'Cause I don't love you anymore

This has surprisingly gotten a little better now. Barry and I can actually speak now without it turning into an argument. We've moved past what we were arguing about but I still haven't said anything to him about the adoption. I wasn't planning on it either.

I walk in to the cortex and there's Barry. He's sitting in a chair kinda staring off into space.

"Is there something on your mind, Barry?"

"It's just I've been thinking about how much a jerk I was."

"Are you just now realizing that you were?"

We both laugh and I smile.

"No. I knew I was a jerk then but I just feel terrible."

"Did you expect to feel all sunshine and rainbows?"

"Well, Yeah. I was happy until Iris broke up with me. I realized how stupid I was."

"Well, what do we got here today?"

"I've just been waiting here to see if any news on Captain Cold."

"Don't you have a day job?"

"Well..."

"You didn't come to see updates, you came to see me!"

"What? Definitely no."

"Sure."

He rolls his eyes and turns back to the computer screen at the desk.

"We should seriously look for Captain Cold though." I tell him.

"Maybe we could scan for ultraviolet cold signatures."

"Oh my gosh, Barry! You're an absolute genius!"

"I get called that a lot."

"A genius?"

"No, I'm called Barry.... That was a bad joke I'm sorry."

I laugh at his stupid dad joke and continue to use the S.T.A.R labs satellites.

"So, what are you doing tonight?"

"I don't know. Probably just track metas or something."

"You really don't have a life."

"I do! I cook...and I eat...and I read...and I help you."

"You definitely have a life."

"I do!"

"Totally believable."

I slap his arm playfully as he continues to mock me.

"Hey! No reason to bring violence into this."

"Cause I'm obviously such a violent and imitating person."

"I mean, you love puppies. That's quite terrifying."

"How is loving puppies violent?"

"Violent delights have violent endings."

I smile and laugh at him again.

"Quoting Shakespeare I see."

"That's honestly one of the only quotes I know."

"Romeo and Juliet is iconic! How do you only remember that?" I lowkey scream.

"Cause, they're dead. I'm focused on what's alive."

He lightly brushes me cheek and I smile looking down. I enjoy the moment before backing off.
