*The Flash*

You were up all night working in the lab. In fact, you didn't even remember coming back home but here you were, on your bed in your house.

You saw clothes hanging on your closet door and a note attached to it. You got off the bed, went to the outfit and read the letter.

'Didn't want to bother you So I picked out an outfit and made you breakfast. There's also a bath tub full of bubbles waiting for you in the bathroom.

~Ralph'

You held the letter close to your chest and started squealing. You went into the bathroom and almost swooned at the sight in front you.

The bath tub was full of bubbles and there were sweet smelling candles around the  bath with a few rose petals on the bubbles and the floor.

You went into the kitchen feeling energised and happy. When you got there you saw a delicious breakfast in front of you and Ralph wearing an apron covered in flour.

"Good morning," he said with a smile.

"Morning," you greeted back. "How'd you sleep?"

"Terrifically," he answered. "But I should be asking you that."

"I think I slept well. I wouldn't know, I don't even remember sleeping or coming back home."

"I found you at the lab and bought you back to your place."

You smiled and blew Ralph a kiss. He caught it playfully and patted his chest.

"Thank you," you said. "Also, who do you think you're fooling, Ralph Dibny? I know you did not cook this breakfast."

Ralph cringed, knowing he'd been caught out in his lie.

"What gave it away?"

"The takeaway boxes from my favourite diner, peeking out of my garbage can," you answered.

"Okay so I didn't make the breakfast," he admitted. "But I did make you this smoothie. It has cranberry, pineapple, raspberry and just a tiny pinch of lemon zest."

"Oh my God, I love you," you said before drinking the smoothie.

Ralph stopped what he was doing and stared at you.

"You what?" he asked.

At first you didn't know what he was talking about then you realized you just told him you loved him. Your eyes widened and you tried to take it back.

"I didn't mean it in that way. I meant like, 'I love you as a friend'," you said." Not that you're just a friend. You're much more than that. Actually I don't know if you are. We never exactly discussed us."

You realized that you just made everything much more awkward so you looked around for an excuse to use. You made a buzzing sound with your mouth and checked your phone.

"Oh, would you look at that. I just got a message from Iris telling me to meet her right away," you lied.

You got up and left the house.

"And then I came here," you concluded.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Iris said. "Can we just rewind to the part where you said, you were hooking up with Ralph?!"

"I think it's cute," Kamilla said. "I totally ship it."

"How long has this been going on?" Iris asked.

"Remember when Ralph went on that missing person case and I went on vacation?" you asked.

Kamilla and Iris nodded.

"Around then," you answered.

"Four months?" she questioned. "You've been together for four months and you didn't even think to tell me?"

"You're focusing on the wrong thing right now. What we should be focusing on is the fact that I told Ralph I love him."

"Well do you love him?" Kamilla asked.

"Of course I do," you answered.

"Then what's the problem?"

"We are not relationship and I don't know if he feels the same way about me."

"How would you know? You ran out on him," Iris told you.

You sighed and face-palmed.

"I'm an idiot aren't I?" you asked.

"Just a little bit," Iris answered.

"I've gotta go back home and talk to Ralph," you said.

"Like, now."

You grabbed your things and headed back to your place. When you got back you went into your living room and saw Ralph watching TV. You switched it off and sat on the coffee table in front of him.

"Hey, I was watching that," he complained.

"I love you," you told him. "I really love you and I want to be your girlfriend."

Ralph smiled.

"Okay," he responded.

"Okay?" you repeated.

"I mean, okay," he said. "I love you too and I'd really like to be your boyfriend."

You smiled and sat on the couch in the spot right next to him.

"Great," you said then switched the TV back on. "So what are we watching?"
