ship and number : Irisco & prime numbers, plus 12
1.How do they sleep and wake up: Okay this is cute so both of them are actually really ungraceful sleepers. So they kind of go to sleep koala’d together with like their legs wrapped around each other and it’s nice. But thoughtout the night, Iris definitely hogs the covers and then when she gets too hot she kicks them off the bed completely and so Cisco has no cover. And so Cisco will end up digging his feet under Iris’ back to keep his toes warm and Iris will throw herself to the other side of the bed to get away from Cisco’s digging toes and then Cisco will roll over to her side cause he still needs to be waaarm. And when they wake up Iris is sprawled diagonally over Cisco’s body, her bonnet has definitely slipped off and is lost indefinitely, and Cisco is all starfished out. And they’re not graceful waking up either, so they have to pull each other out of bed like “babe, carry me” “you carry me”
2. How’s their teamwork? Do they share well?: They’re actually a great team. They’re usually on the same wavelength and they can usually figure out what the other’s idea is before they finish the thought. But the thing is, they can’t stop bickering to saave their lives. It’s honestly made them better at multitasking, because they can seamlessly pull off getting the job done while snarking at each other simultaneously. In terms of sharing, they’re definitely bitch buddies. When they get home they’ve always got something or someone to talk shit about and they know each other’s repeat offenders. So Cisco will walk through the door and she’s like “okay what did Harry do today” and Cisco’s like “alright so this Egor motherfucker–”
3.Are they open about their relationship? How do they feel about public displays of affection?: They’re not excessive about it, but if you look at them it’s clear that they’re together. They hold hands and Iris fusses over Cisco a lot. Especially when she’s nervous. She always likes to make sure he’s in tact. Cause she’s a dorky weirdo.
5.Nicknames? Pet-names? Any In-Jokes?: Iris calls Cisco “Frannie” sometimes just to get under his skin, but other than that they don’t have many nicknames for each other based on their names. For pet names it’s kind of the usual: baby, babe, honey, sweets. Iris calls Cisco handsome, gorgeous, and Maybelline (for his hair). Cisco calls Iris gorgeous, beautiful and he’ll jokingly call her by the name of a random tv reporter. As for in-jokes I duno I feel like they mostly like to harmonize in the car with each other. I also feel like they probably go on little adventures together and some turn out more fortunate than others. Iris is always borrowing Cisco’s things: his hairbrush, his clothes, she always eats his food. She does it so much that Cisco is always teasingly asking her if what she’s wearing is his even if it’s definitely not something that he would wear. She’ll walk through in a wrap dress and he’s like “what did I say about stealing my clooothes”. Or it’ll just be like random shit like she could be using a napkin and he’s like “ummm that’s definitely mine Iris why are you always stealing my shiiit?”. And Iris will tease him about his inventions like she’ll act like anything that belongs to him is something that he made himself like she’ll pick up his tv remote and be like “is this gonna blow up?” and she’ll go up to his like regular every day appliances like “okay so what does this do?”
7. What annoys them the most about their partner? Would they change it if they could: Iris is suuuuch a mess. She’ll just walk out of her clothes and then the next day she’ll be looking for shit and he’s like “maybe if you put them away properly..”. Something he also loves and hates about her is how fearless she is. Like Cisco’s no punk, but Iris, oooh my god, she gives no fucks when it comes to a story. And he never wants her to chase dangerous leads alone so he’s had to go with her on some of the scaaariest leads like holy fuck who knew journalism was this fucking death defying. They’ll literally be running for their lives and she’s just like “oh man I can’t wait to write about this”. And the’ll go to bars and some jerkass will get fresh with them or something and Cisco just let’s it go cause it’s whatever but Iris will get buck so damn quick and she’s like “no, no what did you just say to him?” And she will read them in front of everyone in the middle of a bar and Cisco has to drag her out before they get into a fight with a bunch of bikers.
And Cisco is so damn particular. About a lot of shit. Like he seems chill, but he’s surprisingly not chill about so much. Like he’s not even chill about what junk food he wants to kill himself with. The store was out of Twizzlers, so she bought him Red Vines and that may have been the worst fight they ever had? Well that’s an exaggeration but he carried on for a while about how “she must not really love him” like he was so dramaaatic. And speaking of unhealthy foods, he had junk food out the ass. How did he live like this? He only ever bought vegetables when he needed them for a recipe. She bought an eggplant one time and he was like “haha, like the dick emoji?”. Also he was aaalways tinkering with things in her apartment to make them better. And while most of the time it comes in handy, sometimes he likes to add modifications, like weaponizing her blowdryer. He was really sorry for that one though because she almost burned all her hair off. But her apartment is basically a death trap for anyone who comes in uninvited which is…a teensy bit excessive? And he’s always waking her up in the middle of the night to discuss new ideas for an invention, and she listens because she knows he’s excited and he has to tell someone but fuck it’s 3am.
I don’t think either would necessarily change anything about the other, because everything they are is why they love each other.
How do they celebrate Holidays? Anniversaries?: Well both of them are pretty enthusiastic about anything that you can go all out for. For Halloween they get all decked out in a couples’ costumes. Cisco makes the costume and Iris does the make up. One year they didn’t even dress, up, but they pretended that they’d swapped bodies and didn’t break character for the entire day no matter what. Neither of them are religious but they’re fucking goners for the commercialization of Christmas, they don’t caare. They get alll up in the spirit, blasting all the best Christmas albums in the car and in the house. They go hard on “All I Want For Christmas is You”, like they go super hard. And every time one of them hits a hard note particularly well they’re like “yeeesss kill it!” They get super excited to give each other presents. Iris is really good at tracking shit down and she will find the most niche limited edition Star Trek memorabilia, like she’ll literally search for months in advance to get it to him on Christmas day. And then she’ll finesse the price down to something doable. And Cisco looooses his mind. But she also buys him a lot of the best sketch books for his inventions. Cisco will usually makes Iris’ gift. He’s got a good eye for style and not much cash so he’ll make her some really dope ass clothes that fit her perfectly. But sometimes it’ll be something super sentimental like once he made a 3-D model of her entire family together: Her, Joe, Barry, Wally, and Francine and she fucking lost it. She cried for like 10 minutes and he was afraid that he did something wrong but she assured him that she loved it.
12. Is there a wedding? What’s the proposal like? Is there a honeymoon?:Weddings are faaaaar far off for them. And the proposal is so them like Iris proposes to Cisco, but he was already planning to propose to her. And she knew he was getting ready to propose so she wanted to propose first to beat him to it. Like she proposes to him the day before he planned to propose. She gives him a ring pop and little does he know there’s an actual ring encased in the candy. And Cisco takes like..forever to notice it? But then his tongue hits metal and he’s like “ew wtf, babe there’s something in my ringpop” And she’s like “just keep eating it” and he can tell that she means something by that so he like gets the ringpop as far down as he can so he can dislodge the ring and he’s like what’s this and she gets down on her knee and he’s like “oh my–come ooonn. This is literally like the best day of my life but I was literally gonna propose tomorrow” and she’s like “I know, so is that a yes?” and he’s like yeah but only if they agree that he can still do his the next day cause it’s pretty dope. And so the next day they go out for a picnic and Iris is like really excited still even thought they’re already engaged. But then Cisco takes out his tablet and taps around on it and this drone comes out of no where and it starts showering flower petals on them and it’s so and then it drops a something attached to a little parachute and when it lands in Cisco’s hand it’s a ring box. And Cisco proposes to her with flower petals in his hair and he looks so pretty and she’s definitely crying even though they were already getting married and she’s really glad that she agreed to let him propose too. The honeymoon is dope. Cisco takes forever to pack all of his tools and shit and Iris is like “you don’t neeed this” but he can’t help himself. Tons of the sex. Lots and lots. Their honeymoon is somewhere warm and sunny cause melanin👌🏾. They spend the whole vacation with flowers braided into their hair like they both look so good it’s crazy.
13. What do they do for fun? Do they have a favorite activity or do they switch things up: Sex! Sorry had to get that out of the way. Buuuuut other than that they do like to go on little adventures together. A lot of times it’s Iris’ idea based on Cisco thinking out loud because she’s always gotta get to the bottom of things and if she’s going he guesses he’s going to. So they’ll be eating Ice cream and Cisco’s like “I wonder who has the best Ice cream in Central City” and he’ll regret it immediately because Iris gets that Look and she’s like “we’ll just have to find out” and they sample like every ice cream joint they can find (they don’t buy ice cream everywhere, they just try the samples. The shop owners were getting piiissed). For things like that though, they get Barry or Wally’s help because they can’t get to all the ice cream joints without a little speedster magic. But then when they’re all done Iris is like “oh hahahaha, you could have just vibed to see which is the best ice cream joint. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20″ and then Cisco fucking throws up. Cisco can never wonder aloud because they’ll be watching like the Travel channel and Cisco’s like “hmm I’ve always wondered what zip lining is like” Iris is always like “hmm yeah let’s do it” and he’s like “what no! I wasn’t–” “too late! Let’s go” But they always end up having a blast in the end. Iris will test out Cisco’s new video games with him a lot too. And while it’s not necessarily “hard-core gaming” Iris loves the Lego games because of the problem solving and every time she can figure out how to get a mini kit she’s like “Look at that! That’s investigative genius at work, babe, you see that?” and Cisco’s like “Iris this game is ages 10 and up” And she’s like “let me HAVE THIS”. And Cisco just likes to geek out over his favorite movies being compressed into Lego form. There’s even a Lego Batman? Which is wild, cause like….that’s a real dude?
Lordt I think I’ll stop there. Haha hope you liked it sorry it was so late.
