Nobody Wants to Be Alone

Felicity didn't know what was happening between her and Ray. After hearing what Oliver had told Cutter, she didn't know what to think, let alone what to feel. In actuality, Felicity felt another piece of her heart break at his words. So, rather than waiting for Oliver to come back to the Foundry, Felicity returned back to her office to work. Work always kept her mind off of everything and everyone–which is what she truly needed now.

Ray found her and let her know that because of what she had told Mr. Gardner, he had decided sell to them. Of course, Felicity being who she is, joked about keeping the ten million dollar necklace, knowing very well that it was on loan. There was something there, but Felicity doubted that it was attraction as she only liked Ray Palmer as a friend. Despite the similarities that she had seen in both him and Oliver, she knew that she had a type. But, Ray was a friend and her boss, nothing more. Their relationship and her end of whatever it was that they had going on was simply…platonic. Just like Barry.

The only reason they got along was because they spoke the same language and they were dorks and nerds. It was simply bound to happen that they were only ever going to be friends. It made Felicity wonder if she would ever move past Oliver Queen one day? And, truthfully, she didn't want that to happen. For deep down–way, down–she still had hope and as much as she hated it, Felicity will be waiting. However long, that was.

When Ray offered to take off the necklace for her, Felicity was about to thank him when a movement on the corner of her eye caught her attention. She looked around Ray and was very surprised to see Oliver stopping just before the glass doors, staring at them. Her heart skipped a beat at the sight of him, that small speck of hope buried deep down coming to the surface at the mere sight of him. Of course, her mind then begin to race within a second.

"Oliver?" she called out, tilting her head with concern.

Could something have happened between Oliver handing Cutter over to ARGUS and now? Was someone hurt? Kidnapped? Dead? No, she couldn't think that last part. They've lost so much already since Sara, that something so soon will break them all. Not to mention, Oliver didn't seem all that broken, so a death wasn't what had happened. No, it must've been something crime-related–oh, Felicity hoped, nay, prayed that whatever happened was crime-related–for he wouldn't just show up if something, truly, bad had happened.

She hoped.

Oliver cleared his throat, walking further into the room, nodding to Ray before solely staring at Felicity, smiling slightly to let her know that all was well with everyone. "I'm sorry, I guess I should have called first."

"No, no, you're fine." Ray tells him quickly, smiling, before walking over to Felicity. "But I do need to take this back tonight." he laughed.

Felicity chuckled nervously, giving Ray her back. She wasn't sure what to think with Oliver there, looking so…Oliver. She cleared her throat once Ray took off the necklace, turning back around to stare at the man she knew that she was utterly in love with. Ray said a few more words, Felicity wasn't sure what those words were as there was only her and Oliver now, in that moment. She felt slightly bad, but something was going on with Oliver and Felicity couldn't wait to know what that something was.

"So…I'll just be going, then. Excuse me."

Felicity heard Ray said before he left. She would have to make it up to him for ignoring him, but for now it was about time that the left. Oliver pushed his hands into the front of his jeans pocket, let her know that she was nervous. Though, why would he be nervous? He was Oliver Queen, after all! As well as the Arrow! There was now no one else around but her, and she's just plain Felicity, IT genius.

"You're not just plain Felicity to me, Felicity." Oliver suddenly said, walking slowly towards her. "You are more than what I deserve."

Felicity felt her eyes going wide, as her mouth made an O shape, feeling her face going slightly red. "Oh, I so did not mean to say that out loud."

Oliver smiles, that grin that he would only reserve for her. "I know, but I'm glad you did. At least I know a little of what it is that you're thinking right now."

"Why do you want to know what I'm thinking?" Felicity asked, still slightly confused as to why he was there.

"Because despite what you had heard me tell Cutter, there was something that Diggle told me tonight." he told her, stopping before her.

Felicity didn't know if she was breathing or if she even could. But her heart was beating too quickly for her liking, as well as the anticipation. "What's that?"

"That I needed to tell you what needs to be said…before it was too late." he started, taking out his hands from his pockets to take hold of her face.

Before Felicity can say anything, Oliver was kissing her. Kissing her like his life depended it or like a starving man. She gripped at his wrists, kissing him back just as hungry, feeling her eyes filled with tears. However, this time they weren't tears of heartbreak or sadness, but of happiness and joy that she has not felt in a while. And, oh, she didn't want it to end. Not so quickly, at least.

She opens her eyes when Oliver pulls back, sighing with content and smiling that smile of his down at her. Felicity stares up at him, wondering if this was real, and waiting. Oh, yes, she was waiting for the words that she now finally understood he wanted to say. What she wanted him to say. What they both needed to hear and say.

"Felicity," Oliver starts, pausing, taking a deep breath. "Know that I have not said this to anyone else since I've gotten off that island and had come home."

Felicity swallowed, but her throat and mouth were still dry from the confession that he just given. "I can't take this anymore, please just tell me!"

Oliver quietly laughs, smiling, "I…I love you."

Felicity sighs, moving her hands from his writs to the front of his jacket. "About damn time!" she muttered before slamming her own lips against his.

Oliver, smiling against her, wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her back, taking over the kiss once more. Felicity didn't mind, there was plenty of time to take over the kisses that she knew were going to be in the future, and she planned to make sure that each and every one of those will happen. And then some. Oliver pulled back, placing his forehead against hers, smiling just as wide as she was, no doubt.

"Oh, I love Diggle!" Felicity muttered, before realizing what she had said. "I mean, I love him in a very platonic way, I mean! Not like the way I do you, but more like a brother, who loves to interfere and push stubborn, ex-billionaire-turn-super-hero to finally admit that he's wrong and stupid all at the same time. And whatever comes our way, we'll tackle it together! No more doing things solo and no more keeping things from me just so you can keep me safe! If this is going to happen, you're going to have to open up and not hold anything back! I know you want me to be safe and not get hurt, but you have to remember that I knew what I was signing up for and I've already had my fair share of getting hurt, but that's just part of what we do."

Oliver kissed her, quieting her down, before pulling back, chuckling. "Well, at least I know how to stop your babbling."

Felicity playfully glared at him, pushing at his shoulder. "It won't work all the time!" she and Oliver stared each other down, before she sighed, rolling her eyes. "Okay, it would, but it doesn't mean that I'll always like it!"

"Duly noted," Oliver said, chuckling. "Come on, let's go eat somewhere and we'll talk about what you've just said."

"How about we grab something and head back to my place?" she grinned up at him, biting her lower lip. "I'll even let you sleep on the bed, if you like."

Oliver barked a laugh, letting her go so she can grab her purse and phone. As they walked alongside each other to the elevators, he took her hand and interlaced their fingers. She glanced up at him, smiling shyly, Oliver smiling back. Despite all that he said and all that was to come, they were in this together and Felicity was not planning of letting whatever this was go any time soon. Even when Oliver wanted it to.

"I guess the saying is true." Felicity suddenly said, the both of them walking into the elevator as soon as the doors opened.

Oliver frowned, staring down at her. "And what's that?"

"That nobody wants to be alone." Felicity tells him, looking up at him with a smile.

Oliver smiled back and leaned down, capturing her lips in a quick, sweet kiss. "Yeah, it's true." he whispered before kissing her again, the doors finally closing on them.
