Thea
Oliver was smiling. He was actually smiling.
She’d come to see him at work and was told he was down in the IT department talking to one of the women down there about a computer issue at the club. When she got down to the room of ‘Felicity Smoak’ she heard laughter, Felicity's (Thea assumed) bubbly laughter
“You really think bribing me is the best way to get me to leave this desk?” Thea peeped through the gap in the door to see Oliver sitting against her desk looking at her adoringly.
“I could just pick you up and carry you?” She shook her head, it was only then that Thea realised she’d met Felicity before, at the hospital with Walter. She was Walters and Oliver’s friend.
“Oh and let everyone think you kidnap your own employee’s or worst eloped with one” That seemed to shock Oliver and Thea for a moment.
“Eloping?” Oliver asked, wondering how she went from Kidnap to Eloping? Felicity shrugged
“Can’t say it’s never crossed my mind. I know marriage isn’t your thing and god forbid you ever lose that playboy persona, but the thought of being Mrs. Oliver Queen is a beautiful one” Oliver leaned in
“Mrs. Oliver Queen. Mine, all mine” He whispered so softly Thea thought she might have imagined it. Felicity smiled softly at him
“I don’t need a name to tell me that Oliver” He smiled at her, genuinely happy.
He leaned over and kissed her then, it was a soft kiss, a simple kiss. But it said so much to Thea, it said he trusted her. It said he loved her. It said everything that she says to Roy in a kiss. Thea knew her brother struggled to be happy since he got back home and to see him so happy in love, with someone who’s so uncomplicated was a dream come true for Thea.
“Knock knock” Oliver stood up, but he didn’t jump up like he was ashamed of her like Thea thought he might, instead he just moved back into the polite distances of their personal space.
"Thea? What are you doing here?” She shrugged
“Thought my bro would wanna come have a salad with me, instead I find you down here kissing the help. At least your life is never boring” Oliver shrugged
“I can’t disagree. Felicity did you want to join us for lunch?” She shook her head, patting Oliver’s leg.
“Sorry Mister, but unlike some of us we can’t offload our work onto someone else. Have lunch with Thea, I’m sure she’d love to hear about your secret girlfriend” Thea couldn’t help but smile at that because it was true, she had a million questions running through her head. When who how why etc.
“I’m sure she does, doesn’t mean I have to be honest or even tell her” Felicity smiled softly at Oliver. Thea would have snapped at him but Felicity found his light threat amusing
“You can and you will, at least what you can. You keep enough bottled up in there” Pointing to his chest. “I don’t want to be one of them”
Her tone was light but even Thea saw the pain at the possibility that Oliver was embarrassed by her. He lets out a soft sigh
“Fine, but only because you asked so nice” Thea raised her eyebrow in a very Queen way.
“That’s nicely?” Felicity laughed
“Oh yeah, if I wanted badly, I’d hack his phone and have every telecom company in the whole of india ringing him minute after minute, Oh yeah and then I wouldn’t have sex with him until I got what I want” Thea winced a little
“Ouch, guess I know not to get on your bad side” Felicity threating tone turned to a sweet one awful quick.
“Oh you won’t. Oliver has a special place in my heart for that” Oliver shrugged at Thea, not even fazed by Felicity’s threat. He jumped up softly kissing her forehead.
“Remember to eat something?” She nodded as Oliver moved around her desk to stand by Thea’s side
“Yes boss” Oliver gave her a nod and then walked out the room, Thea following. Oliver turned back at the door
“I love you” Felicity grinned at Thea for a moment, probably pondering just how Thea was taking the news of her brother secret love life before turning back to Oliver and admitting
“I love you two” He blew her a kiss and then the Queen siblings disappeared from Felicity’s sight. As Thea walked arm linked with Oliver’s she looked at her brother, truly looked at him. He had a bounce to his step she hadn’t seen since before the island, he was smiling at everyone who passed them in the hall and he was willingly holding Thea on his arm when he wasn’t required to. Thea vouched to herself to learn more about this Felicity women because she may not know it but she’s a miracle worker when it comes to her brother’s heart.
