Does anyone remember when this was the original "Flashette" cover? Looking back at this reminds me of how far we've come. Thank you for making this series into what it is today! -Flashette1
*This takes place before Charry, and has no contribution to the plotline. Enjoy!*

Chloe POV:
After a long night of testing our powers at S.T.A.R Labs, I was feeling more exhausted than I'd ever been. Barry placed his keys in the bowl on the table beside the door and walked into the kitchen, while I walked into the living room and threw myself onto the couch. I then clicked on the remote, looking for a show to watch a few minutes of before I went to bed. I settled on "Bob's Burgers". A few moments later, I could feel my eyelids getting heavier as everything faded to black.

3rd Person POV:
     "I have some snacks if you're--" Barry began as he picked up the snack tray off the counter and stepped out into the living room to see his best friend passed out on the couch. Before going any further, Barry turned around to bring the tray into the kitchen and stood in the doorway, watching Chloe with a smile. He continued to look at her resting figure with pure adoration as she lay motionless, her chest slowly rising and falling with every breath. Times like these made him think of the missed opportunities. He had chances multiple times before to make his move, but his shyness caused him to not take them.
The more he continued to observe, the more involved he wanted to be in her life. He thought she didn't feel the same, or would reject him because of the fact that they were practically siblings.
With a long sigh, Barry walked slowly over to Chloe's sleeping figure and clicked off the tv. He then grabbed her cellphone and picked her up bridal style, being careful not to wake her. He then carried her up the stairs, attempting to make less noise as possible. When he reached the end of the hall, he opened her bedroom door slowly and brought her to her bed, placing her down gently. Lastly, he placed her phone on her bedside table face down and covered her with her blankets.
"Goodnight," Barry whispered, stroking her forehead with his thumb. Looking down at her in that moment made him wish she was his. It wasn't until moments like these when he wished he had taken action sooner, or discovered these feelings before going after the wrong girl.
Barry bent down slowly and planted a small kiss on Chloe's forehead before turning slowly on his heel to walk out the door. To his surprise, he was pulled back by a small tug at his arm. When he turned back around, Chloe had a hold on his wrist.
"You missed," she whispered, opening her eyes slowly and blinking a few times before meeting his gaze. Barry's cheeks became flushed with light tint of pink at the realization that she was partially awake.
"W-what do you mean?" Barry asked, his other hand meeting the back of his neck and giving it a scratch. Chloe chuckled at his innocence and tugged harder on his wrist, causing Barry to stumble foreword and perfectly connect their lips into a delicate, but passionate, kiss. Chloe then placed a hand to Barry's cheek as he pulled away, their eyes never parting.
"Goodnight, Allen," Chloe replied with a small smile. Barry placed a hand to his lips in disbelief as he turned to walk away. Barry had never felt this way before, and his smile grew wider as the last few seconds replayed through his head. He knew they would talk about it more in the morning, but he wanted answers now. Barry was so ecstatic, he could barely settle down long enough to fall asleep.
