double date!
Sometimes it's a little hard to believe that this life that Derek has cobbled together in Darrow is actually his life. He never thought that he'd have a wide circle of friends, or own one business let alone two, or have what seems to be shaping up to be a pretty healthy relationship with a man with such a good heart.
He definitely didn't see himself going on a double date at a karaoke bar, that's for sure. But that's where he is.
Derek and Barry arrive first and wait outside, and Derek winces slightly as someone inside hits (or more accurately tries to hit) a high note. He shares a look with Barry and then leans in, slinging an arm around his waist to pull him close.
"You have a much better voice," Derek says easily, giving him a playful smirk. "Do I finally get an encore tonight?"
He doesn't often tease Barry about Valentine's Day, but it's been four months and the memory has become something warm and fond for him. Also wow, four months. It may not seem like a long time, but it is for Derek. And he's grateful for every moment of it.
Even if it does lead to them winding up at a karaoke bar because Newt's enthusiasm usually makes things seem like a far better idea than they actually are. Still, with Barry and good friends at his side, he knows that he'll have a good time.
As long as no one makes him actually sing.
