Long nights with dl_greenarrow

[chloeas]

They were going to get them. Chloe held on to Oliver's hand as tightly as she could, they were running but it was getting so dark around them, she couldn't see the ground anymore, she was so afraid to trip, and then they would get them, they were so close and suddenly, Oliver was gone, she called out for him on top of her lungs, but her voice

"When Bart ran you to the hospital," he admitted quietly. "I couldn't just let him get by with it, Chloe." He gazed at her intently. "And maybe next time he'll think twice about who he decides to abduct, beat and lock in a car trunk." He tensed involuntarily and looked away for a moment. "I just wish there'd been enough trunk space for all of them. They sure as hell deserve it."

[chloeas]

All she could do was stare at him for a moment then shake her head a little, leaning her face closer to his and brushing her nose against his, closing her eyes, "he is where he belongs, but next time, I don't want you risking yourself because someone did something to me, Oliver."

[dl_greenarrow]

"Well, it wasn't really risking anything considering Bart had knocked all of them unconscious. When I dragged him out of the warehouse, he was still mostly out of it." He shrugged a little. "And I checked to make sure he didn't have any weapons on him." He kissed her very softly.

[chloeas]

Chloe sighed softly when she broke the kiss and shook her head, smiling slightly, opening her eyes after a second to look at him, "you're impossible." She murmured lifting a hand to cup his cheek.

[dl_greenarrow]

He grinned at her. "I know." He turned his head and kissed the palm of her hand softly before turning to look at her once more, growing serious again. "What can I do?' he asked quietly.

[chloeas]

She considered him for a long moment then shook her head, "I'm okay, I'm sorry I keep scaring you." She answered quietly and right now, it was true, he was there with her and waking up next to him seemed to calm her down.

[dl_greenarrow]

He kissed her forehead, then gazed at her again. "No apologies needed. I'm just worried about you. I wish I could help take it away."

[chloeas]

Closing her eyes for a moment, she shook her head then looked at him, leaning her lips against his barely letting them touch, "you are helping, Ollie, you're here with me, listening to me." She said quietly.

[dl_greenarrow]

He paused for a moment, a faint smile forming on his face. "Did you just call me Ollie?" He kissed her lightly and pulled away to look at her, amused.

[chloeas]

She paused for a moment, raising her eyebrows and shrugging a shoulder, smiling a little shyly, "did I?" Sometimes she referred to him as Ollie in her head, although she always called him Oliver, sometimes it sounded a little too formal for the man she was in love with.

[dl_greenarrow]

He grinned. "You did." He kissed her hand again. "I like it," he said quietly. "No one else calls me that. At least not since..."

[chloeas]

Chloe held her breath a little a the look on his face, he didn't have to finish his sentence, there was only one subject that got that particular look on his face, as she had leaned, she nodded softly, "if you don't mind, I guess I will used it." She smiled slightly.

[dl_greenarrow]

"I don't mind," he said softly, meeting her eyes once more. "But just you." He smiled. It was appropriate, really. The only people he'd ever believed loved him until now were his parents. And now Chloe. He was quiet for a moment. "They would have loved you."

[chloeas]

Her chest got tight at his words, her eyes getting a little teary, she knew she was the only who got to see this side of him and she was so grateful that he had chosen her to open himself to.

Chloe shifted a little on his lap, leaning in and kissing the corner of his mouth softly, "you think so?"
