Bruce, trying to prove that he isn’t boring to the ONE PERSON that will never think he is boring : hey Oliver let’s hang out

Oliver thinking Bruce is trying to tell him that they have a mission they need to do bc why would Bruce EVER hang out with him after all these years of strained civilian friendship : ok buddy :)

Bruce, at the club: are u finding this fun, Ollie :)

Oliver thinking it’s code language for if he found the “target” for the mission: no

Bruce, sad about it: ): oh

Oliver, looking at Bruce’s reaction and now he’s panicking thinking it’s some world dominating threat bc why would Bruce be THIS visibly upset about a target if they weren’t a huge freaking deal:

I kinda imagine that but with Ollie and Bruce— instead of the batfamily being the ones on Ollie’s case with the relationship. It’s Team Arrow on Bruce. But not the same old “if you hurt him, we will hurt you” issue but rather, “Oliver is going to hurt you. (Unintentionally, obviously)

Like Oliver isn’t an easy person to get along with. You know this, you literally work with him. He’s going to hurt you at some point. He’s going to keep you out and he’s going to create distance. It’s about endurance but you shouldnt be afraid of putting him in his place, yanno. He’s gonna fuck up, hold him accountable.

I’ve been thinking about him a lot and his relationships. He loves Dinah to death, loves her so, so, SO much but he is also not amazing at making decisions whilst in the relationship in relation to Dinah. Referring to the 1988 GA run.
