For my first West-Allen recreation, I knew that there was no way that I couldn't start with Barry's proposal (well, the second one) from the episode Duet where Barry proposes to Iris. Special thank you to AgentofDreams989, whose absolutely amazing Arrowverse recreations inspired me to create some of my own. Thank you so much!
If you love West-Allen, or even if you love the heart behind The Flash, then you probably love this scene. When I think of sweet moments in the Arrowverse (especially romantic ones), this one is right up at the top. I mean, Barry literally wrote a whole new song to propose to her with! It was really heartwarming to get to recreate this touching, loving, and eye watering moment, along with getting to add some afterwards stuff (with a little bit of humor to it) that had my own touch of heart between these two. Anyways, sorry for a ramble, you probably want to get to reading (and listening if you want to play the music in the background while you read)! Hope you all enjoy, and always come running home in a Flash (sweet pun!).
Barry watched as Iris flipped the lights on in the dark apartment, which casted their faint glow across the place, although most of it still remained cloaked in the night's darkness.
He gently closed the door as he followed her inside, Iris holding her folded coat in her arms.
" You didn't change anything when I moved in with Cisco," Barry commented, his hands stuffed in his pockets as he looked around at what used to be his home only a few days prior.
" I, um, couldn't bring myself to do it." Iris said, a faint smile on her face, Barry letting out a quiet laugh.
" You know, we've been through a lot these last three years, but, um, getting stuck in a musical?" Iris laughed, her hands placed on her hips jovially.
" Music Mesiter, said that, you know, it could've been anything, that I created that world because..." Barry started.
" You were watching them. Because of us." Iris finished thoughtfully, a tinge of sadness in her voice about their past fight, a half smile on Barry's face as he lightly nodded his head.
" My mom used to always say that musicals have the power to make everything better." Barry explained fondly.
" Did it work?" Iris asked, a slight sigh finishing her sentence.
" Um..." Barry said, clearing his throat as he grabbed his phone from his coat's pocket, a look of confusion coming to Iris as she watched him.
Once he had it in his hand, he pressed play on the song that he had pulled up, its gentle piano music starting to play as he placed it on the table, a small smile adding itself onto Iris' expression as she shook her head slightly, letting out a quiet laugh as she looked at him.
As Barry took in the look of the beautiful woman standing across from him, the love of his life, a happy smile spreading across his face, he began to sing.
" Can't say how the days will unfold,
Can't change what the future may hold
But, I want you in it
Every hour, every minute."
He sang, both of them staring into each other's loving eyes from across the small distance, as Barry slowly walked over to her.
" This world can race by far too fast
Hard to see while it's all flying past
But, it's clear now,
