WC : 1.8k

A/N : it's kinda quick cuz I wrote that when I was half asleep I'm sorry 😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️

You always dreamed of a man to fit the standards your standards tall handsome face muscular body a sweet smile smooth voice talented can cook can take care of you and understand you and show you love as much as you do you tried dating multiple times it never worked out you really thought you were the problem you never lasted with any of them while they find the love of their life getting married and even having kids you didn't really care children and marriage weren't really your thing being the hopeless romantic you are , you went to the bar after work , you worked in a really big company and you were getting paid really well , you never complained about anything in your life

I'm the bar you sometimes go with your workmates but most of the times you go alone, the job was alot so you go to get drunk and maybe get laid if you're lucky enough

“The usual or something new this time?” The bartender asked you

“Nah get me the usual or do you have anything special ?” you asks and rolls her eyes

“Then the usual” he chuckles and disappears

You look around the bar you notice some familiar faces but you weren't really interested in any of them until your eyes were fixed on doyoung and Johnny

They were from the office you worked at they were everyone's crush , when someone try and flirt with any of them they just smile and nod simply, some people thought they had girlfriends some thought they were gay and dating cause they always stick to eachother and hang out together

You were kinda interested in them they were handsome and so gentle and kind with everyone but you didn't really wanna date someone from work

“Here's your drink miss” he taps your shoulder

“ah thank you” you take the drink from his hand as you turn your back you find a muscular body Infront of you…well two of them actually

“Oh hey y/n right?” It was a familiar voice you looked up to see the two beautiful men from your office the voice was coming from doyoung

“Ahh yes you're right that's me” you smile and nod slightly

“You look stunning by the way” the other older man says with a sweet smile

“Oh well thank you you look great as well” you smile back at him

“Oh let's go take a seat” doyoung noted and both you and Johnny nod in agreement all three of you walk over to the nearest table

The three of you talked and got to know eachother more it was really nice talking to them they were nice and had a really stable life both of them were gentle with you had a really sweet smile the night ended with all three of you drunk everyone barely could walk on their feet

The next day when you woke up you found both of them checking if you went home safely it was really sweet of them

Days after days weeks after weeks you developed a really good friendship

Months passed and you decided to go on a vacation it was nice to go on a beach trip after working most of the year right?

After a long trip everybody goes to their room and rest til the next morning

“Good morning y/n !!” A text from doyoung was sent

“ahh good morning doyoung did you sleep well?”

“Oh yes I did wanna head to the beach?”

“Oh yeah sure just wait until I get ready”

“Yeah alright then see you soon”

You smile at his text and go to change and get ready you wore your 2 piece swimsuit and did your hair and wore some sunscreen after that you got out of your room heading to the hotel's gate and met doyoung and Johnny there

“Good morning princess did you sleep well?” Johnny asked while smiling

“Oh yes I did , did you sleep well ?” You smile back at him

“Of course I did” he chuckles softly as you roll your eyes

As both men sit in the front seats you sit in the backseat

“i had to reserve the beach” doyoung says

“What ? Why did you do that there's literally nothing special about it” you ask confusedly

“Well that beach is really famous and it has alot good services so it was worth it y/n” doyoung says trying to convince you

“Yeah we will also stay the whole day there they has some house Infront of the beach so don't worry about it so much” Johnny added to the younger man's words

“Oh well…at that point it's fine I guess “ you can hear them both chuckles after about 30 minutes you finally arrived to your destination

“C'mon y/m we arrived” doyoung says

Johnny was more flirty than doyoung he always flirted with you it's not like you're the only one he always flirted with people it was something he does while doyoung was more serious while talking he didn't like being really flirty or anything but never complained about any of them it's their nature

You got out of the car grabbing your bag and tried helping them taking out the things they got but they refused

“Let me guess you didn't grab any clothes to stay here did you?” Doyoung asks you and chuckles

“And how was I supposed to know we're staying here? Nobody told me”

“Well luckily I got extra pajama in case something happened or whatever”

“Aww thank you doyoung “ you hugged him for few seconds and pulled out

“Anyways love birds are you ready to have fun?” Johnny says and rolls his eyes

“Oh stop Johnny you're not funny anyways let's go” doyoung chuckles and grabs few things like towels sunscreen sunglasses etc

You all headed to the beach it was fun Johnny tried showing off his skills but failed trying some tricks you saw on the internet it was fun you laughed talked time passed really quickly everyone got out showered and slept for about an hour

“Wake up sleepy head” you feel doyoung shake you off

“I'm awake doyoung” you said In a sleepy tone

“I can see that” he tsks as you feel his face closer to you

You tried to keep distance

“Are you trying to kiss me or what?” You ask jokingly

“Oh is it that obvious?” He chuckles and got closer to you, it was kinda surprising to you cause doyoung wasn't the type to flirt at all you panicked as he got closer to you

You felt his lips on yours you didn't know what to do that moment but you gave in and kissed him back you can feel his hands around your waist pulling your body closer against him as you wrap your hands around his neck the kiss last for few moments until you hear someone clearing his throat both of you and doyoung pulled out and looked at johnny awkwardly

“uhh well…Johnny it's not like th-”

“Wanna join us?” Doyoung cuts you off

“Oh well hell yeah dude you know I'm in” Johnny sits next you and now you're stuck between both of them like a sandwich

As you feel Johnny leans in and kisses your lips you didn't resist it this time you actually returned the kiss immediately after few moments you feel doyoung pulling you to meet his lips he kisses your lips passionately and gently you feel Johnny taking off his shirt revealing his toned body and tattoos he then pulls you to kiss him again as doyoung takes off his shirt as well , it was like a dream of yours you didn't fantasize about them before you alway saw them as some friends from work you never expected it to end up like that

Kissing doyoung then Johnny then doyoung again it kept going like that for a while until doyoung throws you on the bed as both of them take off their pants you take off your shirt and pants as well being only left in your laced underwear and bra they both get on bed and Johnny captures your lips in a kiss while doyoung kisses your neck you moan in Johnny lips and you feel your bra being ripped off revealing your breasts Johnny let go off your mouth and puts one of your nipples in your mouth and doyoung takes the other one in his mouth you rub your thighs against eachother as you feel wet you feel hands on your thighs taking off your panties carefully both of them inserts one of their fingers inside you you moan loudly as your eyes roll back due to the pleasure

“O-oh fuck I want b-both of you of fuck” you could barely talk due to Overstimulation

“There is no condoms in here y/n” doyoung says

“It doesn't matter just…just fuck me” you

“As you wish princess” Johnny says and looks at doyoung

“C'mon doyoung stop being so boring I know you're hard too” Johnny say as you hear doyoung sighs

“Fine I swear I don't know how this will turn out” doyoung finally gives in

They both get up

“You sure you can take both of us babe?” Doyoung says as him and Johnny settled between your legs

“Yes I can just please do it” you begged them

As you feel them in you already

“Oh fuck you're so tight oh my god” Johnny says his voice was much deeper and low

Doyoung was quiet moaning his moans was like music for your ears they both try to move in sync adjusting themselves as you moan loudly hips thrusting the sound of your moans the whole thing seemed like a dream to your vision was blurry as you can barely breathe you feel your release as your eyes close tightly gripping on the sheets as you feel their seeds in you , you moan loudly and roll your eyes they both stop and throw themselves next you on both sides and the three of you just fall asleep

You wake up the next day you found yourself sleeping by yourself you just go shower and head to the kitchen you found them both there talking

“Good morning y/n” doyoung smiles

“Oh good morning doie” you smile back and hug him awkwardly he returns the hug he usually doesn't do that something was wrong but you didn't mind it

“So me and Johnny were talking..and well would you want to be my…well our girlfriend”

You look at them for a while

“Oh well yeah sure you guys are great but can you both share” you chuckles and hug doyoung even tighter Johnny joins and you three end up making love on the floor”

OMG I NEED MORE MIGUEL X LATINA READER!!!

Write whatever you want, just give us more please <333

HELLO!! i was gonna post Closet pt 2 to a request of it, but accidentally clicked to reply privately and idk what happened to that post, and this is the only request that looks like i can use for this!!

Also Ik people who asked for part 2 wanted some smut, but i love angst to fluff and idk how to write smut😭, maybe i can try for a part 3??

Also I fell asleep while writing this and when I woke up my phone was locked and I had lost all progress I made and had to rewrite it

WTF?

Miguel O’hara x Latina Reader

Part 1

It was 2 am, you were laying down and ‘WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?!?’ was the only thing in your mind after your little moment with Miguel in the closet, he had fucking kissed you, and he told you that it wasn’t over, it HAD to mean something… Right? what if you were just overthinking things, maybe he couldn’t think of any better way of shutting you up, maybe-

Suddenly you heard your phone ringing, thinking it was Miguel you excitedly picked up only to realize it was definitely not Miguel the one calling you.

“Hey, are you okay? I just wanted to apologize for leaving you in that closet with Miguel, I didn’t actually mean to, I mean it would have been a great idea but I sadly didn’t come up with it, I know Miguel is really mean to you and I’m so sorry that I left you in there-“

“He kissed me”

“Oh my god, I knew he was gonna be mean I’m so sorr- wait what? Did I hear you correctly?”

“You heard me, but I’m so confused, like it all statted when we got trapped in there, he said it was probably my plan for us to get trapped in there together and be able to get in his personal space, I called him an asshole and he started being mean about my accent and I just snapped at him, I was telling him how I don’t know why he hates me so much when he cut me off by kissing me, and then like it ended in a heavy make out session, until you opened the door, then he told me it wasn’t over yet, but I’ve been waiting all day and he hasn’t even texted me!”

“Hmm maybe he doesn’t know how to, you know that Miguel isn’t very good at talking to people, have you tried initiating conversation with him?

“Yes! I tried to talk to him but he was busy, then I texted him but he just read my text! I’m really confused Peter, what if he didn’t actually mean to kiss me, maybe he just couldn’t think of any better way of shutting me up or something.”

“Hmm then why would it turn into a make out if it was just that, I don’t think he would just kiss someone like that without meaning it, even less to continue a kiss like that.”

“Well, maybe after kissing me he just realized how touch starved he was or something, wanting more but not necessarily from me!”

“No, I don’t think Miguel is the type of person to just go around kissing people without meaning it, maybe he’s just busy, You know how much he overworks himself, you should stop worrying, go to sleep and just try to be patient with him!”

“Okay Pete thanks, I will try to go to sleep, night.”

“Night! and just remember, don’t worry too much about it and just be patient!”

“Okay, I will, byee”

And you were patient the next day.

And the day after that.

And after that.

And after that.

And after that.

And after that, until it had been a month of Miguel straight out ignoring you and only interacting with you when it was really necessary and he had no option but to do so, using Jess to communicate with you if it wasn’t crucial for him to interact with you, this only made you more confused at the start, but then you concluded it just confirmed that he didn’t actually mean anything out of that kiss.

So you decided that you were done waiting for him, and you were done hurting, so you were gonna move on.

As if the universe had heard you, Jess called you into Miguel’s office and introduced you to a new recruit that she thought you would get along with, he had curly hair, green eyes, he was tall and a bit muscular but not like Miguel, he was the prettiest man you had ever seen, well after Miguel…

He introduced himself as Mariano.

Of course Miguel noticed the look awe in your face, but to his dismay Jess told you to give Mariano a tour which you happily agreed to, maybe too happily for Miguel’s liking.

_______________________________________

It had been almost a month since Mariano was recruited, and even if Miguel didn’t like it, you and Mariano had grown closer.

Miguel really wanted to do something about it, but he hadn’t spoken a word to you for like two months, how was he supposed to just talk to you and tell you to stay away from that man cause he was jealous after everything he did?

How could he even explain why he suddenly ghosted you when even himself didn’t know the reason, don’t get me wrong, Miguel liked that kiss, hell, he loved it, he wanted to do it again, and again, and again, it felt like a drug and he felt as if he was going through withdrawal, and Mariano in the picture didn’t help the symptoms.

So Miguel did the most reasonable thing to do, he went to Peter B.

Peter told Miguel to just tell you what he really felt and to explain why he ghosted you before Mariano made a move, because it was obvious that Mariano had a huge crush on you, sadly it seemed like you had a crush in him too.

So Miguel ran, he went over to your universe as fast as he could, he knocked on your door without actually having a speech prepared, and before he knew it you had already opened the door, he looked at you and saw you wearing the black dress that he gave you, he saw as you had really heavy make up and then he realized why you opened so quickly… you were going on a date.

“Wait, Miguel? what are you doing here” you said in a not so happy tone.

“Please don’t go on a date with Mariano”.

“And why should I listen to you?”.

“Just please, don’t go”.

“¿Qué chingados te pasa? ¿Quién te crees Miguel? eh? a ver, no me puedes besar y luego ignorarme para venir a decirme con quien puedo salir y con quien no solo porque te dolió en tu ego”.

“Okay no, please, that’s not why I’m telling you this”.

“Then why is it Miguel? I’m fucking tired of your bullshit and of you playing with me whenever you want to.”

“I’m telling you this because I love you, okay? I’m in love with you, I want to be the one that you go out on dates with, not that idiot”.

“Well. should’ve thought about that before ghosting me”.

“Okay, look, I’m sorry, I didn’t ghost you just because, I just… I was just really scared of being in love again and losing that person I love again, I was scared because after that kiss all I ever wanted to do was to do it again and to keep kissing you forever, please I’ll make it up to you! So please, don’t go, please let me be the one that takes you out on dates and be able to love you, okay?”

“Oh my god. you love me too”.

Howard

“Morning, sweetheart! Ready to start the day?”

You grunt in reply and puld the blanket over your cold body. Howard is already up, enthusiastic as always. But today you’re too tired for that. 

“Come on now… You’ve been snoozing for 20 minutes!”

“I don’t want to…”

His smile fades and he sits down on bed next to you.

“You alright?” He reaches out to stroke your cheek and notices how cold-sweaty you are. “Hmm… That’s not good.” 

“I don’t feel well.”

“I know, sweetie, I know…” 

I feel like he’d be like: YOU’RE SICK??? 😰 at first

But then be like: You’re sick… 💔 If that makes sense LOL

Probably scared of catching a cold etc

But he loves you - so it’s worth the risk 😌✨

Howard is the guy that helps you with everything once sick

He fixes food, makes sure you keep warmth and makes warm tea etc

He basically acts like a maid for you until you feel better lol

But he doesn’t mind, at all <3

He likes taking care of and spoiling you 

“Are you cold, darlin’?” he asks, proceeding to wrap a blanket over your shoulders.

“No, I actually feel quite warm” He looks concerned and feels your forehead “Your fever is not going down… Do you want something cold instead? Water, ice cream… Are you laughing?” “Sorry… You’re just so cute when you’re worried!”

Also… You being sick gives him an excuse to just sit back down and cuddle you

He allows himself to be “lazy” (aka taking a break and not overworking) when you’re around

He loves to set you down in the couch and put on some movie to watch together

If he can’t be at home with you - he texts or calls you at least once throughout the day to check on you 

It doesn’t matter if you only have a simple cold, he’ll take care of you until you feel ok again 

He probably would end up sick too 😭 “But at least we can stay home together now!” he says after waking up with the same cold you had. “...But Howard, I need to go back to work today” “...Oh ☹” But you’re of course there for him too until he feels better <3

Also - I found these two Howard out of context screenshots on my PC LOL, thought you might like them!! 😭

Nacho

“You’re burning up” Nacho mutters, still having his palm pressed against your sweaty forehead. “I’m fine, Nacho”

But the fever thermometer says otherwise.

“Yea… Fine, huh?” He scoffs and strokes the hair that's glued to your forehead, tucking it behind your ear. “Rest.” 

“But…”

“Rest.” His voice gets softer “Let me take care of you, ok?”

“...Fine.” 

He smiles at this.

“Good.” 

This man… (God, I love him, I need him <33)

He’ll be all 😐 towards everyone, all the time

But not with you.

Whenever you’re doing poorly, he’s right there. Whether it’s mentally or like in this case - when you’re sick.

He’s the guy that will grimace and be really judgy if someone sneezes or coughs in public, but he tries his best to not be a baby about it for you.

And he’s good at it

Truth is, he somehow likes it when you’re sick

Just because he’ll get to take care of you 

And have you all dependent on him

It takes his mind off all his troubles, and he can focus on you only.

He brings you tea, soup, painkillers… Whatever you need - whenever.

He also appreciates cuddling up next to you and watch TV, letting you pick out whatever

It’s just comforting to him - somehow - to feel your fever warmth against him.

Basically - he’s already a sweetheart, but becomes the most caring (and worried) boyfriend ever when you’re sick. <3 “Nacho, don’t be so close, I don’t want you to be sick too…” “I don't care.” he murmurs

…And eventually he ends up sick too lol

He’s really overdramatic about it 😭

Before meeting you - he’d overwork himself and not give a damn about resting

But since he takes well care of you - you of course do the same for him.

So when he eventually catches a cold, you’re there for him “Well look at that… Told you that you’d get sick.” “...Shut up.” “Will you let me take care of you?”

And of course… He lets you

Homeboy gets overdramatic af when sick 😭

He likes seeing you all worried for him - it’s cute lol

Nacho makes sure you’re cuddled up next to him all day 

And now it’s his turn to choose movies/series for you to watch with him

“Hey?” Nacho whispers after you’ve both shut the lights off for the night. “Hmm?” “...Thanks for taking care of me.” “Of course, Nacho. I love you” “Love you too”

If you guys liked the concept of this I can make a part 2 with the other BrBa/BCS characters! Lmk and thanks for reading <3 Been feeling down lately but I have plans on some stuff I wanna post this weekend :)) Looking forward <3

Clandestine Meetings End in Longing Stares | O.Q

My Masterlist | Request Guidelines | Send a Request

Pairing: (Anti) Barry Allen x reader, Oliver Queen x reader

Request: “Part 2 [To The Worst That Could Happen] seems idle rn 😭” | Requested by @ ciarrauchiha (On Wattpad)

A/N: Re-reading the fic, I’m honestly kind of surprised that a part two wasn’t requested earlier since it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger. This is kind of an AU where Oliver isn’t in jail or exiled from Star City or anything like he was during the 7th season, when this fic takes place. I'd recommend reading Part 1 before reading this or else it might get a bit confusing.

Summary: After Barry finds out about you and Oliver’s relationship before you could break the news yourself, he finally agrees to meet you so you can explain.

Warnings: Rocky friendship

Word Count: ~1.9k

▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣

Idly stirring creamer into the black coffee in front of you, you picked up the ceramic mug and took a sip, only to wince at the remaining bitterness of the drink.

Glancing at the clock that ticked away on the diner wall, you sighed upon seeing that over half an hour had passed since you originally sat down.

You had woken up that morning enveloped in Oliver’s arms as he slept, which was a rare occurrence in itself considering your boyfriend's usual tendency to wake up earlier than the sun and go work out.

However, instead of taking that uncommon opportunity to sleep in with the man you loved, you had checked your phone and was met with a text from Barry, replying to the request you had made two weeks ago when he found out that you and Oliver were dating.

You had asked him if he was available to meet up so you could explain. And admittedly, the day after you shattered your friendship with him was probably too soon, but you couldn’t wait.

So, when he finally replied after fourteen restless days, he texted, asking to meet you at some diner in the middle of nowhere. Not minding the location, knowing that you both had memories in every other restaurant, you carefully slipped out of your boyfriend’s bed in favor of meeting your best… well, former best friend.

You knew how it sounded. But you didn’t care.

Plus, you’re sure that Oliver will understand… probably.

With a pitying smile on her face, the waitress held up the coffee pitcher, silently asking if you wanted a refill, no doubt assuming that you were stood up.

And while she wasn’t exactly wrong, you still shook your head ‘no’.

However, just as you were losing hope, the bell of the door rang as someone opened it. And your head shot up to see the scarlet speedster himself, out of uniform of course, only forty-two minutes later than he promised.

His lips were pressed in a tight line as he slid into the booth seat in front of you, and in the corner of your eye you saw the waitress smile at you being joined by someone.

“Hey,” he offered, placing his intertwined hands on the table.

You gave Barry a small smile, “Hi.”

Opening and closing his mouth a couple times, Barry finally found his wording as he spoke, “I didn’t actually think you were going to come.”

“Well you definitely gave me ample time to change my mind,” you chuckled.

At that, Barry’s lips shifted into a smile before he quickly wiped it off his face, seeming to remember why you both were here.

Looking around the small diner, he only noticed an older couple, the waitress, and a cook in the back.

“Where’s Oliver?”

You gave a nervous laugh, “Do you honestly think he’s hiding behind the building or something, ready to shoot you in the back if you cross any lines? This place is pretty empty for a Saturday morning. But then again, there doesn’t look to be anyone within twenty miles.”

At Barry’s unamused stare, you figured he actually wanted an answer.

“He’s still at home.”

Barry hummed at your answer, his noise having no distinguishable meaning. Walking over to your table, the waitress poured him a cup of coffee, leaving a similar amount of creamer.

Giving a small ‘thanks’, the waitress left you and Barry to simmer in awkward silence, and you almost wish you ordered some food so at least the sound of your chewing could fill the space.

But alas, you and him could only listen to the faint clatter of cutlery on plates while you both looked at each other, wondering who would admit fault for the whole incident.

Sighing, you broke the silence, “I promise I was going to tell you about Oliver.”

“When?”

“After our first date.”

“Which was…?” he trailed off, prompting you to fill in the blank.

You paused for a second, knowing he wouldn’t like your answer. “Well… we only really started dating five months ago. But, well, we went out a few times last year after Earth-X.”

Just as you expected, Barry fell silent at your words. You couldn’t even count how many times you had seen him and opportunities you had to tell him in the past five months. And if you had just done it, you could have saved him 152 days of longing and working up the courage to ask you out.

Alas, you couldn’t go back in time… Well, you could. But you shouldn’t.

So, you remained silent as you sat across from him in some deserted diner as it felt like the person which you had always depended on the most was shifting allegiances.

Breaking the silence he created, Barry’s expression remained neutral while he aimlessly stirred his coffee.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” he finally asked, verbalizing the golden question you knew was coming.

And you wish you had a better answer, or at least one that didn’t make you feel so… in the wrong. But all you could say was, “I didn’t want to lose you. I-I knew that you wouldn’t like me being with someone else. I just… didn’t quite know why.”

“So instead you chose to lead me on?” Barry scoffed, but you couldn’t even blame him since you knew that was exactly what you did, despite it being unintentional.

You knew that nothing you could say could make him feel better, so instead you remained silent, letting him express his betrayal.

“So… what’s next for you and Oliver?” he spoke, his former mentor’s name leaving a sour taste in his mouth. But then again, that might have just been from the jealousy crawling out the speedster’s stomach onto his tongue.

You shrugged your shoulders, “We don’t have a solid plan or anything, it hasn’t been that long.”

Barry quietly scoffed, but you heard.

Furrowing your eyebrows, you asked, “What is that supposed to mean?”

“Nothing, I just- nevermind.”

“No, no. Tell me.”

“I just, didn’t think you would be okay with his… lifestyle.”

You crossed your arms, not quite understanding, and at your perplexed look, Barry explained, “You know, he has certain images he likes to uphold. First, he was a ‘ladies man’ by day, ‘mysterious vigilante’ by night. Then, he was the ‘handsome businessman-mayor’ slash ‘emerald hero’. Now he’s ‘Mr. Ready to Settle Down’ plus ‘normal guy who occasionally puts his life in danger to cope with retirement’.”

He added, “I just didn’t think you would want someone who’s a completely different person every other year.”

This time, it was you who scoffed, much louder than intended. “Barry, just because you’ve been the same goodie-two-shoes Forensic Scientist, now with superpowers, your entire life, doesn’t mean everyone else also stays the same. People change.”

“I just don’t understand!” Barry exclaimed, drawing a couple looks from the older couple at the other side of the diner.

Not wanting to cause a scene, you lowered your voice, “Yes, Barry, I chose Oliver Queen over you. It’s not a completely incomprehensible decision.”

Barry’s eyebrows furrowed in frustration as he leaned back in his seat, trying to create some distance between you both.

“I-I don’t think I can be your friend anymore,” he sighed, mild anger in his eyes but with an uncharacteristic calm in his voice.

You scoffed in disbelief, “Come on Barry, you're not my first choice for once in my life and now you can’t bear to see me anymore.”

“It’s not about that.”

“Then what is it about?!”

“It’s because I loved you!” Barry whisper-yelled.

You slumped back into your seat, which you had risen up from, slowly blinking at his confession. Sure, you knew that he had feelings for you, but you assumed it was a small childhood crush.

He took your silence as an opening to continue, “You’ve always been there for me for as long as I could remember. And I thought that was because you loved me too.”

In a small voice, you began, “Barry-”

“Unless you’re going to say that I wasn’t just imagining things, I really don’t want to hear it,” he interrupted.

Falling silent, you granted his wish. As much as you wanted to tell him that his feelings were requited, even just a little bit, you weren’t able to.

Rising from your seat, you grabbed your jacket and put down a twenty dollar bill to cover the cost of your both’s coffees, plus the time you spent sitting at the diner.

Barry’s expecting eyes were glued to you, hope shining in his pupils that just a tiny part of you felt the same, but his sunken posture displayed his realization that you didn’t.

Giving your former childhood best friend one last look, you spoke, “I know that this is probably the end of us, but if you ever need anything or just want to talk again… please, call me.”

Despite him giving a small nod, you knew that the chances of Barry ever speaking to you again were slim.

Sighing at the utter failure that was your reconciliation meeting, you walked out the door of the diner, and away from the man that had been in your life forever.

You knew that everybody would move on, but a piece of you would always be right where you left him.

Getting into your car, you glanced down to see a text from Oliver, asking where you were.

Replying that you just went to get breakfast, which was technically the truth, you told your boyfriend that you would be home soon.

Leaving the diner, you looked in your rear-view mirror to see that Barry stayed there, and you hoped that not too much dust collected on his chestnut hair as he sat and stared at your empty seat.

You could only hope that time would unfreeze and you wouldn’t be forced to relive your conversation with Barry in your mind forever.

Turning your eyes back onto the open road, you tried to forget about your former friend, and instead, focus on Oliver.

You refused to let Barry’s pining eclipse the bright future you had with the man you loved. After all, you were confident that it was only a matter of time before Barry fell in love with someone who can actually return his feelings.

Smiling to yourself, you tapped your phone screen and it lit up with a picture of you and Oliver, one where he actually agreed to smile instead of his normal, intimidating stare.

Returning to Star City, you knew that you and Barry would move on from your fight, and your clandestine meeting would be remembered as nothing more than another lesson learned. Eventually, you both are surely going to find some perspective, and will pick up your friendship right where you left it.
