Beneath the Hood

Nothing Lasts Forever

Felicity's POV

"So what now?" I asked Oliver, as we were walking to the car.

"I don't know, really." He replied, "Let's just leave for a while, I guess."

I leant against him, "Where to?"

"Mhm," He groaned, "Some where hot."

I leant up and pecked him on the cheek, "You have no idea do you?"

"I have an idea." He replied.

"Which is?"

"Corto Maltese?"

I raised an eyebrow, "No."

"But-"

"No."

"Wh-"

"Oliver."

He frowned, and put his arms around me, "Fine."

"I don't really mind."

"Are you kidding?" He said, breaking apart the hug, "Seriously?"

"You still love me." I said.

No reply.

"You still love me, right?" I asked, "Say you love me."

"I love you," He said, "And I'm so happy I get to be with you."

"Did you ever get the chance to tell Thea about-"

"No," He said, "I'll tell her soon enough."

I nodded, and rested my head against his chest.

"Should we go? It's getting dark."

I looked up at the sky and saw stars, scattered around the deep blue sky, "Oh, I didn't realise the time had gone so quickly."

"Well," Oliver began, "We listened to Slade saying no prison could hold him for about an hour, so..."

"They always do that," I said, "it's just a matter of time!"

Oliver took my hand, and led me back to the car, "Let's start over. Start fresh. Start again."

"Let's start again." I agreed.

"I love you." Oliver said.

"I love you more."

"That couldn't be possible in any universe, or galaxy."

"It is in this one."

We got into the car, "Can I say something weird?" Oliver asked.

"Sure." I replied.

There was a second of silence before he said, "I'm happy."

I smiled, as Oliver started the car and we drove off together into the sunset.
