It had been a month since Barry last saw Leonard. He was doing everything possible to stay away from him, and also to not think about him.
Caitlin and Cisco were worried about Barry training more often than usual. Joe and Iris were also worried because Barry wasn't himself. He moped around the house and was keeping himself busy at work.
Barry was at S.T.A.R Labs running on the treadmill that was designed for him. He was running super fast on it. Suddenly the device began to slow down. "What the hell." Barry looked over at the control room and saw Iris.
Iris pushed a button that was the intercom. "I need to talk to you." Barry nodded.
Iris walked into the room handing Barry two protein bars and a chocolate shake. "Cisco says you've been burning more calories than usual."
Barry took a sip of the shake. "Been busy with work and trying to find Song Siren.
"And avoiding Leonard Snart at all cost."
"I don't want to talk about him." Barry went and sat on the treadmill starting to eat one of the protein bars.
Iris sat by him. "Well, we need to."
"Why? he's still following our agreement. He's stopped killing people."
"Yes. But he's getting away with more theft than usual. People are starting to think The Flash is going soft on him."
"But I'm not. I just don't want to deal with him right now. I can't do it."
"Barry I don't know what happened between you guys, but you need to start trying to stop his robberies. Your reputation is on the line."
"How?" Barry asked worriedly.
"My paper is ready to write an expose on how you, The Flash don't care about what Captain Cold does in Central City. Since I'm the one that writes The Flash piece for the paper, my editor wants me to write it."
"So what are you going to do?"
"Barry I don't want to, but if I saw no. Someone else will and they will tear you apart."
"Maybe it's time to drop me off the pedestal that the city has me on."
"Barry!"
"Iris I don't care anymore . Let your paper do want ever they want," Barry flashed out of the room.
"Damn it!" Iris bent down and put her hands on her face.
"I'm guessing our plan didn't work with Mr. Allen?"
Iris looked up and saw Earth 2, Harrison Wells. "Nope. If the article had been real, Barry wouldn't care it ran. Leonard really broke his heart."
"You know Allen is gay," Wells said shocked.
"It doesn't take a scientist to figure it out. I knew barry had a crush on me, and I know when I was with Eddie, he crushed on him too," Iris laughed.
"I think life would be easier for Barry if he came out."
"I agree, but Barry probably is worried how people will react or treat him. Dad and I have talked it over and will still love Barry for who he is."
"Have you told the detective that Barry might have been romantically involved with Leonard Snart."
"Are you crazy? My father will be fine with Barry's sexuality, but I don't think he'll like that his partner being a criminal."
"While we're waiting for Allen to feel comfortable coming out to us. We need to deal with the problem at hand."
"Getting Barry to see Cold again. Well, plan A didn't work."
Harrison smerked, "Time for plan B than Miss West. I'll let Ramon know it's time to make that phone call."
Two days later, Leonard, his sister, and Mick were doing a job at a warehouse.
Leonard was putting stuff in a duffle bag that he'd fence later. He loved that the plan was coming together with no problems. He also hated how the heist was too easy.
Leonard hadn't seen Barry in a month. He wouldn't admit it to anyone, but he missed seeing him. He missed seeing Barry in his suit and also out of it.
Leonard never had a hard time breaking someone's heart, but with Barry it had been difficult. He never forgot the look on the kid's face when he said those terrible things to him. He also hadn't forgotten their night of passion.
With others, it been fast and rough, but with Barry was sweet and slow. It was a night Leonard could not forget, even if he tried.
In Leonard's mind, he believed there was no way to be in a relationship with another person. He was the bad guy, who was also broken, and he didn't want anyone to try to change or fix him. He didn't want to be felt sorry for, or someone try to heal him. Barry might not do those things, but Leonard was to scared to find out if Barry's feelings for him were genuine.
Lisa rushed into the area in a panic. "Big brother we got to go. Now!"
"What's wrong?"
"He's here," She said with a worried look on her face.
"The Flash?" Leonard wondered why his sister was scared out of her mind. To her, Barry was a puppy.
"No...It's the..."
Out of nowhere an arrow hit the wall very close to Leonard's head.
"Leonard Snart, you have failed this city."
Sorry for this being late. I've been very busy with work. I hope you liked the ending someone gave me the idea for a certian hero to make a cameo ;)
