"Come on! I won't look, just let me take it off. Assure me that it isn't glued to your body, and there is an actual human underneath all that...sexy...leather."
"Sexy, huh?" Barry laughed, giving himself a once over before looking back up at Iris. "You want to take my mask off, but not look at my face?" He continued. Though he was blurring his face, Iris could still tell he had a large smile stretched from ear to ear. Barry let out a sigh.
"So?" Iris pried, taking a few steps towards him.
"Yeah...no."
"Oh come on!" She whined.
"How exactly can I be sure you aren't going to look?"
Iris frowned. "Do you know how much it is killing me not to know who you are? I mean, I actually might die. You don't want that, do you, Flashie?" She gave him the most adorable look she could muster.
"You're not exactly helping your case, Iris."
She rolled her eyes. "Please? I'll get a blindfold."
"I...no." Barry took a step back. "I can't risk it."
"Fine. At least tell me your name."
Barry stroked his chin in a joking manner. "Hmm. You mean something like Jimmy?"
"That isn't your name." Iris giggled. "Is it Nick?"
"No."
"Brian?"
"No."
"Oscar?"
"Oscar? Are you kidding me?"
"Hey, for all I know you could have a really weird name."
Barry smiled. That was true after all.
"Harry, Louis, Liam, Niall, Zayn?"
"For goodness sake, Iris, now you're just naming One Direction members."
"Hmm, so you know who One Direction is, good to know." Iris acted as though that information was actually helpful.
Barry rolled his eyes at how cute she was being right now. "I'm not going to tell you, so save your breath."
Iris let out a childish huff and turned to look at the city streets.
Barry stepped closer to Iris. He couldn't help but want to give in. Saying no to her was already so hard. "Alright, I'll let you ask one question about me."
Iris spun around. "Really?" She might have screamed if she was being completely honest with herself.
"But it can't be something that would reveal my identity."
Iris clapped her hands. "Okay. Uh, what is the first letter of your name?"
Barry paused for a second.
"B."
"B?"
"Yep."
"Hmm, Brody?"
"No."
"How about Ba-"
Iris was cut off when Barry jumped and then placed a finger to his comms.
"Meta? Where? Okay." Barry looked up from the ground and gave Iris a sad smile. "Sorry, I have to go."
Iris nodded. "Go be a hero…Ben?"
"No!" Barry laughed before speeding off.
