A thallen one shot because there's not enough thallen in his fandom. This one is short
- Eddie finds out Barry is the flash and is hurt that Barry didn't tell him.
- (this is post Eddie saving flash from Captain Cold and Heat Wave so Eddie doesn't hate the flash any longer)
Despite being the fastest man alive (correction: second fastest man alive) Barry was the last to notice the last to notice the gun being turned on him. While he didn't notice the gun being pointed at him, Eddie did. Barry did, however, notice the slightly shorter body ram into his own throwing him to the floor and out of the way of the speeding bullet. Under any other circumstance, Barry would have kissed his boyfriend on the lips and sent a great deal "thank you for saving my life" gestures. But this was different. He wasn't Barry right now. He was the Flash. And his upon impact, somewhere along the way he found his mask had fallen back and his face was no longer hidden. Joe, who was the only other person in the room, was cuffing the gunman when he heard Eddie's gasp. Barry began to vibrate his face, trying to conceal his identity but Eddie had seen. You could tell by the betrayed look on his face that there was no question about whether he'd seen him or not.
"Stop!" Eddie ordered. And Barry did. "You're the flash…" Eddie mumbled.
"Eddie... I'm sorry…" Barry managed to get out as his mouth dried up, guilt making his stomach clench.
Eddie stood up and swiped imaginary dust off his suit, "You're sorry." Eddie scoffed, tears glistening his eyes as he looked down at the floor before he looked back at Barry. "Sorry that you didn't tell me? Sorry that you've been lying to me for the past eight months of our relationship? Or sorry that you got caught lying to me?"
Barry's mouth couldn't form words; he just looked down in shame. Eddie shook his head,
"That's what I thought."
"Eddie I-"
"No. I just… I just need some time." Eddie held his hand up to stop Barry's words. "Just… I'll call you, maybe… Just… Just don't call me. I need time Barry… Or Flash or… whoever you are."
"Eddie please-"
"I- I- Time." Eddie sighed. "I need time."
Barry nodded slowly, turning to run away but Eddie stopped him,
"Did you think I would break up with you? Is that why you didn't tell me? Was it because you didn't want me to know? Or did you just enjoy lying to me? Actually… Never mind. Just go. Actually, I'll go." Eddie turned away, going to leave the scene to the nightshift CSIs.
"Please don't leave…" Barry croaked, his throat burning as tears threatened to spill. "I love you. I thought you loved me too."
"I love Barry Allen. The cute CSI who trips a lot, and eats ten times what he probably should and never gains weight, and sleeps in only one sock (a/n: I made that up lol). I love my Barry Allen…" Eddie looked hurt. "I don't know who you are."
A/N: PART TWO?
