now that Starling City was back to normal there was no harm in appreciating her company without Diggle and Roy, right? Oliver closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "..so..Felicity… speaking about dates..I was thinking.."

Felicity glanced up to see Oliver scratching his head,

"It'd be nice if you and I.. could" Oliver cleared his throat, "You know… hang out together sometime."

Roy and Diggle stopped in their tracks as Felicity's jaw almost dropped, after a second she composed herself and skeptically crossed her arms.

"Brooooooo..." Roy whispered to a smiling Diggle who tried not to do an obvious full 360 turn to watch something he had been waiting for in a long time.

Cocking her head to the side she answered, "I'm sorry … but was that a question or a statement?"

"Both?" Oliver answered.

Felicity went back to her computer not sure whether to take his request seriously. Last time she checked Oliver made it pretty clear there would never be a 'them'. Diggle and Roy crossed their arms waiting for Oliver to continue.

In disbelief Roy added "Felicity, from his body language… I think Oliver is trying to ask you out"

Diggle smacked Roy on the head, "Shut up boy, let em' them talk"

Felicity shook her head "Highly unlikely, he doesn't date girls like me because we could get hurt, remember"

The last part of her sentence was more directed at Oliver who was sighing in guilt.

Roy snickered while Diggle tried holding in his laugh. Oliver glared at them but knew they weren't leaving till he asked her properly. Not liking to repeat himself Oliver sighed was harder than he thought. Oliver walked over to Felicity and unplugged her monitor before turning her chair to face him. Felicity stood up with her arms crossed as Oliver plopped on her chair and turn to face her.

"Hey! I was typing something VERY impor-"

Oliver rolled his eyes as she continued her banters as usual. Patiently waiting till she finished. Felicity looked away and crossed her arms "What about not hurting those close to you?"

Oliver touched her elbow like he usually did to comfort her, this time he felt tingling in his fingers. Oliver looked straight at her, "Listen, from what it seems, crime isn't really a big problem in Starling City anymore… and I really like you, and it would be nice if we could go on a date."

Felicity frowned staying silent.

Oliver scratched his head as he always did when he was nervous, "I mean, at least.. if you want to."

Felicity spent a minute examining his face to see if he was telling the truth. His blue eyes held no lie, she smiled.

"That'd be nice"

Oliver smiled back, "Cool...so see you tomorrow at.. 8?" He said giving her a wink before leaving.

Felicity nodded with a big grin on her face. Roy and Diggle smiled at each other. Before they left Oliver smiled to see Diggle mouthing 'fin-all-y.'

I apologize the beginning is very short, this was only supposed to be a one shot . :) Sorry for any typos, I'm working on it...

But I hope you enjoy the next chapters, they are a lot longer. To all my comic book geeks keep an eye out for small Easter eggs. And thank you for all the wonderful reviews!

**UPDATE** To my new comers as you move on into the chapters you'l realize this isn't your average Olicity fanfic. As you can see, the main genre is humor. There will be laughs, maybe crying, occasional headbangings and OOCs so you have been waaarned.
