It had been a few days since that night. Barry was still feeling the same, but he told everyone he was fine. Though he had started seeing a therapist. One that Doctor Edwards helped him find, like Joe said she would.

Oliver, John and Felicity were leaving. He took the morning off work to say goodbye to them all. Barry pulled out of Felicity's arms. To see Caitlin waiting to say goodbye too. Barry walked over to Oliver, while John was busy talking to Joe and Wells.

"It's gonna be weird not having you just show up at my lab," Barry said causing Oliver to smile.

"It's gonna be weird not seeing you everyday."

Barry turned to him, holding his arms in front of him slightly, telling Oliver he wanted a hug. Barry expected him to fight it, say he didn't want a hug. But he didn't, he pulled Barry into his arms. Giving him a quick hug.

Oliver took Barry's arm and led him out the room into the hall.

"Call me if you need to talk, or just run over your pretty good at that. If I'm out as arrow just sit with Felicity until I'm back, I'll always make time to talk if you need it."

"Thank you," he said giving him a smile. "I'll try."

"You might be fooling them but your not fooling me. I know your still not okay, I know it's gonna take a while before you are but you gotta let people in. They wanna help."

"I'm not good at that part, I am trying."

Oliver smiled, Barry saw the sadness in it. The sadness in his eyes. He could tell he was worried.

"And call that guy," he said with a more happier smile.

"Yeah I will," Barry smiled back before the two walked back in the room.


Barry went back to work after, which was pretty uneventful. He was on a new case, which he helped close, he helped run a few tests for other cases.

Then went to star labs. Where Wells wanted him to train again. He seemed more interested in him getting faster recently, which Barry didn't mind, he also wanted to go faster.

There wasn't much happening so Barry sat on the step outside the pipeline. He decided to call James, the man from big belly burger who gave him his number. He answered pretty quickly.

"Who's this?"

"Hi, I'm Barry. You gave me your number earlier this week," Barry said, slightly awkwardly, he had no idea what he was doing.

"Oh hey, I was wondering if you were ever gonna call," he laughed slightly.

"Yeah, me too. So..do you maybe..want to go out sometime?"

"Yeah." Barry could hear the smile in his voice. "I'm not working tonight, maybe we could go see a movie."

"That sound like a good idea," Barry said with a smile.

"You want to meet outside big belly burger in about eleven? We can talk to the theatre together."

"Yeah. See you then?"

"See you then."

Barry hung up, he was still smiling. Though it soon faded when he realised he had never been on a date before. He flashed into the cortex, where he knew Cisco was. The papers on his desk flying around the room like usual.

"Dude, what have I said about that?"

"Sorry. But I've got an emergency."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I've got a date in like an hour. I've never been on a date before."

"And your asking Cisco for advise?" Caitlin joked as she walked into the room.

"That's cold."

Barry just laughed, "I'll ask Iris then."

"Your both bad friends," Cisco joked.

"Where are you bring her? What's she like?" Caitlin asked as she sat down next to Cisco.

"Uhh," Barry panicked looking at Cisco. Who obviously didn't know that Caitlin didn't know. "We're going to see a movie. And we've never really spoke before. I got given..their number."

"Well if you've never had a conversation, just be yourself, maybe not the flash version of you but I'm sure she'll love you," she said with a smile.

"Yeah. Thanks. I'm..gonna go get ready."

"Good luck," Cisco said as the alarm started going off. "Wait."

Barry walked around to see the monitors. "What's going on?"

"Snart. He's in the same place as last time, like he's trying to get your attention again."

"I'll go see him on my way home," Barry said before flashing out the room.

Barry stopped at the warehouse again, though he left his suit as star labs so he walked in. Just incase he wasn't alone. Which Barry soon found out he was.

"What's going on Snart?"

"Just wanted to see you again," he said as he walked closer. "We didn't really leave things on the best note."

"We didn't really."

"I do like you Barry, I just don't know how to show you."

"I really like you too. But I..I don't know how I can be with you. I'm supposed to lock the bad guys up. Not date them. I'll be just as bad as the people I lock up."

"I've told you before Barry. I see the bad in you just like you see the good in me."

"I don't know how I can do this, Len. I..I really like you. But if anyone finds out..we...it just won't end well."

Barry sat down on the old couch that was lying against the wall, it looked like Leonard had been using it as a bed. Snart quickly sat down next to him.

"We don't have to. We can go our different ways. You can even take me in. I'm not going to ask you to do anything you don't want."

"I so want..to just run away with you. Start all over again somewhere new."

"That would be nice," Snart said, giving Barry a genuine smile. "But I can't ask you to give up your life for me Barry."

"I would though. I don't know why."

Snart pulled Barry's face towards his own, pressing his lips against Barry's. The kiss soon grew more and more intense. Barry felt Leonard's hands under his shirt as he began to pull it up and off over his head.

He pulled Barry on top of him as he lay down, Barry sat straddling his legs he took Leonard's shirt off as Leonard began on Barry's pants.

"Is this okay?" Leonard asked, stopping himself as he touched his boxers waistband.

"Yeah," Barry said as he helped pull them down over his ankles and threw them onto the floor.

Barry pushed himself up a little as Leonard began taking his own off before throwing them on the ground like Barry did to his own.

"Are you okay with this?" Barry asked this time.

"Of course," he said smiling slightly causing Barry to smile back.


Barry uncomfortably sat up from lying on Leonard's chest and put his feet on the floor as he began getting his clothes.

"I should probably go. Told Cisco I'd only be here for five minutes."

"Been a little longer than that," he said giving Barry a smile as he pulled his underwear back on. "Maybe your place next time."

Barry looked at him. Surprised that he wanted that, that he'd offered. "Yeah this couch is a little small for the two of us."

Leonard smiled back as Barry finished tying his shoes. He stood up and pulled his sweater over his head before looking at Snart who was still sitting on the couch.

"See you soon," Barry said as he lent down, pressing his lips to Snart's before standing straight again.

"Definitely."

Barry walked out the room quietly, out the doors. He pulled out his phone as he started walking down the street.

"Hey James I'm really sorry somethings come up, my sister needs me."

"Oh yeah that's fine I hope she's okay."

Barry could hear the disappointment in his voice. It made Barry feel bad.

"Thanks, maybe another time."

"Yeah for sure."

Barry said goodbye before hanging up and putting his phone back in his jeans pocket. He looked around to make sure no one was close before running.

He slowed down before walking into the cortex. He wasn't sure why he went there instead of home but decided to see if there was anything for the flash to do.

"Should you be on your date?" Caitlin asked, Wells was now in the room.

"Oh I cancelled it. Got too nervous," he said with a small smile, Wells was looking him over which was something he seemed to do a lot.

"Oh, what did you do after you saw Snart then?" She asked, looking between him, Wells and Cisco.

"Just went for a walk. Why?"

"Your fly is down," Wells told him causing Cisco to snort.

"Wha," Barry said as he looked down, he panicked when he saw that Wells was right he quickly pulled the zip up. "I..went to the bathroom."

"Sure you did Barry," Caitlin said with a smile as she walked out the room Wells following after while calling her name.

"So..you had a good time with Snart then?" Cisco asked while smiling.

"Oh god, can we not talk about that."

"I thought you liked him. Wells owes me twenty bucks."

"You bet on me liking Snart?"

"No?"

"Really man? Not cool."

"I'll give you half," he said with a smile.

"Alright," Barry said giving him a smile back. "So the city still quiet?"
