Complications With My Hero (Edited)

Chapter 21: Actions

Many members of your family gasped in excitement, but there were still some that didn't approve. Barry looked at you and led you to the couch.

"Y/n/n, what happened to your husband?"

You shyly replied, "We divorced.."

Some shook their head in disappointment because in that family it was clear and evident. A marriage was for life. "How disappointing." Said an aunt of yours.

Barry couldn't believe it. How could they treat her like that.

"You don't know what happened." He spoke out in an angry tone. "He treated her horribly. He had no respect for his wife and he threatened her multiple times. How could you treat your family like that?!"

You looked at your friend in shock and admiration. No one has ever stood up for you like that and to know Barry had that kind of respect for you warmed your heart.

You soon realized you weren't the only one shocked. Your family looked at him in pure astonishment. "O-oh." Your aunt quietly spoke out as she looked at her feet.

"Food is ready!" Your mom loudly proclaimed, taking everyone's attention and making everyone walk outside to the back yard for some fun food and talks leaving you and Barry behind.

"Thank you, Barry." You said looking at D/n. Your eyes wandering until they landed on his.

"Of course, Y/n."

Your left hand lightly touching your daughter and your right hand creeping up to touch Barry's cheek. "I mean it, Barr. I really appreciate you." Both your bodies finally filling the spaces between. Your eyes still attached to his as he lowered his head merely a few centimeters away from touching your lips. Feeling his breath already intoxicating you as you finally closed your eyes for the intimate interaction. But of course, this just had to be ruined.

"Hey, guys are you- ohhhhh, my bad, hehehe. Continue." Your mother spoke out before returning back outside and earning a laugh from both of you.

Everyone forgot the awkward silence from what happened and enjoyed the company of Y/n and Barry, while D/n sat with some cousins as they tried to make her laugh more than she already was.

The entire time you and Barry were there, you were inseparable. Laughing together, smiling, making more jokes, whispering jokes here and there. It really seemed as if both of you were together, but you weren't and some how that stung both of you.

You aren't together.

You looked up at the man next to you and smiled.

But you can pretend very well.

He back looked at you and smiled, earning a blush from you. He laughed quietly before leaning his head towards yours and laying his lips on yours for a few seconds before retreating and talking to one of your sisters again. His actions leaving you burning red with a sweet smile on your face.

Wait. No. That wasn't supposed to happen.

But I liked it.

But he's not Savitar!

But he is. They're both the same person.

Y/n, pull yourself together!

Y/n, open up to him.

Your mind and heart were at war. You had to make the choice, but you didn't know which one was the right decision.

With D/n in Barry's arms and you already at the door, Barry said his last good byes before heading to the car. This time you sat with D/n and Barry drove to your apartment.
