Prompt: Chloe finds Dinah’s suit in Oliver’s closet from miss_morrygan



Oliver sat at his desk in his home office, in the middle of a video chat with Victor when Chloe’s angry voice echoed through the apartment.

“OLIVER!”

His eyes widened and Victor frowned through the screen.

“Was that Chloe?”

“Uhh…”

He opened his mouth as the fiery blonde came into the room carrying what looked like a garment bag. She stopped to the side of him, eyes squinting and angry, jaw clenched mouth in a thin, tight, line as she pointed to the bag in her hand.

“What is this?”

He glanced at the bag and then back at her.

“Clothes?”

Her eye twitched slightly as she let out a frustrated growl. By now the sound of yelling over the monitor had brought A.C. and Bart over toward Victor to see what was going on. All three watched with amusement on their faces as Chloe’s rage descended on Oliver.

“Yes, Oliver. These are clothes that were hanging in your closet.”

He nodded.

“Okay.”

The confusion was written clearly on his face and Chloe tried to force herself to calm down. Last week Oliver had made a point of clearing some room in his closet for her, saying it was of course for convenience purposes only.

Which even though she didn’t buy for a second, she went along with anyway because she couldn’t ignore the fact that lately she spent more time with him then apart from him and going back and forth for stuff was annoying.

So today when Chloe had finally brought some things over to keep there, imagine her surprise when she found another woman’s clothing in his closet. She tossed the bag at him and he caught it. She motioned for him to open it.

He glanced at the bag before hesitantly opening it. When he caught sight of the clothes inside the bag his brow creased and he looked up at her.

“Dinah’s Black Canary suit?”

“Yes Oliver, it is Dinah’s Black Canary suit.”

He pursed his lips together and studied her features. She was definitely mad he just wanted sure why. It wasn’t like he had some random woman’s clothes in his closet. It was just Dinah’s suit. What was the big deal? His tone was careful when he spoke not wanting to make her any more angry then she already was.

“You’re angry because her outfit’s here?”

She pinched the bridge of her nose as her heeled foot tapped lightly against the floor. When she shifted he could see she was trying to quell her emotions.

“Obviously that is why I’m angry. What is her stuff doing in the closet in your bedroom?”

He glanced up meeting her eyes and suddenly the confusion left his face. His lips turned up at the corner as he leaned back in his chair hands behind his head, a smug expression gracing his features. She glared at him, eyebrow arched.

“What are you sitting there smirking about?”

“You Chloe Sullivan are jealous.”

The three people watching their interaction through the video feed winced at his words. They all knew Chloe and they knew that probably wasn’t the best thing he could have said. Her eyes turned into slits, gaze fiery as she looked down on him.

He swallowed hard but held his ground. There was nothing wrong with her being jealous, hell he liked it. At least if she was jealous that meant there was something more going on with them than just sex. Because god forbid she actually admit it. But this…this he could work with.

“What did you just say?”

“I said you are jealous.”

She snorted.

“Of Dinah?”

Oliver shrugged bringing his arms down and folding them over his chest.

“Apparently.”

She clucked her tongue and nodded.

“Fine you know what it was a mistake to think keeping stuff here was a good idea.”

She turned on her heel and went to walk away, but he quickly stood, knocking the bag to the ground, and gripping her arm in his hand.

“What?”

“You obviously don’t really want me here or else you wouldn’t have her stuff in your closet.”

Oliver sighed. He was tired of planning games. Yes she was jealous, but he’d probably never get her to admit it.

“Chloe would you just stop? Please?”

She shook her arm out of his hand and turned so she was facing him.

“Are you going to answer my question?”

“I ordered her a new suit. Remember the mission we went on with Bart? The one off the coast of Fiji?"

She frowned.

“With the makeshift stink bomb?”

He nodded.

“Yes, remember? You complained that weekend because no matter what I did I couldn’t get the smell off me?”

“Yes, okay I remember, but what does that have to do with anything?”

Oliver grinned.

“I got new suits, they just came in.”

Chloe froze for a second.

“They?”

A grin slowly spread across his lips.

“Yes, they. While you were freaking out about Dinah’s costume did you happen to look behind it?”

She pursed her lips together in thought.

“Ahh no?”

“Well if you had you would have seen my suit and Bart’s back there two. I haven’t had a chance to get them out yet since they came in late yesterday.”

“Oh…”

“Yeah oh…”

He watched her as she bit her lip and gave him a sheepish smile.

“Opps.”

Oliver chuckled before moving and pulling her into his arms, amusement dancing in his eyes.

“I have to say Professor, green is definitely your color.”

She rolled her eyes.

“Mm, you would like it.”

He waggled his eyebrows at her and spoke in a husky voice.

“How about I show you just how much I like it?”

Before she could answer he was tossing her over his shoulder as she yelped and carrying her towards his bedroom.

“Ollie put me down.”

“No worries, I plan to.”

Bart, Victor and A.C. stared at the video feed watching their two leaders disappear down the hall, peels of laughter coming from Chloe. Bart frowned as Victor spoke.

“He completely forgot we were here.”

Bart was still staring at the camera, a pout on his face.

“Did you know Chloelicious was dating the boss man?"

A.C. smirked and broke the silence.

“How much money do you think we’d get if we sold this video feed to the Star City Gazette?”
