“Didn’t mean to scare you Thea. Oliver told me he wanted me to stop by, but apparently he’s not here.”

“Got called to City Hall to deal with mayor things. You know how important his line of work is.” Thea smiles, releasing from the hug and walking back to the bow she placed down. She moved one of the paintings on the wall, revealing a small slot just big enough to fit a bow.

“Exactly how many bows do you guys have hiding in here? Because I’ve found at least 4” Barry laughs, watching the younger archer return the piece to its original place. A chuckle came from the brunette as she walked back over to her surprising house guest.

“I’d say somewhere around 7. Can never be too prepared, being all the shit that has happened in this apartment.”

“Truer words have never been spoken” The two laugh as Thea leads them to the living room.

“Well, being Ollie won’t be back for awhile, up for another Speed Team movie night?” Thea laughs, signalling toward the TV.

“Is that even a question. I get to pick though, because we are not watching Legally Blonde for the 400th time”

“Oh boo!” Barry only laughed before selecting the movie and putting it in before finding a seat on the sofa with Thea, who was already throwing blankets on top of them both.

Oliver released an irritated sigh as he approached his apartment, still unraveling from an obnoxiously long meeting at City Hall. He had called Barry from Central so he could actually spend quality time with his boyfriend, not to be pulled into an abyss of arguing politicians. He placed a key in the door and stopped at the sound of voices coming from inside. Moving quickly, Oliver opened the apartment door and got inside, before closing the door and relocking it. The noise continued to emit from the living room.

“Thea? Barry?” He called hesitantly, moving with caution toward the living room. He poked his head around the corner only for all nerves to wash over him. A small chuckle escapes Oliver at the sight he sees. The TV continues to replay the title menu to a movie as he moves toward the sofa. Barry is buried in between the back and arm of the sofa, head resting against the top with his eyes closed, breathing steady, hand resting atop Thea’s arm, whose head was resting atop the speedster’s lap. Oliver smiled before walking toward the back of the sofa, and placing a kiss on the top of Barry’s head. The speedster churns ever so slightly, eyes barely opening, allowing the speedster to see Oliver standing above him.

“Hey you…” Barry mumbles, sleep still very obvious in his voice as he reached a hand up to touch the archer’s cheek. Oliver cupped Barry’s hand and gently placed a kiss on the back of it, smiling against it.

“Hey yourself. Sorry I wasn’t here when you were” Oliver whispers softly, not wanting to wake Thea, who was still happily asleep on Barry’s lap.

“Don’t be. Being mayor is important, and besides, I got to have another movie night with Thea, so all is good” Barry mumbles back, taking a bit longer to wake up because of how comfortable he was on the couch.

“You have no idea how happy it makes me that you and Thea get along so well. Let’s just say my track record with Thea and who I date aren’t the best.” Another sleepy smile came from Barry, as Oliver moved around the couch so he was kneeling next to the arm rest, and in a better position to kiss Barry on the lips. It was a very short and sweet kiss, but it held a lot more emotions than most would convey. “I’ve missed you, Bare.”

“And I’ve missed you too, Ollie. Now, as much as I would love to cuddle up with you right now, I don’t want to risk the wrath of waking Thea early” Oliver chuckles at the speedster’s comment, fully aware that Barry could easily phase out of that situation. Instead, Oliver gently lifts his sister’s head and shifts her over a few inches, allowing Oliver to slip into the small gap and replace Thea’s head on his own lap.
