The Slash Stories

Arrow x Flash

Oliver and Barry sneak around, and people find out.

"Barry, look out!" Cisco shouted from his position next to a pillar.

Barry Allen, also known as the Flash, was fighting Captain Cold. His enemy who was -at times- his ally, had hit the trigger on his freeze gun. Barry heard Cisco's warning in time to get out of the way of the ice blast. He grabbed Cisco and ran to S.T.A.R Labs before it was too late.

"We almost had him. If you had just left me there." Cisco started to say.

"And leave you to die?" Barry retorted, sending a glare towards the other. "I have to get to work."

Caitlin looked worriedly towards Cisco, then towards the door that Barry had just exited. She had wanted to tell them that team Arrow had arrived in Central City just as Barry's battle with Lenard Snart had started. Caitlin had suggested that they go wait for Barry to arrive at the Central City Police Department. That may have not been the best idea.

Barry Allen was not in the happiest of moods at the moment. Cisco had flat out yelled at him in anger for saving his life, Iris was still dating Eddie, and the cop had cheated on her with him one night when the cop was drunk out of his mind. It had also happened to be the same night that Cisco had finally created an alcoholic beverage that could fight against his metabolism. Eddie had begged him not to tell Iris. He had been hesitant at first, but eventually, he had agreed. It was hard to reject a man who was on his hands and knees.

When Barry reached the CCPD, he was somewhat surprised to see the press was swarming the place. He pushed his way through the crowds of people, being careful not to harm anyone as he did so. Surprisingly, Oliver and Felicity were standing there, answering questions. Barry stood back and watched. The press questioned Oliver, who sent them a smile and answered their queries. Barry eventually made his way inside tot he lobby of the building to await his two friends.

"Barry!" the speedster heard the gruff voice of Oliver Queen exclaim.

"Hey, Ollie." He greeted, hugging the older man. "You make human contact?"

"Haha, very funny," Oliver stated while rolling his eyes.

"Bartholomew Henry Allen! I told you this man was on my cheat list, and you fail to mention that you're friends with him!" Iris yelled out. Barry cringed at the use of his full name. He turned towards the girl with a nervous smile.

"Well, I guess you have to cheat on Eddie now." Barry joked, scratching his neck. "Anyway, Ollie, Felicity, and I were just going upstairs to discuss stuff. Why don't you go fi-"

"Already here Bar." Thawne's voice called.

"Not you, too." Barry all but whined. Oliver snorted at the heroes actions before introducing himself to the other two.

"Oliver Queen."

"Felicity Smoke."

"Iris West."

"Eddie Thawne."

"It was a pleasure to meet you two. Now, Barry and I are going to get something to eat as I am starved." Oliver told the three before he and Barry ran outside. Felicity frowned as she realized that they left her alone with two other people.

"Hey." Felicity shyly greeted in an attempt to make conversation. It worked.

-- With Ollie and Barry--

"Are you sure that we shouldn't tell anyone?"  Barry asked as he pulled away from the kiss he was sharing with Oliver.

"Do you want to tell anyone?" Oliver retorted. "You'd have to come out to your family. Word would get out, and we'd never be left alone."

Barry rolled his eyes at his lover. He sat down on the couch and dragged the older man with him. Barry leaned onto Oliver's shoulder and started to hum. Oliver smiled down at the young man, watching as he lulled himself to sleep. He brought the sleeping speedster up to his own room before exiting the house. He'd give Barry time to make a decision before they took action.

For now, their secret was between them, and that was completely fine.
