The Flash Short stories

4. Anger.

Barry let out a shakey breath, Iris had just been done shouting at him. For maybe the 5th time that month, since she believed that he was the problem about her haveing screaming fits with Eddie.

Eddie believes Barry likes Iris, and Iris denies it, this means they argue. Alot. Even out in public! And, Iris has started to take blane onto Barry and starts haveing arguements with him, although those arguments are pretty much one sided.

Considering Barry never fought back. Sure, he doesn't really like Iris that way, more like a Sister but that makes it hurt even more. Plus, he likes somebody else.

Barry was walking into the lab at Star labs, after Iris was finished with him at Jitters, but this one was diffrent.

This time, she-she slapped him. . . Barry is still in shock.

"Hello?" Barry turned around, seeing Caitlin and Felicity at the desk, on the computers.

"Oh, hey guys." Barry muttered, before moving to sit at a desk on the opposite side of the room, just sitting there.

The two girls shared a look. He hadn't even bothered to ask why Felicity was there, or even say hello?

"Yoo! Arrow in the house!" Cisco came in, shouting causing Barry to flinch, but he didn't turn around, they would guess something was wrong immediatly, considering his cheek was proberly red, and so were his eyes.

Oliver gave a small smile at them, before looking at Barry, the smile going.

"Barry?" Oliver questioned.

"He hasn't moved since he got in 10 minutes ago." Caitlin whispered to them, there eyes following Barry when he turned his head slightly to look at his suit.

"Hey, Bear." Oliver walked on over, and sat down onto the table beside Barry, who wouldn't look at him.

"Are you okay?" Felicity spkoe up, her, Caitlin and Cisco walking over.

"Yeah." Barry muttered after a few minutes in silence, turning to look back in his lap at his hands what he was fiddling with.

"You sure? You said you went to meat with Iris at Jitters? Was-Did everything go okay?" Cisco asked, and Barry slowly nodded.

"Hey, what's that?" Oliver asked.

"What?" Caitlin questioned, but Oliver had placed a finger under Barry's chin to turn his head to look at him. Barry looked straight up at him, and most of them gasped.

"Barry, you're face is all red." Felicity exclaimed, and Barry only sighed and stood up.

"Did-Did Iris slapped you?" Cisco asked, but he hesiatated.

"What? No. Course. . ." Barry couldn't even keep it up. He sat back down, while glancing at his reflection, seeing his left cheek was completely red.

"Why-Why?" Felicity stuttered.

"Yeah, thought you two were friends." Oliver said.

"Her and Eddie have been fighting alot. And, she had to blame someone." Barry muttered, they all looked suprised.

"Why'd she blame you? And, how long has this been going on for?" Oliver beat Caitlin at asking the questions.

"I guess it's because Eddie thinks I like her, and that she likes me. And, it's been going on. . . a month, maybe? But, she's-she never hit me before." Barry muttered, he felt his eyes burning, and he looked down at feeling the tear excape and roll down his cheek.

"You-do you though?" Cisco asked.

"No." Barry muttered, "But, she thinks I do like her. That's not the case though! I never have liked her!"

"Hey, Barry. Calm down. We believe you!" Felicity said, when they heard the beeping on the moniters go of, Cisco racing over to them.

"Looks like somebodys comeing up." Cisco muttered, looking over to the others, and turned around to face the door, where Iris showed.

"Hey, Iris!" Felicity said, but she looked furious, and was only walking straight towards Barry who only stood up from where he was sat.

"A word, Barry?" Iris asked, but didn't give him time to answer, when she grabbed his wrist and dragged him into the seperate room where the tread mill was, the other looking through the window, "You bitch!"

Barry flinched slightly, and stepped back, running his hand through his hair.

"Iris, I told you already, I don't--!" Barry got cut of, when Iris shoved him backwards, Barry wasn't prepared and tripped over the treadmill, sitting down he looked upto Iris.

Felicity, Catlin, Oliver and Cisco was all watching through the glass, and was shocked at seeing Iris screaming and pushing Barry about, but he didn't do anything.

"Why isn't he doing anything?" Cisco asked.

"He doesn't wanna hurt her." Oliver muttered, but sighed angerly to himself.

"Only if she could see that Barry doesn't like her." Caitlin said, before all eyes turned to Oliver.

"What?" Oliver asked, before the realisation came in, "No. We do not like each other."

"Come on, Oliver! We see the way you look at Barry when he isn't looking, the same goes for him. You might even save him from getting another slap!" Felicity said, before giving the puppy dog eyes.

"She has a point, Dude." Cisco said, before Oliver sighed.

"Can't believe I'm doing this." Oliver muttered to himself, before walking into the room.

"You mind? I'm trying to have a conversation with Barry." Iris snarled, and Oliver helped Barry back upto his feet, standing inches away from him while faceing Iris.

"This isn't the way you treat somebody." Oliver stated, "So, I would very much appreciate you not talking bad to my boyfriend."

Barry turned beat red, and looked at Oliver in shock, so did Iris.

"You-You liar! He's the reason me and Eddie are fighting!" Iris screamed.

"Oh, so you want visular proof?" Oliver asked, with a raised eyebrow. Iris only crossed her arms over the chest, so Oliver turned to Barry and kissed him.

Barry was in shock, but he slowly kissed back, before Oliver pulled away, also blushing, Iris was in complete and utter shock.

"See?" Oliver questioned, "Now, why don't you run along."

Iris walked out of the room, not even looking at the other 3.

Barry turned to look at Oliver, and Oliver looked at him.

"T-Thank you." Barry muttered, fiddling with his sleeves and Oliver gave a soft smile.

"No problem. How about we go grab a drink?" Oliver asked, and before he knew it the two of them had left to go to the bar.
