Hi! I would love your view on WestWave first date or date. drabble or headcanons
I’m so sorry it took me 80 million years to answer this!
Mick’s so nervous about just asking Iris out that he ends up accidentally setting fire, not only to his clothes, but also Barry’s, Ray’s and Nate’s clothes as well.
He explained it away as being angry that Lisa and Len messed up his kitchen while he’d been away with the Legends.
He resolves to try again, after getting drunk and writing the next three chapters of his next novel.
The next time he tries to ask, he gets interrupted by the meta of the week, which pisses him off so much he ends up bellowing out the question, not only in front of Iris, but also Team Flash and the West family (who’d been in the cortex trying to squeeze in a family dinner when the meta had shown up).
He’s so embarrassed that he melts the meta’s shoes to the street and hide’s away in a safe house, altering between trying to drink himself into oblivion and focus on writing more of his novel.
Iris lets him get away with a week of this, before she gets Barry to get Len to tell him where Mick’s hiding at, so that Barry can tell her, so she can hunt her idiot down herself.
Iris shows up when Mick’s passed out, so she decides to leave him an ACTUAL LETTER, which basically boiled down to her saying yes and that she’s set up reservations for the following Saturday if he’d still like to go out, and leaves it on his typewriter before slipping back out of the safe house. She also mentions a dress code, because Lisa booked them at a semi fancy restaurant, one she knows Mick loves because the food is so good.
Iris is a little worried Mick will decide not to show, so she spends the week diving Barry, Len and their friends/family nuts.
Mick spends the week freaking out but putting that energy into his book and letting Lisa take him around town to find an outfit that will be good for his first date with Iris.
Mick shows up at Iris’s place to pick her up, dressed in brand new dark jeans, a dark grey henley and a leather jacket that’s tailored to his drame.
They don’t make it off her stoop for nearly twenty minutes.
They end up ordering in Thai, because they don’t leave her apartment at all.
Lisa bitches at them because she called in a favor to get them a private table.
Mick pays her back.
They do eventually end up going to the restaurant for their one year anniversary.
Iris ends up proposing half way through their meal.
Mick says yes.
He’d been planning to ask during dessert.
(Joe’s not exactly thrilled. But he’s at least accepted the relationship by the time the wedding happens.)
