OLIVER'S APARTMENT (after Darhk's Defeat and Death, season finale of season 4)
Oliver Queen

As everyone told me their goodbyes I stand in the middle of my apartment. The feeling inside me is pure guilt. Laurel would've hated me if I killed Darhk. I had to, there was no other way to defeat him.

I continue throwing myself the pity party I deserve until my door is knocked on. Who could it be? Everyone is gone, far away from the city, far away from me.

I walk to the door opening it and see Drake standing there with his Black Canary costume as he's wearing it like casual wear. I haven't seen Drake since I dropped him off back at his home after Hub City. After he made the move with me.

I love Drake, I just don't know the right time. I just don't know how to confess to him.

"Hi." I say with a small smile starring at him as he also has a bag with him. I stare at the bag confused but ignore it and stare back at him.

"Hi." He says as we stare at each other awkwardly and then I let him in. He throws his duffle bag to the door as I close it behind him and he looks around the apartment as if it were his home. It could be if I knew how to make him stay with me.

"It's been awhile." I say to start a conversation. "How have you been?" I ask him as he walks to the balcony and then stops and turns around.

"Regretting." He says honestly and then walks back towards me. "Look Ollie, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to kiss you. I only wanted to help you from getting your life killed." He says and he's lying and I catch him as he realizes it too. "It's just, you were sending me mixed signals ever since I came to this city. I just thought that you liked me and I actually did like you back-" He says as he starts apologizing to me with small tears growing in his eyes. I then interrupt him and quickly grab him and kiss him to shut him up.

"-It's alright." I unhook my lips from his and stare at him as he stares at me confused. "Drake. Ever since you came into this city and I laid eyes on you, I've wanted to be with you. You are truly an amazing person I've gotten to know, you are filled with love and compassion and I just want to be there to hold you... I only pushed you away because I was afraid that you would get hurt. But I should've known that you don't need someone to protect you, you're the most bad ass person I've ever met. Drake Lance you're AMAZING and I want to be with you." I say as I stare at him and as I do, I feel proud of myself.

This was the right time, the perfect time. The only time. "I want to spend every moment with you-" I say and then he kisses me and I kiss him back. I hold him tight in my arms as we're something now.
