Father's Day. Most would spend this day with their family, if they were available, or cursing the Dad fate had given them. Oliver Queen, however, wasn't like most people. He spent his Father's Day much like any other day, sulking in the Arrow Cave.
Hunched over a computer, the billionaire philanthropist was hard at work coordinating his various charities. The stubble over his chin was coarse as he ran his fingers against it, wondering somewhere in the back of his mind whether he looked as shaggy as he felt. Most of the other lights were off, arrows, bows, and mementos cloaked in shadow. Bones creaked as he leaned back against his luxury desk chair.
"Hm," he grunted, eyes drifting to the bottom right corner of the screen. The date was displayed in its unassuming white, and a few clicks revealed that it was, in fact, Father's Day. Further clicks revealed his calendar, showing various engagements that he missed, dates that he had forgotten. Cissie had graduated, and where was he? Sulking because she saw his greatest foe as more of a father than he was? Mia had returned home, and he hadn't even bothered to send a text with a snarky comment. He had no idea what Connor was up to.
Ollie pinched the bridge between his eyes.
"I suck."
He turned off his computer and went to stand in front of the wall adorned with a variety of arrows. A motion sensitive light blanketed the area with illumination, causing him to wince.
"Yeah, I suck. But I'm not dead yet. Just..."
Ollie turned from the wall and headed towards the stairs.
"Old."
