5 weeks after the night club
Oliver walked swiftly down the stairs and into the main foyer of his home. He had a big smile on his face for reasons he just couldn't think of.
"What's the smile for?" His younger sister teased as she came up behind him.
"Today is just a really nice day." Oliver replied shrugging his shoulders.
"You're just going for a run. Not anything super special." Thea rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Are you planning something and I don't know about it?" She squinted suspiciously at him.
"Nope. Just going for a run. Scout's honor." He replied raising his right hand.
"You were never a scout Ollie."
"Not the point… I better get going. Later Speedy! We are still on for movie night tonight right?" He asked walking backwards slowly towards the door.
"Yup." She replied with a nod. "Don't be late."
"Never." And with that Oliver left for his run. Every day he went for a run from his mansion through some of Starling City. He would run or walk all the way to his favorite coffee shop then he would make the journey back. Oliver hadn't even reached the shop when dark clouds started to gather overhead. It started to rain, hard. Oliver looked around. He didn't have a car, Thea wasn't picking up her phone, Tommy and Laurel were out of town, he didn't know what to do. That was until he spotted a familiar building. Felicity's apartment building.
It's my only option… It had started to pour. Oliver sighed and rushed across the street, up the building's steps, and into the building. He rode the elevator up to her floor and walked down to her familiar door. He knocked three times. He heard feet pad across the floor.
The door swung open as she said, "Silvia I told you, I put your key-." She cut off as she saw a wet Oliver in her doorway. "Oh."
Oliver smiled guiltily. "It's um, it's raining. Like really raining out there. I didn't really have any other place to go. Can I come in?"
"Uh sure." Felicity let him in and closed the door behind them. Felicity was wearing pajama pants with a very large MIT sweatshirt over it. "So why come here?" She asked as they stood awkwardly in her hallway.
"Well I was out on my every day run when it just started pouring. I didn't have my car, Laurel and Tommy are out of town, and Thea wasn't picking up so I looked around and I saw your building." Oliver said taking a breath after the long explanation.
"Usually I'm the one rambling…" Felicity mumbled to herself. "Ok. Do you want to sit down?" She asked sincerely.
"Sure." Oliver replied finally seeming to relax. He smiled as they sat down on the green couch in front of her TV. An episode of Doctor Who was paused on the screen.
"Sorry." Felicity said as she quickly turned off the TV. "I was kinda in the middle of a Doctor Who marathon." She started to turn red.
Oliver couldn't help but smirk. "It's ok. Laurel told me you like Doctor Who. A lot." His smirk just kept getting bigger and bigger as she kept getting redder and redder.
"I uh… I do. But I'm not obsessed." She was quick to defend herself. Even if it was a little bit of a lie. "So what should we do in the meantime?" Oliver thought. He had never seen Doctor Who before. He hardly even knew what it was about.
"You know, I don't think I've ever seen Doctor Who before." He looked her right in her eye, raising a suggesting eyebrow.
This got Felicity going. "Oh my God Oliver! You are missing out! How have you lived? Ok we are watching Doctor Who right now." She turned the TV back on and to Oliver's surprise, she pulled up the first episode of what she called the second series. "Oh!" She exclaimed as she was about to start the episode. "You still owe me that popcorn." She said. Oliver remembered and smiled. He made his way to the kitchen and made the popcorn. It was a simple task but it had meaning to him. He brought a big bowl full of popcorn over. "Just saying, we may need more later…" She said already grabbing a handful. Oliver laughed.
They started the marathon on opposite ends of the couch, but once Felicity got into explaining different elements of the show, they both kept scooting closer and closer to each other. At some point Oliver texted Thea that he wouldn't make it back in time for their movie night. In the end, it ended up raining all night in one big lightning storm. Oliver didn't want Thea driving so with Felicity's permission, he stayed there for the night. After they had finished about half of the second season, they were passed out on the couch. Felicity with her head on his shoulder and a hand on his. Oliver was as comfortable as could be. He felt her warmth on him and he had fallen into a deep, happy sleep.
