Description
Oliver Queen was known as the billionaire playboy heartbreaker before his time on the island after the shipwreck that took his father's life. When he returned to Starling City, he made it his mission to clear up the city's corrupt businesses and politicians as well as crime as the vigilante, the Arrow. The moment Barry Allen stumbled awkwardly into his life with his big brown innocent eyes and awkward smile barely two years ago, Oliver fell in love. Since discovering that the girl of his dreams was in love with someone else, Barry was afraid to open his heart and fall in love again. But Barry isn't alone and Oliver tries to get him to see that he loves him and would do almost anything for him. Barry will have to learn to open his heart up once more and maybe, just maybe, Oliver Queen can make him love again. Because without pain or suffering, what is love? *Excerpt From Story* Barry stared up at Oliver, who surprisingly was a head taller than him. He noticed just how close the other man really was, their faces a hairsbreadth away from each other. "Barry, you're not alone. You will never be alone. I will always be here, come hell or high water, through the ups and downs, because I love you." Oliver said firmly but gently. Barry realizes that Oliver would never leave him, never abandon him alone. He comes to the revelation that if Oliver loves him, then he should try to reciprocate them because deep down, he knows he loves Oliver. But he can't bring himself to force the feelings out, in words and in action. Barry stares up at him, his hazel/green eyes with unshed happy tears. He reaches up and places a hand on Oliver's cheek, smiling through his emotional pain. "Then make me love you."
