Arrow-through-my-writers-block: I'm prompting it, girl. Without hesitation. A follow-up to Oliver selling jewelry on etsy... the moment he gives her the engagement ring and pops the question! The world needs that.

So this is the continuation prompt, I hope you enjoy this story :)...

Oliver was completely and utterly frustrated, he punched the drug dealer square on the jaw knocking him unconscious as he span around sending a tying arrow in the direction of the other, tying him against a pillar. He watched as Laurel took down the drug dealer she was fighting, and Thea had managed to release the kids they had abducted whilst Diggle was face to face with the drug gang leader. He knew Diggle had it covered taking him down easily with a blow to the back of the knee and then to the nose.

This was meant to be a simple mission, get in destroy the drugs, not take on a full gang and discover the children of all ages they'd kidnapped and drugged into making their drugs. They had no option, these children needed to be saved, they were strong enough to take them on so they did, but that meant yet again Oliver's and Felicity's plans had to be cancelled.

Normally he wouldn't be bothered but tonight was meant to be the night he proposed, the night he finally got to show her the ring he had been perfecting for several months now, the ring in his pocket back at the lair. Plus this would be his 4th attempt. He didn't say a word to the group as they got in touch with Lance and Oliver left them to deal with it, getting on his bike to hide some of his disappointment and frustration.

The first time he was going to propose, it was the night before their anniversary. He'd had a picnic laid out on the roof of Palmer Tech, watching the city skyline; it was beautiful and perfect, till he went to get the ring to find it wasn't in his pocket. Apparently Thea had discovered it, and in a rush had put it back in the wrong jacket pocket, she had apologised profusely and tried to make it up to him.

So came attempt number two, a beautiful meal in a top restaurant in Star City, unknown to Thea it was the Italian restaurant of their disastrous first date and before they even managed to get through the door they turned around spending the evening at Big Belly Burger, and the rest of their anniversary in bed (which Oliver was most definitely not going to complain about).

Attempt number 3 went a lot better; they had spent the day at Coast City, having a full day of laughing and joking to themselves. They were stood on the pier Oliver reached inside his pocket to get the ring when suddenly Felicity didn't look so great. It appeared the cake they had shared had contained crushed nuts so they spent the rest of the evening in hospital. Felicity was fine but it effectively ruined the moment.

And now there was tonight, Oliver had booked an exclusive restaurant, he'd paid for a musical serenade and a private area which meant there would be no interruptions but they had missed their reservations by nearly 2 hours and now he was annoyed, completely and utterly annoyed.

The wind blowing against him as he drove so fast on his motorbike didn't curb his anger.

"Oliver." Felicity voice in his ear cut him off. "It's okay we can go another time." He didn't reply. "Please come home."

"I'm on my way." He answered taking the next corner so fast he could feel his adrenaline soaring.

When he finally walked into the lair, he pulled his hood down and placed his bow back in the case. Laurel, Thea and Diggle were all in different stages of dress.

"Are you okay?" Laurel asked as she pulled on her jacket.

"Fine." Oliver said not looking at her. He could see Felicity spinning her chair to face him out the corner of her eye.

"It was just dinner reservations Oliver." She said softly.

"It wasn't!" He snapped. The group fell silent as he turned to face her.

"What is wrong with you?" She asked tilting her head slightly.

"What is wrong with me? What is wrong with me?" He said in frustration throwing his arms in the air. He walked over to his jacket pocket pulling out the velvet red box. Laurel gasped when she saw it, Thea smirked knowingly and well Diggle, he looked unbelievably happy. Felicity's eyes landed on the box, she didn't look surprised in the slightest. "This is what is wrong with me. I've been trying for 4 days to propose to you! I had a speech, I had plans and each of them fell through." He looked at her in exasperation and she was smiling her eyes glistening with amusement. "What?"

"I thought so." She merely stated.

"Was I really that obvious?"

"You kept messing with your pocket, all these restaurants and plans, yes." She said softly and he let his head drop. "Well are you going to ask me?" She asked her face beaming brightly as she sat in her chair. Oliver's head snapped up and we walked up to her with purpose. He dropped onto one knee in front of her.

"Felicity Megan Smoak, I have known you for 4 years now, 4 crazy years where I went from a killer, a monster, to a hero. You played a big part in my journey, you saw the better man I could become, you believed in me when no one else did, and you loved me even when I didn't deserve that love. You said I opened up your heart, but it was you that open up mine. I was closed off, guarded and you," he shook his head a little as he was thinking back, "you pulled down my walls, you made me believe in myself, in others. You had to deal with my stupidity, my stubbornness, for 4 years you have been my support without even realising it. I fell in love with you a little every day from the moment I met you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you by my side. I want to support you, love you, I want a future, and for the first time in my life I think it's possible, with you. So would you do me the incredible honour of being my partner in every aspect of our lives?" Her hand was up to her mouth her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Will you marry me?" Slowly he lifted the lid to reveal a simple white gold band; the centre piece a stunning diamond with 3 smaller emeralds embedded in the band either side of the diamond. She gasped a tear sliding down her cheek.

"Wow." Was all she managed as she wiped the tear away.

"I made it, so now you'll have something made by your fiancé and hopefully husband, if you say yes of course?" He asked nervously still unmoving.

"Oh my god YES! Of course!" She launched forward wrapping her arms around his neck and he fell backwards landing on his ass with her in his lap.

"Ouch."

"Sorry." She giggled and he kissed her. The 3 cheered and wolf whistled with Diggle shouting.

"FINALLY!" She pulled back looking in his eyes as she gave him her left hand, he pulled the ring out the box and slowly pushed it up her finger.

"A perfect fit." Oliver let out a sigh of relief.

"I can't believe you made it."

"Yep, all those jewellery making skills came into good use." He winked playfully.

"What do you feel about making our wedding bands?" She asked and he beamed even more kissing her again with more ferocity.

"Guys! God, put each other down." Thea said and the two pulled back smiling. "Drinks? Let's celebrate!"

"How about Big Belly?" Felicity asked with a smile.

"Perfect." They all answered, slowly she climbed to her feet extending her hand to help Oliver up and he couldn't help but grin, as her ring glistened in the lair lights. He slowly wrapped his arms around her.

"You like it?"

"I really do, and the speech perfect." She smiled kissing the corner of his mouth.

"Right I'm taking Felicity away because otherwise you won't leave and I want to see the ring and talk weddings!" Thea grabbed Felicity's arm pulling gently and she laughed following the younger lady over to Diggle and Laurel who admired her ring. Oliver couldn't help but smile at the family he had made.
