Chapter Text
She had heard him wrong.. that was the only logical explanation, It was impossible that he had said what she thought she had heard. Oliver couldn’t do that, not it that moment, when she was in their new lair running the comms for the team, while Dig, Thea, Laurel and Oliver himself were in a warehouse basically fighting for their lives against Damien Darhk’s men… he simply wouldn’t.
She took a deep breath, sure it was just a trick of her imagination
“What did you say?” she asked through the comms, in a conversation that ALL THE TEAM could hear
“Will you marry me?” he repeated and she slumped back on her chair, still not believing it. He had said those words, in the middle of a fight, she could hear clearly the sound of the battle, the punches, the screams of pain, and the shots, his own voice was strained, he was in the middle of a fight for Google’s sake!
They had been together for a year now, and ok, she had to admit that she would be lying if she said she hadn’t though about marrying him, about how he would propose but in NONE of her dreams the proposal went like this!
“No” her voice was clear, and angry. She could hear the reaction of the team but she was to busy being angry with her boyfriend to pay attention to them.
“What?” Oliver’s voice showed that he was hurt, he clearly hadn’t expected that answer” I..” but she interrupted him
“Oliver Jonas Queen, that’s not how you propose! You don’t propose over a comm. Link with the rest of the team listening! You do not propose while you are fighting the bad guys! You do NOT get to propose because there are tons of adrenaline running through your body! You do it right! With.. with roses, or music, or candles! A ring would be nice, even if it costs you five bucks! I don’t care! But you do it looking at me! You do not propose like this! So no, I don’t accept your proposal!” she would’ve swear that she heard him chuckle but he didn’t say another word, even though he didn’t mute his comm., he just… focused on the mission.
Thea and laurel tried to say something and judging from their tones they agreed with Felicity but a growl from Oliver was enough to shut them up.
From then on they all focused on the mission, the only thing Felicity could hear was when they talked though their comms to coordinate the attack of if they needed something from her, the one that didn’t ask her anything else was Oliver, she asked herself if he had hurt him or made him mad after her speech in front of all their friends, but after a moment she just thought that if he was mad, she was madder, it was him who propose in front of all their friends, so he had to accept the consequences of his acts.
Finally, about half an hour later she could hear Dig’s voice calling to her
“It’s over Felicity, we’re coming home”
“you guys are all okay?” she asked, wanting to heard him, but after a few seconds she was met with John again
“yeah, we’re al pretty shaken up, but we are okay”
After that, the comms went dead without a word and she started to prep everything for when they’d come back. She was starting to get nervous when she heard the door of the lair.
“Finally I was..” but when she turned around the words died in her throat, because where she expected the whole team in their suits, there was only Oliver, standing in front of her in a three piece black suit that was almost sinful, a white shirt and a tie, and he had a smile in his face that was most definitely one of the capital sins.
“Oliver… what… where is everybody?” she asked, and immediately facepalmed herself, he was in front of her, more beautiful than ever, and she had to ask about the team? What was wrong with her?
“I sent them home” he said, his voice calm, but at the same time flirty
“And you changed” she was again, stating the obvious, but it was all her brain was capable of at that moment
“yeah, I.. had this on the car and changed before I came in”
“Why?” she was almost shaking, all of his barriers were down and she could see in his eyes all the love and devotion that he felt and it was overwhelming
“because you were right, it wasn’t the right moment, or the right way, and you deserve better” he took two steps towards her, stood mere inches from her and pulled something from his pocket. Felicity saw with a gasp that it was a green velvet box, and he chuckled “it’s almost ironic, I’ve been carrying this around for weeks, looking for the perfect moment, and I probably ended up choosing the worst one but tonight while we were fighting those men, I saw one of Darhk’s men, he was lying on the ground and had a ring on his hand, and in that moment I realized that I didn’t want to expend another minute of my life not being married to you, or at least, engaged, I didn’t want to expend another minute without you knowing how much I love you and how happy you make me everyday.” Tears were falling from Felicity’s eyes when she saw Oliver went down on one knee “I don't have candles or flowers, but I love you, more than I thought it was possible, you are the best thing that ever happened to me, I don’t know what I did to have the luck of having you in my life, let alone love me, but I swear that now that I have you, I don’t plan on letting you go, so, Felicity Meghan Smoak, would you make me the happiest man on earth and accept my proposal of becoming my wife?” He opened the little box to show her a white gold ring with a green emerald, it was simple, beautiful, it was.. perfect
“you see, that’s how you got a girl to say yes” she answered with tears running down her cheeks and a smile so big that almost hurt. Oliver smiled at her, and after putting the ring on her finger, he stood up, took her face in both his hands and kissed her, passionately. She wrapped her arms around his neck and his went down to her waist until the need of air was too much
He pressed their foreheads together and smile, that goofy smile that she loved because it was only for her
“I love you Oliver”
“I love you Felicity, I love you so much” She smiled and kissed him again. Just as she’d dreamt, it had been perfect
