Anika (atthedarkestblue) prompted a fic which included the sentence: "Hey, have you seen the... Oh."
He's fully prepared to admit that he might have left his Physics textbook in his locker even though he finds that idea farcical - he never leaves anything in his locker - but he has to finish this Physics assignment for tomorrow otherwise Mister Wells will fail him and probably throw him in detention and he absolutely, positively, most definitely, cannot afford to flunk something as fundamentally easy to pass as Physics because he can't remember where he left his damn textbook.
With a huff of frustration, he stalks from his chair to the door, then down the corridor to his brother's room. He'd heard Sebastian get home half an hour ago and he knows Sebastian will have left his Physics assignment to the last minute - like always, even though he'll still get an A - so he'll have his textbook with him. He knocks briefly before reaching for the doorknob, already beginning to speak as he opens the door.
"Hey, have you seen..? Oh."
His eyes widen before he averts them, his cheeks flaming as he ducks his head and glances over his shoulder. It's not the first time he's caught Sebastian in a…particular state of undress but he's not used to seeing their best friend with similarly dishevelled clothing. He hadn't even realised Sebastian and Blaine were a… a thing. When had that happened?
Probably while he was still moping about Caitlin getting together with the star quarterback and Iris hooking up with the tight end when she thought no one was paying attention. The only reason it hadn't been published in the school gossip rag was because Iris was lead editor and would never allow it.
"What do you want, Barry?" Sebastian sighs, tipping Blaine off him with a kiss to his cheek.
"Just- Uh- I can't- My Physics textbook is- Um-" He dares to look back, just briefly, and catches sight of Blaine's shy, embarrassed smile as he buttons his shirt closed and his fingers close around the strip of his bow tie. Blaine's hair is still mussed, his lips still swollen, his eyes still dark. It's…difficult for Barry to remember why he needed to approach Sebastian's room in the first place.
"You need this?" Sebastian slaps it against his bicep and he jumps, hands grasping it automatically even though it takes his brain a few extra seconds to catch up and the blank stare to be erased from his face.
"Y-Yeah… Um- Thanks," he says, gripping it so tightly his knuckles are nearly white. "Uh- H-Hi, Blaine."
Blaine giggles and dips his head in acknowledgement. "Hi, Barry."
Barry can feel the awkwardness of this entire encounter approaching levels of erupting his body into fire - or maybe that's the glare Sebastian is fixing him with. He hopes it's only because he interrupted his brother's makeout session.
"Well, um… Thanks, Seb," he mumbles, waving at Blaine before darting back to his room. Sebastian's door slams shut moments later followed by the quieter click of Barry's door.
He knew he had the Physics assignment still to complete, but even if he'd wanted to he wouldn't have been able to concentrate. His brain was entirely fixated on the thought of Sebastian and Blaine being together just down the corridor.
