Maggie (eddiethallen) prompted a fic which included the sentence: "It's all YOUR fault."
They're exactly two hours and thirty-eight minutes into their after-dark patrol when Blaine has a sudden flash of memory which has nothing to do with the yellow blur of lightning darting through the streets below him. He frowns and swoops onto the nearest rooftop, checking his watch as a thought nags at him.
He taps at his earpiece. "Bar?" he says, his gaze finding Barry zipping back and forth between streets to save people from sudden accidents and track any metahuman activities.
"'Sup?"
"Is there… Was there something on tonight? For Sebastian?"
There's a pause over the line, broken only by the crackle of earpiece static that Cisco can't seem to get rid of and the beep of impatient drivers liking their horn too much.
"…shiiiiiiit, there totally was! A benefit thing?"
His worst fears have been realised and he propels from the roof to start flying towards S.T.A.R. Labs. Sebastian will kill them but it's better to be late than never to show at all. If that was the case, they'd be better off not returning home at all.
"It's all YOUR fault," Barry says and Blaine hates that he doesn't even sound puffed despite how fast the yellow blur is travelling. "YOU'RE the one that's meant to remember these things."
"He's YOUR brother," he retorts, finding a patch of darkness to cloak himself within as he approaches the Labs. "Take some responsibility."
"He was YOUR boyfriend first," Barry says as Blaine's feet touch the ground. He frowns, turning towards the man in red leather who jogs up to him but avoids eye contact.
"Bar-"
"Your fault," Barry repeats, stalking past him.
Blaine runs after him, catching Barry's arm and making him stop. Barry's a resisting force in turning around so Blaine steps in front of him and peels the hood from his face. Insecurity is laced in every line of Barry's expression, embarrassment at speaking too soon highlighted by the pink of his cheeks.
"I love you too," Blaine says, gently cradling Barry's face and stroking his thumb along the freckled cheekbone. "Don't forget that."
Barry's nose twitches and he knows that it's his attempt at concealing his disbelief. He wonders when this fight will stop happening, when Barry will understand that Blaine can share his heart with two men. He stifles a sigh and tries to give Barry a bright smile.
"Come on," he says, hand falling to Barry's to tug him inside the Labs. "The quicker we change, the less Sebastian will tear our limbs apart later for forgetting his benefit."
