Been meaning to create a lil something for this small but very cute ship for a while. Hope you enjoy @battys-home. :)

Ray gets a dream job as an actor, starring as one of the leads in a musical. He’s working alongside Barry ’The Flash’ Allen as the competition for his love interest, which would be great… Except he has to act churlish on camera one moment and fall back to smiles and apologies the next, eager to reassure Barry he actually likes him. The situation gives him emotional whiplash but it’s still a fantastic project, exactly the kind of old-school musical he’s always wanted to do.
He can’t help but enjoy the promotional tour even more, considering it’s just him and Barry a lot of the time. They both get to be themselves in interviews, antagonism free and goofing off - their natural enthusiasm for the project, as well as the genre, shining through to everyone’s benefit. It’s no surprise that he misses it all once it’s over and the movie finally drops.
A funny thing happens though, there’s a vocal section of fans who insist him and Barry had even better chemistry than him and his love interest, lovely as she was. Ray’s kinda pleased to know maybe he wasn’t imagining that spark between them, even if it’s purely likeminds hitting it off.
Then he gets a phonecall from an indie director who’s enthusiastic about a much lower budget musical, one where Ray is cast opposite Barry as his love interest this time. It’d be foolish to give up on another chance to do a musical and there’s really nothing he’d want more than to work with Barry again. At least that’s what he thinks at the time anyhow. What he comes to realize later is a story for another time.
