O row prompt- aboard the Waverider Coldflash bingo
Barry had been aboard the Waverider for a few days and everyone was giving him weird looks, except Mick. Mick obviously didn’t care about whatever the others did and just treated Barry like normal, thank god. Len was the weirdest though. He was avoiding the speedster, which was starting to piss Barry off. Barry was sitting on the deck in one of the chairs, looking at a holograph of Central City. It was in flames, half the buildings crumpled to ash. There was a horrible mark on city hall, a skull encircled in black flames. Mephistopheles, a villain from 2100 had destroyed his home. The Legends had stopped him with help from the Flash, but he had Gideon pull up the image anyways.
“Gideon, show me the new timeline please.” A voice startled Barry out of his reverie. Barry turned to look at Len as he walked onto the deck of the ship.
“Of course, Mr. Snart.” Central City was whole, scorch marks still visible in some spots but whole and thriving.
“We did good Scarlet.” Len sat on the step near Barry.
“Why are you avoiding me?”
Len looked like he contemplated lying. Barry was surprised. The thief was very good at schooling his expressions so the lapse in control was surprising. “We stopped in 2046 Central City. We helped from the superheroes around at that point for a side mission. Rip wasn’t happy, but they had contacted us through Gideon and between Sara, Kendra, Ray and Mick, Rip couldn’t really say no.”
“He actually really likes you. You make explosions and don’t judge him.” Huh. Barry felt warm. He smiled and gestured at Len to continue. “Anyways, their version of Captain Cold was around, knew I was there. Fucker looked me right in the eye and kissed his Flash dead on the lips.”
Barry froze. Another timeline’s Barry and Len got together? He felt his cheeks heat. “That why everyone is being weird?” Len nodded. “And how did you feel about it?” Barry could have sworn that Len was blushing as well.
“Well, the future certainly enjoyed it. Cisco looked a little grossed out though.” Barry laughed. Thirty years in the future and his friend was still a little shit. Len smiled, and Barry was struck by the fact that he had only seen this smile a handful of times.
“Want to see what the fuss is about?” Barry couldn’t believe he said that. He turned bright red and began to stammer. “I- well- what I mean is-” Barry didn’t get to finish as Len reached up from his seat on the floor and pulled Barry down into a kiss. Barry kissed back immediately, running his fingers over the stubble of Len’s head.
They pulled back after a moment. “Definitely worth the fuss.” Len mused lowly. Barry grinned and sped out of his chair to sit in Len’s lap.
Len smirked at the new position and put his hands on the speedster’s hips. “Scarlet.”
“Shut up.” Len sealed their lips together again. Barry responded in earnest, hands roving over the reachable parts of Len’s body. Running his tongue over the seam of Len’s lips, Barry shivered at the taste of Len. Mint and cold, like the feeling your mouth gets when you breathe after a mint. Len ran his tongue over a sensitive part of Barry’s mouth and Barry let a moan, vibrating with the speedforce. Len pulled back and looked Barry in the eye. “You vibrate?”
“When I get aroused enough.” Barry wasn’t sure how his voice got like that but based on the look in Len’s eye, he didn’t mind.
“Oh Scarlet. Now I’m never letting you get away.” Barry smirked and leaned in again.
“Damn.” Barry and Len pulled apart to see Kendra and Ray standing at the door. Kendra looked annoyed and Ray looked shocked. “I owe Mick 30 bucks now,” Kendra elaborated. Barry huffed out a laugh before standing up. He hadn’t eaten yet and finally felt hungry.
“Hey Scarlet?” Barry turned to look at Len, who was still sitting on the floor. “Grab me a chicken sandwich when you come up for air?”
“It’ll be faster to come get it yourself,” Barry said.
“Don’t really want to stand at the moment.” Len shifted how he was sitting, and Barry let out a laugh. He picked Len up in the speedforce and ran the thief to his room. He set Len on the bed.
“Deal with that and come find me after.” Barry rested a kiss on Len’s lips before speeding away.
