After Iris confesses her feeling for Barry, instead of traveling back in time he goes away to think, and another female comes to check on him resulting in another confessions
Pairing: Barry/ Felicity
Prompt: Barry/Felicity
(Earth 1) Central City: Star Labs
Barry was sitting on top of Star Labs, overlooking the city. Thinking about his conversation with Iris earlier that night. Team Flash had defeated Zoom but at a cost, Barry's father had been killed by Zoom which resulted in the Team locking him in the pipeline. Iris had finally confessed her feeling to him, at the party that they had celebrating. Something about it felt off to him.
"I figure I would find you up here" Remarked a female voice, Barry turned to see who it was
"Hey Felicity" Greeted Barry as Felicity came and sat next to him
"I heard what happened and wanted to check on you." admitted Felicity
"I am doing alright; I mean it feels kind of hollow." Admitted Barry sadly
"I am sure you will get over it eventually. You have all of us" Reminded Felicity
"Yeah" admitted Barry as silence reigned
"You know that Iris finally admitted her feeling for me" Revealed Barry as he looks towards the city
"Really?" asked Felicity surprised
"Yeah. I know that I wanted it for a long time, but it feels kind of … "Trailed off Barry
"Hollow" Finished Felicity
"Yeah" Stated Barry softly
"Oliver and I broke up" Blurted out Felicity
"I am sorry" apologized Barry
"It is not your fault. We have been drifting apart" admitted Felicity
"I wonder what it could have been like, if you had stayed" stated Barry
"We will never know will we" Shared Felicity
"No" Shared Barry
"I always thought we would be good together. Yet we were hanged up on people who did not even notice us, and it was not all it turned out to be. For me at least" Stated Felicity
"I know." Admitted Barry as he turned to Felicity
"We really were idiots weren't we" Stated Felicity
"Of not noticing what was in front of us?" Guessed Barry
"Yeah" Stated Felicity softly
"We could give us a chance" Offered Barry
"How about we wait, just for a little while. Let you get over your father's death, I will be here every step" Stated Felicity
"Alright" Conceded Barry
"How about you let it all out" Offered Felicity as Barry laid in her lap and cried
Iris came to find Barry, and correctly guessed that he would be at Star Labs and went to the roof and paused. He was sitting on Felicity lap as she saw Felicity kiss his forehead and she knew. She knew who Barry had picked, and it was not her.
