I Love You
Barry POV:
It has been two days since our lunch date, and we are finally going out for a proper date. As in dinner and a romantic stroll along the promenade, date.
I have no idea what to wear, suit and tie, sweater, shirt and tie, smart shoes converse. Joe has already threatened to shoot me if I change outfits once more.
Then do I bring flowers, or is that trying too hard? Or do I bring a single flower, not trying as hard but can be seen as cheesy.
I have never wanted to impress someone more than I have wanted to impress Kara. Joe told me that Kara likes me and that it is me that she wants to go out with.
So just be me.
Kara POV:
Tonight is my big date. I am going to dress nice, this is, after all, my first date in like forever.
I skyped Alex and she told me to wear blue, as blue is my colour, and to have my hair down. I would love to have my glasses off, but I promised Jeremiah I would always leave them on.
I feel excited about tonight. Like butterflies in my stomach excited. Alex says that I am hopelessly in love, and when I asked her if it was too soon she said that the heart wants, what the heart wants. Whatever that means.
Barry POV:
When I eventually made it to the restaurant, I was a few minutes late. In my defence, I stopped to pick up a flower on my way. My heart almost stopped when I saw her, she was breathtaking, her eyes were so blue that they almost hurt to look at. And her smile, her smile made my heart melt.
"Sorry I'm late, this is for you." She smiled even brighter when I gave her the rose.
"Aww, Barry. You shouldn't have." Kara leaned in for a kiss and it was like all my worries about the date disappeared.
Kara POV:
Dinner went amazingly. We spoke more in-depth about our families. I told him the pre-planned lie about my parents dying in a fire, which wasn't entirely a lie, and I swear I could see him tearing up.
When he told me about his mothers' murder I was shocked. But I believed him when he said that a man in lightning killed her. After all, I am the impossible.
Once dinner was over we went for a walk along the promenade, overlooking the river. It was so romantic, all the lights of the city were reflected off the water.
We made it to the pavilion, and that was equally romantic with all of the fairy lights shining. We just stood there holding each other looking out at the water.
I could hear Barry's heart rate speed up, and I could tell he was nervous about something when he cleared his throat.
"I know that it is probably to soon to say this." He turned to look at me with this look that I couldn't describe in his eyes. "I need to tell you, and it is okay if you don't feel the same way, but I need to tell you. I love you."
I let out a breath that I didn't even know that I was holding and smiled. "I love you too. I was worried that I was going to scare you off if I said anything."
Smiling Barry took my face in his hands and kissed me, with such love and tenderness, I could feel tears in my eyes.
For the first time since I left Krypton. I truly felt at home.
