AN: Yay! I'm finally getting to this. This is the sequel (kinda?) To Come Morning Light. By 'sequel' I mean its all the chapters and things that never made it to the original story.
None of these chapters will really follow up on each other and some will probably go a little AU from the ending of the original story. This is also a book for what you would have liked to see happen in CML, so feel free to leave any prompts.
Like I said, this book is for you guys

This one takes place probably while they were at Star Labs.
"Barry, don't run in the hallway!" Oliver called out after the small body running in front of him. Barry started running faster, pretending to not have heard him. When he turned by the corner his foot slipped on the ground causing him to lose his balance. He landed hard, the sound of impact reaching Oliver's ears. In the blink of an eye he was by Barry's side, helping the kid to sit up. Instead of crying, like Oliver expected, the kid sat holding his jaw with a very confused frown. "Are you okay?"
Barry shifted his jaw a little before glancing up at Oliver with tearful eyes.
"My tooth is loose!" Barry exclaimed, opening his mouth wide to show Oliver how he can wiggle one of his front teeth with his tongue. Glancing around his mouth Oliver noticed that its not the first time Barry seemed to have lost a tooth.
"Don't worry about it. We can just pull it out." Oliver smiled. Barry immediately started protesting against the idea.
"No! Its not loose enough." The kid whimpered, "It'll hurt."
"It won't hurt."
"Yes it will!" the kid started sniffling, scared of the idea. Oliver shifted his body, trying to get the blood flowing through his bent legs and thinking of a different approach .
"Okay, let me look at it at least? See how loose it is?" He asked, trying to keep his voice sincere. Barry shook his head vigorously. Oliver tried again: "I promise all I want to do is look at it."
The kid bit his lip while thinking it over. Eventually he nodded his head, allowing Oliver to look at his tooth. His fingers had just brushed over the kids tooth when Barry pulled back.
"Don't touch it to hard! I don't want it to start hurting." Barry warned his lip trembling slightly, "or it'll start bleeding."
Before the kid could work himself up more Oliver placed a hand on his shoulder .
"Barry, the tooth is already out."
The kid gave him a perplexed look, running his tongue along his gums. When his tongue brushed over the tender spot where his tooth used to be, he gasped in surprise. Oliver held his hand out, palm up, revealing a small white baby tooth in the middle.
"I didn't even feel it!" Barry exclaimed in surprise. Oliver gave a small smile, hoping the kid won't be mad. He didn't have to fear since the small boy only started laughing. "Thank you."
This time the kid smiled with him, proudly showing the gap between his teeth.
