The premise of the meme is simple. Two characters, lovers, have been separated for a time. How long is up to you, as is the reason for the separation. Was it unwilling - an imprisonment, a required journey - or because of a choice one of the characters made? The reason may, of course, color the reunion, and somebody may be pretty miffed, with good reason. Still, the theme is the same: intimacy after being apart.
This meme is mostly geared towards being a smut meme, but nobody will judge you for just doing so heavy fluff.
Len shakes his head. "No it's not," he admits softly, "I'd love nothing
more myself Scarlet. But Iris and Eddie have been planning this forever and
it isn't fair to them to be selfish...and that's me saying that."
Barry smiles softly and sighs. "Well, guess we better get this day started. I'll see you this evening." He says cleaning up and then kissing Len gently. He really wishes he could just stay right here...they both deserve this...even if they can't have it.
Len kisses Barry back lightly. "See you tonight Scarlet," he says his voice
warm, "try to stay out of trouble okay? This is supposed to be a vacation
not another mission."
"Don't jinx it." Barry murmurs softly and then he heads back to the bedroom to get dressed before speeding out to go get his tux.

It's been an exceedingly long and draining day. Fun! But draining. He's stifling a yawn when he settles into a booth next to Len at CC Jitters later that evening. There aren't that many people around just yet, it's early still. Soon though he knows the place will be full as family and the wedding party gather for the meal following the wedding rehearsal that had just finished.
"Hey." Barry says softly, smiling warmly. "Missed you today."
Len was sitting a bit tense in the booth and he relaxes when he sees Barry
Things with the Legends have been interesting today. Between Martin and Jax
trying to figure out where Firestorm was going to end up and Mick being
sulky because Len was thinking of leaving the ship. Not to mention the
romantic nonsense between Nate and Ayama. It was giving him a headache. He
smiles at Barry. "Hey there Scarlet," he says dropping his voice to a
whisper, "you survived the male bonding experience," he teases lightly.
"Eh, it wasn't so bad. I would have rather spent the day with you of course, but there are worse things to do than spend time with my soon to be brother in law and friends." Barry smiles and kisses his cheek. "You look like you had a somewhat rough day...you have that forehead crease you get when you're stressed." He says gently running his thumb over said crease in a loving and tender way.
"It was a rough day," Len admitted, "I forget sometimes how hard it is to
be around people younger than me and Mick combine." He chuckles and leans
in to kiss Barry deeply. He pulls back. "Sometimes the Legends can out
drama even Team Arrow and that's a feat." He pushes a glass of whiskey at
Barry and then reaches for his and takes a sip.
Barry furrows his brows in sympathy. He knows he's younger than Len but he knows Len isn't referring to him. He has to bite back the groan when he's kissed deeply and his eyes are full of stars and love when they do pull apart.
"Thanks." He says when he picks up the glass of whiskey. He goes to take a sip before stopping and looking back up at Len. "Is this speedster whiskey or regular?"
"Regular with a few drops of your special booze," Len replies with a wicked
smile, "don't want you completely down for the count, but you deserve to
have fun tonight. It's been a rough few months for you too Scarlet
remember."
Len's teasingly wicked smile always makes his body do interesting things. He loves this man so much. Truly.
He takes a sip of the drink savoring the rich flavor and the slight burn. It fills him with warmth of a different sort and he sets the tumbler down and leans to rest his head on Len's shoulder. "I try not to think about whats happened too much because it makes me a sad and depressed Barry and I can't afford that right now."
Len feels his heart throb and he takes a bigger sip of his drink letting
the burn of the whiskey travel down his throat. "I thought I was the one
who hid how he was really feeling," he says his tone still teasing lightly.
Then he lets it even out. "Barry...it's okay. Don't bottle up. The world
needs the Flash remember?"
"Huh, oh no, I didn't mean it like that. I mean that I just try not to dwell on it. I get low like everyone else and I try to make sure I you about it even if I don't tell everyone else. Sometimes I think the rest of the team forgets about Barry and only thinks about the Flash, but you've never done that. I'm grateful for it.
Len knows the feeling. He knows most of the other heroes who aren't Legends
tolerate him because he's important to Barry and he's okay with that. He is
who he is and if he's being honest he is tolerating them too. Len does not
suffer fools and with few reasons and he knows several of the heroes here
tonight have some massive growing up to do. "We argue because that's what
people do," he says. "like I said keeping things in doesn't do anyone any
good and I'd rather have it out in the open then wonder if you are mad at
me....though maybe we need to get a little more private with our
arguments."
Without thinking about it Len pulls a Speedster bar out of his jacket
pocket and pushes it at Barry as all conversation drops away and Felicity
Smoak and Oliver Queen bring their relationship drama to a head in public.
Len winces and resists the urge to walk over and punch Oliver in the face
for his horrible timing. He gives in to the urge to curse though because he
likes Felicity and no means no. "I think dinner might be a little delayed,"
he mutters.
Barry literally face palms when Felicity screams out that she doesn't want to marry Oliver and everyone goes quiet looking at the two. Honestly...he can't take them anywhere.
"He is the king of self sabotage." Barry murmurs. "He hides everything from her and then gets upset that she gets mad about it. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a kid somewhere that only he knows about..." he grumbles even as he takes a bite from the energy bar.
