( again Barry has his powers in college. )

    Barry walked around his college campus. His head was dug into a book, so he couldn't see where he was going. He was occasionally writing things down on the side of the page. Before he knew it, Barry's books were smashed between him and a random girl.
    They both fell to the ground. Barry quickly looked up to see a Iris West. He had only seen her around campus a couple of times, but when he did, he stared.

   "I'm so sorry" Barry said quickly leaning forward to pick up her booked for her.
   "It's okay, I really wasn't looking where I was going" Iris laughed. Barry stood up and handed her stuff to her.
    "I-im Barry by the way. Barry Allen" he said, sticking his hand out to shake it. Iris kindly took his hand into hers and smiled.
    "Iris West." She said. They smiled at each other casually.
    "I- I should get going. To class I mean." Barry studdered, starting to walk nervously in the opposite direction as Iris. She turned around quickly to stop him.
    "Hey um... My friends and I are having a party today, if you want to come..." She said, pushing her hair behind her ear.
    "Your- your inviting me t-to a party?" He sat in wonder for a moment. "No- not no, yeah I would love to!" He said, laughing nervously.
    "Okay... I'll see you then" she said, she walked back in the direction Barry had come from. Barry silently celebrated as he walked his way to class.

     Later that day, Barry stood at Iris' door, his hand trembling before as he held it up, ready to knock. The music inside was pounding loudly. When he finally knocked, Iris opened it. Barry couldn't help but stare. She was beautiful in his eyes. The way her smiled curved up when she saw him. She pushed her hair behind her ear again and began to speak.
    "Come in, come in. You look... Great" she said.
    "I-i didn't know what to wear. I don't go to alot of partys" Barry studdered standing awkwardly as Iris closed the door.
    "No you dressed perfectly for it." She said. "There is beer, soda, water if you want anything" she said.
      A crash came from the living room. Iris quickly looked over to see three boys standing around some broken glass. She left without saying anything to clean up the mess. Barry watched her try and squeeze past the boys. The touched and prodded at her. Barry's hand tensed at the sight.
     Barry thought that Iris was amazing to say the least. And he remembered the smallest detail about everything she did. As a speedster, he was able to slow down time, and he did. Everytime he saw her, he would go fast enough to slowdown time, just to look at the way her hair curved, or how her dark brown eyes would glow in the sun. But seeing other guys look at her inappropriately made him feel angry.
    Barry quickly walked over to Iris and the other boys. She had been pushing them away.
    "Hey man, she obviously doesn't want you touching her, just get away" Barry said stepping in between one of the boys and Iris.
    "Barry you don't have to-" Iris was cut off by one of the boys.
    "Yeah, Barry. You don't have to do that." The boy shoved Barry into another boy.
     "Don't touch him!" Iris said sternly.
    "Get back bitch." He said, pushing Iris to the couch.
     "Dude you our really drunk, just get out of here" Barry said. A sharp pain came to Barry's face. The boy had punched him. The last thing Barry remembered was blacking out.

    Barry woke up to a cold sensation on his eye. He groaned as he sat up.
    "That was really stupid you know" Iris said. Barry looked over. She was sitting in her pajamas on the other side of the room.
     "He was touching you. I couldn't just let it happen" Barry said, still groggy from what happened. He held an ice pack to his eye. Iris walked over and tried to look at it.
    "You heal fast huh? Your black eye is almost gone." She chuckled.
     "You didn't have to do this you know. If you would have just woken me up, I could have gotten home." Barry said.
     "It's fine. Better than being home alone actually.." she said. Barry looked at her. She was wearing shorts and a shirt with a pizza heart on it. He chuckled at the sight of her.
    "Im sorry I messed up your party." Barry said, dropping his head.
    "It's okay...I've never actually had anyone stand up for me like that. I really do appreciate it." She said. Before Barry could think, he kissed her.
    He didn't care what they were talking about anymore. All he could think about is how soft her lips were. But reality soon hit him. He just kissed a girl that may have had no attraction to him at all. He pulled away quickly.
    "I- I'm so-sorry." Barry said. Iris didn't say anything. She grabbed him by the face and kissed him back. Barry shaked with super speed in excitement. He pulled away quickly.
    "What was that?" Iris asked.
    "I-im sorry. I just got excited" Barry studdered nervously.
      "Oh?" Iris chuckled. She went to go kiss him again, but Barry's phone began to ring.
     "S-sorry." He said, quickly getting up and starting to walk out. "I- I have to... This is important" he said. Iris just nodded. Barry apologized again. When he got out of the house he quickly picked it up.
     "Cisco! You are like the biggest cock block ever!" He said, before speeding to star labs.
