AN: A good point was brought up to me and I thought I would clarify that I started writing this in season 2 before Sara and Oliver had broken up.

You will see her reaction to the conversation Oliver and Felicity had in chapter 1 and the story will continue into the future just as soon as the Tommy Felicity back story has been worked through. So I hope that clears things up. Thanks for reading and don't forget to review!

Disclaimer: Still don't own...

It was almost time for Felicity to leave when she got an unexpected visitor walking out of the executive elevator.

"Sorry but Mr. Queen has left for the day." She said without looking up from her computer screen.

"Well that's good. It will make this a whole lot easier. I am actually here to see you Felicity."

When Felicity lookup she saw the youngest Queen looking at her with what could only be described as an evil grin.

"Thea! This is a nice surprise, what brings you here?"

"Well I am just going to cut right to it. I think it's time for you to move on from my brother." Felicity opened her mouth to protest, but Thea didn't let her. "I know what you're going to say. But Felicity I am your friend and I want you to be happy. My jackass of a brother may not realize he is in love with you or maybe he does and he is too dense to do anything about it, but that doesn't mean you should put your life on hold and wait for him to figure out what to do. Which is why I have a solution."

Felicity sighed. "Thea how many times to I have to tell you I am not wait… Wait what? A solution. Do you mean like shopping till we drop or drinking… You know wine may fix it but it may need to get tequila drunk… Oliver is more of a get so drunk let's forget about your abs even exist level of getting over."

"Felicity!" Thea laughed.

"Yes. Sorry. Go on. What's your solution?"

"Well as much fun as getting drunk or shopping might be I think I have an easier solution. The old getting under someone else trick…" Thea paused to let her react. She knew she would have to explain further but she wanted to wait until the look on Felicity's face looked less like she was constipated.

"Okay now you're just talking crazy… Where am I supposed to find a guy to get under? Tinder? I mean come on… I don't exactly do one night stands."

"Well that would explain why you haven't had sex since you were brought on to my brothers team."

"I regret sharing that information with you now…"

"Licity, I am not suggesting that you have a one night stand, or join a dating site. I was actually going to suggest Tommy. I see you two flirting all the time."

Now Felicity was the one to laugh. "Really Thea? Tommy? Now that is ridiculous. We are just friends."

"Yeah friends who share an apartment and have crazy chemistry. What's ridiculous is how you refuse to let yourself be happy. You should be taking advantage of a great situation and get back on the horse. Or do I need to remind you just how long it's actually been."

"No. no, I'd rather not discuss that."

"That's what I thought. And I know Tommy is single, and hasn't seen anyone since Laurel, you know with the whole coming back from the dead thing. And on a plus side, I already know he likes you."

"What you do?"

"Yes and as a matter of fact, he, unlike my other dumb brother, is going to do something about it. So please Felicity, I think it's time for you to be happy and not over think this one."

So that's exactly what she tried to do on her drive home. But the more she tried not to think the more she actually did. She was nervous. Well that was until she opened the door to see Tommy pacing.

Yes Tommy was pacing. To say he was nervous would be an understatement. Thea had convinced him to ask out Felicity and he was finally ready to do it. He just had to wait for her to get home. So the more he waited the more he paced.

Tommy had always been a smooth guy. Then Laurel happened and then that crashed and burned. And yes he would always love her, but he was deciding to be happy, so asking out his gorgeous roommate seemed like the next best thing.

He knew it was going too risky to begin with. Oliver was in love with her. And even though he was with Sara and Felicity refused to believe it, everyone else did. He thought at first he shouldn't get involved with another one of the girls his best friend loved, but he quickly got over that.

Tommy thought that if Oliver had two years to admit that he was in love with her and still hadn't even after she was kidnapped with him, he deserved a shot with her.

So as he paced, he just kept repeating the argument in his head.

Laurel is with someone else.

Oliver is with someone else.

He deserved to be happy.

Felicity deserved to be happy.

He repeated it over and over in his mind, because those were his strongest arguments.

Felicity walked through the front door at a quarter to seven. She quickly shut the front door and snuck into her town house trying not to startle him.

"Hey Tommy, Whatcha doing?" Tommy jumped. So much for not startling him she thought.

"Oh hey Felicity! I didn't hear you come in."

"Yeah so why are you pacing? Trying to figure out how to get gorgeous Laurel back?" She joked. She already figured why she was pacing but she was trying very hard not to make a big deal out of it.

"Gorgeous Laurel?" He smirked.

"You know what I mean."

"No. To answer your question I am not plotting on how to get Laurel back. I was actually trying to convince myself that asking you on a date was a good idea."

"What?!" Well that didn't go as he planned.

"Oh God that came out wrong. That's not what I meant. I just meant that I know that I like you and I had this whole argument about why I shouldn't ask you out. But I was trying to convince myself that argument wasn't even valid. No look you have me rambling like you…"

Felicity laughed. He couldn't help but do the same.

"Okay let's start from the beginning. You like me?" she asked. He nodded yes. She took a step towards him. "You have arguments with yourself about whether it would be a good idea to date me?" She stepped forward again, watching him reply the same way as before. "Okay then lets here them, maybe I can be of some help with the case."

He laughed. He noticed that she was moving closer to him slowly, so he turned on the charm and tried to get her to come closer.

"Well there's the whole Oliver is in love with you argument."

"Ah yes that one seems to be coming up a lot actually. But if anyone would let me finish a sentence, I would be able to tell them that Oliver thinks it's best that he keep his distance so I don't get hurt. So that argument is invalid. Plus he's with Sara."

"Right! That was my counter argument. Okay, the next being our feelings for other people."

"Yeah I figured that was one. That was one of mine too. But here's the thing. They've both moved on. And we deserve to be happy, so why not with each other."

"Very good point Smoak. My final argument is the whole friendship/ roommate situation."

"Well as my friend/ your little sister so kindly pointed out to me before I got here, we aren't taking full advantage of our situation and crazy chemistry. Her words not mine."

At this point they had moved so close, there was nowhere else to go, leaving barely any room between the pair. He cupped her face. She held on to his tie.

"So what you're saying is that there isn't a reason we shouldn't have been doing this the whole time."

"Yes Merlyn so why don't you give that brain of yours a rest, and just kiss me already."

He laughed before bringing his lips to hers.
