Len was at the CCPD to spy on Barry when Oliver fricking Queen walks in. Since when does Barry know Oliver Queen? 

Then he saw the fight break out. He wouldn't lie to himself; he was relived. How could he compete with Oliver fricking Queen?

...

Len watched as Oliver waited in Barry's apartment. 

Then Barry came home. He saw him smile, fall for Oliver, then watched them take it to the couch.

He could feel his heart breaking.

...

Barry woke to a warm body next to his. He didn't remember getting that drunk.

He opened his eyes and looked over to see Oliver Queen? Huh?  Why would Oliver agree to be with Barry? He wasn't gay, was he?

He had to know. So, he asked. 

"Ollie?" Barry asked anxiously. 'Ollie' turned his head to show that he was indeed Ollie. 

"Morning, Bear," Oliver said with a smile. Barry couldn't help but smile back. 

"Did you mean to?" Barry asked, smile fading and anxiously replacing it. Oliver cupped Barry's cheek, forcing Barry to look into his eyes. "No. I could never regret you, Barry. The first time, the only reason was that I was scared. I didn't understand my feelings, and I was scared to try, and because of that, I broke your heart. I'm so sorry, Bear. Can you forgive me?" 

Barry smiled and kissed him. "Does that answer your question?" he asked. Oliver shook his head. "I think I'll need to try it again." Barry rolled his eyes. "Well, then let's try it again, see if you get the message." Oliver chuckled. Then they kissed again.

...

Len felt tears in his eyes. Barry was moving on. Without him.

His heart was breaking, his soul shattering, and all he could think about was Barry.

...

Barry had stopped seeing Sam. He just didn't have time anymore. Any it wasn't like she called him.

So, they didn't see each other anymore.

...

Kara was going to take Hank's advice. She was going to be there for Barry. Question was, how?

Maybe Cisco's device could help...

...

"So, how do you wanna do this?" Oliver asked after another round. Barry was still dazed. He would smile and nod with about anything right about now. So, he did. Oliver laughed. Barry really loved that laugh.

"Barry?" Barry turned, a smile frozen on his face. Oliver laughed and rolled his eyes. Barry didn't know how he did that. It was quite a talent. 

"What's up?" Barry asked, but it was obvious he wasn't really listening. "How are we going to do this?" Barry came out of his daze and looked Oliver in the eye. "I'm not ready to tell my friends and family that I have a boyfriend yet. I'm barely out of the closet." Oliver nodded. "Same here. So, when can I see you again?" Barry thought about his plans. "How 'bout you give me your phone number and I'll call you?" Barry said. Oliver nodded, then wrote his phone number down. Barry smiled. "Now, sho!" Oliver rolled his eyes as he chuckled. "Goodbye, Barry. Have a good night." Barry smirked. "You've already made it that much better." 

Oliver left, leaving Barry feeling a whole lot better.

...

Len was a different story. He couldn't believe it. Barry had moved on. He felt tears on his face, tasted salt on his lips. He wished he could taste Barry's lips instead of the salt of his tears.

...

Kara somehow found Cisco's device in her mess of a room.

She didn't know how. It was a miracle.

She had Winn turn it on, then she went through to visit Barry.

...

Barry was super cheery. He got all of his work done early, then he started some of tomorrow's so he could take tomorrow off and spend some time with Oliver.

When he finally did get home, he said hello to all of his neighbors, then he sat on his bed and thought about Oliver until he decided to call him.

...

Oliver went to work happily. He decided total tomorrow off, but would need to start catching up. He was super behind. 

He was nice to Felicity, Diggle, and Roy when he came down to the Arrow Cave. He did his job, but he kept getting distracted because he couldn't stop thinking about Barry.

"Oliver!" he heard Felicity shout in his ear more than three times. He heard Diggle and Roy snicker, but he didn't care. He had Barry. Nothing else mattered.

So when he got the call, he waited patiently for Barry to come.

... 

When Barry did come, he brought food. He ate it all, but it's the thought that counts, right? Oliver snickered the whole time. Barry glared at him more than once, but Oliver was on a roll.

"What? Do you want some?" Barry asked. Oliver looked at him in shock. "Oh. I forgot to tell you. I can vibrate my vocal cords to make them sound like that." Oliver looked thrilled. Barry rolled his eyes. "Keep them vibrated!" Oliver said with a smirk. "Whatever," Barry said. He had brought his Flash suit, for friction purposes. Now, it was going to be used for a completely different reason.

...

Everyone Barry knew was completely baffled. Usually Barry was moody, not cheerful. What had happened? Had they forgotten his birthday again?

... 

Everyone Oliver knew was wondering the same thing.

...

What had happened to Oliver/Barry?

Personally, I like Flarrow almost as much as ColdFlash

Personally, I like Flarrow almost as much as ColdFlash. You will likely see quite a bit more Flarrow. Maybe a little less ColdFlash.
