Summary: On the run from a crazy ex, Y/N runs up and kisses this random yet handsome guy. Oblivious to the fact that she's capturing her greatest hero, The Flash's mind, she goes on with her life. Though what happens on their next meet? Will Prince charming finally find his Cinderella?

"Can I kiss you?!" A girl popped up in front of Barry. She was out of breath, her forehead shining from the sweat after a what-seemed-like-a long run. Just when Barry was about to answer, her lips met his. If it hadn't been for the fact that she had taken him by surprise, he would have noticed so much more about her. Like the way her eyes sparkled when their gazes met, the way her hair seemed to perfectly frame her head, the way her chapped lips glowed in the daylight.
But she did take him by surprise, and all he could think of, were how those chapped, yet soft lips felt against his. It wasn't an ordinary setting for Barry (to have random girls coming up kissing him). Though for some reason, it felt natural. So he closed his eyes and started kissing back – a very un-Barry and bold move, that he instantly regretted when the warm feeling disappeared not long after.
"Thanks! You're a real hero!" It was just by pure luck, that Barry managed to get a slightly better look at her before she ran. The last thing he saw being a pair of red cheeks and Y/E/C eyes. It certainly was a way to brighten up his day – who wouldn't have liked to get kissed by a girl? Though at the same time, Barry still felt something fishy about what had just happened, and he was dying to know why the sudden urge for the beautiful girl to kiss him: it wasn't like that happened on a daily basis in Central City.
"Wow, what happened to you?" Iris's question shook Barry out of his thoughts. He smiled at her, and said: "What do you mean?"
"Well, by the grin on your face, I'd guess you just met your soulmate," he hadn't even noticed. However, merely seconds later, Barry could sense an ache in his cheeks.
"Who knows? Maybe I just did?" His clever smirk made wheels inside his best friend's head turning. 'What the hell did he mean by that?'
It had been weeks since the mystery girl had kissed Barry. Thoughts like: 'Who is she?', 'Is she alright?', 'Where is she now? Does she remember me?', 'Will she be here today? Am I unconsciously walking right next to her right now?', and 'Is that her?', had been roaming through Barry's mind, and was currently distracting him.
"Ooh!" Oliver's punch hit him hard, though Barry knew he kind of deserved it – needed it as well.
"Come on, Barry! You need to be focused! That's the reason you're here in the first place!" Green Arrow was right. Through the last couple of weeks, The Flash's problem of getting distracted had gotten big spots in the papers. He simply could not help it though, it was that girl. Whatever he would do to get her out of his head, it just wouldn't do. As if Cisco had read his mind, the latino spoke up: "Barr, you need to get Cinderella out of your head!" Of course, Barry had told Cisco, but at the confused look on the whole team Arrows' faces, it seemed like the speedster had to tell the rest how he had met his mystery girl.
"I really can't forget about her," Barry finished with an almost dramatic sigh. Furthermore, Cisco and Caitlin explained the poor consequences of Barry's "lovesick" state (to which Barry strongly disagreed, and corrected them with that he was "just curious, it was so random!" He had said).
"What if she's the one needing saving next time, Barry? What are you going to do then?! Because what you're doing now? That can't continue because your city is depending on you!"
Oliver's short lecture made Barry snap for some reason. Didn't he think Barry already knew that? That the fact that this girl was affecting his efficiency and job? And that it drove Barry insane, not knowing what to do when he saw people barely surviving because he wasn't there 100 percent? So he said just that to the green man, telling him exactly what he meant.
"Barry, you need to understand that this isn't high school, you have got to keep trying getting her out of your head. This isn't Football scouts you're trying to impress to get into a good college; This is real lives you're saving, and that girl is not helping you with that,"
"I swear it was just like in a movie," Y/N's best friend, Sophie, exclaimed to their other best friend.
"Soph, you weren't even there, and I had to do something to get away from Mike!" A part of Y/N was getting tired of her friend's obsession with what she had done weeks ago. It was a bold move. Maybe the boldest one she had made ever: She had run up to a complete stranger – a handsome guy if that made any difference, and kissed him.
"It was just like self-defence," Y/N continued, wrapping her stuff up before the librarian could come and shush them once again.
"I get that Mike was a bit crazy, but I can't believe you went so far!"
"Soph, he bought her a cat and raged when she said she was allergic," Bobby defended Y/N, reminding her why she liked him more than the girl sitting opposite of them.
"OK, so he was insane, but I just can't get away from the fact that Y/N Y/L/N simply ran up to a guy and just kissed him! He was handsome as well!" It was kind of interesting though, Y/N had to agree. Her plain old self-had gotten a little touch of excitement, and she couldn't deny that she liked what had happened.
"Aren't I handsome enough for ya?" Now was her time to leave. Leave before the two started their usual flirt-off.
"Of course, but this guy? He was the perfect guy for Y/N," Sophie continued, and Yn wasn't quite sure anymore if she wanted to hear the rest of this. Though she also knew that if she spent more time at this table, Mrs. Grey was going to associate her with the girl that had gotten banned from all the other libraries in the city – AKA Y/n would have to go to Starling.
"OK, I'm gonna go now before this develops, I have to get going if I want to get to the bank before they close anyway," it was kind of true. All of them knew she didn't exactly have to go but they went along with it even so. "But we'll see you later, right?" Sophie asked, changing the subject to something more serious.
"Sorry, promised the other I would do some research with the others," Y/N made an apologetic grimace as she turned down their monthly game night.
"I swear, your Flash-obsession will drive our friendship apart!" Bobby exclaimed before Y/N left the building.
The clear blue sky was getting covered up with gray clouds, making Y/N sigh. Of course, it would be raining the one day she didn't bring an umbrella. 'Better walk fast then,' she thought, pacing over to the bank. How did she always had to be so unlucky? Wasn't it enough that she had a cursed love life? Did she have to be both wet and miserable? Y/N could now see the big building, and without a further thought, she ran inside.
Y/N had just managed to take a deep breath before she heard it. The silence. That type of silence which made the hairs on your body raise. She looked around and took in the scene of what was going on. All the people were crouching on the ground, protecting themselves from the man dressed in black. The man with a big bag and a gun, which was currently pointing at another man dressed in a crimson suit. 'The Flash,' Y/N was star struck, but not for long. The second everyone could hear Y/N, all of the eyes were set on her – Flash included. It took Y/N mere seconds to understand what was happening. And just before the robber did it, she screamed.
"No!!" But it was already too late, the bullet had hit her hero.
