Prompt from Kyanna Lashae. Iris finds out about Barry being the Flash while he's asleep because he talks in his sleep or he sleepwalks.

It was the only three day weekend that all three of them didn't have to work, and Iris had conned Barry into staying over at her father's house with her. They were going to have a sleepover in the living room, just the two of them like they did when they were little.

Barry was nervous. Ever since he was little he had slept walked whenever he was feeling guilty, and he was certainly feeling guilty right now. He was keeping two huge secrets from his best friend. Huge secrets. Now was not the time to be having a sleep over with the one person who knew him better than everyone else in the world. She had known his sleep walking was a sign of guilt, and she would be on his case. Iris always woke up when he started sleep walking, it was like she had a sixth sense for it.

Iris sat excitedly on the living room in her old house. Eddie hadn't been all too happy about this plan, especially when she told him she just wanted it to be her and Barry. She still wasn't really sure why, though. He had gotten far madder than she thought was reasonable. It wasn't as if Barry returned her less than platonic feelings for him, and she really cared about Eddie, but he was starting to act possessive of her since she had moved in with him. If he kept it up for another week, she would be out. Out of his apartment, out of this relationship, and as out of his life as she could be considering that he was her father's partner.

Barry was running late again, and Iris was going crazy. Iris heard his key slide into the lock, ran to the door, and flung it open.

"Hi Bear." He laughed at the giddy expression on her face, and gave her a hug.

"How long have you been waiting for me?" He tilted his head.

"About half an hour." Iris shot him a fake glare.

"What?! I'm only like five minutes late. I swear!" Barry looked down at his watch, and sighed in relief.

"I know. I'm just excited, we haven't done this in, like, forever." Iris swung her hands around crazily.

"Okay." Barry was still standing partially outside. Iris grabbed his hand and yanked him inside.

"C'mon. C'mon. Did you understand the part about being really excited?!"

"Wha-" Barry said as she yanked him again toward the living room couch.

Barry sat down on the couch, and Iris laid down with her feet on his lap. He smiled at how comfortable she could be around him. He hoped that comfort would last. Barry was not unaware of the potential this sleepover had to spill his secrets.

Iris sighed in happiness as he grabbed one of her feet and began to gently massage her feet. She had always told him while they were growing up that if he didn't love science so much he would have to have been a masseuse. He had replied that his massages would be saved specifically for her. It had been one of the few things that had given her hope of a more serious relationship in their early adult lives, but those little moments were fleeting and rare, so she had never had the courage to act on her feelings. What if she had been misreading those things? If she broke up with Eddie, she would lose a great relationship, but if she broke up with Barry, she would lose a life-long friendship and what would probably be the best relationship she could ever have.

Or if they didn't break up, she allowed herself to think as he switched to her other foot, her heart racing at his soft touch. They could be happier than ever for the rest of their lives.

The two friends were not as young as they once were. They fell asleep well before midnight, Barry too despite his desperate attempts to stay awake.

Iris woke up as her feet slide off of Barry's moving form. Where could he be going?

"Hey, Bear. What's going on?" She waited for a response but none came. "Bear?" She got up to follow him and found that he was still asleep. "Oooooooooooh. Whatcha feeling so guilty about Barry?" Her voice was teasing but also curious. She knew her question would get a response until she repeated it in the waking hours of the day, or at least that's what she thought.

If Barry had known he would start running in his sleep walking state he would have fought a bit harder to get out of this whole re-creation of childhood memories sleep over thing, but he didn't, so he did what he always did; anything to make the woman he loved feel happy, cared for and worthwhile.

"C'mon Bear." Iris finally caught him after about three minutes of him continually racing out of her reach. She dragged him back to the couch with her and made him lie down. It was harder than she thought it would be. He had gotten a lot stronger in the past few months since he woke up from his coma. He would have had to in all his time saving the city. She still didn't know how to react to all of this. She loved him, but he had been keeping a humongous secret from her.

For now she just curled up partially beside him, partially on top of him to keep him lying down. She fell asleep and didn't feel his arm wrap around her protectively until she woke up the next morning still curled up with him. She refused to let herself imagine a situation in which she could do this every day. Iris had spent years trying to hide those forbidden feelings.

"I know you're awake, Iris. You're breathing changed."

"Oh, do you, Flash?" She felt Barry go rigid beneath her.

"Iris, I-" Barry started. He was fairly certain he knew how she found out.

"I had pretty much all night to think about it, and I understand. Don't get me wrong I disagree whole heartedly with you thinking I need to be protected from everything, but I understand. Just tell me that's your last secret. Please." Iris turned to look him straight in the eye.

"I can't do that."

"Why not? What else have you been keeping from me?" She could feel her heart break little by little.

"I love you. Not just as a friend. I have loved you forever, and I know you're with-"

Iris cut Barry off with a kiss.

"I love you too, Bear. I wish you would have come clean to me earlier." She kissed him again before she heard a knock on the door.

Joe was the one to answer it. "Hi, Eddie." He said the name loud enough for his kids to hear. Barry's eyes widened, and he and Iris jumped apart.

Sorry to end so abruptly, but that's all I have time for. Love ya.
