Morning After
Who: Chloe Sullivan and Oliver Queen
What: Post drunkness shame
When: Sunday morning
Where: Her apartment
Warnings: Possible angst, definitely embarrassment.

Her head was pounding and her body was heavy. As she slowly woke up, she groaned and pulled the covers higher over her head, rubbing it slowly over her face, memories from the previous night coming back to her almost instantly.

And with that came complete and utter shame.

Slowly, she pulled the blanket down and reached for her phone on the bedside table, wincing as when she opened her text messages, Oliver's screen popped up instantly and as she read everything and remembered even better all she had said and done during the night and worse, all over the boards, she really had no real desire to ever leave the bedroom ever again, much less the apartment.

But leaving the bed was going to be a necessity since she knew her headache was partially due to lack of caffeine.

After a long moment, she got up and with her eyes still closed, she made her way to the bathroom for a shower. Once she felt slightly cleaner, she changed into a pair of sweat pants and a tanktop then made her way to the coffee maker, not even noticing she had a guest on her couch.

He had decided the best bet was to spend the night on her sofa. Sure, he could have gone to his own apartment, but he wasn't that used to seeing Chloe drunk, and he wanted to make sure she was all right when she woke up. Besides that, between the weird text messages she'd sent him while drunk, and the weird things she and Lois and Kimberly had been posting on the boards the previous night, he had a feeling that she'd be in full-on avoid mode.

And he wasn't going to let her do that without a fight. He knew how good she was at avoiding things when she was upset or uncomfortable, but he refused to let her avoid him. Not again, anyway.

He heard the shower running and he laid still on the couch, staring up at the ceiling, and then drawing in a deep breath when he heard her light footsteps heading toward the kitchen.

"Coffee's already made," he said, not looking over at her. Just in case she wasn't dressed. Not that he figured she ran around her apartment naked on a regular basis.

Not that he thought about her running around her apartment naked. Much.

Chloe stilled and gasped, smelling the coffee instantly, then turning around slowly and staring over at the couch. Her stomach dropped and unless that was Clark, and it hadn't sounded like him, it was Oliver. And it had sounded like him.

Of course he was there, she vaguely remembered something about him and Clark picking them up. She rubbed her hand over her face then approached the couch slowly.

	"So...on a scale of one to never drinking again, how bad is the hangover?" he asked, slowly sitting up when he heard her approaching, figuring she must be dressed or she'd have fled to the bedroom already. He arched his eyebrows at her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	More on a scale of one to never wanting to see him again. Chloe stared down at him for a moment then took a deep breath and made her way over to the kitchen, "I need coffee." She said instead of answering his question. The only thing she really wanted besides a huge mug of coffee was to rush back into her room and lock the door until he went away.

	Avoidance already. Not a great sign. He rubbed a hand over his face and rose to his feet, following her into the kitchen and leaning against the counter wordlessly, waiting for her to get her coffee and turn to face him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Even though she could feel him standing behind her, she took her time getting a mug and pouring the hot liquid into it. It was too bad she wanted it black or she could have bought herself even more time while she prepared it.

"You didn't have to stay." She said finally, but didn't turn to look at him. Between everything that she had said the previous night, in addition to her being in her pajamas, with no make up and her hair still dripping from the shower, she felt even more exposed and even less ready to face him.

	"Sure I did. I wanted to make sure you were okay," he said honestly, watching her even though she kept her back to him. "To be honest, I'm not really used to seeing you..." He paused, trying to be delicate. "Less than perfectly in control." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
