Chapter Text
Y/n looked at their partner. What did he mean? Talk? About what? Barry sighed deeply. “Y/n..” he began. “So I’ve been to a therapist at the hive right? And we were taking about.. y’know.. us.” He took a shaky breath. “Listen, I love you, I really do, but, I just.. I don’t think we are going to work.” Y/n was silent. They mulled over what Barry said in they’re head. Worry filled barry. “WAIT WAIT it’s not you, you- i men your great- your better than great- it’s just because, well, we’re different species and all, and well, we are to different and- wait why are you laughing?”
Y/n had doubled over in silent laughter. Barry’s jaw dropped. “What the hell y/n! There is nothing funny about this situation!” He shouted. Y/n wiped a tear from their face. “No Barry, there nothing funny, it’s just… there something I need to say too. Im asexual and aromatic.” Barry’s jaw fell to the floor. He shook his head to gather h in himself. “B-but you- we were just- I- you- WHAT?” Y/n took a breath to recollect themself. “I was afraid you’d be mad, so I thought a kiss might soften the blow. Im sorry for not telling you earlier.I sort of knew it’d come to this. I was in denial of my sexuality, and I thought dating you would… fix me, I guess. I love you too barry, but in a friendship way.” They smiled softly. Barry grinned and stretched out his hand. “Friends?” Y/n mirrored his grin and shook Barry’s hand.
“Friends.”
