To wish you a happy birthday, bae. Thanks for dealing with my shit for years and always being here. You’re really one of a kind and I appreciate everything you’ve ever done for me. I’m gonna keep this short and sweet so I don’t keep bugging you. Chin up, and have an amazing birthday. Take a shot for me, yeah?
Sara murmured a sorry at Oliver’s sharp inhale, doing her best to finish cleaning the wound without causing him anymore pain. When that was done, she picked up a pair of tweezers and started to remove any debris that was in or around it. “You mean what happens if you make a mistake? Oliver, you’re human. It happens. But I’ll always have faith in you, and so will the rest of your team.” She shook her head as she continued to work, “I’m not asking you to stop, and I’m not asking you to give up. I’m asking you to take five seconds for yourself. Grab something to eat. Take a walk. Clear your head.”
Oliver had blankly stared at the ground as a million things just ran through his head. Maybe she was right, maybe he needed to take a step back for just a second to gather his thoughts. It was only a matter of time until his mistakes cost him a lot more than a few wounds. “Maybe you’re right..” He muttered under his breath, he rolled his arm back for a moment trying to dull the pain that was shooting through his frame. “If I don’t take 5 minutes to myself...worse things could happen.”
“You wanna hit a guy because I made a Lord of the Rings reference.” It wasn’t a question. He couldn’t think of any other possible interpretations to what Oliver had said. “And people say you overreact,” he added as an after-comment with a grin. Because how else was one supposed to react if not with the desire to punch somebody? He knew he was most likely joking, but still. “Basically, that’s it: a lot of Earths, each one with a version of us.” After having explained it to so many people, he no longer wanted to walk them through the long, complicated version of the explanation. “I know, right?” he proudly agreed, crossing his arms over his chest.
“I feel like overreacting is the wrong word here, more just doing things without rational thoughts?” A chuckle soon escaped him, looking over at Barry the moment he started talking about the multiple earths. “Okay...I think I get it.” Who was he kidding? It was something he probably just wouldn’t understand. Oliver has come to the conclusion that Barry’s world was a lot more complicated and different than his own, so he just accepted what he could about the whole thing. “Hopefully other earth Oliver isn’t much like me and can understand this way better than I could.”
Felicity let out a sigh at the mention of the break up, she’d had her reasons and she hoped he had understood them “I know. Doesn’t mean I’m not going to check in from time to time.”
A chuckle escaped him as his arms crossed over his chest. “At least you care enough.” Raising his brows up, taking a few steps back nodding his head for a moment “Anyways, how are you doing?”
“What? You mean like how you so easily accept help?” She shot back at him. Her arms still folded in front of her with a smirk now on her face. “I had to get it from someone in the family.”
It wasn’t too much longer until Oliver just snapped at her. “I don’t accept help because every time I bring someone into my world they end up hurt, or worse! You know that.” He took a step back, exhaling slowly before he lifted his head up to look at her. “Don’t do this.”
“You needn’t worry about my being here. I am not going to be causing any person of your city any harm.”
“You see, last time you said that you left a trail of bodies in your path. Now what business do you have in my city?”
A frustrate sigh escaped her lips as she rounded on him. “I am sorry Oliver- but I tried to come up with better solutions and I tried to help you see the light but you made those decisions to not change and that’s exactly why-” She stopped herself. This argument was not about them, and she didn’t think it was fair of herself to throw that in his face when the only reason they were talking right now was because she insisted on trying to be friends with him, but maybe that wasn’t going to work. Maybe instead she was better off just walking away and leaving. “This was a mistake.”
He could feel himself grinding his teeth together in frustration, trying to keep himself from having another outburst. He knew that it just was not right for him to burst out at her like that, she’s certainly didn’t deserve it but bursting out in such way was the only way he knew how to get his point across. Oliver could sense the words that were about to come from her lips and they ran through him like knives, an sharp exhale left him as his head shook. “No, what was it you wanted to say!? There is no light here, why can’t you see that!?”
Someone give this to me, please.
As I tackle these replies, I’ll just open up a starter call to get some fresh new stories going on. If you want to plot just inbox me or drop me your aim if you have one to get things rolling. I’m not as aggressive....as I use to be.
Hopefully after work tomorrow I'll hit those drafts and open up a starter call most likely.
Hey guys, it’s that time of the year where Scott and I open up a commission … thing and try to take your money in exchange for our sweet Photoshop and HTML skills. We had something horrible happen to us recently & we’re trying our best to recover from it. continue reading….

We shall be free; the Almighty hath not built Here for his envy, will not drive us hence: Here we may reign secure; and, in my choice, To reign is worth ambition, though in Hell: Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.

Just have a lot going on and my focus is not currently on my writing. I'll be back soon though!
