The Flash is Born

Eddie dragged Barry to his lab and the punching bag that Barry randomly had put in. He swore he would put it to good use one day. But every time we went to give it a go, he always got distracted by one of his coworkers, or at least that’s what he told people when they asked why it had collected so much dust. Barry noticed Eddie start removing his jacket, and unbuttoning his shirt. He instantly turned around and rubbed the back of his head nervously.

“Uhhhhhhh, what are you doing?” Barry asked moving to his desk, fiddling with anything he could find.

“Getting comfortable, join the club Barry” Eddie said putting on a pair of punching gloves and getting in position ready to take a few swings at the bag. Barry nod and sighed in relief as he took off his button up and also grabbed a pair of gloves.

“Ok” says Eddie grabbing a hold of the bag. “Pretend this is woodland”,

Barry threw a small jab, not wanting to throw a super hard punch fearing he might hurt Eddie in the process.

“Come on Barry harder than that" Eddie says.

Barry throws another small jab with a little more force.

“What the hell Barry, my 7 year old cousin could hit harder than that" Eddie says rolling his eyes. “Come on pretend this is woodland and he just slapped your books out of your hand".

“Shouldn’t be too hard considering that how most of my high school years went" Barry says getting back into position.

Barry used his speed to throw a much harder punch, knocking Eddie back causing him to hit the wall falling.

Eddie chuckled with his hit the floor. “Jesus Barry!".

“What’s funny?" Barry asked running to Eddie side to make sure he didn’t hurt him to bad

 “Where was that guy in high school?" he asks.

"I don’t know" Barry says giving a small smile while reaching for Eddie's hand pulling with a little too much force causing Eddie to fall into him.

Eddie nor Barry made a move to step back never taking their eyes off each other, or a minute it seemed as though they were the only two people in the world. Barry didn't moved to grip Eddie's waist, or how their breaths became labored. This is what Barry had been dreaming about from the first moment he meant Eddie, and the one thing he did notice was that Eddie didn't move away. He was just as in the moment as Barry was, without thinking Barry leaned in for a kiss, Eddie taking the hint moving forward as well. Before their lips could touch Eddie moved back instantly at the sound of footsteps.

"Thawne, Allen. The unit watching Joe's daughter, they've been attacked. Iris is missing" He says quickly running out of the room as fast as he came in.

“Go, all right. I'll call Joe" Barry says to Eddie breaking the awkward silence between the two.

Eddie grabbed his things and headed out of the room. Barry slowly leaned on his desk, shifting awkwardly at what just happened. He smiled to himself tracing his lips still feeling the softness of Eddie’s. Maybe there was hope for he and Eddie yet.
