Laurel and Oliver came back to the cave, smiling at each other. They were sweaty and they dealt with a lot of bad guys, but that was the last thing on their minds as they returned.
"They're gonna kill us if they see," Felicity said as she pulled away from Roy's kisses.
He shook his head and dived back in for another kiss. "What's the worst that he can do? Laurel will just hold him back. She loves all this true love crime fighting business," He said with a bit of a laugh.
"Are you so sure about that?" She asked.
He nodded. "Yes, and you just need to relax. No one's going to find out," He told Felicity, "Besides, it's not like we're ashamed of it, right?" He asked her.
She shook her head hard. "Of course not. I'm not ashamed of you. You're my great superhero boyfriend. Are you ashamed of me?" She asked as she sat straighter than she had before.
"Why would I ever be ashamed of you?" He asked. "You're the hottest girl I know."
She snorted a little. "Come on, you dated Thea. You don't have to lie to me. I'm a big girl. I can handle it. I'm not the prettiest girl in the world. And I'm certainly not the toughest, but you love me anyway, okay, I get it." She said as she cupped his face.
"Okay, so can you just relax, no one is ever going to find us. You just need to chill," He said as he pushed her back in her chair and kissed her.
Little did they know that he had activated Laurel and Oliver's comm devices again, by inadvertently pushing one of the buttons around Felicity's desk.
And what Laurel and Oliver got was an earful of kissing noises that they didn't hear because they were a little busy with their own kissing their way back to the cave.
"Oh god, Roy, we should probably take this somewhere else. Not in my chair at the very least. Not that I don't like it in my chair, but seriously," Felicity said.
Oliver and Laurel broke away and looked at each other and then listened more intently. "Um, are you guys okay?" Laurel asked through the comm device.
Felicity froze. "Oh, god, how much have you guys heard?" She asked.
Oliver scowled, "Enough that we'll talk about it when we get back to the cave," He grumbled.
"Shit," Felicity said as she turned the comm devices off and looked to Roy. "Now, we're in trouble."
He shrugged. "Maybe it won't be so bad. You obviously have no practice breaking any of the rules."
"No, I don't; I'm a good girl. I don't break the rules. Seriously, breaking the law is one of those things that hurts me deeply," She told him as a glum look appeared on her face.
He got in front of her chair and made her look at him. "Look, you're gonna be fine, okay? I'm not gonna let him do anything to you, okay?" Roy told her.
"You know you can't kill them right?" Laurel asked Oliver as she took his hand while he tried to stomp off quite angrily.
He shook his head. He didn't want to admit what he was feeling and so they couldn't either. "They broke the rules,"
"Like we didn't?" She asked him.
He blew out a breath and looked into Laurel's eyes. "It's different with you and me."
"It's really not," Laurel told him as she brushed her fingers through the side of his hair. "Look, when we go into battle with Diggle and Roy and you and I are together. That's a liability. You are left with the choice of love or the mission. And we're risking that. It's okay, because we've decided that risk is okay, but it's the same thing that you're trying to keep them from. You're just worried that she'll choose Roy over the mission." She told him as she shushed him.
He looked away from her and tried not to smile at her. He knew she was right, but he didn't want to admit it. Because that meant admitting that he was wrong and not killing Roy for trying to date every girl he knew.
As Oliver and Laurel came into the cave, walking hand and hand, they saw Roy and Felicity sitting a bit apart.
"You don't have to look like you're going to the guillotine," Laurel laughed a little. "You're not in trouble." She said with a smile.
Felicity looked up from her hands and looked to Oliver with her brows knitted. "I thought for sure that those were not going to be the words out of your mouth. I thought it was going to be a lot of yelling of how reckless it is dating team members."
"You already know the risks," He sighed as he looked to Felicity. "And you guys have been dating behind our backs. You've been breaking the rules that we all put down for the safety of the team. But I suppose it's not exactly fair to you to make you follow a rule that I haven't been following exactly," He told her.
Roy and Felicity exchanged a glance and Felicity smiled a little. "Are you saying what I think you're saying?" She asked.
"We're dating…again." Laurel said as she laughed and hugged her arm around Oliver.
Oliver scowled again though, "Roy, if you steal her from me, I swear to god, I will break your face in a way that will be especially memorable." He said as he bared his teeth.
"I'm not anybody's to steal," Laurel said as she hit him with her hip and smiled at him. She wouldn't tell him, but she liked his little bit of possessiveness.
Roy looked at Laurel and smiled. "I'm glad you're both happy. Now, I'm gonna go see my girl, if that's alright with you," He said with a grin as he ran and picked her up.
