"Okay, I have coffee and bagels. Grab em' before they're gone." Y/N said as she entered the précising.
Joe grinned at the younger girl, slipping a coffee cup out of the carrier she was carrying. "Y/N, have I told you you're my favorite?"
"Not today." Y/N joked as she sat the items down on her desk, smiling when she saw Iris sitting at her father's desk. "Good morning, sunshine. Coffee?"
"You're asking a barista if she wants coffee?" Iris teased playfully, raising her dark eyebrows.
Y/N chuckled. "Okay, fair enough. How about a bagel?"
"That I will take you up on." Iris grinned, reaching into the white paper bag and grabbing one of the warm pastries from inside. "Any plans for tonight?"
"Ah, yes actually. I have a date with my TV and I'm wearing my couch." Y/N answered as she flopped down at her desk, taking a swig of her own coffee.
Iris rolled her eyes. "Why don't you come out with me and Eddie tonight? It's karaoke night at Tony's." She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.
Y/N rolled her eyes. "As fun as that sounds, I would rather not third wheel on date night. I appreciate you thinking of me, though." She smiled, tipping her head at her friend.
Iris sighed. "Fair enough. But one of these days, I will get you out of the house."
"Good luck tearing me away from Netflix." Y/N teased with a wink as Barry walked through the door.
"Hey, Joe, I think I found something on the-" The brunette cut himself off when his eyes landed on Y/N, a goofy smile forming on his lips. "H-Hey, Y/N!"
"Hey, Bare." Y/N smiled brightly at him, holding up the drink carrier that still held one last coffee inside. "Coffee? Last one."
"Yeah, thanks." Barry smiled, gladly taking the steaming cup. "Bagels too?"
"Yeah, you want one? I saved a chocolate chip one just for you." Y/N wiggled her eyebrows playfully.
Barry smiled, reaching into the paper bag. "You're too good to me."
"As hard as you work? You've earned it." Y/N smiled, looking down at her watch. "Oh, gotta run. I have a meeting in like ten minutes." She said, getting to her feet.
"Will I see you later?" Barry asked hopefully.
"Obviously. I expect my mid morning visit when I get back." Y/N winked playfully with a smile.
Barry blushed and smiled brightly. "Great."
"I'll see you later." Y/N said as she stood up and walked around her desk, planting a soft kiss on his cheek. "Bye!"
Barry's face broke out into a bright red and he smiled, wiggling his fingers in her direction as she walked out. "Bye.."
Iris laughed as she watched her best friend flounder over the other girl, whistling lowly as she got up and made her way to him. "You've got it bad for her, my friend."
Barry's eyes went wide and they darted to his dark haired friend. "Was it that obvious?"
"Are you kidding? Ray Charles could have seen that from a mile away." Joe said, raising his eyebrows from his desk.
Barry rolled his eyes. "Gee, thanks."
Iris chucked. "Look, Bare, I don't understand why you don't just ask her out. I mean, the worst she can do is say no."
"Exactly. She'll say no, and then she'll know I like her, and then working together will he intensely awkward, and it will be all my fault." Barry ranted.
Iris arched an eyebrow. "She could say yes."
"But what if she doesn't?"
"I think you'll live."
"Iris."
"Barry." Iris groaned, tipping her head backward. "You're killing me here! I can't keep watching you pine after her, it's like watching a love sick puppy looking for attention."
"He is a lovesick puppy."
"Shut up, Joe."
"Look, why don't you do something cute?" Iris suggested. "Send her flowers or something, get her candy, be romantic! Let her know you're interested."
Barry bit his lip before nodding slowly as a smile began to creep onto his face. "You know what? You're right. Thanks, Iris." He grinned before pecking her cheek and racing out of the précising.

When Y/N returned from her meeting, she was greeted by a small tin box sitting on her desk that had a note taped to the top. She took the note off and opened up the tin, seeing her favorite chocolate chip cookies sitting inside. She smiled brightly, seeing they were still warm and fresh from the oven, before she opened the note and began to read.
Y/N,
It only seemed fair I get you these, since you got me a bagel this morning. :) Maybe you can tell me how good they were over dinner tonight?
Love, Barry
When Y/N looked up again, she saw Barry standing in the doorway, shifting lightly on his feet as he smiled sheepishly over at her.
The girl grinned. "Pick me up at 6:00?"
Barry smiled. "I'll be there."
A/N- I had a lot of fun with those one, so I hope you enjoyed!! Sorry it took so long to get out!! I love you guys!! ❤️ ~Hayden
