Prompts: I can not actually believe you would do this, you promised me #57 I did it because I love you #58

Barry Pov

I let out the breath I had been holding when I realized I was standing in the middle of the Cortex. I looked around trying to find anyone from Team Flash, but more importantly, I was trying to find you. If my calculations were correct I should be back in 2016. You see I'm from the future. But that's not important right now, what's important is finding you.

"Woah Barry, what're you doing here? Thought you were supposed to be in Star City." The team walked into the Cortex. I let out a sigh of relief when I saw you standing in between Cisco and Caitlin.

"I had to come back for something." I shrugged and walked towards the three of them.

"Hold up." Cisco stepped forward, examining my suit. "Who are you." He held his arm out, shielding the two girls.

"It's me guys." I sighed

"No, no it isn't. The emblem on your suit is different." He shook his head and backed away, pushing the two girls behind him.

"I'm from the future." I stated

"The future." You let out a humorless laugh. "Prove it." You rolled your eyes and I chuckled. I love your attitude.

"What do you want to know?" I asked

"Where are you right now?" You asked

"What day is it?" I questioned

"January seventeenth, twenty-sixteen." Caitlin answered

"I'm in Star City talking to Oliver about some... family matter." I answered

"Wrong you're in Star City to he-"

"He's not lying." You cut Cisco off as you stepped forward past him. "What are you doing here?" You asked "I can not actually believe you would do this, you promised me." You paused "You promised me you wouldn't time travel, not after what happened last time."

"I'm sorry (Y/n). Trust me I am. I just have to do this, before I lose the chance." I let out a sad chuckle.

"What's wrong?" You asked. I lifted the mask off my head and ran my hand through my hair. "Barry what happens in the future?" You ask as you reached out and grabbed my upper arm.

"You uh. You get hurt." I sigh

"Does she die?" Caitlin asked worriedly

"No, no. It's not that kind of hurt." I shook my head "Look (y/n). I'm going to come back from this Star City trip a little different. And I don't want you to take it the wrong way. I want you to know that I'm going to push you away, and I'm going to be distant. But please, please fight for me. I'm not right when I get back, something happens in Star City and it changes me." I run my hands over my face.

"Why are you telling me this?" You ask

"Because I'm going to say some shit to you, and none of it's going to be true. But trust me when I say that I did it because I love you." I finish

"I love you too Barry." You reached up and held my cheek in your hand.

"Please don't leave me." I sigh quietly.

"Wouldn't dream of it." You smiled
