Barry's POV
I wake up to the sound of Iris banging on my door, " BARRY! Get up, your always soooo late!" I look over to my alarm clock and it's 7:45.... I'M SO LATE!!
Iris barges into the room, "Bartholomew Henry Allen, get up!" She then hits my face with a pillow, giggling, I love her laugh.
"Iris alright, IM GETTING UP!" I say laughing, I sit up on the bed and realize I'm not wearing a shirt, she looks at me a couple times, than I look her in the eyes trying to distract her, "Barr, no seriously were so late!" She says smiling,

A few hours later
Iris's POV
"He keeps staring at you," Barry says to me,
"Oh, Eddie, Idk, he's kinda cute, but I don't think he's going to ask me out or anything," I say
Barry looked kind of, well, jealous, when I mentioned Eddie was cute,
But Barry could never feel that way about me, could he? I mean, yes, I love him, so much,
I love Barry Allen my best friend, since childhood, the boy who had to come live with me after his mom died, and the boy who grew up a door down from me, and the boy..
"Iris?" Barry asked,
"Oh, hey Barr," I say putting my thoughts to the side,
" your not thinking about Eddie are you, cause if you are, you should go out with him, BUT only if that's what you want, I'm not saying you have to go out with him... but if you like him, and that's what makes you happy,"
I put a finger on his lips to stop him from rambling, I love it when rambles, it's adorable
" no, Barry I don't like Eddie,"
Iris looked up at Barry, an inch away from his lips, her being so close to him, sent a shiver down her spine,
Iris has always wondered what it would be like to kiss Barry or be so close to him, almost like this, they were alone, sitting outside during their lunch period, no one would know if they kissed,
"Iris, do you want to study tonight after school, joes away on a work trip, and we'd get the house to ourselves,
" yeah, sure, I'd like that," Iris replied,
She leaned in closer to kiss his cheek, just like she's done so many times. Except this time she captured the corner of his lip in her smile,
Iris looked at the way Barry was holding her in his arms,
Iris didn't want to leave him, but at the same time she wanted to run and hide before any damage was done.

Barry's POV
Iris just kissed my cheek, and my lip, and now I'm just holding her, looking into her beautiful eyes,
Did she mean to kiss me or was that just a mistake? She would have never meant to do that,
She could never love me, like I love her,
"Barry...?"
I'm still holding onto her arms, why is she so beautiful with her perfect hair and dark skin,
"Barry, are you okay?" Iris asked again,
" Yeah, yes, I'm good, GREAT actually, " I responded
"Good to hear that!" She said
Iris grabbed my hand, and pulled me up off the bench.
"Is this going to be a repeat of this morning? Barry, WERE LATE!" Iris laughed,
