The following day with dl_greenarrow.

When Chloe woke up, she was in her bed, her memory hazy for a few seconds, it looked kind of dark outside, but it didn't sound like it was early in the morning, the traffic in the distance outside, it sounded more like rush hour than anything else.

She sat up and when she did, her head immediately started pounding and with the pounding came her memories, she remembered the accident and the hospital and then leaving the hospital with Oliver and then...

The clock said it was 6:43, and if the noise outside was anything to go by, it was 6:43PM. She had slept all day, which meant she had slept all day and that meant she had completely missed work.

Chloe groaned and rubbed her head before getting up, she could hear the TV in the living room, so she walked towards it sleepily.

"Well, there will be no dying young for you if I can help it." She shrugged a little and looked at him sadly, "and I hope you can find something else someday."

Oliver was silent for a moment. "You really think there's anyone out there who'd be understanding about the green leather fetish?"

He rubbed the back of his neck. In reality, he knew himself well enough to know that it only partially boiled down to that. The rest was fear, plain and simple. Fear of having the people he loved and cared about snatched away from him, fear of losing them because of who he was. Even just losing them in general. He looked down at the floor.

"Yes." She answered firmly, keeping her eyes on him, "if you show them how much it means to you and tell them why you do it, Oliver, I have no doubt that you could find someone understanding enough to accept all of what you are." She shrugged and raised her eyebrows at him, "and once they get it, I think they would be incredibly lucky."

He looked at her for a moment, a bit surprised by her last words. "Even if I'm a billionaire playboy?" he teased lightly.
