Olicity Drabble: Running.
He was running. The fresh morning air on his face was a nice sensation. The sun was just beginning to rise. The only sound was the ocean roaring. The beach was really beautiful that early in the morning. It was... peaceful. He was starting to get used to peaceful. It was such a foreign concept in his old life that he thought this kind of happiness was never going to be an option for him. But that feeling of ease in his chest was proving him wrong.
-OK... I... GIVE... UP! I...CAN´T ... PLEASE... STOP...! OLI... OLIVER!-
He couldn´t help the big smile that took over his face. He turned around, but never stop his pace.
-OH COME ON! WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED! - He had to scream so she could hear him. His arms wide open while he run backwards.
-WHA...WHAT?! WE´VE BEEN... RUNNING ...FOR LIKE A MILLION YEARS, OLIVER! - She was having trouble to talk, run and breathe at the same time. - I... CAN´T... ANYMORE!-
He had to stop running because she did it firs, with her hands on her knees she was bending, trying to catch her breathe. He walked to where she was and stood in front of her with his hands on his waist.
-You ok? - He asked
-is this funny to you? -she said still trying to breathe normally and looked at him from her position- I´m going to throw up my breakfast right here, right now.
She made that little frown with her nose that he always found adorable.
-Fine...- his smile grew bigger, if that was even possible.- we are done for today.-
-good.-she said satisfied with his answer- cause my legs are burning so bad that I don´t think I will ever walk again-
-Hum...- he said and after giving it a thought; he bent over her and holding her legs he threw her over his shoulder.
-AGH! OLIVER! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
-what? You just told me you couldn´t walk- he said with fake innocence and started walking.
- Put me down! - She said indignantly but he could feel her suppressed laugh.
-Oliver Jonas Queen, put me down right now or help me good..!
- What? What are you gonna do? - he teased
-I swear Oliver! I will release the Brother Eye virus on your laptop!- she screamed-
-Felicity...
-WHAT?
-I don´t have a laptop...
-...I´ll think of something!- she said, but put her down and look at her. Her messy hair, her pink cheeks… his face was hurting from the effort of suppressing a smile.
-You are adorable when you are mad- he said and gave her a kiss on her little nose, which softened her expression immediately.
-You are not playing fair…- she said looking at him in the eyes, the wind losing some strands of her blond hair from her ponytail.
Oliver couldn´t help but think that he was the luckiest man on earth when Felicity looked at him like that. It always made him feel… whole.
- You know me… I always play dirty…-
-That´s what I get for falling in love with an outlaw…- she teased him.
Oliver put one strong arm around her waist and with his free hand put one rebel strand of golden hair behind her ear and rested his palm on her face
-how did I get so lucky?
-oh don´t underestimate yourself Mr. Queen… after all… you have one of those faces…
A blinding smile played on Oliver´s face. And then he kissed her.
After a while they had to pull apart for breath and he rested his forehead on hers.
-I love you – he said.
-I love you too – she said back.
Peace and happiness enveloped him like a warm blanket when he heard the words coming out of her mouth.
In that moment he didn´t need anything else. In that moment everything was absolutely perfect.
