Puppy Love
Disclaimer: 7x12's William/Zoe scene inspired me to do this. Oh yes, I'd like to announce that every single Possibilities fic I have on here is now all in one fic at AO3 under the name Lyco. I may or may not end up primarily posting there but we'll see. And to Vimka, check chapter 160 for the first part of 'Futures And Pasts'. Sorry about the delay in getting that info to you!
Summary: Everyone could see it between the two, even if it did drive Rene and even Oliver a little nuts at times.
After William had come back to Star City, along with the little revelation he'd been expelled from Cambridge much to the strong dislike of Felicity and the shock of Oliver, everyone could tell there was a little something called puppy love between himself and Zoe Ramirez the more time they spent together. A fact that drove Rene a little crazy as he wasn't prepared for something like that at all! Matter of fact, he had hoped his little girl wouldn't be into boys well into her 30's! Sure, it was unrealistic but he didn't care one bit. Though what no one knew for years was the fact that Zoe was also helping William come to terms with the fact he's also into boys. Something that wouldn't be learned of until his College years and a wild party involving Scones courtesy of Grandma Clayton that had happened. The two pretty much had a lot of their firsts together.
First kisses, first dates, being each other's first boyfriend and girlfriend respectively, having their first time together during Prom night despite how cliched it was. The two rarely argued thanks to a pinkie promise made between the two at one point as neither wanted to be another Rene and Dinah respectively. Which gave some who knew the two adults some amusement while the two just shook their heads in exasperation and grumbled a lot in Rene's case. The two youngsters even encouraged the belief that they were secretly plotting to drive Oliver and Rene nuts when they really weren't as the amusement factor was just too fun to stop. Now there was an occasion or two where they did something to help the idea along so that was a fun factor as well. But if the two did argue, it was over something truly serious and not just a run of the mill kind of thing.
Unfortunately, the good times weren't able to last as College would take the two to different parts of the country for their education needs. Which had certainly helped the two to grow in new ways and for William to finally explore more of his sexuality without worrying about his dad and Felicity would react. Not that he necessarily thought either would react badly but he wasn't really quite ready to take that risk. Nor did he really want to subject any guy he dated to Felicity as the woman had no real respect for boundaries and the like in his personal view. Eventually however, life would be kind and allow the youngsters to re-unite and try for a new but stronger relationship. Naturally, Rene and Oliver would go nuts over it but in the end, they were just happy their respective kids had found one another again.
Even if said finding did involve marriage sometime later.
