When Barry woke up it was to his stomach growling. Even though he wasn't using his speed much while he was here, he was still always hungry. There should be left over pizza in the living room. Barry gets up and stumbles his sleepy body to the living room. Spencer was stretched out on the couch still asleep. The blanket was wrapped around him, his foot sticking out from the bottom and an arm under the pillow. He was cute. Barry grabs the boxes and heads to the kitchen.

He starts a pot of coffee and takes a slice of pizza. It was quiet in the house other than the little soft noises coming from Spencer in the living room. He was really starting to like Spencer. It seemed every day his crush grew more… crushing. He went through this for years with Iris and it never got him anywhere. She had ended up with Eddie and now… Barry looked longingly towards the living room. Spencer was smart and sweet. At times he was even funny and the two had so much in common. Barry didn't even care that he had never explored his sexuality like this before. He wanted to give it a shot.

He decided after the case he would open up about his feelings to Spencer. He had a feeling even if Spencer didn't feel the same he wouldn't humiliate him or even judge him. He suddenly had an urge to talk to his best friend about it. He had no idea how he would react to him being possibly gay or bi… truthfully Barry had no idea what he was anymore. After he checked on Spencer to see if he was still asleep he went outside to make a call. He called Cisco first. Even though he had known Iris for longer, Cisco was his closer friend.

"What up!" Cisco called into the phone Barry grinned "Hey Cisco, miss me yet?" Cisco chuckled over the phone line "Everyday. Any leads on the girls?" Barry rubbed his forehead "Yeah, maybe. That's not what I wanted to talk about… I know it's kind of an inappropriate time, but I… I have this crush." Cisco immediately lit up "About time man! Who is it? I want all the deets!" Barry laughed and blushed a little bit "Promise not to judge me?" Cisco scoffed "Come on dude! We are closer than that. I wouldn't judge you even if your crush was on the chef of police. Well… I mean I'd worry about you a little bit because that guy is a dick, but I guess I could understand that I mean…" Barry cut him off "It's not him, but it is someone I work with."

Cisco was sitting down and he suddenly popped up "No way! Is it that new guy? Dr. Reid?!" Barry blushed even harder "Yeah… He's just so… I don't know. It's hard to explain." He was more focused on how relieved he felt that Cisco wasn't making a big deal out of this. "You should go for it. Tell him! I won't let you get caught up in another crush that leads to no where. I know how long it took you to get over Iris." Barry chuckled "Thank you for being so cool about this… I think I'll talk to him after this case." Cisco pumped his fist in the air even if Barry couldn't see it "Best of luck man! I gotta go, Caitlin is coming in. See ya!" The phone call ends and Barry feels a whole lot better about his crush.

When he came back in Spencer was huddled up on the couch with a cup of coffee "There you are" he says after taking a sip of coffee "Thank you for making coffee." Barry nods and goes into the kitchen to make himself a cup too "How'd you sleep?" Barry asks once he returns to Spencer. He gives a shrug "You?" Barry nods "Pretty good I guess." Spencer sets his mug down "Can I ask you something?" Barry raises his eyebrow at his crush "Sure? Shoot." "Why were you not affected by the beer? You had three and you weren't even buzzed." Barry bit his lip. If he told Spencer what he was then he could wind up pushing him away. If he lied to him and the truth came out then that could push him away too.

"You know I did a lot of reading and research before leaving here and working alongside you. I know about meta-humans, I know about the particle accelerator and I know about the flash." Spencer shifted to face Barry "I also know about your coma for nine months. After spending time with you I'm pretty sure I know who you are… you're the Flash." Barry couldn't help smiling at Spencer's brilliance. "Yeah, I'm the Flash." Spencer grinned "You've done great things." Barry blushed "So have you… and you did it all without super speed." Spencer blushed too. "Don't worry Barry, I'm not going to tell anyone… I know if I had powers I'd want to keep it a secret for as long as I could."

Barry smiled at his crush "Thank you Spencer… that means a lot." He felt a sudden urge to hug Spencer and before he knew it he was acting upon that urge. His arms were wrapped around Spencer loosely and his chin was resting lightly on Spencer's shoulder. Spencer wasn't used to hugs and usually he'd tense up when someone sprung a hug on him like this. Except it wasn't all that bad. He found it easy to relax and return the hug. "You're welcome Barry" Spencer said softly. Barry let go before he slipped up more than he already had. "So last night you said you had an idea." Spencer nodded "Yeah… do you think it was anything worth looking into?" Barry nodded "At this point it doesn't hurt to look into any possible leads."

Barry picks up his coffee cup and takes a sip. He was never a big drinker of coffee, he never liked how it tasted and the effects of the caffeine wore off too quickly to actually do any help. Spencer speaks again "I should get dressed." However he doesn't move. Barry sits his coffee cup down and looks over at Spencer. He looks like he wants to say something, but he remains quiet. Barry starts to ask him what's wrong, but Spencer shocks him into silence by scooting closer and kissing him. It was sweet and ending way too soon. The moment Barry felt Spencer pulling away he pulled him back in. His hand cupped the back of Spencer's head and Barry kissed him as softly and sweetly as he knew how.

Spencer brought up a hand and placed it firmly against Barry's chest. After a few more seconds of kissing Spencer pushed Barry away gently. Barry placed his hand on top of Spencer's hand and looked at Spencer for any signs of regret. Spencer was smiling softly at him "We should get ready and go to the office. We can… discuss this further after the case?" Barry nods and Spencer slips his hand away from Barry and leaves to get dressed. Barry uses his speed to get ready. It was nice to be able to use it now that he didn't have to keep it a secret from Spencer anymore.

Spencer emerges from his room fully dressed with his glasses on. Barry had only ever seen him with his glasses on once before. "I like it when you wear your glasses." Barry said before he really realized that he probably had no right to say things like that. They weren't together… they only kissed once. "Thanks." Spencer said which derailed all of Barry's thoughts. Barry grinned and picked up the two to-go cups. "I made us some coffee to take with us." Spencer half grins at Barry "Uh.. thanks." He steps forward and takes one of the cups "All I did was kiss you once and you're already nicer to me" He grins and takes a sip of his coffee. Barry blushes and gaps at Spencer "Did you just make a joke?"

Spencer laughs and heads to the door. Barry really couldn't wait to close this case, as selfish as that sounded, he really wanted to see where this could go with Spencer. Barry wondered if he could steal one more kiss before they left. As it turned out Spencer was waiting by the door. "For someone who has super speed you're really slow" Spencer said with a grin. Barry bit his lip and in a flash he had Spencer pressed against the wall and was kissing him softly. Spencer didn't mind one bit. In all honesty he'd let Barry steal as many kisses as he wanted.

Once the two departed they headed out to Spencer's car. The moment they got to the office Barry went to find Penelope and Spencer went to go talk to Hotch.
