Oliver walked back into the apartment after running some errands, the whole team decided to take the day/night off. Earlier in the day Barry had called Felicity for an answer to a tech question and it somehow ended up in them playing World of Warcraft all day. Oliver chuckled as he heard her mumbling to herself into the headset that he assumed Barry was on the other side of. Oliver made her a cup of coffee and set it in front of her on the coffee table as she continued to play on her tablet. Oliver smiled and gave her a kiss on her cheek and the only way that he even knew that she knew that he was there was because she leaned into the kiss and smiled over at him quickly.
"Hey hun." Felicity didn't even look up at him and he smiled and shook his head in laughter, he still sometimes couldn't believe that he was dating such a nerd. He found it incredibly adorable and endearing most of the time and other times it actually scared him how smart she actually was.
Barry had called her around 4PM and it was 9PM, they were going on five hours now and Oliver found it charming that they were so invested in playing this video game. Her nose scrunched up as she continued staring at the screen and pressing keys on the keyboard almost violently
"Barry! What are you doing?! Cover me!" She practically yelled into the headset that Oliver now knew Barry was on the other end of, he never actually understood the appeal of sitting down and playing video games for hours on end. He was never the kid that did that but it was obvious that Barry and Felicity probably were given the fact that they have been sitting around all day playing.
"I'm going to bed I have an early morning, don't stay up all night alright?" He asked giving her another kiss on the cheek only this time not getting much of a response this time around, he knew that she wasn't paying him much attention, too focused on the task at hand.
"Yeah, yeah. Of course babe." She didn't even look up from her screen.
"Barry look out! Behind you!" Felicity yelled and Oliver watched her for a few moments looking at her like she put the stars in the sky.
He began to walk away towards the stairs to get ready for bed as Oliver heard Felicity yelling again and a smile instantly graced its way onto his lips.
"I love you." She looked up for a split second and their eyes met and she sent him a wink making him blush and shake his head.
"I love you too." Barry must have said something in her ear because her eyes instantly flew back to the laptop and her fingers started to fly furiously over the keys. Oliver started making his way further up the stairs as she started shouting things back to Barry that he couldn't quite make out. Oliver practically fell into bed and passed out just from the sheer fact of doing nothing all day, it actually felt amazing to not have to do anything Arrow related all day.
* [ 6 A M ] *
Oliver woke up to an empty and cold bed, he panicked for a split second not understanding why Felicity wasn't in bed. He then remembered what he came home to last night and that probably lead to Felicity just falling asleep on the couch. He groggily gets up and throws on his jogging clothes and he gets ready to go out for a run like he normally did at the start of every day. Oliver makes his way downstairs and nearly stops dead in his track when his finds Felicity in the exact same position that he left her in.
He was used to this kind of stuff when they were working on a mission and she was tracking down a lead but he was not used to her staying up all night just because she was playing a video game with Barry.
"Barry come on, they are closing in behind us. Please tell me that you have some sort of plan." Oliver looked around her and saw that there was a few empty chips bags and more than one cup of coffee sitting on the coffee table. He narrowed his eyes as he just stood there and observed the scene around him. Oliver smiled and shook his head not even being able to be even the slightest bit angry at her for not coming to bed over a video game.
If someone would have told him that one day he would totally and irrevocably in love with such a huge dork he would have laughed in their faces and not have believed a word of what they were saying. But he wouldn't change it in any way as he watched her watch the screen and absentmindedly rub her eye probably because she was tired from staying up all night staring at a computer screen.
"Felicity." He said as he took a few steps forward and knelt down in front of her so he could get a better look at her. Her hair in all kinds of disarray and her glasses are pushed up on top of her head and her skin was flushed and she looked utterly exhausted despite the fact that she probably didn't even notice staying up all night. But to him she still looked absolutely gorgeous.
"Hey, what are you doing back up you just went to bed." She didn't even bother looking up from her screen to notice that he was wearing his work out clothes and he rolled his eyes playfully and laughed putting each of his hands on her knees and giving them a gentle shake finally causing her to look up.
"Honey. It's 6 in the morning, I just woke up to go on my morning run." He smiled and tilted his head slightly while watching so many questions cross her face as she looked up at him for a few seconds to look at him and see the adorable look that he had on his face.
"What? No...I stayed up all night?" She questioned looking back down to the computer and taping at the keys on her keyboard, he could faintly hear Barry on the other end of the headset saying something to her and she nodded in response and he chuckled again squeezing her knee again in the hopes to get her attention back on him.
"Yeah, you never came up to bed last night, i'm assuming that you and Barry both stayed up all of last night playing...whatever it is you are playing." He barely got her attention however and he was only becoming slightly annoyed that she was more or less blatantly ignoring him at this point. He reached up and took the head set off of her head and put it on his, she gave him an up fronted look and tried to reach for it to get it back but he is too quick and dodged her advances on him.
"Oliver seriously! Give it back we are almost done with this mission." Felicity reached out again but it was no use she sat back and fixed him with a glare that in any other circumstance he would be afraid of. However considering she is wearing the same clothes from yesterday and looking a bit unkept she wasn't all that scary
"Barry. This is Oliver, Felicity can't come to the phone right now because she needs to eat something and take a shower before heading in to work as I also assume you need to do as well. I would also like to spend some quality time with my girlfriend if you wouldn't mind, which I didn't get to do because you hogged her most of the day." Oliver laughed at the sudden silence on the other end of the line and the glare that he was continuing to get from his girlfriend.
"Wow I didn't even realize how long we had been playing, my fingers actually are starting to cramp up. Thanks man, I probably would have gone all day. Tell Felicity that we will pick this up some other time and thanks for the help." Barry then hung up and Oliver took the head set off of his head and set it next to her on the couch.
"Barry sends his love." Oliver smiles up at her as she closes her laptop and sets it to the side crossing her arms across her chest. She wasn't entirely mad at him because she did actually need to eat something and get ready for work considering it was Monday and she had a lot of meetings that she needed to be at.
"You know you didn't need to snatch it off of my head, you could have politely asked for it and I would have given it to you." She said trying her best to feign annoyance when in reality she was actually kind of grateful that she got him out of her fog and back into the real world.
"We both know that you weren't listening to a word that I was saying and would have never handed over that headset." Oliver laughed and stood up giving her a kiss on the forehead and notice that there was a bit of sweat there which he found incredibly endearing. She glared at him again but her face quickly softened knowing that he was right and she instantly became slightly ashamed at herself for letting herself get so caught up in the game that she spent what was supposed to be her and Oliver's lazy Sunday playing video games with Barry instead.
"I'm sorry." She said a bit ashamed of herself. He gave her a confused look as he sat down on the couch next to her, moving her tablet in the process so that he could get closer to her.
"What for? You didn't do anything wrong." Oliver replied
"I spent what was supposed to be our day off from everything playing video games with Barry instead of spending quality time with you which we don't get much of these days. So, I am sorry for ditching you." She moved closer to him and jutted out her lower lip giving him her best puppy dog eyes even though she didn't need to use them on him considering he wasn't even mad.
"Felicity it's okay. I'm not angry, or mad, I find it a little bit endearing actually you getting all enthralled and distracted by the video game. Besides I actually got some errands done and it was actually a pretty productive Sunday, which is something we would not have had if it wouldn't have been for Barry and that game." He teased knowing full well that they would have spent the entire day in bed and never left unless they needed food.
"Oh? How do you suppose that?" She asked in a sultry voice and moving herself so that she was now straddling his lap as she moved in slowly for a tantalizing kiss. He automatically responded to her pulling her closer and threading his hand into her hair while the other one wrapped its way around her waist as his hips instinctively thrusted up causing a moan to flit out of both of their mouths. Oliver flipped them over so that he was hovering over her and her legs wrapped their way around Oliver's waist on their own accord. Oliver pulled away from the kiss and looked down at her frazzled again but for a completely different reason.
"As much as I would love for this to continue I need to go on my run and you need to take a shower because no offense babe, but you stink." He chuckled and gave her another quick kiss before slipping out of her grasp.
"You missed your chance yesterday choosing to play video games all day with Barry instead of having me all to yourself." He teased as he backed away from her and towards the door watching her offended yet amused face that he was having a very hard time resisting at the moment.
"You are one evil jerk you know that?" She shook her head with a giant smile on her face as she just watched him walk out enjoying the view as he turned around and she could check out his ass in the tight jogging pants that he was wearing.
"I expect to see you at the very least off of that couch by the time that I come back from my run." He smiled and opened the door and walked straight out the door and towards the elevator. Even though he woke up in an empty bed and hardly slept all night due to the fact that Felicity wasn't there to ground him, he wouldn't trade mornings like this for anything in the world.
