you're worth being on time for
Westallen Appreciation Week: Day #1 - My "holy crap I ship it" moment
Expanded version of the post on my tumblr. Link for the aforementioned thing (I'm so classy with words haha) in my bio. On with the show!
I don't own anything!
Time stopped.
Her heart suddenly seized in her chest and good God, this couldn't be real life because how would Barry Allen be standing right there?!
Abandoning whoever it was she was serving, Iris rushed forward - she put two hands to her mouth as if to stop the oncoming tears, word vomit, whatever… She heard herself faintly murmur: "oh my God," as she jumped into Barry's arms, feeling the biggest sense of relief and homeliness as he hugged back. He hugged hard too, as her feet no longer touched the ground.
Her Barry was back! Barry, who constantly protected her from whatever he could, whether it be the weather, her father, her abysmal skills at snooker - Barry was here to protect her again. After nine months of wanting - no, needing - to hear his (surprisingly) melodic voice reassure her that things would always get better - oh the irony, when Barry was gone it only got worse -, after nine months of staring into his lifeless face and praying to every deity that existed to wake him up... He was back.
She longed to see his face - lively, bright and full of life unlike the one she had been crying over for the past nine months - and pulled out of the hug, gripping his wrists as she stared into his green eyes that brimmed with happiness and unshed tears.
"You're awake!"
As soon as they hugged in 1x01, turned to my friend and said "ship!" ... Never knew Westallen would end up being the Black Pearl to my Jack Sparrow, aha.
