Let Me Be The One - The Flash (Barry Allen/ Grant Gustin Fan Fiction)

Chapter 8: The Surprise Visit

Barry's POV

"Barry, you've been sleeping for a while now. Should I just leave you or..."

"I'm up Joe, relax", I groaned into my pillow while patting (what I assumed was) Joe's hand. "Uhm Bar, could you stop caressing my leg?" Joe questioned with a worried tone. My eyes widened as I realized what I've been doing and jumped up from my duvet. "Look Barry, Captain Singh wants to see you in his office in a few minutes". I looked at Joe with curiosity as I ran my fingers through my soft, brown hair. "Nothing bad, just something to do with the impersonating meta-human ", Joe stated while shrugging it off. "Okay, give me a few seconds, I'll be down soon", I said, giving a sly smile. "You know, if an ordinary man said that, I would just scoff at him but with you....I still don't understand how!", Joe exclaimed with a furrowed brow. I laughed at Joe's frustration and put my hand on his shoulder. "Tick tock Barry, get moving. I know you're fast but don't push it", Joe warned. I smirked at him and left him fascinated as I hurried to Singh's office.

"Allen, get in here!" Singh bellowed from his oak door frame. I got up from my chair and slowly strolled into his office. I then closed the door and took a seat opposite him. "Allen, I just wanted to ask your thoughts on the whole controversy regarding the people being framed for a crime they haven't committed", Singh said concerned as he took a seat at his desk. "Would you be so kind as to have some proof available for me tonight. I need to go through some files and the information is required". I looked at the desperate man in front of me, thought for a second and shook my head much to Singh's dismay. "Sorry Captain, I have a date tonight", I stated while shoving my hands into my pocket. "But of course, my apologies Allen! Enjoy it! And who might the lucky lady be?" i smirk at him and answered, "Lets just say that the person coming on the date with me is unaware at this moment". And with that being said, I left the building and made my way to Central City University. I'm just in time for the final act, I thought...

Juliet's POV

Roy was acting rather strange today. Ever since he received that mysterious message, he had been ogling the clock on the wall and staring outside the window. I have shot him a few glances but he just ignored me and carried on eye-raping the clock. Just as the clock struck 1, I heard a loud crash coming from the corridor. I gave out the slightest shriek and turned to face Roy....but he wasn't there...I grew seriously worried and got up from my desk to find out his whereabouts. Relief washed over me as I saw the door open and Roy enter the class. I then took my seat again and continued writing the notes on the board. But my curiosity grew when I saw a microphone in Roy's hand. Roy then whispered something to the teacher and after receiving a nod of approval, he plugged the microphone's cord into the wall socket and tapped it to ensure it was on.

"Good day fellow colleagues, I would like to take the opportunity to welcome everyone to the peek show!", Roy announced with a grin on his face. I smiled at his random announcement and shook my head. But my smile faded as I heard him mention my name...."And for Mademoiselle Ramon over there, enjoy this", he said while glancing at me and giving me one of his favourite smirks. I gulped and watched as all eyes fell on me. I packed my book in my bag to get rid of all the stares but froze when I heard another voice boom from the speakers. "I would like to thank all of you for being so kind and allowing me to take up some of your teaching time", the voice announced much to people's approval. "Now, can everyone please bear with me and don't judge what you're about to see. This is for my drama queen, Juliet Ramon", the voice said and everyone burst out in cheers, while whistling and giving him a round of applause. My face automatically went a deep shade of red and I locked eyes with the man holding the mic. He was wearing a grey coat with black skinny jeans and black Levi's. 'Barry. Allen. What. Are. You. Up. To.' I thought as I watched him smile at me and give me the slightest wink. I narrowed my eyes at him but clearly this motivated him as he removed his coat to reveal a very familiar shirt hugging his fit figure. "Sorry guys for the view", he began, pointing at the shirt he was wearing. OH HELL TO THE NO! He was wearing MY shirt. MINE! "Let's just say I saw it on someone and fell in love with it immediately", Barry added with the slightest blush on his beautiful face. I stared at him in utter shock with my mouth wide open. And then my nightmare began...Barry lifted the mic to his mouth and pointed at me with his long finger. "This is for you Juliet, I hope you enjoy it", he said with an enormous grin. I face palmed his dedication speech as I felt my face heat up. "Don't cover your face, everyone needs to see your face. Then maybe you'll realize the intensity of your beauty!" Barry blurted out before looking down at his shoes while everyone awwwww-ed at his random confession. I looked down for a second and when I fixated my eyes on Barry, he nodded and positioned himself on the teacher's desk. It was only then that I noticed Roy (next to Barry) staring at me with a cryptic facial expression plastered on his face. He then double-tapped his phone's screen and a familiar song filled the room. I gave him a friendly smile but it vanished when he rolled his eyes at me and turned to face Barry. Why was Roy acting so weird? But I forgot about his behavior instantaneously as Barry voice boomed through the speakers,

"Late night, watching television. But how'd we get in this position?

It's way too soon, I know this isn't love. But I need to tell you something...

I really, really, really, really, really, really like you. And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?"

I cringed at his song choice and bit my lip. How could he choose Carly Rae Jepsen at a time like this? Barry noticed this and immediately stopped singing. "Sorry guys, change of song", he apologized before holding 3 fingers up and showing it to Roy. Roy nodded obediently and changed to another song. And then his beautiful, angelic voice resonated throughout the room.

"Girl, you're the one, I want to want me.

And if you want me, girl you got me.

There's nothing I know I wouldn't do, I wouldn't do. Just to get up next to you"

And he thought Jason Derulo was better?! I blushed as all the guys thought of the sexual innuendo behind the song and began wolf whistling. Barry then began smiling and accepting cheers while putting the mic on the teacher's desk. As glanced around the class, I caught a glimpse of Roy and his figure leaving the room. Strange, I thought.

And then Barry walked up to my desk with his hands behind his back, crouched lower (so that we could see eye-to-eye) and leaned on my desk for support. "You know, I just sang in front of all these strangers and embarrassed myself completely. The least you can do is show me some appreciation", Barry muttered, slightly out of breath. I stifled a giggle as I went 50 shades of red. "Barry, thank you for that lovely performance", I admitted while grabbing my bag and standing up, ready to leave. "Really, that's it? You're going to leave me all alone?" Barry moaned while following me. I turned around quickly and met his chest. "Well then Allen, turns out I don't feel the same", I said with what seemed like a confident voice. As if! I was shaking like a leaf on the inside! "How can you just go? I mean, I have a boner, for crying out loud", Barry whispered hopelessly while searching my soul for sympathy. My eyes widened as he said it and I immediately scanned the room to ensure that no one heard his confession. Luckily not, I thought as I let out a sigh of relief. "I need to go, bye", I babbled before heading for the door, leaving Barry behind.

As I jogged in the corridor, I heard footsteps growing louder. I stopped jogging and turned around slowly. "There is no way I'm just going to accept your silly behaviour", Barry said softly while scanning my face for any indication of doubt. I couldn't look him in the eyes so I stared at the floor. Ah yes, this lovely grey, astute floor. "Stop staring at the floor, you look demented!", Barry shrieked with a look of disgust on his face. I burst out laughing at his remark as I locked gaze with him. "Perfect", he whispered before lifting me up by my waist and staring at me. We stared at each other for a while before I whispered, "Stop staring at me, you look demented." This made Barry laugh but he ended his laughter by crashing his lips against mine. Our mouths moved in sync as we stood there, time frozen around us. Barry then bit my bottom lip causing me to gasp at his feistiness. Oh my, what happened to my shy boy? Barry then deepened the kiss and put his tongue in my mouth. Unfortunately, I felt something harden against my leg and pulled away quickly with a playful look on my face. "I'm assuming we're not going to solve my, uhm, problem, are we?", Barry asked with the slightest hope. "Nope!" I said and felt a genuine smile creep onto my face as I watched Barry pout. Such a cutie, I thought.

"No no, you can't go just yet, come here", Barry said holding his hand out. I looked up at the beautiful, tall man in front of me and watched as his eyes gleamed with pride as I placed my hand on his and intertwined our fingers. He gave me a smirk and kissed the back of my hand. "I could get used to this, Julie", he said with his eyes not leaving mine. "I know. Me too", I answered, while walking towards the deserted parking lot. This was the life, Barry and I...
