Prompt: Oliver wants to buy things for Felicity

Disclaimer: The usual

"Forget it Queen!" Her voice was loud, and to him, terrifying.

All he wanted to do was spend some money on his girl, but that plan was shot down. It was a particularly easy week. Ever since Oliver defeated Slade, the city has been quiet. Because of this, Oliver had Roy run patrol - Roy was ecstatic -. He was to think of this as an initiation ritual for becoming Red Arrow. So now, Oliver spent every waking moment with his girl.

Oliver was by no means a complacent man. If he saw something he wanted, he would stop at nothing to attain it. Hell, you could read all about it in old news papers detailing his playboy days. But not her. She would say no, and in fear for his safety, he would back down. She had this weird control over his actions, and he was certain she didn't even know about it.

So when his I'll fated attempt at buying her clothes was shot down, he backed away. He wasn't about to sleep on the couch again. That incident was a fairly funny one. It was their six month anniversary, and Oliver had a special night planned. He was going to take her to dinner at a new restaurant that opened up, 'Valhalla'. Afterwords, they would take a walk on the beach, and give her a necklace that he had specially made by a jeweler in Italy. It has a diamond necklace on a platinum chain. Surround the diamonds were emeralds and sapphires. He spent $23,000 on it, and it was money well spent. For him, no amount of money or gifts would properly show her how much he loves her.

So when they finished their walk on the beach and he presented her the necklace, she was at first angry. He told her that it wasn't expensive (lie). She then pretended to let it go. When they got home, and he went to sleep, she got on er computer and traced this purchases. He even forgot to buy with cash. To say she was angry as an understatement.

"You spent almost a quarter of one hundred grand on a necklace!" It wasn't a question, it was a statement. A statement that had an underlying tone of 'are you stupid!'.

So that night - and several afterwards - he slept on the couch. She always told him that he didn't need to buy her things for her to know he loves her. But that never stopped him.

He was stubborn as a mule. She mused.

And tonight he was trying again. It didn't matter how many times she had to yell or not put out, he never got the message. He would try to ease in small things into her life, hoping she wouldn't notice, but she always did.

"Felicity! Stop being so stubborn!" He was yelling now too. They got into arguments for the stupidest reasons. They would argue about music, movies, shows, which flavor ice cream was the best. Name any trivial matter, and the have argued about it.

"I'm being stubborn! I'm sorry that I don't want to spend an arm and a leg just for clothes of jewelry! That money can be used for greater things like charity. Or cheesecake!"

"Fine! I won't try to buy you anything anymore. Happy?"

"Yes. But you get to sleep on the couch again."
