***** Chapter 1 *****
Ray had only been going to Central High for two weeks and despite his vow to
focus on his studies, he already had a crush. It was on the school's resident
bad boy Leonard Snart, Len to his friends. Len was a senior and many of his
friends were outcasts like Mick Rory, who had been held back, with the
exception of Hartley Rathaway, who was the sort of kid who should’ve been
popular. Ray wasn’t sure why he wasn’t. But Len's best friend had to be
freshman Barry Allen. They were always hanging out and sharing food during
lunch. Barry was actually a pretty popular kid but he always chose to hang out
with Len.
 
Len was the type to skip class to break into a closed swimming pool to do god
knows what, while Barry was the type to try and stop him, fail, and go along
anyway to ‘keep him out of trouble.’ The only reason Barry didn’t get into
trouble was because even with the frequent class skipping he still managed to
get A’s. Len also managed to get A’s but while Barry’s were of the 110%
variety, Len’s tended to be on the border between A’s and B’s. Teachers
frequently tried to prove he was cheating but they always failed. The
difference between Barry and Len was that Barry’s foster dad was a detective
while Len’s father was a convicted criminal which, of course, created a lot of
bias, both among the students and among the teachers.
 
Ray thought Barry and Len were both cute. Very cute. Extremely, almost
illegally cute. If he could he’d date them both. But Ray was a good guy and he
would never do that two people, let alone two people who were as good of
friends as Barry and Len were. So he had to choose.
 
Barry was very adorable in that ruffled kind of way and normally Ray would go
for that nerdy type, but Barry was a popular kid who probably had tons of girls
and guys alike, asking him to the dance.
 
Len was cute in a sweep-you-off-your-feet, rebel-without-a-cause way that Ray
liked almost too much. Len was so devastatingly handsome that he probably had
just as many people asking him out.
 
In the end Ray picked Len because he’d heard around school that he was gay. It
could just be a slur, but Len was also the type to hunt down the origins of a
rumor to kick the ass of the person insinuating gay as a bad thing.
 
He waited until after school on a Friday, when most people would be eager to
get home as soon as possible, decreasing the chance of an audience. He lurked
near Len’s locker, waiting for him to get there. He had a flower hidden in his
backpack, and wasn’t sure if he should get it out or not. It might seem too
girly, or as though he thought Len was a girl, and he didn’t want to threaten
his masculinity. But Len seemed like the sort of person who seemed really
secure. What if the whole gay rumor was just something he allowed to continue
to prove how secure he was? No. Stay calm. It’d be fine. Len showed up, Mick,
Hartley and Barry in tow. That was a larger audience than Ray had hoped for,
but he was going to go for it. He decided against getting the flower out at the
last moment. “You’re standing in front of my locker, Boy Scout.”
 
“I know,” Ray said, stepping to the side to allow him to open it. “I was
wondering - would you like to go to the dance with me?”
 
Len was shocked and he looked over at Barry to see he was equally shocked but a
smile was starting to spread across his face. But before either of them could
say anything Hartley broke in.
 
“Are you an idiot, Ray Palmer?” Hartley sneered, “Because I heard you were
actually pretty smart despite being a benchwarmer for the soccer team.” Len
turned his head to scowl at Hartley but Hartley kept going.
 
“Because everyone knows that Len are Barry are dating,” he smirked and looked
Ray up and down judgingly, “I mean it was practically the scandal of the
century.”
 
“I-I didn’t kn-” Ray stuttered and his face turned an endearing shade of red
Len had only ever seen on Barry’s face before.
 
“How could you not? You were here when it happened,” Hartley cut in again, “Or
did you hit your head in practice and forget?” Hartley did this bitchy head bob
thing that always made Len want to smack him.
 
“Seriously,” Hartley kept going, “Why don’t you do us all a favor and just
leave. Bye.” He waved as Ray turned quickly on his heel and walked out of the
hall and self satisfied smile was plastered on his face.
 
Barry punched Hartley’s shoulder as hard as he could, “What the hell Hartley?!
Why are you such a dick today?”
 
Len was scowling at Hartley too, “Yeah Rathaway, what the hell?”
 
Hartley was confused. “I was sticking up for Barry, since neither of you were
doing it!”
 
“Maybe I didn’t  want  you to stick up for me!”
 
“What?”
 
“He’s cute!”
 
“You’re already dating Len, Barry!”
 
“And I think he’s cute too,” Len interjected, “So maybe let us sort this out
for ourselves?”
 
Mick, who had been watching the whole event unfold silently finally opened his
mouth, “Of course you two would think a third person in a relationship would be
a good thing.”
 
“Mick, you think just  two  people in a relationship is bad idea,” Len barked.
 
“That’s because it is. The only relationship I need is the one I have with
fire,” Mick grumbled.
 
“Is that what you’re calling Caitlin these days? That’s cute,” Lisa jeered,
coming up behind the group from down the hall.
 
Mick rolled his eyes at Lisa’s comment and then he sighed, “If you two both
like him you better go tell him, he went into the stairwell because Hartley
probably made him cry.”
 
“You made him  cry  -” Barry was indignant and he hit Hartley in the shoulder
again.
 
“Let’s go after him.” Len tugged Barry’s arm and pulled him towards the
stairwell.
 
 “What did Hartley do now?” Lisa asked.
 
“He made fun of that kid with the hair cut for asking Len to the dance,” Mick
replied as they both watched Len and Barry disappear behind the door to the
stairs.
 
“Aw, Ray? He’s so cute!” Lisa cooed, then she punched Hartley where Barry had
already hit him twice.
 
“Yeah, Barry and Lenny think so too,” Mick said, ignoring Hartley’s whines
about bruising.
 
“Awwww!”


Ray angrily wiped away tears. He tried, at least. All he was really doing was
getting the sleeves and the bottom of his shirt wet and smearing snot all over
his face. He wasn’t an attractive crier.
 
He ripped the flower out of his back pocket and started to tear the petals off
in angry clumps. He threw the clumps down the stairs in front of him and gave
up on wiping away his tears. Some of the petals stuck to his fingers and he was
angrily trying to shake them off when he heard a door open to the stairwell a
floor above him.
 
He frantically tried to wipe the snot and tears off his face but whoever had
opened the door, it sounded like two people, were already on their way down the
steps to where he was sitting. He hunched over trying to hide his face and felt
a hand gently touch his shoulder. He looked up surprised and a little bit
pissed that whoever it was wasn’t respecting his privacy but jolted when he saw
Len crouched in front of him looking concerned while Barry sat next to Ray
looking equally worried. Barry was the one with his hand on his shoulder.
 
“Ray,” Len said, his voice uncharacteristically soft. “Ignore Hartley. He’s
just -”
 
“- trying to help in an unhelpful way.” Barry finished.
 
“He means well -”
 
“ - but he doesn’t speak for us.”
 
“ Either  of us,” Len emphasized.
 
Ray’s brow furrowed in confusion, “W-what?”
 
“We want you to ask us again Ray,” Len said earnestly.
 
“What?” Ray was so confused, “What do you mean ‘ask us’? Why? So you can make
fun of me some more?” He was starting to get mad.
 
“No, of course not -” Barry seemed horrified.
 
“We just want you to ask  both  of us.”
 
“What do you mean  both  of you?” Ray calmed down minutely but was still on
edge. What could they possibly mean by both of them?
 
“We mean we both like you,” Len started.
 
“But you don’t have to ask again if you don’t want too,” Barry finished, and
Len whipped his head over to look at Barry.
 
“What do you mean he doesn’t have to? Yes he does!”
 
Barry put a placating hand on Len’s thigh, “Len, we don’t even know if he likes
me. What if he only likes you?”
 
Ray stared at the arguing couple with surprised befuddlement before he spoke
up, “I do like you,” they stopped arguing to look back at Ray, “Barry, I mean.
I like both of you.”
 
“Ask us again,” Len suggested.
 
“Really?” Ray sniffed, trying to wipe his hands off on his pants, still
surprised at this strange turn of events. He spotted the ruined flower laying
on the step in front of him and he picked it up, holding it out lamely, “Would
you like to go to the dance with me?”
 
“Yes,”

“Of course,” came the unison reply. Ray smiled, tears drying. Len and Barry
each reached out for what remained of the flower and held it between them.
***** Part 2 *****
Chapter Summary
     There's a dance and then Limo sex. Proceed with caution.
     A day early for Day 7 but I do not care.
Barry, Len, and Ray tumbled out of the limo he’d rented, laughing and giggling
(well, Ray and Barry were giggling, Len doesn’t giggle). Len waited for Barry
and Ray to calm down before holding out an elbow to each of them. “Shall we?”
 
Barry and Ray each took an elbow and together they chorused, “We shall.”
 
They spent the night dancing to fast songs; forcing Len to pose for ridiculous
photos, taken by a grinning Iris, for the yearbook; and trading off slow dances
between the three of them. It was during one of these slow dances, when it was
Ray’s turn to sit and guard Barry’s  six  plates of cake, when he finally had
time to reflect on his feelings about all of this. Len and Barry were dancing
on the edge of the floor near a few other couple’s like Hartley and Cisco.
===============================================================================
 
After he had asked them to the dance they hadn’t had much time to hang out but
Barry had texted him frequently over the week leading up to the dance. Ray
learned a lot about Barry by texting him and it only took Barry three days to
start texting him more intimately. Ray blushed every time he thought about it.
Len wasn’t much for texting but he always made sure Ray ate lunch with him and
Barry. Hartley had apologized, clearly reluctantly, but Mick welcomed him to
the group.
 
Almost immediately Barry started getting details for the dance hashed out with
Ray, with Len giving little input, and he picked out the color they would all
wear to match and order boutonnieres for the three of them. Ray was in charge
of the limo and Len was in charge of not getting himself banned from the dance.
 
The night of the dance they all met at Barry’s house (Len was already there)
and Barry produced three identical boutonnieres, all made from the same type of
flower Ray had given them when he asked them to the dance.
===============================================================================
 
Ray couldn’t believe his luck. He watched Barry and Len smiling at each other
while holding a soft conversation. Barry was speaking into Len’s ear directly
and they looked so intimate that Ray started to feel like a third wheel but
before he entertained the thought for very long, Barry stopped whispering to
Len and turned his head to stare over at Ray with a fond expression on his
face, and Ray felt warm down to his bones. No, he wasn’t a third wheel.
 
Len noticed Barry was looking at something so he turned his head too and smiled
when he saw Ray. But rather than keep looking at Ray, he winked at him before
he grabbed Barry’s chin and pulled him into a fierce kiss. Suddenly Ray was
feeling warm for entirely different reasons. Then Barry broke off the kiss,
walked over, and kissed Ray. It was the first time they’d kissed. Barry broke
off the kiss again, and Ray felt a different pair of lips attach to his. He
opened his eyes, when had he shut them, and saw Len. He closed his eyes again.
 
 
Len broke the kiss just after a while and he grabbed Barry and Ray by the arm,
dragging them towards the door. Mr. Wells glared at them suspiciously but went
back to watching his daughter with her date like a hawk.
 
“But my cake,” Barry had the gall to whine and Len growled, “I’ll buy you six
entire cakes Barry, c’mon.” Barry stopped protesting, apparently appeased. Len
lead them out to the parking lot where the limo they had taken sat, abandoned.
Len let go of Barry to wrench open the door and he pushed Barry in and then
helped Ray get in after him. Len got in and shut the door behind him and turned
to see Ray and Barry staring at him puzzled. “They would be puzzled, these
two,’ Len thought.
 
He grabbed Ray and hauled him over to sit on the other side so Len was in the
middle and then he pulled Ray into a deep, filthy kiss. Ray whimpered and
gasped, his hands shakily reaching out to grab Len’s jacket lapels. Len felt
Barry slide up behind him and suddenly Barry’s lips were pressed to a spot
behind his ear that sent off fireworks.
 
As soon as they were there they were gone again and Barry was sliding a hand
down the front of Len’s chest and purring into his ear, “Let me get a turn,
Len. You barely let me kiss him in the gym.” Len growled into Ray’s mouth and
nipped his lower lip as he pulled away and sat back. Barry leaned across Len’s
body, placing a hand dangerously close to his cock on his thigh to tease Len.
 
Barry quickly shot Len a little smirk, knowing exactly what he was doing to
him, before he wrapped his other hand around the back of Ray’s neck. Barry
pulled Ray closer and shared a meaningful look with him before pulling him into
a sweet kiss, contrasting dramatically with what he was doing to Len. And he
wasn’t just resting his hand on Len’s thigh anymore. No, he was unbuttoning and
unzipping Len’s pants with one hand while he continued to kiss Ray slowly, just
now licking at the seam of Ray’s lips. Len could see Ray open his mouth
slightly for Barry, his eyes squeezed tightly shut and a blush high on his
cheeks, and he saw Barry’s tongue slip into Ray’s mouth where their lips just
barely met.
 
Ray moaned and Barry finally slipped a hand into Len’s pants, wrapping his hand
around him and stroked. Len moaned and dropped his head back to rest on the
seat, still watching Barry and Ray kiss from half shut eyes.
 
Startled by Len’s moan, Ray’s eyes shot open and he took in the look on Len’s
face. Ray was curious to know what was making Len’s mouth hang slack jawed and
his eyes flutter half closed like that. Was it him and Barry’s kissing? Barry
nipped at Ray’s lip, trying to get his attention back on him but right before
he did it Len’s eyes shut completely and he moaned again, this time his back
arching slightly. Ray was so startled this time he broke the kiss to lean back,
worried Len was actually hurt or something. Maybe Barry was accidentally
leaning on something that hurt Len!
 
Barry pouted when Ray pulled away but the look on his face when he saw what
Barry was doing to Len was totally worth it. Ray’s mouth opened and closed like
a fish and the blush on his cheeks spread to cover his whole face and move down
his neck. Interesting. Barry would have to find out how far down that blush
went later.
 
Barry leaned against Len’s side and rested his head next to Len’s, still
staring at Ray’s face. He twisted his wrist just the way Len liked and Ray
choked on air as Len groaned again. Out of the corner of his eye, Barry could
see Len’s eyes open again, perfect.
===============================================================================
 
Barry had plans for how this evening would go. When he’d said he’d plan
everything he meant  everything . So when he was slow dancing with Len, he was
also letting him in on his little plan. At first Len tried to talk him out of
it, worried Ray wasn’t ready, but then Barry told him what all he’d been
texting Ray the week leading up to the dance. Then Len was on board, mostly.
 
“We can’t just spring sex on him, Barry,” Barry started to protest but Len
quickly finished his sentence, “At least not full sex. Yes, I know about the
stash of condoms and lube you hid in the limo when you said you were going to
the bathroom.” Barry pretended to pout but acquiesced with a drawn out, “Fine.”
 
“But there will be some kind of sex, Len. I am here to sin and don’t you forget
it,” Barry murmured.
 
“Of course, Barry,” Len chuckled.
 
“Do you want to know what I want to do?” Barry asked. Len nodded and Barry
leaned in to whisper in Len’s ear.
===============================================================================
 
Barry reached out and grasped the hand of the still gawking Ray with his free
one and he slowly brought it over to join his on Len’s dick. Len and Ray gasped
at the same time and Ray drew his hand back quickly as if he’d been shocked.
Barry waited and kept stroking Len at a slower pace.
 
Ray couldn’t believe what was going on. Barry was touching Len  there  and then
Ray touched Len  there  too! God why was he thinking like that? He wasn’t a
child, it wasn’t like he hadn’t touched a dick before. He just hadn’t touched
one that didn’t belong to him, is all. Len had felt amazing for the brief
moment Ray had touched him and he  really  wanted to touch him again. He looked
up from where he had been staring almost transfixed at Barry’s actions on Len’s
cock and saw Len and Barry staring back at him fondly, much like they had on
the dance floor before all this started.
 
Except this was completely different, Ray thought. This was somehow even more
intimate than the dance floor. They were looking at him like he could choose
not to do anything and they’d still keep smiling at him like that. He sucked in
a surprised breath.
 
But he didn’t want to do nothing, so he reached out for Len’s cock again and a
huge grin spread across Barry’s face, “That’s it baby, touch Len for us. He’ll
love it.”
 
Ray cautiously touched Len, still a little unsure despite Barry’s words, and to
his surprise Len’s eyes closed again and he moaned, “Ray.”
 
Len could feel Ray’s hand cautiously touch him and he didn’t dare open his eyes
again just in case. Barry pressed a soft kiss to his collarbone and tightened
his grip on Len’s cock. Ray’s hand was still only lightly touching him so
without opening his eyes Len reached out and grabbed Ray’s hand in his and
showed him what he wanted.
 
Barry took his hand away and watched Len’s hand wrapped around Ray’s sliding up
and down his cock. Len directed Ray’s hand much like he had for Barry when they
first did this and it made Barry feel like smothering the both of them in
clingy hugs and kisses. But that would interrupt this amazing thing from
happening so he restrained himself.
 
Ray felt like he was on fire. His entire body practically blushing as Len used
Ray’s hand to stroke himself. Len’s moaning was becoming more frequent and
louder and Barry made his presence known once again to pull Len’s hand away
from himself, leaving only Ray to touch Len. If Ray could have blushed more he
would have and his pace almost stuttered to a halt but Barry’s hand was back
and it joined his own just underneath his. Somehow Barry managed to smile at
him encouragingly even as he started to move his hand in tandem with Ray’s,
moving down and then back up to meet his. A day didn’t go by where Ray wasn’t
surprised by these two. He kept up his pace, staring into Barry’s eyes and the
smile slowly fell off Barry’s face and he bit his lip before surging forward to
capture Ray’s lips in a kiss. Len came as soon as Barry’s lips met Ray’s,
spilling over their hands and moaning their names.
 
Ray broke the kiss and looked down at his hand. “Holy shit,” he whispered and
Len burst out laughing. Barry chuckled too and slid off the limo seat onto his
knees. Before Ray could figure out what was happening, Barry had his pants
undone and his mouth wrapped around his cock.
 
“Holy shit!” Ray cried out and threw his head back against the seat, gasping.
Len pulled Ray his lips to his and swallowed his moans while Barry swallowed
around his dick. Ray had never had a blowjob before so he lasted an
embarrassing handful of seconds before he was crying out and trying to pull
Barry off.
 
 
Barry held fast to Ray’s hips and swallowed hard around his cock as Ray started
to come down his throat. Barry whimpered and came in his pants. He had been
painfully hard the entire time but after making both his boyfriends come he was
overwhelmed and couldn’t hold back anymore. His fingers twitched on Ray’s hips
and he moaned around Ray making him groan. Len pulled Barry off Ray and kissed
his forehead. He crawled back onto the limo seat between Len and Ray, so close
he was practically sitting on them.
 
Barry hooked an arm around Ray and Len’s necks and pulled them both into a hug.
 
“So that just happened,” Ray mumbled against Barry’s neck and Barry and Len
laughed.
 
“You bet your ass it did,” Len kissed Ray on the cheek, “And, if you want, it’s
gonna happen again, and again, and again.”
===============================================================================
 
In the end, Len bought Barry only one cake. Barry refused to let Len forget
that he was owed cake so Ray bought him six more, each one a different flavor.
“This,” Barry said smugly, “is the best part of having two boyfriends. I get
all the cake I want.”
 
“Among  other  things,” Len joked. Barry smacked his arm and stuffed another
slice of cake in his mouth. Ray smiled.
