"I can't believe you actually bowl," I laughed as Barry and I walked through the bowling alley for our date we deserved.
Barry laughed in response, "Oh, this is one of my favorite places in the world, and I'm guessing one of the many sports I can destroy you at."
"Well," I motioned to the tank I was dragging along, "It's kind of hard to do anything while lugging this thing around."
Barry sighed with a smile, "I'll give you a fair game, so while you bowl I'll hold your tank and tubes—no using your mind tricks to win, either!"
"Ok, so I can destroy you fairly. I get it," I chuckled, and pressed my lips against Barry's.
From the couch in front of the lanes, Iris greeted us, "Hey guys!"
Barry awkwardly greeted them both, "Iris, Eddie, hey."
I rushed to Iris to give her a hug since I hadn't seen her in ages, and while we had our arms wrapped around each other, I asked, "What are you two doing here?"
I sat down on the couch adjacent to Iris, and she replied, "We thought it would be fun. Barry and I have been bowling here since we were kids. Why don't you guys join us?"
I looked at Barry for an answer, but Eddie laughed awkwardly, "We don't want to interrupt your date."
"No, no," I smiled, "its fine."
Barry looked at me surprised, and asked, "Are you sure?"
I giggled, "Out of all the shitty excuses we have for dates, maybe this one will be more fun."
Barry held my tank and tubes while I rolled the ball down the lane, and I may have cheated just a little bit by helping it score me a spare. I laughed in victory, and Barry glared, "You cheater."
I raised an eyebrow at him, because I knew he wasn't going to say anything with Eddie and Iris around. "How did I cheat, Barry Allen?" I smirked, and walked back to the couch.
He paused trying to figure out a good answer other than 'You telekinetic shit-head!' Then he responded, "You used physics, you nerd."
I picked up our basket of nachos, and Iris asked me, "I have to ask, what's with the...um...," she gestured to my nose cannula.
"Oh this," I explained touching the tank, "For a while, I had these really bad fainting spells, and nobody knew what was wrong with me. Once I started working at Star-Labs, the spells got worse, so Caitlin ran a few tests on me and actually figured out that my oxygen levels were low; for a while I would just have the tank as needed, but when I got even worse we switched to having the tank full time."
Iris gasped sympathetically, "That's awful."
I smiled, "I mean, life goes on," I looked up at Barry, and he had a piece of tomato stuck on the side of his mouth. "Ew," I said grossed out.
"I got it," Iris said getting up to wipe the piece of food off of Barry's face.
I laughed, "Thanks, because I was not going to touch that."
Iris looked up at the scoreboard, and said to Eddie, "You're up babe. Go get 'em!"
Eddie was returning our shoes when his phone alert went off, and he said rushed, "I got to go. Emergency at the morgue."
Barry looked to me, and I had on my best 'Bitch you better not' face. "They're going to need someone from the crime lab. I'll see you at home," Barry said flinching, and he kissed my forehead before running off with Eddie.
I felt a vein pulsing in my forehead from how angry I was, so I passive-aggressively texted Barry's phone: Bitch, you owe me some good sex when you get home.
"Boy's stink," I stated.
Iris replied, "Especially cops."
I smirked, "That couldn't be truer."
I sat in bed with my arms folded across my chest waiting for Barry to walk into the bedroom. The door opened, and he was shocked to see I was still awake. "I'm so sorry," He sighed desperately.
"Did you read my text?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.
Barry smiled and ran his fingers through his hair, "Yeah, but let me shower first."
"Good," I smirked, "I don't want a sweaty boy in me." Barry disappeared into the bathroom connected to our room.
I picked up my tablet from the bedside table that was next to my oxygen converter for home (so I didn't waste all my tanks at night), and noticed all of the notifications from Cisco. Then, I pressed his contact to facetime him if he was even awake.
When his face appeared, Cisco greeted, "Yo."
"Make it quick," I said quietly, "Barry's in the shower," Cisco scooped a spoonful of cereal into his mouth, "Wait, are you eating cereal at eleven-thirty at night?"
Cisco laughed, "Don't judge me."
I laughed, "Alright, what did you want?"
He sat down at breakfast nook in his apartment, and explained, "Get this, I was watching the Reverse Flash footage again, and I zoomed in on his face to see if I could figure out who he was. I took a freeze frame and sent it to you. Tell me who it looks like so I feel like I'm not crazy."
I opened the message that had the picture in it, and all I saw was a less blurry blur of the Reverse Flash's face. "I see that he's doing the Barry-thing, so I have no idea what he looks like," I smirked.
"Open the next message," Cisco instructed.
The water turned off in the bathroom, and I glanced over to see the door wide open. I shouted to Barry, "I can see your butt!"
"Good," He laughed in response, and then closed the door.
I opened the next message that had the same picture of the Reverse Flash with a picture of Dr. Wells next to it. "I mean, it kind of looks like him," I stated, "In a Pablo Picasso way."
Barry walked out of the bathroom in his boxers, so I said quickly, "Cisco, I've got to go to bed."
He lay down next to me in bed after I clicked back to the screen that just had Cisco and his cereal bowl on it. "Hey Cisco," Barry greeted, and then his eyes narrowed on the cereal bowl, "Why are you eating cereal at like midnight?"
"That's what I said!" I laughed, and before Cisco could respond I said quickly, "I got to go, I'll talk to you at work, ok?" Then, I hung up our call, and set the tablet on the table.
Barry laughed, "What was that about?"
I lied, "He sent me this weird video, I think it was called 'Actual Cannibal Shia LaBeouf' and I just had to ask him, 'Why would you do that?'"
"I think I've seen that," He giggled, and pressed his lips against mine. "You're pretty," Barry smiled.
I giggled, "You're pretty...ok." Then, I cupped Barry's face, and kissed him passionately. "Alright," I smirked, "Now take off all my clothes you fucker."

PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO IT'S MY FAVORITE THING ON THE INTERNET
also, who else watched the new trailer for season two and nearly pissed themselves at the sight of Jay Garrick, Atom Smasher, etc?
ps. I will place money on the idea that the real Harrison Wells will appear in the mid-season finale, because Tom is still a series regular and I need to meet the actual cupcake Harrison Wells
