theiitgirll asked: Hiiii, how about Olicity first dance and Thea taking a picture to show them later?
Thea's witnessed first hand the number of girls to pass in and out of Oliver's life.
But there's something different about her. The blonde he spends so much time with. 's beautiful, just like the rest, smart, unlike some of them. But it's not those qualities that make her stand out.
It's the way Ollie looks at her. The way he looks to her when he's doubting himself, seeks resolution in her eyes. The way he smiles at her, a little surprised quirk of his lips, that seems to happen without his permission.
Thea's always been observant, and she knows there's something between them. She's asked, of course, only to be met with adamant denial, and a lot of blushing and rambling on Felicity's part.
But this… This is the final piece of evidence she needs.
They're dancing, oblivious to everyone around them. Felicity's head is resting on his shoulder, while Oliver's is ducked down, his cheek pressed to her temple. Even in her heels he has inches on her. His hands are slung low across her hips, holding her close with his fingers laced together. Her arms are hooked under his, hands gripping the material of his jacket. It's more an embrace than a dance. They're barely moving, slowly swaying from side to side in time to the soft music.
There are people all around them, some couples dancing properly, while others stand idle and gossip. Thea can hear more than one conversation regarding her brother and his partner from where she's standing by the bar. But they haven't noticed. Too lost in their own little world to be aware of their surroundings.
It's sweet. If a little nauseating. Not to mention frustrating because everyone and their grandma can see what's going on between those two. Except, apparently, them.
A lot's happened over the years since Oliver came home from the island. Some good, lots bad. But Felicity's stood by his side through everything. And that, in Thea's book, makes her perfect for him.
She's never seen him as at peace as he looks right now.
Pulling out her phone, she edges a little closer to them, slipping through the crowd so she has an unobstructed view. She takes a quick photo, smiling as she looks at it. She'll show it at their wedding. Tell the story of how oblivious they both were, set the whole room laughing at the thought that they took so long to see what was right in front of them.
They're both short sighted like that. Thea laughs at her joke, pockets her phone, and goes in search of Roy. She needs a sidekick in her plan to get these idiots together.
