Notes - Oliver/Felicity - PG (Oliver keeps a diary ficlet)
Oliver Queen keeps a notebook.
He came back to Starling City with a worn brown notebook. A notebook full of names. Names of the people who were corrupting the city he loved. Names of people that his father gave him to right his wrongs.
And for a year he worked from that notebook; going after the people who had tried to destroy his city and who ultimately destroyed his father.
Now, Oliver Queen has a new notebook. And in it aren’t names, but dates. Dates of the days and the moments that he’s collected since he returned.
He has a fall day in October written in red ink (underlined and bolded) when he met his future wife.
Another date for the night he gained a brother. He has the date his mother shot him; the same night Felicity learned his secret.
The night when he lost his best friend. A day he returned home once more, and the day he realized he’d fallen in love.
He has all the dates - each one marking a gain or a loss. He writes them all down in his new notebooks - not because he thinks he’ll forget, but because for five years, he forgot how to live.
And then he got a second chance. So he fills his new notebook with dates and times and memories.
And when he flips through them he finds that there is one name that is on every other page. A name that brought light and happiness back into his life.
Oliver Queen has notebooks with dates and memories and moments that tell about his life and how he chose to live it.
And the newest one he put in it was tonight when he asked his best friend to become his wife.
All there is on one page is the date and three words in red ink.
