TO BE EASY , TO BE understanding & capable of adoring someone other than themself , was not written into arrow’s code . but during good days , of which were far & few in between , they could convince themself that love wasn’t out of his reach . it seemed possible next to him , if they put all the negative imagery of arguments & treating each other wrongly out of their mind . tobias had been a mainstay in arrow’s life , since they were both young , maybe the missing puzzle piece if they both weren’t so terrible for each other . yet , something about him , kept arrow close by , willing to beg for a second , third , fourth chance . thorny as their skin was , incapable of producing anything but falseness for long periods of time , their fingers felt oh so right entangled in tobias’s hair . difficult days were fleeting within him & arrow sought it out , despite the time limit ticking away before the pair would go back to their typical ways . “ babes . . . ” he hummed , barely above a whisper , “ i think you owe me breakfast . seeing our latest cheating scandal on the news gave me irreversible trauma that only waffles can cure . ” in a rare joking mood , they smiled , too lazy & serene to get up out of their shared hotel room bed .
