10x14, “Masquerade”
“So, I gotta a question for you. When people see this adorable blonde—and you are, on this adorable blond’s arm…what do they call you?”
#One of my favorite scenes #i love love how he says ‘i know’ #softly reassuring her that he’s just teasing #but a part of him is serious #because he knows that labels like ‘girlfriend’ and ‘boyfriend’ seem too…small for what they are #she gave up her sanity and life for him #he lost his when she was gone #their love…this is it for them #but chloe’s not quite ready to say it #and oliver gets it #GETS her #he can’t help but tease her but this is what she needs and he’ll always do what she needs
Especially this last tag…
#when people hate on pepper #i just automatically think so much less of them #and when they don’t see how /much/ she is to tony #then #then i just want to hit them in the face
Pretty much Oliver is saying, “Come on, let’s have sex as friends, then realize we love each other, proclaim it as I get kidnapped, you disappear on me then I’ll pine, then you come back, we get hitched in Metropolis’ version of Vegas while on some magic induced wine, run away together and make a baby.”
And Chloe says, “Sure! Why not?!”
And then Chlollie fans who had been crackshipping for long enough said, “Fuck YES! Finally!”
And then Chlollie was canon.
The End.
