unexpected turn of events.

Barry would be there in seconds flat, so he stalled.  And then stalling turned into checking over what he was wearing and that turned into ten minutes of changing clothes over and over, during which Axel came to sit on his bed and give opinions that turned into conversation- and twenty minutes at least have gone by before Barry makes it to the door.  He has no idea how long it takes Blaine to get where he was going but he suspects his own timing was either perfect or horrible, as always.

When he gets there he’s still a bit jittery, but he’s not too bad at hiding that.  Really he should be better at it by now; he hid his secret identity as a criminal and as the Flash but his nerves were on his sleeve almost every last time.  He can’t help but think that was something he missed about Sebastian.  The mask wasn’t good for him to keep, but god it was easier in public to never embarrass himself like he does now.
Regardless.
Once he’s spotted Blaine. Barry tries to shake it all off, making his way over with a bit of a smile on his face.  “Hey.”

Halfway into his drink–Blaine’s heels begin to bob against the rungs of his stool nervously. What–exactly–did Sebastian have to tell him that was such a struggle that their conversation was ended so abruptly?  In such a cryptic manner, too.  If this was a rehash of mistakes made?  He wasn’t going to let Sebastian focus on the poor choices he made during high school.  As far as he was concerned? They moved past that long before they graduated.

Bringing it up now was just picking at scars that were already faded.  Not even close to old wounds. Not when there wasn’t even a wood to be considered.  Regardless of his silent questioning–the answer came soon.  Hearing Sebastian’s voice–hazel eyes were drawn up and a smile greeted his friend.  No matter what Sebastian had to say–it felt good to lay eyes on him and have his company after going so long without.  “Hey.”
Fingertips moved from the side of his glass and motioned to the seat next to him.  “First rounds on me.  You know I’m going to ask you what that was about, don’t you? I think that was the first time you ever hung up on me.”
