“I'll get to that! Just give me a moment.” (___) told Kara as they watched as their friends all sat in their booth. Diana watched as they let the rest walk away.
“Do you not intend on dining with us?” Diana asked, crossing her arms.
“No, no, I do! I'm just gonna check the menu. I've never been here before. Besides, it's also my turn to order for the group.”
“Alright, feel free to join us when you are ready.”
They rubbed their eyes as they stepped forward to the glass, displaying all the desserts Sweet Justice has to offer.
“Okay, so Diana wants.." (___) trailed off as they saw a face watching them on the other side of the glass. His eyes followed theirs as they traveled through the glass display. Their eyebrows furrowed as they brought their face up, as did he. They stared the guy up and down, trying to get an idea of who the guy was.
His golden blonde hair stood up, out of view from his face. Cerulean was his eye color, and his face wore a friendly smile. Blonde hair? Blue eyes? Why, it was Barry Allen! But (___) didn't know that! Although, whoever he was, he was doing an incredible job at making them blush.
“Hey there! What's happening? What's going on? You want anything sweet? Hope so! It's all we sell! Certified Speciality!”
They blinked a bit, trying to comprehend what was just spoken. Their face only grew more flushed in embarrassment. He said all of that like it was nothing! They just continued to stare, wanting to ask him to repeat but too embarrassed to ask.
“I," They started, rubbing their arm, “I didn't catch that. Could you repeat?"
“Sure! What'd ya want? You want anything sweet? We have all of that! Say, I've never seen you here before! Do you go to Metropolis High? I do! Hi, I'm Barry!”
Okay, so that was WAY more than what he said last time. What did he say? Something about Metropolis High? They didn't seem to catch that, their eyes being fixated on Barry’s.
“(___). I'm (___).” They silently said back, admiring his face. Something about it just made them want to know more.
“Hi, (___)! How are you? Is it your first time here in Metropolis? I hope I can show you around sometime!"
How was he so fast? It then occurred to them about how long it was taking them to order. Their body was propped up against the glass as was Barry’s. Their faces were close, it made (___)’s go on fire.
“Oh! Uhm, sorry for taking so long, my friends will have the," They were cut off politely by Barry who already got what they needed onto the glass counter.
“Don't need! They come here all the time! But anyways, what would you like?" Barry asked, still as fast as ever.
They fumbled with their words, trying to find the right thing to say. "How about you just surprise me? Make whatever you want, Barry.”
Barry’s face turned to confusion then to happy and cheery in just a couple of seconds. “Sure can do! Take these trays to your friends before they get melted!”
“Alright. It was so nice to meet you, Barry. You may be a bit too fast for me but I like that.”
His face was now flushed, their soft voice was so appealing and their features were so show-stopping. The dim lights from the ceiling made their hair and figure glow. He, now too, was fumbling with his words.
“Y-you too!" He said back. It wasn't fast like how it usually was. He said it so calmly, too drawn in to speak at his normal pace.
They let out a small giggle, “Yeah..".
. . .
“(___)! What's taking so long?!”
They snapped back into reality, taking the trays and beginning to walk over to a hungry Kara.
“S-sorry! I'll be right there!" They turned back to Barry and flashed him a smile, it was small but big enough for him to see. “See you later."
“Yeah.."
He watched as they walked away, into the booth of their friends. They even looked good from behind! God, he was truly head-over-heels.

(___) tapped patiently onto the hard plastic of the table, waiting for their own dessert.
“So, what was the deal with you and Barry?" Barbra asked, removing her eyes from her treat onto her friend. She watched as they tensed and seized their tapping, facing her.
“Barry? Oh! Nothing. It's nothing.” They answered quickly, taking a quick glance at the mentioned male, who seemed to be staring back. They watched as he missed his placement of whip cream, spilling onto the floor because of his fixation on (___). A small grin was plastered onto their face as they watched him slip on the spilled cream.
“You sure? He's been, like, staring over here more than he should be.." Zatanna confessed. She let out a gasp, making (___) and Karen flinch, “Do you think he likes you?"
“Zee, we just met. He said he wants to show me around Metropolis sometime.”
“Aka, he asked you out on a date! Seriously, (___), how are you not getting this?”
“Please, Zee, if Barry were to ask (___) on a date, he would say, ‘Tha thélate na moirasteíte tin agápi mou?’”
“You think he knows how to speak Greek, D?" Kara asked, rolling her eyes.
They trailed off as he started to walk over. Their eyes widened as they locked eyes with him, a blush smacked onto their face.
Barry stopped in front of the table, staring at the concoction he's brought. “I, uhm," He started. Sweat started to go down his brow as they stared at each other.
“Are you okay..?” Jess asked, breaking the awkward silence of the table.
“I, uhm," He shoved the concoction down into the table and ran back to the counter, tripping as he did so.
They all watched as he ran at an outstanding speed.
“Wow, he's..fast.” Their face then turned to the dessert, eyeing it.
“What is that? I’ve never seen it on the menu." Karen asked, sliding it over to her from (___). They all stared at it, curious. The dessert was special, at least that's what they thought. It was some sort of new menu item.
It was just a nice Vanilla milkshake, nothing special. It looked to have oreo, caramel, and chocolate remnants as well. Oreo cookies and swirls of Caramel covered the whipped cream, with small chocolates on the top. What set it apart were the heart shaped sprinkles, along with the nice heart shaped cherry that appeared to be sitting neatly on the top.
“Hearts? Jeez, can this get any more cheesy?" Kara asked, inspecting the drink.
Jess pulled something from the tray, a slip of paper. She showed Zatanna and Karen, who seemed to giggle a bit. (___) raised their eyebrow as they were handed the slip of paper.
‘Just text me and I'll pick up in a flash!’ is what the paper contained, along with a number. (___)’s face turned red as they grinned widely, giggling a bit. “Flash..” they said in a daze, giggling at the word. They looked back at Barry who was already staring back, all smiles.
“I still think they should await his text in three days time!” Diana said confidently, crossing her arms.
“He gave you his number? Way to go, (___)!” Kara peaked over.
“So, you gonna eat this or what?" Barbra asked, getting ready to eat it herself.
“I just wanna try it, if I don't like it then it's all yours!" They grabbed the shake and took a sip from the straw.
. . .
They had their eyes wide open, their face looking towards the shake in awe.
“This is amazing! Sorry babs!” They said quickly before devouring it.

(___) walked along the halls of Metropolis High, along with their friends. They laughed and talked all the way to class, but (___) didn't intend on going into class. They watched as their friends stepped into class, not noticing them slipping by and out the door.

The door closes as they hurry across the field and under the bleachers, sliding under before anyone can notice. But in the process, they knock someone down. They shoot up, about to start apologizing and realize that it's the exact person they were there to see. The person shot up fast, helping them on their feet.
“You came!” Barry exclaimed, but then blocked his face with his hair, “I mean, you came.” He said in a deep voice.
They scoffed and cuffed his face in between their hands, giving him a short kiss. His face fell like putty and kissed back, wrapping his arms around their waist. “I just didn't think you'd come!" Barry said through the kiss, moving it to the grass underneath the bleachers.
“Of course I'd come. I just didn't think ‘Mr. Superhero’ would want to skip class and make out instead.”
Barry’s face flushed as he shut them up with a kiss, moving to be on top of (___). “I'll just go tomorrow, I just really wanted to see you! I haven't been able to see a lot of you lately. We have different classes, different jobs. It's hard to even have a conversation that's not over text.”
“Wait, Bar," He turned his attention to (___) who studied his face, “You don't think you're losing me, are you?”
“What? No! Of course I don't!” Barry defended, although quickly dropping the act as he sighed, “Well, yeah.”
“B, I wouldn't lose you even if it meant destruction of the whole world! You're so special to me. Remember when we met? Oh, you couldn't take your eyes off of me!” (___) laughed at the memory as Barry gushed over their laugh, admiring them from atop.
They stopped laughing and cuffed his face, giving him another kiss.
. . .
“Woah!”
Barry and (___) shot up at the sudden voice, scrambling to their feet.
“You guys were totally making out!”
“Hal?! What're you doing here? Don't tell anyone!” Barry quickly rushed over to his friend, trying to shush him by any means necessary.
(___) just chuckled, getting up and walking to the boys, who were already in an argument.
“I saw that! You were about to hit third base, Barry.”
“Shushshushshushshush!” Barry scrambled to cover Hal’s mouth but to no avail.
“You're fighting like children.” (___) shook their head in playful disappointment as they smacked both of their backs, "You guys wanna hit up Sweet Justice?”
“But school’s still,” Before Barry could finish, the bell rang. Leaving a shrugging trio of teenagers on their way to Sweet Justice, laughs and teases were all made but it was worth it.
