Up Until Dawn

Hey guys and gals, what? Surprised something is coming up so soon after Only By Chance?So am I xD

Anyway, this is a Karry fanfiction (Kara x Barry)

This is going to be AU where neither have their powers, I haven't seen any powerless AUs so I couldn't help myself :D

Barry POV

I don't care what you hear, moving is one of the toughest things you ever have to do. Saying goodbye to your family to strike out into the big bad world on your own, it can be scary.

But not to mention the PAIN of moving all the boxes and furniture.

Today was the start of my first year of National City College. I lived in Central City with my foster dad and sister but now I was moving a sofa up three flights of stairs to the dorm room I will share with my best friend Cisco.

Cisco was helping move the couch too but he isn't... well athletically endowed. To be honest neither was I, but I had more muscle than him.

Meaning I had to be the one pulling the sofa up the steep stairwell.

"Dude, you spend most of your time at the gym, just pull!" Cisco's always helpful advice was meant by a grunt courtesy of me.

"Pulling won't help if you can't lift the legs at your end above the stairs" Heaving with all my might moved the sofa up one full step.

"Good progress, dude. Just nine steps and another flight to go!" If Cisco had any power, I would call him Captain Obvious right about now.

"Okay Cisco. Let's take a break, okay?" Letting the sofa go all I could hear from Cisco was a small groan as the sofa attempted to fall and crush him.

"Oh sorry Cis, I forgot tha-"I was cut off by a door behind me opening.

"Uh, is everything all right out here?" Spinning on my heels I was gobsmacked.

There she stood; a beautiful blonde with small glasses about to fall off the bridge of her nose also wearing a light red blouse and blue skinny jeans and a pair of black vans.

"Yeah, Uh, No I mean. We are just moving some furniture upstairs. No need to worry!" To make myself looked laidback and carefree by leaning my arm on the almost vertical sofa, causing a grunt from the bottom of the stairs.

"You need some help moving it then?" She shifted from one foot to the other, finding her shoes particularly interesting right about now

"Nah, we got thi-" I got cut off again this time by Cisco

"YES PLEASE, GETTING CRUSHED!"Cisco pleaded

"Oh sh-, I got you Cisco" As I grabbed the sofa, left hand underneath and right hand on top pulling as hard as I could letting Cisco give out a sigh of relieve

This time I felt another, softer hand fall on mine immediately making me letting the sofa fall back onto Cisco.

"Uh sorry, I thought I would help. I'm Kara by the way. Kara Danvers." Her voice was angelic. A voice you would want to hear on your darkest day.

I noticed I was staring when her cheeks flushed and was holding her hand out in mid air.

"Barry Allen, pleasure to meet you." I took her small hand in mine. Her hand was warm to the touch

We stood there, staring into each other's eyes with a grin on both our faces. Her blue eyes on my green eyes

"Yeah great. I'm Cisco by the way! Make out later, help me!" Cisco's weak voice broke the comfortable silence.

"Sorry Cisco, again" The next ten minutes was spent getting the sofa up onto level ground.

"Okay, now that I'm not being crushed. Nice to meet you, my name is Cisco." Cisco took a courteous bow

"Uh, hey Cisco. I'm Kara, sorry about leaving you to be crushed." She said with a slight giggle that sent a shiver down my spine.

"Hey, Cisco. You want to go check if any of your gadgets got broken in the move? The boxes are quite flimsy" The rage that lit up Cisco's face was exactly what I was expecting.

"It's your head if anything is broken Allen!" He bound up the stairs three at a time.

"So Allen, moving upstairs I see. What room are you in?" Kara fixed her glasses as her eyes travelled up and down my lean frame.

Dragging my hand through my now messy dark locks to the back of my neck I also sized her up, she seemed to be a shy girl dressed modestly with a little smirk plastered on her face but her eyes, her eyes showed that she isn't a nervous girl that never talks to any guys. They were fierce but gentle at the same time, they were captivating.

"Cisco and I are moving right upstairs, I guess we are neighbours Danvers." Her smirk expanded to a full sized grin, and I had one to match.

"Well, I hope you and your girlfriend aren't too noisy" Her head fell to the floor but her eyes were still looking up.

"Ha, no girlfriend, but I can belt out a really good One Direction tune in the shower! But you need to keep house parties and date nights to a minimum as well." Her head shot straight back up with a suspicious look on her face.

"Really? You like to sing One Direction? I bet you break all your bathroom mirrors with your shower singing!" A faint call came from within the open door to Kara's dorm.

"Oh that's Alex, my sister. I will have to run now, see you another time Barry." Kara made for her door but in a moment of confidence I stepped up and gently grabbed her forearm.

"Hey Kara, if you're not busy tonight, a couple of my friends and I were gonna go to a karaoke bar in a couple hours. You and your sister could join us if you want, you know, to welcome each other to the dorms?" A moment of thought flashed in Kara's eyes, but only for a moment.

"Sure, I can talk Alex into it. When were you thinking of going?" Kara's eyes lit up brighter than all the lights in the hallway.

"We were gonna go about nine, giving us about five hours to get ready. We can come pick you and Alex up?" I never realised that I was still holding her arm until I saw another young woman inside calling on Kara and giving me a Death Glare.

"Okay, sounds perfect, but I gotta go. See you at nine Allen!"

With new found strength I begin dragging the sofa up the stairs... but ran in to the same problem of it still getting stuck on the stairs.

But right now I couldn't care less; I could get use to my name rolling off of Kara's tongue.

Allen. Allen. Allen.
