Barriscowest headcanons for losfpolyamweek, Day 6: V Day
When Iris and Barry offer for Cisco to move in to their loft, they realize they have to tell Joe as well. They’re slightly worried about his reaction to Barry dating both Iris and Cisco so they sit him down, talk to him about polyamory, show him shows with polyamory, etc. He’s suspicious af but Iris claims it’s for a piece she’s writing about the older generation’s views on the topic.
Joe is highkey offended that he’s considered “old” but as for his views on it he isn’t polyamorous but he thinks people should be allowed to be happy.
They DEFINITELY troll him when they tell him Cisco is moving in though. Iris and Barry went to the station and Iris was like “dad...remember last time I said there was too much love for two people? We’ve decided to add a new member to the family.” “Oh, that’s great sweetie. What, she get you a dog or a cat?” “Actually.....it’s a human member.” “Oh my god. I - I need to sit down - Cisco why are you sitting in that chair why are you here I need my - oh my god.”
They then sweetly told him that Cisco was moving in and Joe almost murdered them all for trolling him.
Barry is annoyingly eager to do every chore. He’ll do them all in a second and it lowkey annoys Cisco because damn a little mess is okay Barry. Cisco is petty with it too Barry will tidy everything up and Cisco will look at him straight in the eyes while he throws a shirt on the floor.
Iris and Cisco love to cook with each other. They put spices on everything (#seasoning) and Barry’s eyes water a little bit when he eats the food but he eats all of it and will usually ask for seconds (which is much better than when he first moved in with the Wests and would have literal tears streaming down his face when he asked for seconds).
When the Tornado Twins are born Cisco immediately loves his tiny polywogs and he needlessly spoils them.
His excuse whenever Iris tells him he shouldn’t spoil them is “uhhh I’m not their parent what’s Barry’s excuse” like honestly Barry and Cisco highkey spoil these kids and fall for every puppy dog face ever.
Their anniversaries, are of course, Extra As Hell. Iris & Barry’s are their wedding anniversary of course, and Barry always speeds her to Paris or another gorgeous location for a rooftop dinner. For him and Cisco (their anniversary is when they first committed to being a couple) Cisco will usually open up a breach and they’ll jump to another Earth and dine there for the day.
Iris and Cisco don’t go on dates but they’ve been trying to bond more as friends. They don’t want to force interaction though so they kind of try to be present while the other is doing their own thing - so they’ll do cooking sessions together, Iris will sit and encourage Cisco while he’s training and learning more about his powers, Cisco will tag along with Iris on a story, etc.
Usually it’s Barry + Iris or Barry + Cisco having a date but every weekend all three of them try (barring a huge meta attack) to have a movie night where they watch cheesy old horror movies or thriller movies.
