Back in...Green. RP with chloeas

[olliequeen]

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.

His arm tightened around her a little as well at her lack of response. "I promise you," he whispered.

She finally nodded after a second but didn't pull back, "as long as you're safe," she said quietly.

"We, Chloe," he corrected her gently. "As long as we're safe. We're a team, remember? In this together."

Chloe finally pulled her head back and nodded once, her eyes meeting his, "we." She repeated.

Oliver smiled faintly, holding her gaze without wavering. "Now let's get some sleep."

Chloe nodded and tightened her arm around him again then sighed deeply and closed her eyes. She didn't know if she was going to be able to sleep, but laying down with him, like this was comforting.

He relaxed more as she curled up against him. Before Chloe, he'd never slept in a bed with a woman in a purely platonic sense, but there was something very comforting about it. And he had a feeling it was more to do with the who than anything. Within moments, he'd dozed off once more.
