THE ROOMMATES MEME

Perhaps you were best friends who decided to make rent cheaper by living together, a couple who took the plunge and moved in together, or you could just be some random people thrown together by circumstance and really needing a place to live.

Either way, you're sharing a flat (or maybe even a room) now! What's going to happen?

You know this drill:
- Post your character name, series and any preferences.
- Go to RNG (1-11) and tag around.
- Have fun!

PROMPTS:
( the dishes in the sink )
The classic. Your flatmate just can't do the damn dishes. Are you annoyed? Do you confront them? Hell, perhaps you're just as lazy.

( the house party )
A staple of college/university life (and beyond). Break out the drink, tell people to bring their own beer because it's time to get messy! ... Oh, wait, you didn't know people were infiltrating your flat tonight? My bad.

( the move in )
Someone's moving into your place! Quick, help them! Or stand and laugh while they struggle upstairs.

( the noisy one )
Is there anything worse than paper thin walls and a noisy flatmate? You can hear everything they're doing... even (or especially) the TMI.

( the friendly one )
Oh, lucky you, you've scored someone who wants to try and make things as good as possible for you both! Don't waste this now. It might just be the greatest thing you could have.

( the tmi one )
OH GOD why did you walk in during that? Nope, backing out now... unless you're into that. Why do they keep telling you things, as well? Gosh.

( the disaster )
There's not even words. These are the ones the internet warned you about. A little TMI or noise? That is nothing compared to the crazy you're stuck with right now.

( the tv night )
Movies, TV marathons, whatever you like. You and your flatmate are going to hunker down with some popcorn and have fun.

( the fight )
Aww, darn. Is it not working out? Finally having to confront a crazy, or tell your other half that this is going to hell in a handbasket? Good luck, man.

( the shopping )
Whether you're going for groceries or furniture (or fun!), you and your flatmate are hitting the shops and spending some cash.

( the other )
Thought of something not on here? Go for it! Mix and match your options or anything else!

Snart explored Barry's mouth with interest that wasn't in the least bit feigned. He hadn't cared much for that Russian chick, but this was far more exciting. Barry was more than just a mark, though Snart couldn't put a finger on what Barry was to him, these days. He was definitely something - not a friend, not a partner, no Leonard couldn't go there right now, not after discovering what he had done to Rory. He just didn't deserve that, not anymore.

Eventually, he broke the kiss slowly, lingeringly, with a little nibble to Barry's lower lip. Yes, he was far from some shrinking violet. His father hadn't ruined him for this, as much as that asshole might have tried. Take that, Barry.

"Anything bothering you?" he purred, smugness exuding from every pore.

[chosenbylightning]

"No," he answers after a moment. The kiss had left him dazed and just a little bit breathless. This was going to be a long week with temptation like this right before him.

"We.. um. We should go." And he absolutely has to remove himself from the situation before he vibrates enough to give his desire away. "I'll get our paperwork filed in the office."

Barry is gone with a rush of wind, making sure that all of their documentation is in order before flashing back to the little room they're sharing. "There's a mixer tonight, we have at least another hour or two before then."

[coldlenny]

Leonard finds himself clutching at air as Barry suddenly flashes away. His lips twist wryly and he wanders about the room, waiting for the Flash to return. It seems to him that though Barry might claim nothing is wrong, that he is uncomfortable.

By the time Barry returns, he's sitting in the window seat in the window. Each couple has a little suite to themselves, with a sitting room and a bedroom. It's idyllic, and rustic outside, with a lake for swimming and a spa. A true retreat - and the last sort of place Len would ever go.

He looks up when Barry returns, arching a brow. "So what do you want to do until then?" His tone is cool, unsuggestive, even if the words could be taken as a suggestion that they resume their previous activities.

[chosenbylightning]

Better to remove himself from temptation, right? Because if things had kept progressing, he would have drug them both into the bedroom and damn the consequences. He hovers near the doorway, unsure. The room is comfortable and bright and there's a good chance that he'd probably knock down a dozen strangers to get a shot at the spa for a massage.

What? Being a hero is hell on a guy's back.

"We could take a look around? See what the place looks like?" The suggestion is awkward, but he's not entirely sure what else to do. With a sigh, Barry closes the door. "Look. It's been a long time. I haven't.. been with anyone since the lightning."

[coldlenny]

Leonard watches him with a measured gaze. He is a little surprised by the admission, though. Hadn't he had a girlfriend? More than one, in fact. Leonard does keep track of these things, along with everything else he can find out about Barry. You never know when a detail can be helpful.

He turns that comment over in his mind, analyzing it. After a moment, he sighs and leans his head against the wall, looking out the window. "Barry, you're a sweet guy. You want to be friends? I suppose I've got no choice." He draws a breath. "This is a mission. It can be one where we have a little fun, or we can keep things professional. It won't hurt my feelings, either way. But I meant what I said earlier - you don't want to be my friend, I promise you. Remember how you felt after I betrayed you the last time, and released all those prisoners? I don't suppose you want to feel that way again, unless you're a lot more interesting in the sack than I ever thought." He turns his eyes to look at Barry. "Are you a masochist?"

[chosenbylightning]

"No." Even if others might take issue with that answer. "I want to be friends because I have faith that you're more than who you try and claim to be. There's good in you, Len. I know there is."

He moves a little deeper into the room, trying to act more confident than he felt. "The reason I haven't been with anyone is because of my powers. What I can do. Sometimes I vibrate," he chews at the corner of his lip. "And I have almost no refractory period."

"But you already know about me, about who I am." Maybe Len could help him scratch that proverbial itch and Barry could show him what it's like for someone to have faith in him.

[coldlenny]

"God, Barry, you're a living fleshlight," Len groaned, closing his eyes. That sounded great, and he had no particular reason to hold back. Why Barry sounded so nervous, he couldn't imagine. Who wouldn't want what he had to offer?

But the constant litany about how good Leonard was, was grating. He opened his eyes again and looked at him. "But you need to know. Mick betrayed us. He wanted to go home, but I didn't stand by him, and I was afraid if we returned him to this time, that he'd hurt people. I stranded him in the middle of nowhere, instead of just killing him, like I should have done. Like everyone assumed I would. And apparently I never went back for him. He nearly died, then was captured, and tortured for hundreds of years, and turned against us, and now all he wants in life is to make me suffer. My fault. All of it."

He paused, to catch his breath. He hadn't meant to say all that, not in that raw tone. He hunched his shoulders and looked away again. "I've got no reason to believe I won't wind up hurting you just as badly. Mick was my best friend."

[chosenbylightning]

Equating him to a sex toy only earns him an exasperated eyeroll. Leave it to someone else to boil it down to that. Dick.

But mention of what happened to Mick gets an empathetic look and Barry moves closer. He wants to reach out, to touch Len again and offer what comfort he can with his presence. "You didn't kill him because you're better than that. You wouldn't have left Mick to that if you had known it would have gone that way." He has faith in Snart, in the good that he's seen in him so far.

"I'm sorry." His hand drifts to rest on his shoulder. "But I have faith in you."

[coldlenny]

Leonard flinches a little when Barry rests his hand on his shoulder, then looks up, baffled. "You're a real piece of work, you know that? You think it matters whether I'm better? What I would have done if I'd known?"

He got up, stepped towards Barry, physically crowding him, his expression fierce and raw and pained. "The fact is, the one person who I always could count on wants me dead. Him and I, against the world, that was what it should have been. But I betrayed that to play hero, to be good, and save the world, instead of being selfish like him. I did what you would have wanted me to do, and it blew up in my face!"

[chosenbylightning]

"You put your faith in someone and they made a different decision. Sounds familiar," Barry doesn't back down when Snart crowds in angrily, doesn't give an inch of ground. "Sounds like when I came to you for help with the metas in the pipeline and it bit me in the ass."

"But I still had faith in you. That you'd be more than what your past defined you as. I still do. I'm sorry things went wrong with Mick. I can't imagine how much that hurts, but I know you'll find a way to set things right."

[coldlenny]

Snart gave him a look that was as much exasperation as anger. Who did he think he was, Captain America? "You sound like a fucking cartoon hero," he hissed, his hands clenched into fists at his sides.

He wanted to kiss him, so badly, and he hated that he wanted it.

[chosenbylightning]

Barry won't dignify the snarl with a reply, he still has his faith in Len and he's not going to give it up. "You know I'm right. It's why you went on the Waverider in the first place. To change your future, not your past. It doesn't have to define you."

As much as he wanted to kiss Snart, Barry is far more intent on clearing the air between them first.

[coldlenny]

Len glared at Barry, but was the first to look away. "I never wanted this," he muttered sadly. "I don't even know if I want to be a hero at all - even if it were possible, like you think."

[chosenbylightning]

Reaching out, Barry cups his face, drawing Snart into a brief kiss. "I know it's possible, and I know you're more than what your past has tried to make you."

"You're more than that. Better than that. You don't have to be a hero, but you can be so much more than a thief."

[coldlenny]

Leonard leans into the kiss, then lifts his hands to wrap his arms around Barry's neck and hold him close, a veritable purr in his throat as he responds. "Just what exactly is wrong with being a thief?"

[chosenbylightning]

Those long, agile fingers make him shiver as Barry follows him in for another kiss. "You could be so much more. You don't have to let your past define you."

Let me know if this is too god-mode-y and I'll edit

[coldlenny]

"You keep saying that." Len grabbed Barry by the shirt and turned him to the side, pushing him up against the wall and pressing himself close to him. He kissed him again, a bit more aggressively, his knee sliding between Barry's. "But what if I like who I am? What if I don't want to be more?"

Look at Barry objecting to being manhandled. Oh, wait.. :)

[chosenbylightning]

The quick and decisive movements steal Barry's breath as he's manipulated against the wall. Sure, if he wanted out he could break Len's hold, speed to the other side of the room, but he wanted this and he had no intention of fighting back.

The speedster groans into the kiss, melting against him as his hands fall to Snart's hips to drag him in closer. "Because you can be. You can be and I'm sure of it."

:3

[coldlenny]

Snart's irritation is mostly feigned. It's far too seductive and enjoyable to feel Barry responding to his manhandling. The speedster just isn't getting it, though. "I don't think there's anything wrong with who I am," he growls. "I'm proud of my skills and what I've accomplished in my life. Who are you to tell me it's not good enough?"

As he speaks, he slides a hand up Barry's shirt, gropes at his nipples and rubs them beneath his cool, slightly chapped fingers. His thigh rubs between Barry's legs, almost lifting the slighter man off his feet as he gropes him.

[chosenbylightning]

"That's not what I'm.. nnh!.." Barry's head falls back as skilled fingers find a nipple and pinch just hard enough to make his hips buck. God it's been such a long time. "That's not what I'm saying."

Much more of this and Snart is going to completely short-circuit his ability to form words.

"I'm saying you could be more."

[coldlenny]

Leonard snorts, a soft, dark chuckle. Maybe hr's the one who doesn't get it, but it also doesn't matter. What he really wants is to distract the speedster, and that seems to be working.

"You're living in a dreamworld," he purrs, voice rich with something like affection.

Leaving the nipple alone, he drops his hand down and opens Barry's fly. "Last chance to pull out," he murmurs. "I'm gonna make you have to change your pants."

[chosenbylightning]

He'll see it one day, what Barry sees in him. He has so much potential to do good in the world.

Then those nimble fingers slip down his stomach to his aching erection and he moans. "Not going anywhere," he asserts, pressing eagerly against him.

[coldlenny]

So far, doing good hasn't exactly worked out the way he might have hoped. Bank robbery was simple - heroing came with all these inconvenient sacrifices.

But maybe a few perks, too.

He kissed Barry, deeply and thoroughly again, then dropped to his knees and slipped a hand into his underwear, drawing his erection out of his pants.

[chosenbylightning]

The speedster's shoulders hit the wall with a thud as cool hands fish him out of his jeans and cool air hits overheated skin. Barry can't help the moan that slips free, his fingers shifting to stroke through his close-cropped hair. "Nnh. God Len.."

[coldlenny]

"Yessssss, that's it, let me hear you," Snart purred, though he licked and mouthed languidly over the head of Barry's cock between the words. "You know, I feel like this retreat is working already. Look how much cliser we've gotten."

With a soft laugh at his own joke, he bent his head to engulf the speedster's member and began to suck in earnest.
