Hello hello! Apologies for the radio silence, I've been doing most of my computing via my phone these days and, speaking of which, it's how I posted this chapter lol
A solar eclipse is happening today and this little gem popped in my head :)
Disclaimer: I don't own The Flash or its characters.
"I cannot believe you did this. I know your common sense is severely lacking—"
"Hey!"
"But you are a scientist, Barry! You know the risks and you blatantly ignored them for some…some DARE!"
Barry tracks Julian's voice and feels the couch cushions dip at his feet. The speedster nudges his boyfriend's knee in a placating manner.
Julian fixes a harsh glare at Barry, not that the brunet can see it anyway. This is not what he expected to find when he returned from work today: his metahuman boyfriend afflicted with eclipse blindness, and all because a certain engineer dared him to; all in the name of science, my bloody arse.
"I am going to murder Cisco," Julian grumbles.
Barry sits up and blindly reaches for the irate blond. His hand finds a shoulder and curls around it. Julian relaxes, albeit slightly, at his touch.
"Julian, I'm sorry but I'm okay, really. I've been through worse scrapes than this. I'll heal good as new."
Julian huffs, "You better be, or you're time-traveling back to stop your idiot past self."
The speedster laughs. "Deal."
Not my best, quickly typed this out on the fly.
Remember, kids, staring at eclipses is bad. Stay safe! :D
