Chapter 1

Blaine meets Barry Allen


Blaine Anderson wandered the streets of Central City. Cooper had an audition and for some reason had dragged Blaine with him into it.

Apparently, it was a gay role. And he needed inside tips on "acting the part". It was insulting.

But Cooper had tried bribed him with a whole year's subscription for Vogue magazine. Then he used the "do it because I'm your brother" card. And his mother had been informed of the trip and all but forced him to go with his brother. Hence why he was stuck in the busy looking city known as Central City with no one but his brother for company.

He found a place not far from the apartment he and his brother were staying that sells pretty good coffee. The employees were pretty nice and the coffee reminded him of Lima Bean back in Ohio.

He placed his order and found himself a seat at the back waiting for his coffee.

Jitter's was pretty big and seemed to be packed like it was every morning. But thankfully not as much as the first day Blaine entered the store.

He fingered his phone in my hand. It's been a while since he's contacted anyone from the good old days. Other than Kurt, he barely see any of the New Directions or even the Warblers. So much for brotherhood.

A pretty African American waitress started to head towards his direction with coffee and a muffin in hand.

"One Medium Drip and a Blueberry Muffin." She said placing his order gently on the table.

"Thanks."

"You seem loss in thought." She said. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah." Blaine said smiling at her.

"You're new here aren't you?" she asked. "I haven't seen you around."

"Yeah." Blaine replied. "My brother moved in an apartment nearby and dragged me here. And I am bored."

"It's not that bad." She reassured with a smile. "Hey if you want I can ask my friend to take around. Show you the sights."

Blaine hesitated. This was just some random girl from the coffee shop. But she did seem nice.

"I'm not sure if…"

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't even introduce myself." She muttered. "It would be weird to let someone take you out somewhere when you don't know their name. I'm Iris."

"Blaine." He replied. "Uhm, no offence, your very pretty and all. But I am gay and I have a boyfriend."

"Oh, I don't mean me." she said. "My best friend, Barry knows the sights more than I do. He's straight though. He's bound to get here some time soon."

"It's fine though." Blaine said. "Thanks for the offer but I'd be fine."

"I'll just wait for Barry then." Iris said. "He'd gladly do it. Please consider it. It would be a terrible waste to spend your whole time here just sitting and drinking coffee."

Blaine sighed there is no going around this girl is there? "Sure. I'd love to meet this Barry."

"Great." She said happily "I'll call him, He's late. He's supposed be here to help me, but that could wait till later."

Blaine was about to protest but Iris had already left dialing frantically to her phone. Blaine just sighed and took a sip off his mug.

Switch to Blaine POV

I ended up staying in the coffee shop for about an hour. I had nothing better to do anyways. But around ten thirty a familiar face entered the coffee shop. Sebastian Smythe. He stumbled through the door catching Iris' attention.

"Barry!" Iris scolded. "Your late I called you like an hour ago."

"I'm sorry." Sebastian said panting but a goofy smile plastered on his face. "The Captain wanted me to examine the blood sample last night and I fell asleep in the lab."

"Well, I'll get you a cup of coffee but first I need to introduce you to someone." Iris dragged Sebastian towards my table. Sebastian looked at me and his eyes widened.

"Barry, this is Blaine. Blaine this is my friend Barry."

"Barry Allen." Sebastian said with an innocent look on his face offering his hand.

"Blaine Anderson." I replied shaking his hand.

"I'll let you two get acquainted." Iris said then went to another customer.

"What are you doing here?" Sebastian whispered.

"My brother has an audition." I said. "What are you doing here, and what is with this 'Barry Allen' business, Sebastian?"

"Look," Sebastian said firmly. "My High School life is a long story and I don't think that we should discuss this here."

"Just tell me why should I believe you." I said narrowing my eyes. "Last time I trusted you, I got slushied into the face."

"First, that slushie was for Kurt." Sebastian argued. "And second the last time you trusted me for something was the proposal."

"Just tell me why?" I said. "And what is with you and Iris. Last I remember you were gay."

"The second part will have to be answered in private." Sebastian whispered. "The first you can probably figure out."

"What?"

"Well you went to Dalton." Sebastian said crossing his arms. "You tell me."

"Here you go, Barry." Iris said handing him a paper cup. "The usual."

"Thanks" Sebastian said with a smile. A genuine smile.

"You two looked like you were having a heated argument." Iris said. "Do you two know each other?"

"Uh…"

"Yeah." Sebastian said. "Blaine and I were friends back in high school. He was one of Trent's friends from another school."

"Oh. Great." Iris said "So you can show Blaine around Central City to catch up."

"Iris, Joe needs me to…"

"I'll handle dad." Iris said. "You go do your bonding with old friends. Go Barry."

With that she took my empty mug and plate and almost forcibly dragged Sebastian to his feet.

"Well, you heard the lady." Sebastian said with a groan. "Come on, Killer."

~()~

Sebastian dragged me to one of the parks nearby not that far from the coffee shop. We were sitting on a bench near the pond.

"So you were bullied?"

"Yeah." He muttered squinting as he watched the ducks swim circles on the pond not meeting my eye. "I was never really fast enough."

"If that were the case, I would understand why you would go to Dalton." I said. "But why the name change, Sebastian."

He chuckled. "Not much of a change really."

"How?"

"I am Barry Allen." he said. "But I am also Sebastian Smythe."

"I still don't understand…"

"Look." Barry said cutting me off. "Sebastian is my past. I'm over it. I grew up. Just…" he sighed "Just don't tell Iris."

"You like her don't you."

Barry chuckled. But the smile fell off his face. "Is it that obvious?"

"I think I get it now." I said understanding. "Sebastian is your bitch mask. Your alter ego."

"Yeah, I guess you can put it that way." Barry said leaning back. "He's my Auntie Snixx."

"Well, for the record." I said standing "from what Iris told me. Barry Allen seems like a much more likable person than Sebastian ever was."

"Watch it killer." He said with a playful smirk. "You can't mess with my alter ego. It would be a total shame to let three years of bitching around go to waste."

I chuckled. "I'll keep that in mind."
