Author: mystic_blue17

Summary: [Drabble Trio] What do Green Arrow and Watchtower talk about in bed? Or is the better question what do Oliver and Chloe talk about?(set after Collateral)

Disclaimer: I don't own these characters or plots nor do I plan on receiving any profits from writing about them. Well other than the constant stimulus from them and the plot bunnies that they inspire.

A/N: What did they talk about after their reunion at Watchtower?

How could I resist Collateral itself? I'll leave the heavy stuff for TPTB to explain but I do want to do a little something. I had to after your fabulous reviews for part# 2.


Sometime between round two and drifting off to sleep, Oliver said to her. "So this didn't turn out the way I thought it would."

She arched her eyebrow at her. "Really? Because this was exactly how I thought we would spend the night."

"This was a given." he gestured between themselves in their undressed state. His eyes glinted mischievously at her. "But I meant that I wanted take you out on a date, a real date."

She chastised him softly. "Oliver."

"Sometimes I wish that we could go do things the normal way."

She said jumping into his fantasy. "You could pick me up at the Talon."

"Lois would force you to make me wait ten long minutes while lecturing me the house rules."

"You could bring me my favourite flowers."

"A dozen tulips." he placed a gently kiss on the corner of her mouth as she smiled.

"And I would make you stutter when you see me all dolled up."

"In one of those black strappy dresses."

"I know exactly which dress I would pick out."

They looked over to her dress de jour currently half hanging off a chair almost on the floor. They shared a satisfied smile. Well at least they knew it looked good there

"Then I would take you to the best restaurant in town and wow you with my knowledge of foreign languages."

"Essentially making me putty in your hands." he stroked her back knowing that this one move was enough to liquefy her.

"Then someone would greet us. And I finally get to introduce you as my girlfriend." he looked at her waiting to see if the label of girlfriend would be too much or even not enough.

She simply nodded at him. "No more hiding what we are to each other."

"No, the world could know us."

She pulled him closer to herself. "We could go to a show next?"

He kissed her temple lightly and grinned into her hair. "We would of course get a frisky in your private booth."

She mocked sighed "Well you do pay a lot of money for that. We might as well use it to our advantage."

"And after all that we would come back here for a night cap and play that indoor game."

"Ahh now that's what I'm talking about." Chloe teased.

They let the sweet idea of their "first date" wash over them.

"So at least we got one thing right." He whispered as he Eskimo kissed her.

"Oliver we got the most important thing right." she told him. They ended up in the exact same place in life and in the scenario. "We are together and really that's all the matters to me.

He sighed again. Chloe could tell that this was something that was really bothering him.

She cupped his chin and said honestly "I know if you could, you would Oliver."

He spoke looking deep into her eyes. "After all we have been through, I just want you to have everything."

"Oliver, I don't need anything else."

"You are holed up in a tower with a fugitive of the law. That's not really….ideal." he said trying to point out the flaws in their situation.

"Well when the fugitive looks like you…. "She said teasingly. He opened his mouth to interject. "No. Wait seriously Oliver, I have you and to me that's everything."

She sighed. She knew that with her absence, she would have a lot of ground to make up for. Oliver was insecure in their relationship. It was a place that she never thought they would be in. Her actions saved the group but it also took trust and a large chunk of time away from Oliver and Chloe's relationship.

"All that matters is that you and I are here right now in the same place, safe and healthy. We will have all that stuff, the tulips and the fancy dinners, sometime down the road. Right now I don't want to share you with anyone else."

"Down the road?" They had briefly alluded to it in their earlier conversation but it didn't hurt to confirm her plans whenever he could.

She answered without hesitation. "Yea. I'm hoping we can start a Friday night tradition. Wine, good food and you. That sounds like everything to me." To him, it sounded like plans for the foreseeable future. It was exactly what he wanted.

He felt some of the tension leave his body. It did not go unnoticed by Chloe.

"Now where would we be doing this tradition? I guess this would be a good time to tell you that the Talon exploded." He said the words easily, knowing that half of her closet was at his place already.

"Hmmm." she pretends to mull it over. "Now if only one of us was a billionaire who had several apartments across the country including one not too far away from here. Oh wait that's you." She said tapping him on the nose.

"How convenient. I wasn't planning on letting you out of my sight."

"Works for me. I was planning on being wherever you are."

No, Chloe and Oliver did not have the picture perfect first date. Now wasn't the time for that. There were computers to be updated, a wedding to plan, names to be cleared and as always, a world to save. But at the end of it all, the only thing that they needed was to be together.


A/N: I don't know. I don't think I like this one as much as I thought I would. It didn't flow as easily as the other ones did. But it is done and you guys deserve something. Review please! Tell me what you think.

Also sorry if this fic is a little inconsistent with my writing. There is a weird vibe going on in my house right now. And I'm feeling pretty affected. Blah. Vibes+writing = a mixed up author
