It had been a long day when Felicity finally found a chance to take a little break and curl up on the couch for a couple minutes. Rest was rest for her, but she much preferred to have a blanket or a pillow to snuggle into. She was rambling out loud, so she didn't hear the door shutting behind Oliver as he returned to the lair.
"God. I need a cuddle buddy." She paused for a moment. "Or maybe…" She trailed off. She couldn't think of anything. She sighed. "Of course to have a cuddle buddy, someone needs to want to cuddle with me." She shook her head, trying to push the thoughts away. "Like I have time for that shit anyway."
Oliver stood at the bottom of the stairs listening to her little monologue. When he was pretty sure she stopped he moved in her direction.
"Oh Felicity." He shook his head as she jumped, yelping in surprise.
"That's it. Next time you're getting a bell." He ignored her and took a deep breath preparing for what he was going to say next.
"I want to be your cuddle buddy." Felicity's head shot up, making eye contact with him in a split second. He didn't stop though. "Well I'd rather be more than that, but if that's what I can get I'll go with it." Felicity's jaw dropped. "Look I know this is surprising. You were just too adorable talking to yourself over here that I decided to give in.
"Are you sure?" She asked as soon as she had gathered her thoughts on this revelation. He nodded. "Like really really sure?" He laughed.
"Yes. I wouldn't mess with you like this." He bent down so he was kneeling beside her as she laid on the couch. "So what do you say?"
"Yes!" A huge smile crossed her face, and was mirrored by Oliver. He stood, holding out a hand to her.
"Now. Let's go home." Felicity raised one eyebrow.
"Home? As in together?"
"Well duh. I mean you said you wanted someone to cuddle with."
"Oh." Felicity took his hand and stood up.
"Though I wouldn't be opposed to other things." He mumbled under his breath. She heard him and smacked his arm.
"Shut up. Now let's go." They left together, quite happy until they reached the front door of Felicity's apartment.
"One last thing Oliver."
"Why am I worried all of a sudden?"
"Oh don't be. I just wanted you to know that 'cuddle buddy' means space heater."
