[ Honestly? There's nothing wrong with fucking around. Even Oliver thinks so. And it would've been fine, if it had just been the one or two times it happened between them. But when Connor kept coming over, bringing him dinner, confiding in him, making him think he generally cared and insinuating himself in Oliver's life, then it became a problem.
Oliver thought they actually had something, until he realized he was just another in a string of hook-ups whose tech skills Connor found useful in a pinch. He was no more special than that Pax guy (Oliver doesn't want to think ill of him, since he killed himself and all, he feels bad), the only difference being he'd been smart enough to play Connor right back.
He frowns at the voice in the background, as much as at the unhelpful response. He's half-tempted to use the phone's GPS to pinpoint Connor's exact location (make sure he really gets home safe and doesn't fall asleep on some park bench), but that sounds crazy even to his tired and emotionally wrung-out brain. ]
Hey. I don't know where you are exactly, but... you can crash here if you want.
[ Apparently, inviting his completely wasted ex over isn't crazy. (It definitely is.) As soon as the words are out, he winces and palms his forehead, trying to convince himself he only did it out of concern for Connor's safety and not some other reason. ]
