Dating
...Barry Allen would include

• knowing he was the flash before he told you because he's been your best friend for years

• but still acting surprised when he told you

• karaoke nights with him, caitlin, and cisco

• romantic, fancy dinner dates with good food & good laughter

• him having to lean down quite a bit because he's just so t a l l

• and you love him being tall

• texting all day so you always know what's going on with each other

• and frequent quick visits because he has super speed and can literally come see you whenever

• wearing his t-shirts around the house because they're big enough on you to be a dress

• introducing him to your family & they all love him right away because he's barry

• even though he's the fastest man alive, he's okay with taking your relationship slow

• except for when kissing, because that's when things can heat up fast

• he tries to keep it slow, but once he's started kissing you he just can't help himself

• holidays at the west household

• barry running all over america to get you whatever food you're craving in that exact moment

• stealing his s.t.a.r. labs crewnecks because they smell like him

• the smell of him

• always having to make enough food for a small army when cooking for the two of you, because that boy can eat

• listening to him talk about science (and not always understanding, but it doesn't matter because he's so hot when he's saying smart things)

• how adorable and awkward barry was when you guys first started going on dates

• how adorable and awkward barry was when he ASKED YOU OUT (cue cute nervous rambling and a lot of hand fidgeting)

• being a part of team flash

• dating a freaking superhero

• him running you around the city with his super speed just because you think it's fun, and he thinks it's adorable when you grin hard from the speed

• cuddles, cuddles, cuddles

• naps after a mission & long day's work

• him getting flustered just when you look at him... even sometimes still after you've been dating for a while

• joe telling you how thankful he is that his son has such a wonderful person to be with

• him surprising you with bouquets of flowers or your favorite cake from that bakery in star city

• him being overprotective, but you not minding because it's just so sweet and thoughtful of
him

• hearing him say "yeah, that's y/n, my beautiful
girlfriend"
