Note: The unofficial title is Six Times Team Arrow Caught Barry and Cisco Acting Closer Than Friends (it was too long). 

Honestly, I prefer Cisco and Barry as friends, but I can totally see how they could become more.

Enjoy!

...

1. Thea

Thea was sitting on the opposite side of the couch, watching Some Kind of Wonderful with Cisco.

Cisco was sitting on the S.T.A.R. Labs couch, watching a movie.

"Hey, Barry!"

"What?" Barry whined from the treadmill.

"Come over and watch this with me!"

Barry sighed before turning off the treadmill and speeding over.

"What is it this time?" he asked.

"Is there some history?" Thea smirked. Everyone knew Barry was gay, and they constantly made fun of him for it.

Cisco rolled his eyes.

"It's called Some Kind of Wonderful, and it's about the third wheel getting the boy," Cisco smirked.

Barry laughed.

"Wow, Cisco. Just wow," he said as he sat between Cisco and Thea.

"What?" Thea asked.

"Nothing. Just an inside joke," Barry said.

Thea shrugged.

Those boys were weirdos.

...

2. Diggle

Diggle and Barry were training.

After being used as a human pin cushion, Barry had decided to go to Diggle for training.

Cisco just sat to the side, watching them and eating Doritos.

"Go, Barry!" he shouted, making Barry roll his eyes and lose focus.

Diggle ended up punching Barry right in the eye.

...

"Are you ok?" Diggle asked. Barry nodded as he held the ice to his eye.

"I'll be right back," Diggle said.

For some reason, he didn't want to leave Barry's side, so he waited by the door.

"Are you ok?" Cisco asked.

"I would roll my eyes, but I would probably scream," Barry said, "Does that answer your question?"

Cisco winced.

"Would a kiss make it feel better?" Cisco asked, and Diggle was shocked when Barry shrugged.

Barry moved the ice, and Cisco kissed his eye.

Diggle laughed quietly.

He'd thought he meant on the lips, not the eye.

As soon as Cisco pulled away, he walked back into view.

"Did you get Caitlin?" Barry asked.

Diggle mentally slapped himself as he raced away.

...

3. Felicity

"You did WHAT!??!" Caitlin, Cisco, and Felicity shouted in unison.

"I... dance? And sing?" Barry said sheepishly.

"I can't handle this," Caitlin muttered as she walked out.

Felicity smirked.

"I want a performance," she said, "I'll go get some stuff."

She headed toward the door.

When she came back, she heard some whispering and decided to eavesdrop.

"Can I get a private performance?" she heard Cisco ask.

"Maybe..."

Felicity shrugged.

Who knew what they were talking about?

"So, when is it?" she asked. Cisco and Barry gave her a confused look. "The private show," she clarified.

Cisco and Barry exchanged a glance that Felicity couldn't identify.

"Uh... just turn on a song," Barry said.

...

Felicity picked Smooth Criminal after seeing this video:

4. Sara

Sara, Cisco, and Barry were sitting in Jitters, sipping some Flashes.

"So... what's going on in the lives of Team Flash?" Sara asked.

"Not much," Cisco responded.

"Really? You have a city full of villainous metahumans, yet nothing?"

"You said Team Flash, so we assumed that you weren't talking about metahumans," Barry replied defensively.

"Jeez. Sorry," Sara said.

Wait.

We?

She shrugged.

Maybe he just said it wrong.

Yep. 

That's it.

...

5. Oliver

"Flash! What are you doing!?" Oliver asked, but Barry ignored him.

For some reason, he was standing in front of Cisco and refused to move.

"I can take care of myself!" Cisco whispered, "Go help Oliver!"

Barry shook his head.

"You're not ready," he whined.

What was that about?

"Well, I won't be ready until I can fight, and the best way to learn is through practice."

Barry slumped.

"Fine," he muttered as he stepped out of the way.

Meanwhile, the meta was staring at them in complete confusion.

...

6. Everyone

After yesterday's team up (Oliver), they decided to catch up at Applebees.

"So, yesterday, I tried to ask those two," she gestured to Cisco and Barry, who were sitting together, "what you guys have been doing, but they didn't answer."

"Yeah. You guys have been acting weird," Thea responded. Felicity, Diggle, and Oliver nodded.

"When I hit him during practice, you kissed his eye," Diggle said.

"And when I found out about your glee days, Cisco asked for a 'private show'."

"And you wouldn't let Cisco get hurt," Oliver added.

Barry looked down while Cisco avoided everyone's eyes and coughed.

"Now that you mention it, Cisco and Barry have been acting weird," Caitlin said.

Joe and Iris nodded.

Barry turned bright red.

Cisco just burst out laughing.

"You-you literally already said it," he said.

Barry turned even redder.

"What it is?" Oliver demanded.

"Please, Cisco," Barry begged, but Cisco shook his head.

"I learned how to block the puppy eyes," Cisco smirked.

"Why? It's your job!" Barry protested, and suddenly Caitlin understood.

"No..."

Barry shrugged.

"Yes?"

Caitlin gasped.

Then she covered her mouth.

"What?" Felicity asked.

"I-I know how Cisco acts when he's dating," Caitlin said.

Everyone turned to Cisco.

"I only missed the sighs because I thought he was straight."

"Trust me. He's not straight," Barry smirked.

Cisco blushed.

"You," Iris pointed at Barry, "shush. Cisco, continue."

"I, uh, noticed that some guys looked attractive, and so I asked Barry to explain being gay, if I  was, and how to do it. It ended up being something like a class, and when I 'graduated', I realized I had some feelings."

"Wait. So you had sex before becoming a couple?" Joe asked.

Cisco blushed.

Joe turned to Barry.

"Seriously?" he asked Barry. 

Barry shrugged. 

"He said it himself. He needed to know how to do it, and I needed to get laid. This was the free option."

Oliver stood up.

"I'm just done," he said as he walked away.

Sara, Felicity, Thea, and Diggle went to join him.

"I can't right now," Iris said, tears in her eyes (this is right after Eddie died).

Joe went to join her.

Caitlin however, just shifted to a more comfortable position for her interrogation.
