Thank you so much for the lovely reviews about last chapter, and I promise Im working on getting the Arrow crew over to Central. I just need a good reason they would be going in there in the first place and Im set for next chapter :) Dont forget to leave a review and enjoy.

"Karaoke!" Cisco chanted as him, Caitlin, Barry, and Hunter walked to the bar.

"Well he seems excited." Hunter said laughing.

"Oh trust me, get him talking about The Walking Dead and this is nothing." Caitlin said rolling her eyes. "Barry, why are you so quiet? You're good at karaoke. Your voice is amazing."

"Just because I'm good at it doesn't mean I like it." Barry muttered "and how do you know I'm good?"

"We did some singing once. I got drunk and forced you to sing with me. You never told me you could sing before that, so I was surprised."

Barry swore under his breath. "You remember that?"

"Only thing I do remember from that night."

"Bloody brilliant."

"Why so grumpy? You love singing." Hunter asked as they entered the bar.

"Why do you think?"

"Oh come on, just because you sang as Sebastian doesn't mean Barry shouldn't. They already know you're good, so why keep it?" Hunter said keeping him in the doorway while Cisco and Caitlin picked a table. "Barry you can't suppress half your personality just because you feel guilty about a couple of things you did as Sebastian."

"How-"

"Because I know you, thats how. You feel guilty about Blaine even though it was an accident. It wasn't your fault Barry. You were being blackmailed by Thad. No one but the New Directions blamed you for any of it, and guess what? They don't know you or the whole story so they had no right to judge you anyways." Hunter said cupping his face. "Now Barry Henry Allen, you listen to me and you listen good. If you want to do something then you do it. Don't let Joe or Iris or your past, or anything stop you from doing the things you like. If you want to sing, sing. If you want to dance, then dance. If you want to be out, then do it. Despite what people will think. It's not too late to stop pretending."

Barry started crying and headed out the door of the bar. "Hunt...I don't even think I can filter all the thoughts in my head to figure out which are truly mine. I've been pretending to be a hero around the team, a son around Joe. I don't think I could do it."

"Why not?"

"Because I'm scared to" Barry admitted quietly. "I'm scared to take down my walls and show them. What if they don't like who I really am? What if they don't like that I'm into guys? What if they don't like us being together?" He said holding Hunter's hand.

"Well then screw them!" Hunter shouted. "You deserve friends that like you for you, no matter what. If they don't, then they're not your friends Barry. You guys have been through so much together. If they can't handle us sucking each other's faces every once in a while, and maybe a few sex references here there, then..."

"Hunter!" Barry said blushing.

"You'll be just fine Barry. And I'm here for you if you need it." Hunter said smiling at him. "Now let's go have some fun."

"I dare you to go up there!" Cisco said after a few drinks. "Barry, I double dog dare you!"

"Double dog dare. What are we Sandlot?"

"Just do it!" Cisco said taking another shot.

"I'll go up with you." Hunter said grinning. He was (not so) secretly enjoying this.

"What? No, don't make this worse!"

"C'mon you" Hunter picked Barry up by the waist and carrying him up to the stage.

"I hate you" Barry said straightening his shirt out.

"Love you too Bear." Hunter said laughing and setting up the two microphones. Barry took hold of it and got caught staring at the crowd of waiting eyes. Everyone was peering at him, making him feel like a bug under a microscope.

"Hey, look at me okay?" Hunter said "just look at me and it'll be okay."

Barry turned to Hunter and calmed down. In fact, it worked so well he got so lost in the intro music so much he almost forgot to sing the first line.

I've just come to realize the fire in your eyes for me

And baby all these little sparks ignite until I just can't breathe

And time and time and time and time and time again

I'm lying in the dark, and wondering where you are

I'm tryna, tryna, tryna find the medicine

Straight into my heart, it's tearing me apart

I'm screaming, "Doctor, doctor"

Bottle it up

I'm a believer, believe me

This love is a drug

I'm dying, I can't get enough

I'm screaming, "Doctor, doctor"

Bottle it up

I haven't slept a couple nights

Been staring at the ceiling again

The side effect I know too well

I'm addicted to the feeling

And time and time and time and time and time again

I'm living in a dream, or somewhere in between

I'm tryna, tryna, tryna find the medicine

It's everything I need, you're the remedy

I'm screaming, "Doctor, doctor"

Bottle it up

I'm a believer, believe me

This love is a drug

I'm dying, I can't get enough

I'm screaming, "Doctor, doctor"

Bottle it up

Doctor, doctor, bottle it up

I'm a believer, believe me,

This love is a drug

I'm dying, I can't get enough

Doctor, doctor

I'm screaming, "Doctor, doctor"

Bottle it up

I'm a believer, believe me

This love is a drug

I'm dying, I can't get enoug

"Wow" Caitlin said when they sat down. "That was amazing. I like that song. I've never heard of it though, what's it from?"

Hunter and Barry looked at each other knowingly.

"A friend wrote it." Barry said with a smile.

"Guys" Hunter said with a laugh "I think we finally found an alcohol that works on Barry!"

"No way" Caitlin said shaking her head. "His metabolism works too quickly. I even tried modifying it scientifically. It lasted only 2 seconds then he was through it."

"Well, those bar tenders did something right." He said smiling at Barry getting increasingly more confident, sarcastic, and sexual the more they stayed and drank. No one else seemed to notice the sexual part other than Hunter as everything he did was under the table or when they were singing.

"Come on Hunt, one more song before we leave?" Barry begged. Caitlin and Cisco had left an hour before them and Barry had thrown his caution out with them. He was now sitting on the blonde's lap, making sure to "accidentally" rub his groin to Hunter's every once in a while. "We haven't done one Fall Out Boy song the whole day."

"Barry, we've done two." Hunter chuckled. "Come on, let's get you home before you drive me crazy or we run out of artists."

Hunter picked Barry up, and since he only had one beer the whole night and had been drinking water ever since then, he drove home on the bike without a problem. If was drunk on anything when they got to his apartment, it was Barry's teasing. Every red light (and there were quite a few) he would make his hands go lower on his waist and grind on him from behind.

"So much for not driving you crazy" Barry said as Hunter pinned him to his bed.

"You're just as bad as you were in High School." Hunter grumbled as he stripped Barry out of his pants.

"Oh, trust me captain..." He slipped out of his black underwear at a painfully slow rate. "I'm much worse."

Cisco was tampering around with Hunter's motorcycle when they both came into the CCPD the next day.

"Hey guys" Cisco said waving at them like this was an everyday thing.

"Um...hi" Hunter said looking between the Latino, his bike, and Barry.

"Cisco, not that I don't love that you're here, but why're you here? And how'd you get that thing up all those stairs?"

"I have my ways." Cisco said with a wild grin.

"Pretty loud way" Joe muttered shutting the lab door behind the two. Barry turned to Joe a little worried. Joe only shut the door when he was talking about the Flash or something similarly serious.

"What's going on?" Barry said looking between the two.

"I-I mean Caitlin and me, found a way for Hunter to help you with your awesome superhero-ness. I figured since nothing's been going on lately but lame and stupid robberies, he can learn to deal with those pretty quick." Cisco said still cranking away at his motorcycle.

"You think I need help?" Barry asked arching an eyebrow at them.

"No, Barry it's not that. You're great at being a superhero. We just figured since Singh has kept you so busy you would appreciate staying here and working while Hunter pretends to do a coffee run or whatever to take care of the stu-minor stuff." Joe said putting a hand on his foster son's shoulder.

"What if I like the minor stuff?" Barry said still being defensive. "Did you even bother to ask if Hunter wanted to do this?"

"Bear" Hunter led Barry out of the room. "What is going on? Why are you so defensive about this?"

"Hunt, why are they doing this? Being this city's hero is my thing, I don't need any help."

"Barry, you sound like a child." Hunter wrapped his arms around him. "You hardly ever think like a child. You're making excuses. What's the real reason, come on, you can tell me."

"I don't want you hurt." Barry whispered putting his face against his shirt. "I have speed healing. I can walk away from the worst and be good in a few hours. You can't, I could lose you easier. I've lost enough people that I love. I'm not going to add you to that list Hunt."

"You-you love me?" Hunter said smirking to hide a blush.

"Of course I do you doofus!" Barry said jokingly hitting his head.

"I-I love you too Bear." Hunter said smiling and kissing him. "But, this is my choice, okay? I'm a solider Barry, getting hurt or worse is a risk I already made pretty clear I was willing to take when I took that oath. If helping and saving people means helping you, then I'll do it. Besides, if we're really going to do this," he held both his hands and pressed Barry's forehead to his. "Then you need to trust me. What better way to do that then on the field fighting alongside you?"

Barry was speechless. His mouth opened and closed a few times before cupping Hunter's face and pressing their lips together.

"Just promise me you'll be careful. No going all out and being that movie hero I know you'll be and getting yourself stabbed or killed you hear me? That's my job, you know, the guy who can be healed in like, a day."

"Alright, I promise to keep low and be your little snipper. I'll leave the heroics to you." He saluted to Barry with a bit of a mocking smile. "I won't snuffle out your glory."

"That's not what I'm worried about. I could care less about glory-"

"I know, I'm just teasing." Hunter smiled "but don't you want a little bit of a reward?"

"Like what?"

"I don't know maybe like a day?"

"Flash day? That the stupidest thing I've ever heard." Barry snickered "what would I do, give a speech?"

"I thought you liked giving speeches?"

"No, I hate being out in front of crowds unless I'm singing. You know that better than anyone."

"I remember, you puked before giving your valedictorian speech."

"Don't remind me please." Barry said making a face. "But I did like waving the banner in Flint's face."

"He could get really mad for a little guy." Hunter said laughing. "I'll make you a deal. I'll help you out with the next few so called 'stupid robberies.' If you still don't like me helping after that, or if I don't like it, we'll talk about it more. Sound good?"

"You always have to be the man with the plan, don't you?" Barry said smiling "alright, I'll try it."

Hunter chuckled and pulled him close "As long as I stay your man with the plan."

Barry chuckled and wrapped his arms around Hunter's neck and kissed him sweetly one more time.

"Well, that was adorable."

Barry and Hunter spun around to see captain Singh standing at the base of the stairs.

"No please, don't stop making out instead of doing what you're being paid to do on my account." He said sipping a cup of some drink.

"Singh-I can explain" Barry stuttered out.

"Save it Allen, what or who you do in your personal time is none of my business."

There was an awkward silence between the three before Barry blurted out.

"Don't tell Joe!"

That made Singh stop being a brick wall for more than two seconds. He looked Barry up and down a few times. He knew that fearful look better than anyone.

"You haven't come out to him yet."

Barry shook his head "To anyone."

"What is Joe going to do, think you're disgusting?"

"I don't know. Him being okay with his boss and him being okay with me..."

"Say no more." Singh held up his hand. "Like I said, it's none of my business. I have my own man to worry about." He put a folder in Barry's hands and walked away. "And for the record, if this is the reason you've been showing up on time and working like you have, then Clarington-to me-you're a saint."

The couple stood speechless as David Singh walked back to his office.

"Thank you" Barry whispered trying not to get emotional.

"And you said he was an a-hole."

"You're going to need a name, oh, and a uniform too." Cisco said later that day at S.T.A.R. Labs.

"He's really having fun with this isn't he?" Hunter said watching the Latino go crazy, running around the room gathering everything he needed for Hunter's bike.

"Let's just hope he doesn't ruin that bike for good. It's not exactly yours." Caitlin said looking over Cisco's designs. "Nothing too flashy, okay? The point is to draw away attention. He's in, Barry gets the criminal, he gets any hostages or people in danger out, he slips away."

"He really is a sniper." Barry muttered.

"Sniper...hey, that's not bad-"

"Don't even think about it!" Caitlin and Hunter snapped at Cisco at the same time.

"Bank robbery on main, they have hostages." Caitlin said over the phone.

"We're up" Barry said smiling.

"You don't think anyone will think I'm your sidekick right?"

"Please, with this body." Barry said wrapping his arms around his core. "I should be worried about being called the sidekick.

"We should go." Hunter said smiling. "I don't want to be late my first day."

"And then victory sex after?"

Hunter grinned mischievously. "Then victory sex after."
