Chapter 38
"I'll see you guys tonight." Oliver said to Thea and Roy as he dropped them off in front of Thea's apartment building.
"We're going over to his place tonight?" Roy asked.
"Did you honestly think you were getting out of prison without a party?" Thea asked and Roy smiled.
"So, who's going to be there?" Roy asked as they headed inside.
"Well, it's Oliver and Laurel's place, so them." Thea said.
"Wait, what happened between Oliver and Felicity?" Roy asked.
"It turns out that one of the many flings Ollie had years ago resulted in him having a kid who he then had to keep secret from Felicity, but when she eventually found out, she called off their engagement, but honestly, they both seem happier now that they're just friends. Oliver and Laurel on the other hand, I knew that the spark between them never really went out." Thea said as she opened the door.
"Man, I forgot what it feels like to sit on furniture that's actually comfortable." Roy said when he noticed something in the room.
"Who's this?" Roy asked as he picked up a picture of Thea and Nora.
"Oh, I took custody of Nora Darhk after her dad died and her mom went to prison. The reason I did is because, well, I was her age when my dad died and I went down a really dark path. I want to make sure that Nora has a good life." Thea said.
"There's that heart again Thea. It's one of the reasons I fell in love with you." Roy said and Thea smiled.
"You know, Nora is with the others at Ollie's and we don't have to be there for a few hours." Thea said as she led Roy back towards her bedroom and he smiled as they began kissing again, this time all the passion that had built up during their separation coming to the surface as they fell down upon Thea's bed.
That night, Oliver and Laurel's apartment was packed with them, Thea, Roy, John, Lyla, Felicity, Quentin, Nora and Emiko, all of them celebrating Roy's freedom.
"So, apparently you have another sister." Roy said to Oliver as they watched Thea and Emiko talk and it already looked like they were bonding.
"Yeah, I mean, it was weird when I first found out about Emiko, but she's growing on me." Oliver said.
"Speaking of your sisters, there's something I need to ask you." Roy said.
"You're gonna need this." Oliver said with a smile as he just handed Roy a small box.
"Wait, how did you?" Roy asked.
"Because I would do the exact same thing with Laurel if it had been me in your position and it should've been." Oliver said.
"Don't do that to yourself Oliver. Besides, we're both out and what's done is done." Roy said.
"True, but Roy, if you break Thea's heart, you'll wish you'd stayed safely behind bars." Oliver warned him.
"The last time I broke Thea's heart, it was only because you told me to." Roy pointed out.
"Fair point, but now I don't need to, since you don't have the Mirakuru in you, which means you're not any threat to her." Oliver said as he then called for a toast as everyone gathered around.
"I'd like to make a toast to all of us being together again. Roy, things here were not the same without you and I think I speak for all of us when I say I'm glad you're back." Oliver said.
"Though some of us are probably more glad than others." Laurel said since Thea was sticking closely to Roy's side.
"True, but anyways, Roy, any plans now that you're out?" John asked.
"Actually, right now there is one plan, but that's it." Roy said as Oliver smiled as he knew what was about to happen.
"Really, what is your plan?" Thea asked.
"This." Roy said as he got down on one knee and took Thea's hand in his own.
"Thea Dearden Queen, I have loved you ever since the day I stole your purse and after being away from you for so long, now that we're finally together again, I know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" Roy asked as he pulled out the box Oliver had given him and opened it to reveal a beautiful ring.
"Yes." Thea said without hesitation, tears of joy in her eyes that she and Roy were finally getting their happy ending.
"You okay with this Nora?" John asked Thea's foster daughter.
"It would be nice to have a male role model who doesn't want to destroy the world, plus, I've never seen Thea this happy before." Nora said with a small smile as she watched Roy place the ring on Thea's finger and kissed her.
"This ring is beautiful. But also looks familiar." Thea said as she examined the ring.
"That's because it was mom's." Oliver said.
"What?" Thea asked.
"Mom left the ring to me in her will, since she wanted you to be the one to wear it should she die before you got married, so I kept it safe until Roy decided he wanted to ask me for my blessing to marry you. I've carrying this around ever since we first started planning to get him out. I gave it to him earlier tonight." Oliver said and Thea smiled brightly.
"It's like I'll still have bit of her with me, though I'll be a bit more faithful to this ring then she was." Thea said as Laurel and Emiko came over to admire it.
