how you get the girl

Chapter 8: epilogue: “There is no way that I will let you propose to me.”

Summary:

The one with the happy ending.

Notes:

I'm done! I can't believe it myself either. It's a little longer than I expected, but still shorter than every other chapter. Enjoy!

As usual: I don't know anything and keep the mistakes you find or become my beta! :)

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Exactly one year later everyone was back in Starling City. There was a wedding to attend to. Raisa and Dimitri were getting married in the same spot they’ve had their first date at. 

When she got the invite a couple of months back, Felicity jumped up and down in her dorm room, before driving over to the frat house Oliver and Tommy were staying in. It didn’t surprise her that both hadn’t checked their mail for the day, so when she walked inside with a smug grin on her face and waving the invite, both of the boys knew why.

 >>---------->

The ceremony went through without a hitch. Raisa looked stunning and Dimitri teared up, when he was waiting at the altar and saw her for the first time. Felicity saw Tommy wiping away some tears when the vows were spoken and she probably would’ve laughed if it wasn’t so beautiful.

The newly wedded couple were having their first dance, when Oliver got a box out of the pocket of his jacket and took Felicity’s hand to get her attention. Her eyes went big, when she saw what he was holding in his other hand and for a second she forgot how to breathe.

Still she quickly pulled away her hand from his. “Uh, uh. No way. Forget it!” Felicity shook her head determinedly. 

Oliver rolled his eyes, because he knew what she was thinking and he couldn’t blame her for it. If he didn’t knew what was going on in his mind, he probably would’ve thought the same. “Please, Felicity. Just let me talk.”

“No!” It was a loud whisper, but he could still hear her anger. “You know how much I hate it when people do that. It’s not fair towards the bride and the groom. Today is Raisa and Dimitri’s day and there is no way that I will let you propose to me. No, Oliver.”

“But-”

Felicity glared at him, when Thea appeared next to Oliver. “Did you ask her yet?”

“You told your sister?” Felicity’s voice was louder now and Tommy, Laurel and Sara, who were sitting at the same table turned to them.

“It’s not what you think,” Oliver tried to explain, but Thea interrupted him, answering the unasked question.

“Ollie wants ’Lissy to move in with him.” She was grinning.

Oliver sighed, Felicity stared at the box in his hand, Tommy and Sara were imitating Thea’s expression and Laurel was the only person, who didn’t understand, why Felicity was so upset a couple of seconds ago.

“Really? That’s great! Where is the apartment?” She got confused when nobody answered. “Did I miss something?”

“Felicity thought that he was going to propose,” Sara explained without taking her eyes off of Felicity, who was still staring at the box.

Laurel’s mouth formed an ‘oh’ and she barely managed not to giggle.

“You weren’t going to propose?,” Felicity whispered, taking the box out of his hand. When she opened it, there was a key inside of it.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you,” Oliver joked with relief flowing through his veins. “But I don’t think that either of us are ready for that.”

Felicity started blushing and her gaze moved back to the key, which was still in the box.

“But I do love you and I want to wake up with you every morning. I want to see you more than just a couple of hours each week, because our schedules are so busy. I want to argue with you about watching The Bachelor or something which is actually good.” Felicity punched his arm lightly and Oliver smiled in response. “I want to listen to you babble about some tech stuff, which I won’t understand. I want you to bug me to study so I won’t fail my classes. I-”

Felicity shut him up with a kiss and Oliver immediately kissed her back. Thea clapped her hands and her curls were bouncing up and down. Tommy tried to cover her eyes, but when she threatened to bite him, he raised his hands in defense.

“So you’ll move in with me?,” Oliver mumbled when they parted. “I promise the apartment is right in the middle of both our campuses and it’s really close to that Italian restaurant you love.”

“Of course I’ll move in with you.”

Oliver beamed. “I love you.”

There was a shy smile on Felicity’s lips. No matter how often he said those words, it felt like a dream every single time. “I love you, too,” she whispered.

Three years later, they graduated with honors. His graduation present for her was ring and a question, her present for him was a ‘yes’.

Notes:

Thank you so much for reading this fic. I had a ton of fun writing it.

Special thanks to flipflops for listening to all my ideas and supporting me throughout the fic. I probably would've given up on this a long time ago if it weren't for you. Thank you!

I am currently working on like half a dozen new fics and I was actually planning on finishing them up, before publishing them, but I will never do that, without some pressure, so look out for another fic of mine, which I plan on uploading this week. :)

Thank you again for all of the kudos, bookmarks and comments I have gotten. When I first wrote this as a oneshot I did not think that it could turn into this. Thank you so much.

Notes:

I do know that the time frame for this fic is a complete mess and doesn't make any sense and I sinceriously apologize for that, but I'm too lazy to fix it, so please just ignore it.
