Ever had one of those times when you can't help but writing...? I think I'm experiencing that now!
His new suit fit perfectly after Felicity had taken it in a few inches around the left leg. He was standing in front of a mirror in the hallway of his house.
"You look nice!" he turned his head just in time to see Felicity enter the hallway.
"I feel kind of misplaced with that thing on my leg… But the job you did with the pants was amazing!"
"I took a sewing class while I was in high school… It's pretty easy…" Felicity brushed away…
Oliver smiled, he loved the way Felicity always tried to make her talents seem less spectacular, in a way it was kind of cute.
"By the way…" Oliver said as he grabbed his crutches and moved across the hall to his bedroom, and hinted for Felicity to follow his lead.
"I thought you might like this!" he continued when he picked up a nicely wrapped gift box and handed it to Felicity.

"Oliver, it's BEAUTIFUL!" Felicity said as she held up the dress that had been inside of the box. It was a tight fitting, dark grey cocktail dress with lace details. She loved the dress. "Why?"
"I thought about asking you to be my date tonight…" Oliver answered, smiling nervously. "Would you?"
"I'd love to!" Oliver let out a small grunt of pain as Felicity threw herself at him. "Oh… I'm sooo, sooo sorry! Did I hurt you!?"
"Nah… It's good!" Oliver lied, it hadn't been too bad, but still… It did hurt. "Go put on the dress! I want to see you in it!" he finished with a smile.

When Felicity stepped back in to his room she was dressed up in the new dress. Oliver's heart fluttered as she made a runway turn in front of him, showing off how beautifully the dress hugged her curves.
"How do I look?" she asked as she took a step closer to him.
"Perfect!" he couldn't think of any other word to describe her right now. "You look perfect!"
Felicity's face lit up at the compliment. She grinned from ear to ear and gave Oliver a brief peck on the cheek. Then she stood back up and blushed.
Oliver grabbed her by the hand and carefully pulled her down beside him, before he returned the favor.

Neither of them knew quite how it happened, but five minutes later Diggle walked in and interrupted their kissing session.
"Err… We need to get going unless you guys would like to be late for the party…" Diggle was clearly a bit distressed by walking in on his friends making out on the bedside, because he left the room without another word.
Both Felicity and Oliver blushed with embarrassment as they realized how it must have looked like to Diggle.
Then they grabbed their stuff and headed out towards the car. Neither of them could keep from smiling at each other.
When they finally got to the car, they found Diggle behind the wheel already. He tried keeping his eyes front and worked hard not to start grinning like a fool.
"I KNEW you two eventually would start dating!" Diggle said when he finally turned his head to look at them. A broad smile stretched across his face.

"Welcome to Mr. Queen, and Miss Smoak I assume!" the host, Richard Spike, welcomed them as he walked over to them.
"I can't believe we're the only ones here below the age of 50! I'm so glad you could make it!" he said in a lower voice once he got closer to them.
"Hello!" Oliver smiled at his old friend. They had grown up as buddies, the same way as he and Tommy had. "Felicity, this is Ricky! Richard Spike…"
"Pleasure to meet you!" Richard said as shook her hand, "I hope you're keeping an eye on my clumsy buddy here…"
"Thank you! Pleasure to meet you too!" Felicity smiled, "And yeah… I try my best at keeping him safe!" she added with another smile.
"Soo…How is your leg holding up?" Richard asked and looked in the direction of Oliver's legs.
"Well, I think it's heading in the right direction, Ricky…" Oliver answered as he shifted his weight on the crutches.
"Is it bad, or…?"
"I can't put weight on it for another three months yet…" he tried to smile, but it came out more like a frown… "It sucks…"
"I bet it does… Honestly, I can't imagine you taking things easy for such a long time! How the hell did you manage to wreck it that bad?" Ricky asked looking rather confused.
"Hah, no! Me neither... I hurt my knees a couple of times when I was lost on that island…" Oliver explained, "About a month ago I was playing a game of football with some friends and my knee gave out completely after one of the others tackled me…"
"Ouch!" Ricky emphasized. "What kind of injuries did you get!?"
"Tore practically everything that could be torn…"
"And a lot of fractures to the bones in your leg!" Felicity shot in after she figured Oliver would down-size his problem once again…
"MEGA OUCH!" Ricky exclaimed and looked at Oliver part in disbelief, part awe, "And you consider yourself well enough to attend to this?"
"Come on, let's find you a place to sit down! It can't be healthy for you to stand around like this!" he then said to the pair of them. Before he started leading them towards the back of the building.
Thanks for the great feedback I've gotten! It means a lot!
I hope you enjoy!
