My Very Own Barry

Chapter 9

Kara's Apartment

I quietly creeped past the kitchen into the living room. I was nervous. I didn't want to wake him up, and have him freak out. Why am I doing this? I don't need to do it, I know everything is fine, but I can't stop myself. I needed to make sure he was still here.

I walk around the couch and squatted down low, right in front of Barry's sleeping face. I watched as he chest moved up and down slowly with every breath he took. He looked so peaceful and innocent. Just like the other Barry. I can't believe he's actually still here. I reached out and placed my hand on his cheek.

"*Groan*."

Oh crap!

"Kara?"

No! No! This looks so bad! Quick play it off as if it's normal, "Hey Barry. Just came to check if you needed anything."

I noticed him give me a smile, "No. I'm ok."

"Good. Well goodnight." I tried to leave quickly but he wouldn't let me.

"Wait! Wait! Kara!" He grabbed my hand as a way to keep me from walking away, "Is everything alright?"

"Um..." Maybe I should just come clean. Just tell him, he'll understand, "Yeah I am. It's just that I wanted to make sure you were still here."

"Why wouldn't I?"

I took a seat at foot of the couch, "I don't know. It's just that I wanted to make sure you were real Barry. As I laid on my bed I couldn't help but think that maybe you were not real. That maybe you were the Earth 1 Barry and you were going to... I don't know, abandon me?"

Barry sat up right now. He took off his blanket and wrapped it around me, "I'm not him Kara. I won't abandon you."

I couldn't help but let a small tear out, "I know, but Barry Allen was the best guy I ever met. I've wanted nothing more then to have more time with him. When he comes to see me, most of the time it's just to say that he needs my help with a threat. Barry is a great friend, but I've always wanted more of him. I wanted him around more and I wanted to see him everyday... I always imagined that he would be my roommate, that we would have lunch together everyday, fight crime together, go out and do fun things, or stay home at night and just watch TV till we fell asleep."

I notice Barry stare at me. As I looked at his eyes I saw no judgement or disgust, he just gave me a heart warming smile, "Well I'm not leaving you Kara... I want to be that friend you always wanted. I'm going to be there for you everyday, and spend as much time with you as possible with you. I want to have that relationship that you could never get with the other Barry Allen... I want to be everything you ever wanted."

I couldn't help but let out another tear, "You're so sweet Barry."

He reached out and whipped away my tear with his thumb, "I'm going to stay at your side through it all."

I couldn't help but smile at him. I reached around him and wrapped the blanket around both of us, "Do you mind if I sleep here tonight?"

I noticed Barry smile at me, "No. Oh course not."

Laid my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. I noticed him wrap his arm around me, but I didn't mind. It actually made me feel much more comfortable, "Thanks for everything Barry... Goodnight."

"Goodnight Kara. See you tomorrow."

I smiled again, "See you tomorrow." 

Short I know. But what is good now is that Barry and Kara have finished setting up their friendship, and I can now start working on developing it. Get ready for some cute Superflash moments everyone.
