Sleeping With Arrows

Dizzy

"Hello?" Aurora replied groggily. Her phone had woken her up and she had answered it without checking to see who it was in her sleepy state.

"Aurora. Did I wake you?" Oliver Queen's voice asked through the phone.

"Yeah but it's alright, what's up Oliver?" She asked, sitting up a little straighter. She kept her voice low, seeing as Felicity was still sleeping.

"I just came to your apartment to talk to you... and you were gone" Oliver explained

"I'm spending the weekend in Central City, and Felicity's with me" Aurora clarified. She thought about telling him about Barry before second guessing herself and deciding against it.

"Oh okay, I just wanted to make sure you were safe" He said

"Did you want to talk about something Oliver?" Aurora asked, although she already knew the answer.

An awkward pause ensued. Oliver knew that by the time he spoke, he had already sold himself out.

"Uh, no...?" Oliver tried

"You're a terrible liar Oliver" Aurora retorted

"Better than you" He replied cockily, before awkwardly adding, "Besides, it can wait"

"Can it really?" She asked seriously

"Yeah. Don't worry about me" He replied.

Oliver only used the resigned tone of voice she was hearing when he was frustrated and hopeless; when he resorted to pained, fake smiles to get him through the day. In conclusion, Aurora worried.

"You know I will Oliver. You don't sound okay" Aurora remarked

"I'll see you soon. Bye Rory" He hung up before Aurora had the chance to correct him on her name, or react at all for that matter.

"Bye Ollie" She sighed as she tossed her phone onto the comforter of the bed she and Felicity shared.

"Early morning calls from yours truly?" Felicity smirked. Aurora hadn't even noticed when she had woken up.

"Shut it before I kick you out" Aurora rolled her eyes

"This isn't even your house!" Felicity countered

"Get up! We're late!" Caitlin popped her head into the doorway, and the morning sprung into action.

On Sunday night, Felicity and Aurora stood before their friends on the train platform. They all exchanged tight hugs.

"Hey, I'll be back soon, yeah? Don't die while I'm away" Aurora smirked at Barry

"As long as you promise to do the same" Barry smirked back at his sister

"Deal. I love you" She pecked his cheek one last time before starting to board the train.

Caitlin, Mack, Barry, Cisco, Harry, and Iris waved to the two girls until they were out of sight.

"Home sweet home. Here we come" Felicity sighed as the two settled into their seats and dozed off.
