Barry had honestly just written his number there on the few times he had managed to get intoxicated (thank you Caitlin and science), and was lonely. Yeah, yeah, it wasn’t his best idea, or smartest move. But he just wanted to have a little bit of fun, to unwind, and relax. Even ‘heroes’ needed that every once in a while, right? “Hi– um, no this is Barry I just kinda figured you might be a prank caller or something,” he lightly chuckled, amused at someone else’s ramblings for once. “It’s not really my thing, but I figured, why not? Might as well give it a shot.” There’s a bit of a pause between there. “— Why? Are you interested? I mean, if you’re not that’s fine. ”
Blaine had no idea what reaction he was expecting from the guy on the other end of the line. There was a chance he did it on purpose but there was an off hand chance that someone was playing a dirty prank, too. How long was the number there? Maybe he was just beating a dead horse here but he had to give the guy a heads up. A heads up that went in the extreme direction of the first option. Common sense or not? What he just heard was–weirdly–not what he was expecting. An eyebrow jerked up, his lips hung open and he stared at his reflection in the dingy glass like seeing his stunned expression would confirm Barry’s question. “I–uh–you–oh! Oh! Uhm–.” Why were his hands suddenly shaking? Why did the room feel hot and stuffy all the sudden? And why the HELL did he drop the phone in the sink?! Barry could hear a quick scrambling before a panicked voice. “Wait–Are you serious?” No! This stuff really didn’t happen? Did it?
