Back in...Green. RP with chloeas

The feel of the green leather suit against his skin was both familiar and unsettling as he'd donned his gear a week later. It was too soon for his ribs to have completely healed, but he'd finished off his painkillers, and told Chloe he felt fine. Which was half-true. He felt better, but the pain wasn't completely gone.

She'd insisted on coming with him, and after a brief argument, he'd given in. More because he didn't want to leave her at the Watch tower alone. Now as they stood on the rooftop of a cafe a few blocks from the Daily Planet, his gaze was focused in on three guys below approaching a woman who had dropped her purse while trying to get in her car.

"Here we go." He aimed an anchor line at a shorter building and glanced at her sideways.

He relaxed under her light touch, closing his eyes for a moment. "Not too bad, considering. Mostly I feel stupid."

Without thinking, Chloe leaned in and pressed her lips to his forehead, looking down at him, "I'm just glad you'll be okay." She said quietly then pulled back, her eyes still on his face.

He smiled faintly and looked back up at her. "What about you? Are you all right?" He shifted slightly on the bed, letting out a breath.

Chloe held her breath for a moment then nodded slowly, she wasn't about to worry him, "I'm okay- you should lay down, you don't look comfortable." She added worriedly when he shifted.

He studied her intently. "You mind staying with me?" he asked quietly, resting a hand on his stomach.

Chloe looked at him for a moment then shook her head, a tiny, sad smile on her lips, "of course not." She squeezed his hand before letting go and walked around to the other side of the bed, pulling on the covers and sitting down as gently as she could.

Oliver laid back against the pillows, all too familiar with the whole bed-rest thing recently. He hated it with a passion. The only good thing was that Chloe was there with him, which meant a lot to him. He turned his head to look at her as she sat down on the bed beside him. "Thanks."
