Leonard Snart isn't your average 33 year old man. For one he's been on his own for most of his life. His mother died when he was a baby, he doesn't even really remember her. His step mother loved him but wasn't able to help him when he needed it the most. His father was a piece of shit who did everything he could to try and ruin Leonard's life from the beginning. Some might think that's a little melodramatic, but Len's father was a crook plain and simple. And a mean one at that. He was a dirty cop who lied, stole, and beat his son when he didn't behave exactly how Lewis wanted him too. Tired of all of it Len took a chance and went to the police when he was 14 years old. His father was planning to make a huge heist and he was forcing Len to go along with it. The teen knew it would fail...and knew he would more than likely be blamed for it all so he tried. He confessed, he told the police everything and thankfully the officer who interviewed him believed him. His father was arrested and sentenced to life in prison without parole.

At first Len was afraid he'd wind up in the system but Lisa's mom stepped forward and agreed to be his guardian until he was of age. That meant he got to see Lisa grow up..it meant he got to finish high school and go to trade school. He stayed with them even after he graduated to help out because Lisa's mom couldn't do everything and work 3 jobs. Things were hard but they were good for several years. When Len was 24 and Lisa was 16, almost 17 her mother fell ill and subsequently passed away. Len applied for and was granted custody of her and they stayed in that little apartment because it was really all they could afford. Lisa's mom had enough set aside to bury her essentially and not much else. That helped at least...they didn't have to worry about a roof or food. Len's security repair and installation job was enough to pay the bills and do a little but of fun things. So it was just the two of them and the next seven years were good. Lisa went to college on an athletic scholarship. She was bound for the Olympics when she got injured and was forced to retire early. She didn't mind though, she started teaching at the ice rink and she had people flocking to be trained by an olympic hopeful and someone who was genuinely a nice person...if a bit flirty.

At 25 Lisa was sharp as a tack and gorgeous and wonderful. She did what she could to help with the bills and she always made sure Len took care of himself too. Yeah...things seemed on the uptick...then the bubble burst again. One the way home from the ice rink one evening Lisa was mugged and beaten to within an inch of her life. Her leg broken in three places, broken wrist, three broken ribs, several broken fingers, black eye, internal bruising....she spent almost three weeks in the hospital and required several surgeries and followups to make sure everything healed right. She hadn't even started therapy yet and already they were drowning in medical bills.

Len hid them from her..even with his meager insurance policy there just wasn't enough to cover it all and they certainly didn't have enough coming in to cover it. Len spent several days begging every bank in the city for a loan only to be told no over and over. With Lisa back in the hospital for hopefully the last surgery Len did what he swore he would never do again. He did what he thought was the only thing he could do to make sure Lisa had what she needed. He looked up one of his fathers old partners and arranged a meeting. He didn't want to be a criminal...but Lisa needed him and for her he would do absolutely anything.

Even his patience is finite and soon Barry is rising up. In an odd show of deference, he pulls a fresh condom, rolling it on and doing his best not to make a face at the clammy and cold feeling of it. He slicks himself up quickly and lines himself up.

The push inside is slow and careful. Snart may not like it, but he's not a total bastard, he's not looking to deliberately hurt him.
.. he's not like Thawne. Swore to himself he never would be.

A choked curse as his forehead falls to Len's shoulder once he's fully seated. He's warm and tight and perfect. It's all a lie, but Barry can lie to himself for a little while longer as he closes his eyes and starts to move.

Good. It's so so very good and for a moment Barry can only wish that the moment was genuine. Real. Because he feels so perfect beneath him.

He shoves those thoughts away, even with the curl of fingers around the back of his neck, holding on as he begins to move.

Barry allows himself to pretend. At least a little longer.

Even Barry can't miss the fact that Len is less than thrilled with the idea of being fucked and after a few more thrusts he rolls away, tearing at the condom. He hates the damn things.

"Go," he grates out.
This was a mistake.

"Just go. Cisco will make sure you're paid."

"I said go. Clean up and collect your money from Cisco." It takes absolutely everything he has to keep his voice from wavering.

He's not like Thawne.
He won't be.

The condom is thrown away as he heads to the bathroom, hoping he can get there before he breaks utterly.

Barry pulls away from him.
He's a monster, but he'll never be like Thawne. As much as he wishes it wouldn't his voice cracks when he answers. "she'll be taken care of."

"I'm letting you go. I'm no rapist."

"Just go "

Every word is like a nail in his chest and Barry withdraws, vanishing in a blur of lightning and wind.

It's Cisco that shows up to pay him, his expression tight and angry.

"You don't talk to him like that. You don't treat him like trash when he's giving you an out you prick." The money is shoved at him as he pushes his way into the bedroom, voice thick with concern. "Barry?"

Cisco shakes his head. "Like a normie like you would ever get it." Like anyone who wasn't changed would ever understand.

"He got your sister moved. She'll be taken care of. But talk about what happened and I swear by everything holy I will end you," Ramon growls before he turns back to the bedroom to try and find Barry, where he might have fled.

"Just go. Leave us alone."

Barry wishes it was easier to forget Leonard. It was his own fault for caring, for getting involved. He should have cut his losses before allowing Snart to see how lonely he was.

So a couple of days later he's at the same bar with a bottle at his elbow, downing shot after shot it's just a coincidence.
Right?
Right.

He's a monster.
It would probably just be easier if he could accept it.

Barry pours himself another drink.
He barely glances at the movement bedside him but the voice absolutely has his attention.
Leonard.

He doesn't offer to pay for his drink or even get the bartender to pull one of the better bottles for him.
Fuck you Barry Allen.

He'd killed people for less.
Cisco certainly had.
So why did Leonard leave him so twisted up inside?

He's barely paying attention to the music, drowning in his own memories. There's a flicker of movement and fresh whiskey in his glass and he tips his head at Leonard.

He wishes it could have been different.
The toast is met with a smile bordering on mournful. Still, he isn't rude and he taps their glasses together.

"I'll drink to that."

A snort. "I'm twenty six you know. Not a kid." He won't push Leonard's money back at him, but he will stand up and follow him outside.

"Why?" He asks quietly, once they're alone, half hidden in the dark. Why would he possibly want to spend time with the man who demanded his body?

Barry walks with him because he really doesn't know what else to do tonight. The statement brings him up short and he stares at Leonard. He'd like to do it again?

A sound that's both bitter and pained as he shakes his head. "You have no idea what kind of baggage that comes with a monster like me."

"You're a good man. You deserve better."
