What if you just kiss him? | olivarry au
Barry realized he was bisexual after a very looong period of time of him doubting everything he had ever known.
It wasn't because Joe and Iris wouldn't accept him, it was because maybe he couldn't accept himself.
Because Barry "Of course I'm straight" Allen have been telling that lie for so long that he believed it, and discarded every thought other than friendly towards literally every person he met.
But the moment he realized was after Cisco started joking with him.
"Dude, you literally dropped everything to go to another city!" He teased him, holding his laughter while drinking his slushie.
"There's nothing deep about it, Oliver's a good friend" Barry smiled, taking it the importance.
"Oh! Oh!" Cisco dramatized while pressing his hands on the table "I'm getting a vibe!"
Barry immediately was walking towards him "What? What are you seeing?"
"Oh false alarm" he moved his hair to its place "It wasn't that kind of vibe" the speedster looked at him, confused "Just my gaydard screaming" he smirked at the flush of Barry's cheeks.
"Wh-What do you mean?" He instantly started to stutter.
"Oh come on dude, haven't you at least thought you might not be thaat straight?"
After a lot of tests and searching around in google, he was more than sure he wasn't straight.
And when he teamed again with Oliver, it all clicked.
Shit! He had a major crush on his vigilante partner.
When he came back from Star City, he arrived the cortex only to find Cisco and Caitlin working in something he didn't really care.
"How did it go with Mr. Queen?" the latino moved his eyebrows, suggestively.
Barry sat on the floor of the cortex, staring at the wall.
"Barry, are you okay?" Cait stopped what she was doing and walked towards the speedster.
"I like Oliver" he kept staring at the wall.
The cortex filled with a dead silence.
Before Cisco interrupted it "Yes!" he moved his hands, celebrating "Snow, pay up!" he pointed at her.
That brought Barry back to the reality.
"Did you jus-"
"I told Caitlin you were going to realize it very soon but she stated you will notice after like thirty years"
Now Barry looked at Caitlin.
"You can be pretty oblivious" she raised his shoulders.
"I mean, haven't you noticed how Oliver looks at you?"
Barry turned at Cisco so fast he almost broke his own neck.
"What?!" Cisco mutted him with his hand.
"Ok, we need to focus on this new plan: How can Oliver and Barry be together" He smiled.
"What If you just kiss him?" Caitlin asked, obvious, but with the looks on her teammates' face, she continued "Come on! Now we know Barry likes Oliver and we are pretty sure it's mutual"
"No we aren't" Barry almost shouted, panicking "And also, he thinks I'm straight"
"Then tell him you're not" said the latino while eating a red vine.
"Oh sure, what about "Hey Ollie, I noticed I'm bisexual as fuck and I like you a lot, let's date"? Is it enough direct for you?" he moved his hands exagerating.
"Okay, okay, I get it!" Cisco raised his hands in sign of peace.
"Okay, then show it" Cait intervened and looked at them "When the times were rough, lgbt people had their own signs to recognize each other, and as far as I know, Oliver's bisexual too, so he might recognize them" she moved her hands while explaining.
That night, Barry stayed up till 4 am searching in all sources he could found... even memes.
And the next week. he started to think about more and more excuses to team up with the emerald archer.
He's desperate, he has tried everything, literally e v e r y t h i n g, he has ever crossed through internet.
So after he decides to be agressive, he really hopes it works or he will be very embarassed.
When Oliver saw the speedster entering the coffee shop, he felt his jaw hurt after how hard it dropped.
But it was totally worth it when he saw Barry Allen, the Barry Allen that has been acting strange for like half a year or more, the Barry "Of course I'm straight" Allen, his Barry Allen; with high waisted jeans and a white crop top with a tiny rainbow in the pocket over his heart.
He avoided looking at him while he drank a sip of his coffee but it was a terrible idea when he almost choked because Barry decided to connect their eyes and smile.
Oliver loved his smiles, it made him feel at peace. However, at the moment he was feeling everything but at peace.
And his thoughts... oh lord. He thanked the universe Barry didn't get the ability to read minds because right now his thoughts weren't very innocent.
"What are you wearing?" Oliver finally asked with a smile on his face.
"Oh... I-" the speedster doubted for a second "This is Iris', I couldn't... do laundry this week" He smiled nervous, wanting to hit his head with the table repeatedly.
"Oh..." Oliver was literally speechless, he couldn't stop looking at the man in front of him.
And he thanked whoever was attacking the city because if he kept looking at him, he will end up kissing him.
And it will all be very awkward since Barry's straight. Right?
"Um yeah... there's someone... attacking Central City's bank, so I should go" he pointed at the exit very nervous while he stood up.
But he was in fact mad and embarassed, because Oliver just kept ignoring him and taking slow sips of his coffee and he only waited for that stupid drink to end so he could focus on him; but now there was a meta attacking his city and screwing his date with Oliver.
"Yeah, you should" he nodded at he saw him turning around and leaving. Two seconds later he reacted and went behind him "You know what?" He grabbed Barry's shoulder "I think I can go and... you know... watch you make your move"
Barry's excited smile came again as they were out of Jitters and walking in the alley. Oliver couldn't resist anymore and slammed the younger man against a wall; but Barry was who wrapped his arms around the archer's neck and kissed him.
Disagreeing with his body, the blue eyed man stopped the kiss "Are you sure you want this? I mean... you're straight"
Barry rolled his eyes "Ollie, shut the fuck up" he pulled the blonde again to his lips.
They really don't know how many hours they spent but the only thing that could interrupt them was an incoming insistent call from Cisco.
Barry finally answered and before he could say anything, Cisco demanded "Both of you. Cortex. Right now!"
Oliver, who heard everything due to how close they were, couldn't help but smile and kiss Barry again.
This exact moment, he thought, was the first time he ever felt this happy.
At the cortex, Oliver was still wrapping Barry's hips with his arms.
"Where were you?!" Frost yelled.
Cisco who seemed very serious before looking at the detail, sighed and covered his face "While you two lovebirds were busy, Frost, Ralph and I saved the entire city!"
"But you did it!" Barry raised his hands, trying to congratulate them.
None of them knew who wanted to punch Barry more.
"I really hope it was worth it" Cisco mumbled with his face still covered.
"Oh believe me..." Oliver smirked and looked at Barry "It was"
