Chapter Text
It was a slow day today. No metahuman activity for at least two hours and the whole team was bored.
You and Cisco were throwing a ball across the Cortex, Cait was talking to Harry and Barry was just sitting at the main desk and watched you and Cisco. Well he was watching you 99% of the time but tried not to make it obvious. Suddenly an alert rung through the lab.
“ Breached opened at the speedlab.”
You all made your way down. When you got there you stopped in your tracks. Barry’s look alike stood before you. But it wasn’t Barry you instantly knew who it was just from looking into his eyes. Also the fact he was wearing his Dalton uniform. This was your long time friend, the one and only Sebastian Smythe.
“ Bas!”
“ y/n/n.”
You ran to him and right into his arms. He wrapped his hands around you and for a moment you forgot about the world around you.
“ I missed you Bas.”
“ I missed you too.”
Once you stopped hugging each other you introduced him to everyone. They seemed to be entriqued by Sebastian except for Barry. He looked wary and judgemental.
“ So how is it that you call y/n by that nickname? When I called her that once she almost killed me for it?”
Cisco asked.
Bas smiled and answered.
“ Because I am the only one who is allowed to call her that. Same as only she can call me Bas. I’m glad that it stayed our thing.”
He looked at you and smirked.
“ It’s something just between us and it will stay that way.”
As the day past you were catching up with Sebastian and were oblivious to Barry’s jealous eyes on you.
“ He’s quite a charmer isn’t he? Y/n seems to like him. I say there will be no better time for you to confess your feelings. Before it’s too late.”
“ I don’t know what you’re talking about Harry.”
“ Sure you don’t. Don’t mess it up Barry.”
“ Hey what do say guys karaoke night? I’d love to sing with Bas again.”
“I’m in. Never miss the opportunity to sing with you love.”
Sebastian smiled and winked. You blushed and it didn’t go unnoticed by Barry.
“ I’m in too.”
He said quickly.
Everyone except Harry agreed and that’s how you found youurslef in the karaoke bar and on stage with Sebastian an hour later.
You sang his favourite song Glad you came as a duet. Once you were done Bas took your hand and led you to the dance floor. You danced for a while and you could lose yourself in his eyes.
The moment you heard Barry’s voice through the microphone you glanced at the stage where he was standing.
“ This song is for a very special girl who I love for a long time and didn’t have the courage to tell her. So this is me saying I love you y/n.”
As Barry sang the words of Ed Sheerans song Perfect. You stopped dancing and just stared at him.
“ Damm I thought I’ll be faster than him.”
You chuckled because you knew he actually couldn’t be faster if he tried Barry is the Flash after all.
“ In what? Telling me you love me too?”
“ Yes exactly.”
You looked back at Sebastian with schock.
“ What?”
“ I love you and I wanted to tell you tonight but I guess he was faster. I don’t expect you to feel the same. I just wanted you to know.”
You didn’t know what to say. You had two guys who may look the same but are completely different confess their love for you and you didn’t know what to do.
You closed your eyes and let yourself listen to the song for a moment. When you opened them you knew what to do. You know what your heart wanted. What you wanted or who you wanted.
You hugged Sebastian and apologized. He was your friend and nothing more. Barry however was a different story.
When the song ended and he walked down the stage you went to him and before he had a chance to speak you kissed him.
When you parted the schock was evident on his face.
“ I love you Bartholomew Henry Allen. I love you.”
