Barry's POV
Ross and I have been dating for a few months now. Today, Ross was away, though, telling his family about us, as well as spending time together. Goddamnit, I missed him so much, and he's only been away for a day! I was tempted to call him on several occasions this morning alone, though I didn't allow myself to. He was probably too busy having fun. Or sleeping. It makes me feel even further away from Ross, remembering that he's in a whole different time zone.
It was a rough first day without Ross by my side. This was the first time that we've been this far away from each other since we started dating. It was even kinda hard to sleep without Ross here. When I'd finally closed my eyes, though, my phone started to ring.

Ross's POV
Please pick up, please pick up... I knew full well that it was probably midnight where Barry was. I needed to talk to him, though. I felt the tears stream down my face as I waited in anticipation for Barry to answer.
I hear Barry tiredly greet me, "Hello? Ross, is that you?"
"B-Barry!" I cried.
"Ross?! What happened? Are you okay?!" His voice sounded panicked, and I immediately feel bad for scaring him.
"I- I'm fine..." I take a deep breath, hoping to calm down.
"What happened?" Barry's voice shifted to concern rather than panic.
"I don't th-think my family l-likes me anymore..."
"What do you mean?"
"Th-they kicked me o-out of the house..."
"Where will you stay?!" Barry's voice was scared again.
"I- I dunno."
"Do you want me to come over?"
"By the time you're here, I would've already left."
"What time is it where you are now?"
I check my phone, "A- about 1 in the afternoon... What about you?"
"Midnight."
"S-sorry!"
"No, Ross, don't worry about it! This is serious!"
"I- I can survive for a day..."
"You sure?"
I couldn't respond. I wasn't actually quite sure.
"Ross, are you there?"
"I'm here."
"Will you be okay?"
"I'm coming home, okay?"
"O-okay."
"S- see you soon."
"Yea."
"Love you." I blushed a small bit.
"Hehe, I love you, too!"
"Bye."
Click. The call ended.

Barry's POV
I hear an excited knock on the door. I rush over to open it up, for I knew who it probably was. When I open the door, my suspicions were confirmed when I saw Ross standing there. As soon as the door opened, I was pulled into a hug.
"Woah, hi!" I greeted him with surprise.
"I missed you so much..." Ross whispered.
"I missed you, too..."
