When Oliver dropped out of Harvard, Felicity had a moment of blind fear that Tommy would leave too, to go wherever Oliver went, and that she was going to be left all alone in a huge apartment and a really cold city.
But Tommy didn’t leave and in the end, though Oliver jumped over to the Northwestern, he still ended up at their apartment more often than not.
Sometimes he and Tommy partied until morning, sometimes they holed up in the apartment and kept her company, or picked her up at the library and drove around for awhile. Oliver always seemed as cheerful as ever, like nothing at all bothered him, but sometimes he’d be quiet for hours, and Felicity worried a little. Maybe.
She tried talking to him a few times. Sometimes he talked back, sometimes he deflected.
He always seemed happy to see her though, and always made coffee for her before he left, because he knew she liked his best, though she’d never admitted it.
