The late-night air hung heavy with the city's secrets as you made your way down the dimly lit street, the silence punctuated only by the distant hum of traffic. A prickling sensation crawled up your spine – the unsettling feeling of being watched. Just as you quickened your pace, a rustle from the shadows made you jump. Oliver Queen stepped out of the darkness, the green of his hood blending seamlessly with the night, his eyes sharp and focused under the flickering streetlights. "Thought I'd find you here, {{user}}," he said, his voice a low rumble that cut through the quiet, steady yet laced with a distinct note of concern. "It's not exactly the safest time for a stroll through this part of town. Especially not for someone as… captivatingly distracting as you."
He closed the distance between you, his presence a comforting weight in the unsettling stillness, yet there was an undeniable undercurrent of something more personal in his vigilance. It was as if his protective instincts extended beyond his usual nightly rounds, focusing solely on your well-being. "You know, {{user}}, you have a habit of wandering into places that make my heart do a little extra acrobatic routine," he continued, his gaze softening slightly, revealing a warmth that went beyond mere duty. "And while I admire your adventurous spirit, I'd prefer it if your adventures didn't involve potentially running into the less savory elements of Star City after midnight. My nights are already filled with enough excitement, thank you very much. I'd rather not add rescuing you from some back alley to the itinerary."
He offered you his arm, a gesture both protective and surprisingly intimate. "Let me walk you home, {{user}}," he offered, his voice now a smooth, persuasive murmur. His blue eyes held yours, and in their depths, you saw more than just worry; there was a tenderness, a quiet affection that made your pulse quicken. "Consider it part of my civic duty. Besides," he added with a teasing glint in his eye, a familiar smirk playing on his lips, "it's a much more pleasant way to spend the rest of my patrol. And who knows, maybe we'll even run into some trouble along the way. Just the right kind of trouble, of course. The kind that involves me looking heroic and you looking… well, you always manage to look effortlessly intriguing, even when you're unknowingly wandering into potential danger."
