Future Lies // Harrison Wells (Eobard)

22. Think about your future

He'd asked me to analyze the blood's sample of the metahuman. If the man was able to steal Barry's powers, it could be the key to eliminate the powers of the metahumans locked in the pipeline. And that's the closest we've come to a solution.

- Done - I said putting my arms up in the air, Harrison was in the kitchen preparing dinner.

- Great, leave it here, would you - He said pointing at the table with a fork - Dinner's ready - I took the tablet with me and went to the kitchen. I left the dispositive on the right side of where Harrison was and stood on his left.

- So - I took the plate full of food that Harrison handed to me.

-What, baby? - He stood by my side and took a bite of his food.

- Misinformed, shortsighted, huh? - I took a piece of carrot with my fingers, and bring it to my mouth.

He smiled and then laughed - You need to admit, that people are like that - I laughed harder than him and shook my head - No? - I kept shaking my head, and I made the movement of no with my mouth but didn't make a sound - Really? - He drank of his cup of wine.

People are amazing and intriguing, and nice, and noble, and - I stopped talking when he chuckled - I'm serious - I said rolling my eyes.

- I know, I know - he left the cup on the table and turn his body to face mine, and looked at me, then, caressed my cheek - One day, they'll be like that - He sighed - I hope - he smiled at me.

- I hope that too -

- And I'm sure - he straightened his body, and cupped my face with his hands - that you're going to help them with that -

- Do you think I'm some kind of preacher? Because you keep saying that -

- Oh, you are better - he moved closer to me, and I rounded his waist - Because you don't push people to your ideas, you let them see a different view of the same thing, and - He moved closer, making the peak of our noses touch - you're really beautiful -

- What does that have to do with anything - I whispered, feeling the flesh of my cheeks burn.

- Nothing, really. Just an observation - He said before joining our lips slowly and deeply.

When we finished dinner, we went to our room, he sat in front of his desk and started reading my analysis, I, on the other side, was preparing the floor for us to sleep. - Rhia - He broke the silence with his always silky voice.

- Yeah? - I unbent and smiled at him, He sighed and stayed looking at me, I waited for him to speak up, but he wasn't saying a word. I started moving the fingers of my feet and placed my hands behind me - So? - He sighed again.

- I don't want to sound like a boring grandpa, but - He finally talked, and I bit my lip trying not to laugh at that - you should start thinking about your future - He finished and crossed his arms.

- My future? - I walked towards him, and he nodded - I'm thinking about my future, Doctor -

I was now in front of him now - Are you - he put his arms by his sides and let go a sigh, and I smirked.

- Yeah - I passed my fingers through his hair and let my hand land on the back of his neck - I'm thinking, that in the future - He smiled - we're going to sleep on the floor. After having some fun, of course - he chuckled and set his hands on my waist.

When we were laying on the floor, recovering our breath, I rolled out and settled myself on top of him. I placed my elbows on both sides of his head and smiled brightly at him, he smiled back, and I kissed him in response.

- I love you - I said and kissed his cheek, then the other, following his chin and his jaw, and then his temples.

- I love you too - I gave him a quick kiss, and we looked at each other. I tried not to smile too much, but I couldn't, I felt happy, so happy with him by my side.

- You know that we care about you. right? That, the team would do anything for you, that I would do anything for you, I, I felt so impotent, I wanted to do something, but I froze --

- Rhia - He whispered.

- Harrison, I will protect you, like you protect me, we'll be fine. You don't have to worry about the future - He opened his mouth but closed it again, then, he stroked my hair, and I smiled.

- But. Rhia - He said in a tone of voice that I've never heard him use with me, he sighed and closed his eyes for a brief moment - I already said this, you're young, I am not, people don't trust me --

- Harrison - I said loudly - Don't do this again, I love you and I don't care about anything else - I took a deep breath - We'll be fine - I passed my fingers through his forehead and cheek - I love you -

- I love you too, so much - he united our lips, looking for reassurance, it was different from the other times, it was needy, almost aggressive, he eventually slowed down his pace - I do - he whispered, still close to my face - I do -

I smiled at him, and he caressed my hair. After looking at each other, making sure we both were on the same page, he gave me a peck on the lips and told me goodnight, I did the same and laid on his chest, closing my eyes and feeling his warm skin with my fingertips and his hands resting on my back.
