Narration

It's early the next day and right now, Barry's still in his bed, staring up at the ceiling. He likes to have "conversations" with it whenever he has something on his mind.

Barry

I stare at the ceiling. Asking for advise. "I've been keeping my feelings for Cait hidden. I love our friendship, but I don't know if I want it to be more." I whisper out loud to the Ceiling. I stare until I get an idea. "I could tell her tonight at her house!" I exclaim. I smile at the ceiling, thanking it for helping me as I leave my room.

I take a quick shower, put some clothes on, and head downstairs to see Joe in a good mood and Iris cooking. "Good morning guys." I say with a smile.

"Good morning Barry." Iris says back. Joe is still smiling to himself. "What's up with Joe?" I ask Iris.

"Oh him and Cecile are going on a date later today while I watch Jenna here at home. He's excited while planning everything in his head. It's hilarious." Iris turns the stove off and brings the breakfast to the table. "How are you and Caitlin doing?" Iris questions with a smirk.

"Oh uh.. um.. W-what do you mean?" I rub the back of my neck.

"Oh you know what I'm talking about. Ever since Everyman showed up, Caitlin's been acting nervous and weird around you. And you've done the same ever since who knows how long. There's something there between y'all. You my friend *Iris flicks him with her finger on his head* are just to blind to see it. Maybe you should slow down and focus."

I cross my arms, "Yeah I guess. I just didn't know when the right time was. But I do now."

Iris jumped up, "Ooo when I you gonna tell her?!"

"Tonight." I say confidently.

"Yay! My ship is finally gonna sail!" Iris says in victory.

"What ship? What is a ship?" I ask very confused.

"Oh Barry," she pats my shoulder, "I'll tell you all about it later. But if you want to find the source of the shipping, ask Cisco or Felicity." She walks to her seat at the table while laughing. I roll my eyes. I call Joe over to the table so we can start eating, with only 10 mins to spare before me and Joe have to be at work at the CCPD.
