Oliver had the night off from everything and Felicity was out with with all of the girls for a girls night out. Oliver had to admit that he was a bit relieved that Felicity was out for the night, he got the apartment for himself tonight...which meant that he got to go on a binge of Game of Thrones.
Felicity was always talking to Curtis or Alena about the show and he wanted to know what all of the hype was about because Felicity made sure that she always was home at the time that it was on every week. The entire time that he had known her she would always make sure that Digg or Oliver could handle themselves for the night and leave so that she could be home in time to watch it live.
He was nearly finished with the fourth season and he completely understood why she loved this show so much because every chance that he got to watch it he did. However he was keeping all of this from Felicity, he always used to make fun of her for her obsession with it that he was now embarrassed how much he loved it. He knew that Felicity would probably love it and find it adorable that he was watching it in order to be closer to her and have another thing that they can love together. Even if it was coming into its last season and ending pretty soon but he was determined to finish this binge before this season was over.
He was just about to start the season finale of season four, when there was a noise at the door. He slowly set down the remote and his beer as he got up to go over to the door to check what or who was there, there was no way that it could be Felicity yet. It was only 10 and knowing Dinah, Laurel, and Sarah they were bound to stay out pretty late drinking and just catching up.
He slowly unlocked the door making sure that it didn't make a sound so that it would catch the person outside the door off guard, which it really in fact did. He whipped open the door prepared to have a showdown with some big bad guy but instead it was just his wife searching inside of her purse for her keys.
"AHHHH!" Felicity screamed and jumped back dropping her purse and throwing her hand to her chest as she closed her eyes trying to take deep and calming breaths as her heart felt like it was beating out of her chest.
"Holy Google! You nearly gave me a heart attack! And the fact that I am pretty tipsy right now really does not help that fact. What are you doing sneaking up on people outside our door anyways? I figured that you would be sleeping by now considering you had most of the night to yourself." Felicity made the comment her breathing and heart rate finally calming down enough to now feel like she wasn't about to faint from all of the adrenaline coursing through her body.
Oliver bent down and picked up her purse and everything that had dropped out of it and hung it up on the hook next to the door and moved out of the way of the door so that Felicity could come inside. Oliver was quickly trying to come up with a lie to tell her about why he was up and why it looked like he hadn't moved from the couch all night but he came up blank. He wouldn't openly admit it but he was a little embarrassed to tell Felicity that he was watching Game of Thrones, but he was mostly embarrassed that he had been watching it in secret and keeping it from her. He was caught now and knew that there was no point in trying to lie any further because he was basically caught at this point.
"I lost track of time while watching some TV, what were you doing standing outside the door instead of coming inside? I thought you were someone trying to break in." Oliver answered not totally giving up what he was binging and instead turning the sights on her and why she was lurking outside their door.
"I couldn't find my keys and was searching for them not wanting to call you because I honestly thought that you would be asleep. No offense but you are totally an old man and go to bed super early now a days. Also you better not be watching The Office without me or I will destroy you, I don't care if we are married I will still ruin your credit score." Felicity gave him a stern and angry look pointing a finger in his face making him chuckle and gently push it away, tipsy Felicity tended to be a little more feisty than normal and he found it endearing.
"I wasn't watching The Office, we promised that we wouldn't watch it without each other and I don't intend to break that promise. I also resent the old man comment, I'll have you know that you are the reason for all of my gray hairs." Oliver teased and wrapped his arms around her waist with a smile on his face as he kissed her forehead. She leaned into the kiss and rubbed her hands up and down his arms.
Felicity looked afronted at even the accusation of such a thing but did a terrible job at hiding the small smile that was breaking through her offended facade.
"I could say the same about you mister, you are quite the handful with you jumping off buildings on a nightly basis." She smiled and reached up and gave him a few pecks on the lips and leaned back just enough to look up into his eyes.
"I missed you tonight, even though it was girls night. It's so rare that we get a night to just relax and be together anymore, what did you do with your night anyways? The way that the living room looks at the moment it looks like you haven't moved from the couch in at least two hours, especially given the fact there's an empty pizza box and two finished beers." Felicity smiled as she let her eyes rake over the status of the living room, she looked back at her husband and smiled up at him.
"I think you missed your calling as a detective." Oliver made the off handed comment making Felicity giggle and look out the the living room quickly before looking back to him.
"I am merely just observing, especially because you tend to be the cleaner one out of the two of us and this living room is anything but tidy at the moment. Which would lead me to believe that whatever it is that you're watching you were probably really invested in." Felicity slide out of his grasp to get a look at the TV and Oliver shyly stood in front of the door a light blush covering his cheeks still a bit embarrassed.
Felicity saw that the TV was paused on something and she instantly recognized the title sequence from having seen it so many times before when she would sit down to watch Game of Thrones. She looked over at Oliver and could instantly tell that he was slightly embarrassed by her having caught him in the act of watching it.
"Are you watching Game of Thrones, and you didn't tell me?! I am only slightly insulted that you thought that you could hide this from me but also impressed. Why didn't you tell me? We could have watched it together instead of you trying to be all sneaky." Felicity smiled and walked back over to Oliver and wrapped her arms around his hips and absentmindedly played with the hem of his henley.
"I wanted to know what all of the hype was about because you have been talking about it for years and I also was embarrassed because I used to tease you all the time for always making sure that you were home to watch it live. I kind of also wanted to surprise you and just sit down to watch it with you one day and just know everything that was going on, I was really looking forward to seeing your face when I just started making comments. I have no doubt that it would have been priceless." Oliver chuckled just thinking about the incident happening, it would have been totally worth all of the secret keeping.
Felicity smiled at him and shook her head at his antics, sometimes this man just completely surprised her with how much he loved and cared for her. Don't get her wrong, she knew that he loved her with everything that he had but sometimes the sheer amount of how much he cared took her by surprise.
"I love you, no one has showed this much interest in something that I love before. Hell you don't even try to understand any of the tech references that I make." Felicity made the off hand teasing comment making them both laugh and Oliver wrapped his arms around her waist and gave her a gentle kiss.
"Games of Thrones is a little easier to learn about and follow then learning all of that tech jargon, although I like to think that over the years I have learned a few things from you and understand at the very least the bare minimum." He took so much pride in Felicity's intelligence, he often times would proudly share the fact that his wife is a genius because he was really proud of her.
"Game of Thrones is just as hard to watch and understand trust me I have had to watch it a few times to finally understand what exactly is going on and who is who. I also tried to give the books a shot but that is a lost cause. So what episode are you watching?" She looked back at the TV and then to Oliver with an excited smile on her face ready to sit down and watch it with him.
"I am on the season four finale, I am trying to finish before this last season ends but I still have a lot to get through and it was kind of hard to watch without you knowing." He smiled as they both sat down and played the episode as the title theme starting playing and Felicity started to get giddy at just the sheer thought of getting to share this with Oliver.
"I still can't believe that you actually successfully got this far without me knowing, that's pretty impressive." She smiled as she grabbed Oliver's unfinished beer and took a long swig from if as she cuddled into his side and got comfortable.
"I for sure thought that you were going to figure it out when you walked in on me watching it one night but I turned it off just in time before you saw what it actually was."
Felicity laughed as the title sequence ended and the show started, it was so strange to watch because everyone looked so young to her but Oliver instantly stopped talking and started paying attention. She smiled at him and found it completely endearing and adorable that he was so entranced with the show. She knew that he would love it if he would just give it a chance but she could never actually get him to sit down and watch it, not even in Ivy Town when they had a copious amount of time on their hands.
They sat on the couch all night watching it until they eventually both fell asleep on the couch, and even though they both woke up with their backs hurting like crazy they were happy that they got something else to share and enjoy together. They spent most of their morning talking about it while getting ready for work, out of all of the things Oliver had done for Felicity this was hitting her like a ton of bricks and she didn't even really know why. She was completely touched that he went through all of this trouble just to be able to share this with her.
It was just another reason why she loved Oliver with every fiber in her being and that would never change.
