a/n – I LOVE HIM SO MUCH !! Chat I'm feral. First time writing for bae, hope u enjoy <33
It could've been a normal day. Saving a teenager from getting hit by a car, stopping robbers from stealing, then ending the day by training. It was all expected to happen in his itinerary for the day. What he didn't expect, was for you to be abducted. Like with everyone else he cared about, he was worried for you. His heart raced faster as he sprinted over to you, adrenaline filling him up as his mind raced with thoughts.
Were you okay? Were you being the stubborn girl you were, pretending to be brave? Were you standing up for those around you?
He didn't expect you to be surrounded in lightning. His breathing stopped for a while before Caitlin spoke, "Barry, it's not real. This meta- it's making some type of hallucination." But even then, he didn't care. He ran towards you, going past mach 3.5. No matter how far you were, no matter how many times Cisco had warned him beforehand, he still ran to you. Because it reminded him of his mother. Of losing her.
The vision of lightning glitched as he ran through it, Barry seeing you crouched down on the floor as you hugged a child. He quickly grabbed you, putting the kid down with his mother as he carried you towards S.T.A.R. labs. With how fast he was going, he didn't realize how his tears fell into the air as he held you tight, your arms wrapping around him with the same fear he had.
You shook on the bed of the medbay as he laid you down, not bothering to remove his mask. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" He said, his tone almost a desperate cry as he looked at you. Your eyes darted away from him as he craddled your face in his hands, caressing your cheeks to try and soothe you from the fear the meta had made you go through. What hurt most though, was you couldn't look at him.
"Please, look at me. Baby, I swear you're safe." He pleaded, taking off his mask as he kneeled closer to you. His forehead leaned on yours as he tried to calm the storm in your thoughts, hands caressing your back as he slowly kissed your cheeks. For the fastest man alive, he always made sure to take it slow with you. And he was sure that he was slow at that moment. Despite that, his heart kept beating faster when you didn't calm down.
When you finally looked at him, you saw his teary eyes look into yours as he leaned into a kiss, making it quick before he hugged you tight. "You're safe. You're here, with me. It wasn't real." He assured you, his arms grasping onto you as you both laid on the mattress. "Barry, I thought he was going to kill me." You whispered into his neck. "And he wasn't. He can't hurt you, not with me around."
Your cries had slowly turned into sniffles and shivers as the night progressed, his body never leaving yours until you finally calmed down.
5 minutes later in the cortex.
"Just let him be. The meta is harmless at most." Joe said, before walking back to the station. This made Cisco shrug as he turned his back from the two of you. "Look, sweet moment but is no one going to admit they're a bit jealous...??" And before he could continue on, Caitlin smacked him on the arm, ending with Iris laughing.
You gasp as Barry falls to the ground next to you, withering as he’s tased. “Your quite right Iris the assailant was left handed just like this man here”. You stare at the fake barry who is now passed out, his previous actions make so much sense now.
Just five minutes before this Barry or everything man as Catlin is calling him kissed you. Now that you know it wasn’t Barry kissing you, you're not sure how you feel. In the moment when you felt his soft lips against yours all you felt was ecstatic. You and Barry had been dancing around each other since you met. Neither of you made the first move, till today or at least that's what you thought. You can’t believe you kissed the meta-human who's been terrorizing the city.
“We need to get him to the cells” Wells directed, Iris objected telling the three of us that they need to take him to the police. Surprisingly Wells agreed, requesting Catlin help Iris with the unconscious Shapeshifter. While Iris and Catlin escorted the shapeshifter out of the cortex you went to find Barry.
You cautiously enter the Wests’ house, heading up the stairs to Barrys room. At first glance you don’t see him till you open the closet, you find Barry tied and gagged. You quickly untie him, setting his head in your lap. In an effort to wake him you start with small slaps to his cheek. At his lack of response your slaps grow rougher till eventually you slap him harshly leaving behind a red hand print. He does finally jolt awake, shock on his face as he quickly looks around. “What was that for?” he groans holding a hand to his face.
“I’m sorry you weren’t waking up, are you okay.” you gently reach out, placing your hand over his red cheek.
“The meta-human was here he changed into me we need to-” you quickly interrupted his rambling telling him that they had already caught him. “I just hope he didn’t do anything stupid while he was me”, he could already imagine all the crazy things this shapeshifter could have done while wearing his face.
“Don’t worry Catlin was with him from the moment he left the house till he was at star labs.”
“So nothing embarrassing?” he questions, you paused for a moment contemplating whether or not you should tell him about the kiss.
“Nope nothing i can think of…. Youdidkissmethough” you quickly say, words blending together. Barry stared at you trying to decipher what you said.
“What?”
Now you're the embarrassed one, face heating up as you thought over your next words. “You or fake you kissed me,” It was quiet, too quiet before Barry spoke up.
“He kissed you” his voice was soft, laced with a tone you couldn’t place. You just shook your head, scared your voice would betray you. “Oh… Did.. did you kiss him back?” Barry seems just as surprised as you at the question.
“I didn’t kiss him he kissed me” you felt the need to clarify, and you were avoiding answering his question, because you did kiss him back.
“Of course” he seemed dejected at your answer, standing up and moving away from you. You panic slightly as he moves away, you didn’t want this to get between the two of you.
“Barry, are you upset?” that was a stupid question, of course he’s upset you just aren’t exactly sure exactly what upset him.
“Yes” he quickly answered, making you wither, Barry seemed to realize his mistake quickly elaborating. “I’m not upset with you, I’m upset with myself” now you were just confused.
“Why are you mad at yourself?”
“Because that stupid Meta got to kiss you before me because I’m such a chicken.” His confession leaves you breathless.
“You want to kiss me?” you tried not to get hopeful.
“Of course I want to kiss you, who wouldn’t want to kiss you?” You let his words sink in for a moment before you stood to your feet and kissed him. It was a soft, lovely kiss. When you pull apart, both of you have dorky smiles on your face.
“So am I the better kisser”
You giggle giving him a bright smile, “Definitely”
