Y/N sat frozen in her seat, her eyes wide was she attempted to process the info just given to her.
"Y/N?" Iris said, biting her lip and fiddling nervously with her fingers. She sighed desperately. "Y/N, say something. Please?"
"Barry...likes me? As in our Barry?" Y/N whispered, looking up at her best friend.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to tell you! It just slipped out before I could stop it!"
"But...he likes me?" Y/N asked, looking desperately up at the other female for confirmation. Iris couldn't help but giggle softly, plopping down next to her.
"Likes you? He never shuts up about you, Y/N. You're all he ever talks about. It's kind of annoying sometimes to be completely honest." She teases, making Y/N snort.
"Wow, thanks." She muttered sarcastically. Iris laughed.
"Oh, come on, you know I'm joking." She said, draping an arm around her friend and leaning her head on her shoulder. Y/N gratefully sagged into her best friend's touch, closing her eyes and inhaling slowly through her nose.
"What should I do?" She murmured, to which Iris looked up at her like she was bat crap crazy.
"What do you mean what should you do? You're gonna march your cute little ass down to the station and tell Barry you like him too!" Y/N's eyes practically bugged out of her head and she looked at her best friend.
"How did you-"
"As if I haven't seen the way you look at him, woman. I know you much too well." Iris grinned. Y/N chuckled.
"I hate you." She grinned, making both girls giggle. "You really think I should tell him?"
"I think you'll regret it if you don't." Iris said, rubbing her friend's shoulder gently. Y/N smiled.
"Okay."
⚡️⚡️⚡️
Y/N dashed into the police station her eyes searching the common area for her best friend. She smiled brightly when she saw him. He was wearing one of his usual sweaters and his chestnut hair was slicked back the way it always was. She started to make her way towards him, feeling nothing but confidence coursing through her veins.
But it was short lived as she watched Patty walk up to Barry, flashing him an award winning smile before pressing her lips to his. Y/N froze. She watched as their lips moved together carefully before they separated, Patty saying one or two things to Barry before disappearing back down the hall. Barry turned around and locked eyes with his best friend, a broad smile taking over his face at the sight of her.
"Y/N! Hey!" He grinned, making his way over. Despite her aching heart and burning eyes, Y/N smiled brightly and moved forward to meet her best friend.
"Hey," she said quietly as she was pulled into a hug.
"I'm glad you're here, I wanted to ask you if-" Barry stopped when he saw the tears in his best friend's eyes, his brow furrowing. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"Hm? Oh, nothing, I just.." Y/N trailed off, looking up at her best friend and sighing. "Just stressed out. It's been a long day, you know?" She gave a watery laugh.
"Oh, hey," Barry murmurs, gently pulling Y/N back against his chest. "Need me to kick the ass of that douche bag boss of yours?" He joked, to which Y/N couldn't help but giggle softly.
"No, no, that's okay. I can manage." She whispered, snuggling her face into his sweater and holding him tightly, as if he would fade into thin air if she didn't. And right now, she felt like he would. "P-Please just hold me, okay?"
"Okay, okay..." Barry cooed, gently swaying his best friend back and forth. "Hey, tonight, you, me, movie night. What do you think? Your choice." Y/N smiled weakly and gripped his sweater, nodding against his chest.
"That sounds great." She whispered, ignoring the shattering of her heart as she said it.
