Roommates

You guys. You guys. You guys. Ohhhhhhh. 8,000. That's how many reads you all have given me. We're #7 in the Snowbarry tag and in all honesty, this makes me really nervous. We're 2,000 reads away from hitting 10k. Even though I said 100k last time... I wasn't very good at math. I'm pretty sure I meant 10k last chapter. But the point is that I have a lot more planned for this story, and we're not even maybe halfway through it. They're barely beginning the semester and I can't wait for you guys to see what I have in store for Barry and Caitlin, and the rest of the group. And I know how it's going to end and you'll probably hate me for it. But anyway. I really really really REALLY do want to thank you all and I want to give a shoutout to IAMGODSPEED  (you're pretty cool). So thank you from the deepest and bottomest of my heart.

[Barry]

If you didn't think Barry would consider Jessica a friend, you'd be wrong. Barry and Jessica hang out because of their movie night and Jessica's the only person that will tell Barry like it is.

So, naturally, Barry told her Monday morning about their awkward moment Sunday night and Jessica slapped him upside the head.

"Ow! For real? Why'd you hit me?"

"Because you're a dumb piece of shit. You really can't see that you need to talk to her?"

"I think we need more time."

Jessica gave him a look. "Are you dumb? You want more time? If you don't talk to her now, then any chance that you two have at being together will go flying away. Just like the chances of seeing her naked."

Barry gave her a look. "Really? You think I'm going to see her naked?"

"Not if you don't talk to her. You've seen her topless and braless. You definitely liked it."

Barry's cheeks turned red. "Can you stop bringing that up?"

Jessica gave a cheeky smile. "Nope. I'm going to tease you even after you two get married."

"You sound like Cisco now. He thinks we'll get together."

"Oh, you will. Then you'll get married and have beautiful babies."

Barry rolled his eyes. "Stop."

"Why are you so in denial?"

Barry shrugged. "I don't like her. I don't have romantic feelings for her."

"Yet."

"Jessica."

She held up her hands. "Okay. I won't tease you about that anymore."

"Thank you."

"So who do you like then?"

Barry shook his head. "Jessica."
