"And where exactly are you, guys?"

Felicity had send Oliver and Digg a text but they hadn't replied her yet and she was starting to freak out. They didn't show up for dinner. She asked Clint if they ever told him about the pizza, he just shook his head.

Thor were really pissed at everyone that they didn't trust him and ordered pizza but in the end that porky-chicken-beef thing that he had cooked was pretty good and they ate everything.

The others were playing all nice with Felicity although she knew that they were pissed at her for lying them. She played it cool too, as she didn't know about it and the evening went smooth. Smoother than she expected. Steve wasn't pressuring her, just asked ordinary questions like "Do you like it there?" and "how is the job" or "did you find a good house".

It was this domestic stuff that she had missed. Her dad and Clint were always joking, Thor and Steve were adorable as they never get the jokes, Banner was quiet as always and she and Natasha were smiling or laughing. It was like she had never left. And this night was the happiest she had in a long time.

Not that she was unhappy with Oliver and Digg and sometime Roy, but she really missed all this and she hadn't realized it until now. As they had finished their meal all of them cleaned the dining area and the kitchen and all said good night to each other because it was really late.

Felicity was so tired and she wanted so badly to just sleep but Oliver and Digg hadn't come back yet from their "stroll". Two hours ago Digg had sent her a text saying they were out on a "stroll" to look around New York and maybe get a pizza themselves.

She was a little pissed that they didn't tell her but in the same time she could understand that no one except her knew them and it would be a little awkward if they had dinner together so she wasn't pissed at them. She wasn't pissed but she decided to stay and watch some TV and wait them come back. So she sat on the sofa in the living room, got Jarvis to play Star Wars I and just tried to not fall asleep.

„How many times exactly have you watched this movie?" Steve asked as he walked it the room. Felicity put it on pause and looked at him with a smile.

„I think this is my 14th time, but don't judge me. This is the only one I can fall asleep watching it." She explained and he sat on the sofa next to her.

„And why are you here, alone, trying to fall asleep?" Felicity shifter awkwardly in her spot. She could guess where is headed their conversation.

„Well, Bruce, dad and I decided that we should wait till tomorrow because we were all tired and thought we would think better if we had some sleep. And Digg and Oliver went out for a walk. I think Digg missed NY so they are „sightseeing"" she smiled and looked at him. „So here I am waiting for them to come back so we can all have some rest. I mean we didn't sleep last night at all and now it's past midnight so.." she didn't continue because she didn't think she had to.

Steve was looking at her with this look that could make your heart beat faster. He was cute and handsom at the same time and he was sweet and good but Felicity couldn't feel the same things she had been feeling three years ago.

Captured by her thoughts she didn't noticed that he was trying to get closer to her and the moment she realized that he was already so close to her that she could feel his breaths. He leaned closer and the next thing she knew he was kissing her, his hands holding her face and his tongue trying to break through her mouth.

And then she let him. Why she would do such a thing? They were kissing and she liked it very much, but the one who popped out of her mind was Oliver and she imagined that he was kissing her. When she realized that it was only a fantasy she pulled back and made some distance between them.

„I'm sorry Felicity, I shouldn't do that!" he said as he was preparing to get up and go but she stopped him.

„No you should have. You should have done that three years ago. You know what would happen if you did that three years ago?" she asked him and he could see a tear forming in her eye „I would stay here and I would never even think of moving out."

„I'm sorry, Fel, that I didn't have the courage to do that back then." He said as he cupped her face once more „But I have it now!"

„Well, I'm sorry, but I don't need it now. I needed you back then and you weren't there and now I can't afford to have you when I have the same feelings I have then for you as I have now for someone else. I am sorry" she pulled away from him „I know I don't make much sense but I need you to understand me."

„I do Fel, you have feelings for that Oliver, and I don't blame you. You have the full right to be mad at me and I understand you. But I'm worried about you!"

„You are what now? Oh, Steve you don't get to be worried about me! I have a head on my shoulders and I know what I'm doing" she said with an irritated voice „and you don't get to tell me anything because you pulled away three years ago and it was your fault and..."she started crying and he immediately hugged her.

„Please, Fel, do not cry, I know what I have done and I have been sorry for it every single day since you've been away!" he pulled away from her „But I can understand that you have feelings for him and I am really happy for you but are you sure it's the right guy. I mean I've searched him on the net and..."

„Oh my God, you searched him" she said and then laughed. „You know he is nothing in common with the person he is trying to be and he has really changed over the past two years and he is really kind and caring person and he saved my life like a dozens of times."

"And I'm sure that he put you in danger in like 99% of those times" Steve said judging.

"I think you should give him a chance. I mean them. You should totally give Oliver and Digg a chance. They both are very caring and they became like my second family for me." she smiled just of the thought of them

"So, you're happy?"

"Yes, yes. Very. And I am very safe too. You don't have to worry about me. You can sometime visit us, you know? We would be really glad with some extra help. Since the army of nuts, you know.." she smiled and put a hand on his shoulder. When he smiled back she shifted and tried to get comfy. "Now could you tell me, please, what I have missed?"

"Yes, of course. You want ice cream?" he asked as he stood up

"Yes, mint-"

"Mint chocolate chips, yeah, I know. I ordered it for you today" he said as he smiled and went to the kitchen.

"Man you love her. Even told her so" Digg said as they were both walking in the tower.

"I was trying to fool Slade." Oliver tried to pull away from this conversation.

"Yes, except now the only person you try to fool is yourself" Digg said as he pushed the button for the elevator Oliver only smiled.

He couldn't think of anything to say to that because of course Digg was right. He was always right. He was a little bit jealous of Digg and Lyla because they were happy and they were waiting a girl and basically they had everything. And all Oliver had was Thea. His parents were dead and Felicity was, well, let's put it that way, "hard to reach".

Even before he knew who her dad was he knew he can't be with her, because she could get hurt. And now the fact that Captain fucking America was in love with her and she had these photos in her room of them both hugging or laughing. Man, he could not compete with Steve Rogers, the American hero. He couldn't stand a chance.

As the elevator's door opened they walked in the living room where Felicity was asleep on the sofa and Steve was carrying some empty bowls back to kitchen.

"She was waiting for you to come back." Steve said and forced a smile.

"Oh, man, we really are late, look at what time is it." Digg said as he waited for Steve to go to the kitchen and made a gesture to Oliver to go and take her.

"Yes, I was just going to wake her up so she could go to her room" Steve said from the kitchen

"Well, Captain, I don't think that would be necessary." Oliver smiled and went to her. He put his hand below her neck and her knees so he could lift her.

"Well, in that case, good night mister Queen and mister Diggle" they both just nodded at him and went on their way.

"Hmm, Steve did Oli and Digg came home?" Felicity said sleepy as Oliver put her in her bed.

"Hey, Felicity, it's me, I'm here, we got back" Oliver said and smiled at her, even though her eyes were closed.

"Hey Oliver, I am so very pissed at you, do you know that?" she said and immediately fell back to sleep.

He sat on the bed and watched her for like 2 minutes or so. She was so beautiful and she looked like a sweet baby girl in her sleep. Her blond hair was spread on her pillow and her lips. God, her lips.. He could bet that they are maybe the sweetest thing he could ever get. They were curved in a smile and Oliver thought she was dreaming something good. She deserved good, she deserved better than Oliver. With that thought Oliver got up and left her room.
