Hartley Rathaway | The Flash

[timetopaythepiper]

1. I meant to type that i went to that party for shits and giggles, but my phone corrected me and said for shots and goggles...either one works

2. Found you in the bushes with fireworks, a teacup and no shoes. Decided it was a bad time to wake you.

3. I've just had my first cup of coffee in a month and I moaned at the first drink and honestly I think this is the most sexual experience I've had in 6 months

4. Drunk Hartley makes promises that sober Hartley can't keep.

5. I let him fuck me in a batman costume. Don't talk to me about needing to read fifty shades of grey.

3, I'm so sorry Hartley

[harrisonwells]

How many levels of sad are you estimating this is? I can think of three.

[timetopaythepiper]

[Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to put Harry's number in his phone? God, this is weird.]

Stop judging. I've had other priorities lately, and you'd be surprised by how satisfying a cup of coffee can be after going without for weeks.

[harrisonwells]

[Cisco Ramon, apparently, since Hartley's name had also come up on Harrison's phone. The conspiracy goes deep.]

Going without for weeks is the second level of sad. What gave you that idiotic idea?

[timetopaythepiper]

[Thanks a lot, Cisco.]

My doctor. She thought I should cut down. Clearly she was wrong. I'm never going without again.

[harrisonwells]

I'd hope not. Surprised you went without for that long. Welcome back.

Now all you need to do is acknowledge the superiority of Big Belly Burger.

[timetopaythepiper]

I'm rather surprised myself. It was pretty intolerable.

But Big Belly Burger is a mess. Not even body snatcher Harrison could convince me to eat there and I almost always listened to him.

body snatcher Harrison. literally the best.

[harrisonwells]

And it slowed you down. I noticed. [He just hadn't mentioned it apparently, for whatever reason.]

You need to loosen up. I don't usually say that to other people.

[timetopaythepiper]

Of course it slowed me down. My performance tends to suffer when I'm exhausted and caffeine deprived.

I can't believe you of all people think I need to loosen up. But okay, I'll make you a deal. I'll loosen up if you do.

Drunk Hartley definitely talks a lot more than I expected. And is cuddlier. Than I expected.

[timetopaythepiper]

I was cuddly? I'm almost afraid to ask... but who or what exactly did I cuddle?

[scarletstreak]

Sort of the Flash? I mean, I had the mask off, but I don't think you noticed, you never actually called me Barry. So, the Flash.

[timetopaythepiper]

I'm not sure there's a difference, but did I ever actually refer to you as Flash while this was happening?

And more importantly, why did you let this happen?

[scarletstreak]

Well you were talking about the Flash but in the third person, while actually hugging me at the same time, so I don't really know how to answer that one.

I don't know, you looked comfy?? You were smiling. Clearly it wasn't awful. I didn't think it was that awful.

[timetopaythepiper]

Well, that's a bit disconcerting. I hope you took that as a sign that you couldn't take anything I said or promised seriously.

So I suppose apologizing is unnecessary, then? Since you apparently didn't mind the random cuddling.

[scarletstreak]

What, no, obviously, of course not! We can definitely just forget it ever happened. I probably don't need a stealth suit anyway.

But for the record, now that you won't just tell me I'm wrong and I definitely do, I don't hate you. As the Flash or as Barry.

[timetopaythepiper]

I promised you a stealth suit?

Okay, no promises, but I'll see what I can do. It might be a fun challenge.

As for the other thing, thank you for the assurance. It sounds like I was an embarrassing mess. No one else witnessed me behaving like that, I hope?

[granularity]

It is never a bad time to wake me.

[timetopaythepiper]

Waking you wouldn't have been nearly as amusing.

I took pics instead.

[granularity]

See if I make you coffee tomorrow morning.

[ Which is literally the most ridiculous threat ever since he always makes a full pot pretty much nonstop. But. He won't bring a cup to Hartley in bed. So there. Clearly. ]

I could have saved you the trouble and just shown you my old uniform. That's embarrassment for days.

[timetopaythepiper]

Yeah, I'm calling your bluff. You're going to make coffee AND you're going to show me your old uniform. And it'll take minimal convincing.

[Because Hartley is good at getting his way, and there's something especially satisfying about getting his way with Sandy.]

Come to the bedroom when you get home. We'll... talk.

[granularity]

You're lucky I happen to find bossy attractive.

And it's cute that you think I haven't translated dot dot dot talk.

[timetopaythepiper]

There's plenty about me you find attractive, but I'll admit, I'm very lucky you don't mind bossiness.

I was counting on you to translate it. It's how I know I'll be seeing you in the bedroom before too long.

[granularity]

Well, as long as you acknowledge that. I suppose I can live through the humiliation of showing another person the old red and yellow.

Didn't feel like being gauche over text or just like keeping me guessing as to what I'm going to be walking into?

[timetopaythepiper]

Any chance you'll be wearing it? And can I take pics?

Perhaps a little bit of both?
