When Barry

Met Sara

Part 3

Disclaimer: Oh yeah, its time to continue this one!

Summary: Oliver Queen has a case of jealousy issues where Barry's concerned.

For roughly ten minutes now, Barry had been seated in a very comfortable chair in the living room of the Queen Mansion. Watching a scowling Oliver 'Ollie' Queen pace back and forth and wondering when he was finally going to talk after having asked him to come over there that evening. "So, uhh… You gonna keep pacing? Cause I kinda have some homework I need to start on."

That seemed to get the other kid to stop the pacing and get looked at by him and that scowl of Oliver's only seemed to deepen for that matter too. "What's goin' on between you and Laurel?"

Barry's eyebrows raised at that as he hadn't been expecting that question at all! "Because to me, you two seem to be getting awfully close and I'm not sure how much I like that. Sure, I like you and all, Al, but its Laurel."

So Sara was right on the money after all about him! She's gonna love that!

"Oh, you're jealous 'cause you think something's goin' on between Laurel and I?" Barry asked instead of giving a very simple answer.

If only because he knew Sara would love the Hell out of the whole thing once she heard about it later. That girl is practically Chaos to his Order! Oliver glared at him but Barry didn't so much as flinch as he knew his fellow teen wouldn't actually do anything to him. Not after the build up of friendship in the months since moving to Starling. But then again… Jealousy is a powerful motivator from what he's heard! "Yes." Bit out the Queen Scion through clenched teeth.

"Dude… Something is going on but its not what you think."

"Its not?"

"No. Its not."

"Then what is it!?" Exploded Oliver in annoyance.

Something that actually DID make Barry flinch that time. "Friendship, Ollie. Friend. Ship. Its kinda what happens when you spend time with someone."

And if he sounded a little sarcastic? Well, he didn't think anyone could blame him given how Ollie's acting! Ohh yeah, Sara's definitely gonna be amused once she hears about all this.

"That's it? Friendship? Just that between you two and nothing else?" Asked Oliver unsurely.

"That's right. And I know I'm not supposed to say anything but she's actually really into you, man."

That made Oliver's eyes widen and an eagerness about him began to radiate. "R-Really?"

"Really, really." Replied the former Central City native with a firm nod of the head and to his complete surprise, would end up getting hugged by the other teenager.

"Al, you just made my whole year." He was told happily.

The wide smile on Ollie's face was perhaps the biggest one Barry had ever seen from him. Crap… Laurel's gonna be mad.

But at least now maybe something would finally happen between two of his friends! "I've got a certain Lance to go talk too."

"Go get her, man."

Oliver quickly made his leave to do just that with that smile still in place. Crap, forget Laurel, her DAD is the one who's REALLY gonna be mad.

"Well, I must say, you handled that quite well, young man." Came a female voice that startled Barry and made him jump before looking to the source.

And seeing a smiling Mrs. Queen by the doorway of the living room. "Uhh… Thanks?"

"You're quite welcome, sweetheart."

Its about damn time my son and Laurel finally became more! Moira thought to herself happily.

Naturally, Sara was definitely amused as Hell when Barry called her up to tell her everything after he got home.
