Realizations

A/N: I want to dedicate this fic to Epochal Eclipse. She has been endless in her support and I want to thank her for not giving up on me or my stories. I am awful with updates and This is an apology and a present.

Oliver startled awake as a blanket spread across him. He turned his head and stretched out to lay on his stomach. His eyes slowly opened and he saw a swash of red and blue. 'Boy Scout.' He thought affectionately.

"Clark ?" He called out. The tall brunette turned to him and smiled. A smile that always gave Ollie butterflies. "You should be asleep, Ollie." Clark said, his deep voice music to the archer's ears. "Why ?, I'm fine, never better." The slender blonde sat and rose up. He realized he should've listened to Clark and his head growled at him for the stupid movement.. His feet joined in and slid out from under him. The sensation of falling grabbed at him.

But, at the same time a pair of muscular arms wrapped around him and Clark caught him soundlessly against his strong chest. "This is why you listen when you people tell you to sleep." Clark teased. He slipped an arm around Ollie's shoulders and guided them slow and gentle as he had ever been to the couch. The brunette sat them both down.

Oliver nodded and let his head drop to Clark's shoulder with a yawn. Clark reached a hand up to gently massage his fingers through Ollie's scalp, Grabbing the remote with he pulled on a movie he could recall seeing a preview for a week ago. 10 minutes later, Clark felt a warm soft breath puff onto his neck. Tilting his head he saw Oliver asleep. Chuckling affectionately at the sight he went to slip out from under the archer.

He stopped as Ollie groaned and started to shift. Clark sat back down and quickly resumed his ministrations. About an hour later, The blonde shifted and he moved his head to Clark's chest. Clark froze but as Ollie snuggled closer to him., one hand fisting into his t-shirt, he relaxed with a loving smile. He wrapped an arm around Ollie's shoulders, fixing the blanket around the slim body of the beautiful blonde that had found a special place in his heart.

As he looked down to the sleeping beauty in his arms he felt his heart grow to a size it hadn't felt since Lana had left. But, the love he felt for Lana was only half of what he felt for Ollie. Tightening his arms around the dozing hero, he placed a caring kiss in his golden hair. Realization that he had never felt anything better than what he was feeling right now came and his heart warmed.
