IN A HURRY

One of Paul’s story or character songs? I’ve never heard him comment on the inspiration. To me, it has a feel of London 1963, London Theatreland and life with The Ashers of Wimpole Street.

It begins with a description of the hectic life of the song’s subject:

“She was always in a hurry, never took the time to look around. She was always one to worry and fret, staring at the ground..Every minute, she'd be rushing, someone always breathing down her neck. Felt like everyone was pushing her down, keeping her in check”

Sound familiar? In The Lyrics, discussing his impressions when he moved in with the Ashers, he says:

“There was not a second that wasn’t accounted for. Jane would go off to her agent, then read for a play, then meet someone for lunch, then have a vocal coach teaching her a Norwich accent for her next thing.”

The third verse gives us:

How could she leave? She's gotta stay, somebody has to sit and wait. Deep in a dream, she hears a voice "It's not too late to celebrate"

Given the frequency with which the chorus and outro feature the phrase “Never Too Late” (41 times, not that I’m counting), you might have expected that to be the song’s title, rather than ‘In A Hurry’. Perhaps that would have drawn a bit too much attention to a particular incident. In December 1963 (16 December according to Dafydd Rees in his book ‘The Beatles 1963: A Year In The Life), Paul and Jane’s relationship became public knowledge when they were photographed together attending Sumner Arthur Long’s play ‘Never Too Late’ at the Prince of Wales Theatre, London.

“We had decided not to go to the bar, so we were just going to sit it out..I really was not used to the personal burdens imposed by fame, so we were just talking in our seats, and suddenly ten paparazzi came scampering in with those cameras going flash, flash, flash like La Dolca Vita, and then, just as quickly, they all just scampered out again”

“They were like the Keystone Cops. But oh my God, we were shocked.”

‘In A Hurry, was released as a single along with ‘Home Tonight’, and featured artwork based on the parlour game ‘Exquisite Corpse’.

‘Exquisite Corpse’ can be played as a drawing game, as in the cover art, or as a word game. I wonder if it was one of the ones played at the dining table at 57 Wimpole Street that Paul recalled to Barry Miles in ‘Many Years From Now’.

Task Force 141 Age Guesstimates (WITH sources)

TL;DR

Price is the oldest at around 38

Ghost is a close second at around 36

Soap and Gaz are roughly 25-27

↓ All information on how the fuck I got to those numbers below ↓

Ignore the fact that the bio's in-game are absolute trash. For some reason, I cannot access anything past the random cut-offs.

Oh, the info after the in-game screenshot but before the verdict is legit random other info that I found. More specifically actor's age and previous game info if it isn't clear with the current info we have. That you can choose to make your own decisions if you want to ignore my verdicts!

Price: Easy start. His page says 1985.

But his current in-game bio says the exact same info as this Activision link that's from 2019. So I'm assuming they just haven't updated it from 2019, since it would cut 3 years off his age.

Barry Sloane is 41 (1981) No previous canonical birthyear and I didn't go actively searching for much more information

Verdict: Pretty solid 1985 for the dilf.

Gaz: We already have conflicting information; on his page, it says he was born in 1990, yet the timeline says he was born in 1996, neither of which has a proper source. So he would be turning anywhere from 27-33 this year. He joined in 2008 (according to his page and in-game bio shown), needing to be at least 16, so technically the youngest possible is 1992.

But, the same source from Activision that I used for Price says he joined in 2014, if he enlisted at 16, would make him a 1998 baby. Which directly opposes his current bio, which, as said previously, states that he joined in 2008.

I am settling on Activision's ORIGINAL bio being canon, as his in-game bio says he joined in 2008 and at the end of the paragraph says "rounding out a decade in service" which would only bring him to 2018, which would be 4 years prior to the Release of MW2 2022. Whereas 2014 would be near his decade in service next year. It makes more sense to round 1 year under vs 4 years+ over.

Elliot Knight is 32 (1990; probably the cause of his birthyear is listed as 1990) No previous canonical birthyear and I didn't go actively searching for much more information.

Considering Price is only turning 38, I personally prefer scrapping the 1990-1992 date for optimal father-son dynamic.

Verdict: 1996-1998, he'll be turning 25-27 this year.

Soap: This boy's gonna be a doozie.

According to his official page, he was born in 1996 or earlier. It also said that he tried joining the SAS at 16, but was caught that he was too young; which directly contradicts his current in-game bio, which says that he lied about his age and got in.

Considering the information on his page doesn't have any source linking back to it, we will consider he joined the SAS at 16 (which is wild and would have to make him forge a birth certificate) So if we take 2014 (keep in mind I have no clue where they whipped that year out of) minus 16, makes his birth year potentially 1998.

Neil Ellice is clearly ageless as his age isn't listed anywhere online. Previous canonical information hints that he is younger than Gaz, as Gaz had already completed Selection when he joined. According to the old MW timeline, he was born in 1980 (no sources listed) making him 31-36 during the original MW.

Considering the position and name change (all new information is Johnny, not John) I'm just going to discard that information though.

Also, he canonically punched a cop. not important, but I feel like people should know.

Verdict: Legit the only information (even if it's contradicted) we get is <1996 or 1998, so I've gotta go with that. Turning 25-27+ this year. Roughly the same age as Gaz.

more info on why I picked the younger range is in Ghost's info.

Ghost: I struggled with Soap, now onto the one with ~redacted~ information

His current in-game bio cuts off before any actual dates or anything is said. Literally "Ghost lives with a redacted past and an..."

The wiki bio is equally as uneventful, giving us no information about him joining the military or his childhood. At least it wasn't full of information from before the reboot.

Al Mazrah is his first mention in the Reboot timeline, he's not even listed in the section pertaining to Ghobrani's assassination.

So I'm going to be pulling information out of the army straight up. FBI agent watching this, I fucking hate the military IRL <3 If I get one email or text asking to join I'm gonna waste your time asking 2000 questions.

The average age of the UK military is 30 a paid account is required to see the graph, but the information is listed just under it, meaning an officer would probably be above the average.

According to the UK Army, after joining it takes about 20 years to reach Lieutenant. If he joined at 16, he would be ~36y/o, add 2-3 years to go from Lieutenant to Captain, and you've got Price's age.

(~12 years of Service for Sergeants, which makes Soap & Gaz's mid-20s work, especially with them being really fucking good. ~23 years to become a Captain, which again roughly fits with Price being a young Officer)

Samuel Roukin is 42 (1980) this man looks too good for his age omg. The only canonical age-related thing is that he joined the military after 9/11. If we assume he was 16 at joining, it would make him born in 1985. Which fits with the mid-30s right now, but would place him mid-20s in the original timeline.

Verdict: ~1987, making him mid-30s. Younger if you want to make him match the quick rank-ups of the rest of the 141.

"What kind of question is that???"

16. "What kind of question is that???"

((ficlet prompts here - still accepting!!))

--

Magnus was- nervous. Which, in and of itself, was pretty unusual. He couldn't be Magnus "rushes in" Burnsides if he was nervous all the time. That was more of Barry's job. Maybe Davenport, if Magnus was being real honest about it. But nevertheless, here he was; nervous, kind of sweaty, and overthinking.

It was a silly thing to be nervous about. Well, maybe it wasn't, but Magnus sure did feel silly thinking about it. Like, he felt like he should know all of this by now. They had been on this mission, what? Seven years now? He should have been at the top of his game. On high alert, super smart, super tuned in, and all that. And it wasn't his fault if he zoned out during meetings, because he really did try to focus, they just didn't… make sense. At all. Like, Lup or Barry, or Davenport would say all these fancy high-tech words and Magnus would nod along like he got it, but, uh. He did not, in fact, get it. At all.

But asking Davenport felt embarrassing. And asking Barry maybe felt even more embarrassing, considering Barry always wrapped up his part with "any questions?" and Magnus literally never said anything. Lucretia would be his next best bet, but she was currently recovering from an Infernal Spectre-related injury (turns out ghosts can hit hard) and Magnus didn't want to bother her. Merle, he was pretty sure, understood about as much as it as Magnus did but was much better at hiding it or playing along or whatever.

Both Taako and Lup would probably make fun of him. But Lup would be nicer about it and Magnus had no other sources to turn to so, again, here he was.

It was late enough in the day that everyone was back aboard the ship. After the aforementioned Infernal Spectre incident, Davenport had set a rule to have everyone back in an hour or so before it got dark, just to be safe. The sun on this plane set around four PM and stayed dark until around seven AM. It was currently around six.

He could hear Lucretia laughing from her room- Merle had said something about a "cheer-up party" and dragged Davenport into it. Last he saw them, Merle was painting a clown face onto Davenport and Magnus hadn't stuck around to see how that played out. Barry was either in the lab or in the quarters Magnus and he shared, doing some technical bullshit or notes or whatever. They had gotten the Light this cycle and Magnus had gotten back into the grove of not waking up every time Barry left or entered their room for something. Lup and Taako resided in the kitchen, which Magnus was currently standing in front of.

It smelled really good, at least. Which gave Magnus no clue on how receptive Lup might be feeling right now, because it always smelled good. But he had learned to expect the worse anytime madeleines entered the scene, so he was hoping there weren't any of those.

Confidence. He needed confidence. It was like approaching a black bear, except the black bear was an elf, and the elf remembered that time in cycle four when you ate the skin of a banana because no one had ever told you that you weren't supposed to. Confidence. He could do this. Just gotta… admit he didn't understand a thing that had been happening for seven years.

He couldn't do this.

He turned to leave, but the door to the kitchen opened anyway. And there was Taako, apron on, eyebrows raised.

"You gonna come in, homie, or you just gonna stand there?" he asked.

Elf ears. Right. Fuck. Now he felt awkward about it.

"I was, uhm, I was gonna ask Lup about a. Thing."

"A thing," Taako repeated.

"Yeah," Magnus said. Normal, he was normal. He was so regular. "Just like, a science question."

"A science question," Taako said.

"Yep," Magnus said. "So if I could just, uh, talk to Lup-"

"What's the question?" Taako said, leaning against the doorframe. Magnus tried to peer past him into the kitchen, but Taako's wizard hat was too big to see around. Taako was looking at him expectantly.

"I mean, if I could ask Lup-"

"She's busy," Taako said. And then, again, "what's the question?"

"I was just, uhm- I just-" Words. Words, words, words. It was normal to admit you didn't know something. It made you strong. That's what his stepmom had always said, anyway. He knew Taako. It was fine. He was fine. "Y'know the meeting we had yesterday where we were talking about, how the Light worked and, uhm, why the Hunger wanted to eat it or whatever?"

"Mh-hm," Taako said.

"Well, uhhh, I… didn't… understand that," Magnus said. Gods, he hated this. "At all. I mean, I got that the Hunger wants to have it, but not really why? Like, there were a lot of percentages and shit and I figured- I mean, I was gonna ask Barry, but he was busy, and then I was gonna ask Luce, but, y'know-"

"Spectre," Taako said knowingly, nodding his head.

"Yeah," Magnus said. "So I figured maybe Lup, or- I mean, you! Maybe! But I didn't wanna bother you or anything and, uh, I thought maybe-" Magnus faltered, stumbling to a finish. Taako had held his hand up to make him stop talking.

"So, if I'm understanding you correctly, you're question is: 'what the fuck is happening with the Light?'" Taako said.

"Uhm," Magnus said. "I mean, that- like I know it sounds stupid, but yeah."

"Nah," Taako said. "I get it. Come in."

He stepped aside, letting Magnus come in.

"Lup… isn't in here," Magnus said.

"Nah," Taako said again. "She's doing some nerd shit with Barry in the lab. Sit up there and lemme grab my notepad so I can, uh- so I can draw it out for you. That helps me sometimes."

Magnus sat at the kitchen counter, feeling weirdly cared for. By Taako, of all people. Not saying that Taako was mean- well, yeah, he was sometimes, but so was Lup, so Magnus didn't really know what to expect anymore. But he certainly didn't think he'd end up here.

"Chocolate eclair?" Taako said, passing one to him on a plate. More were on the counters. He seemed like he was halfway through pipping the frosting into them. Magnus didn't know what a chocolate eclair meant, emotion-wise, but it was probably okay since Taako was now rummaging through a drawer for a notepad.

Magnus took a bite as Taako returned, clicking a pen open.

"D'you not get any of it, or just certain parts?" Taako asked. "'Cus I'm not the science one here but I know my fair share of sciencey shit. You don't get a Ph.D. in physics for nothing, right?"

"You got a Ph.D. in physics??" Magnus said through a mouth full of eclair.

"Uh, duh," Taako said. "What the hell kinda question is that? You think magic is all first-grade math, Magnus? Like, cha'boy worked hard for this shit, I'm not gonna let anyone forget it 'cus the Hunger ate the university or whatever." A pause. "Though, considering you're the guy who ate an entire fucking banana peel, I'm not too sure on how you think whatsoever."

Was an eclair worth this, or should he just go get Lup? Magnus took another bite, considering.

….yeah, okay, it was worth it.

>:3 nayq for all because i mean we know who is the better driver it's obviously [i am removed from your ask box]

nayq for all! okay!! let's go!!

6. Who would beg the other not to leave? Who has to leave to protect the other?

canonically they both fuck up bad enough to inspire the other person to leave, but i think mark's the only one who begs seb to stay during the Great Almost-Break-Up of 2013, so i'll go with that! as for who has to leave to protect the other--it's gotta be seb, who's an Actual Double Agent. but seb would (and does) put up a fight to stay with mark, because that's imperfect love babeyy

16. Can they stay up all night just talking?

when their relationship is good, yes!! mark loves the sound of seb's voice, especially when they're cuddling and they don't have to raise their voices over a murmur. they'll pick up any thread of convo. usually it starts with mark asking seb something, and seb going on a spiel he has locked and loaded, and mark prompting him onwards. more often than not, it turns into a lighthearted debate about trivial things. but sometimes, when mark is feeling up to it (esp after they fix their marriage), they'll talk about life philosophies and deeper things and even the future. but ever since [REDACTED BECAUSE PREQUEL SPOILERS BUT YOU KNOW] they've been super careful about jinxing their chances for things.

20. Choose one song that perfectly describes their relationship.

... ONE? oughh i wanna say accidentally in love by counting crows SO bad. but like canonically i think it's more like. easy love by lauv. but their first dance is a thousand years by christina perri for a reason. BUT one of the main inspirations for this entire fucking thing is barry manilow's cover of can't take my eyes off you. anyway. where was i. oh yes. one song? i can't help falling in love with you, elvis presley. cas voice i just. i like songs about love. is that a good enough answer, dean?

48. Who's the better driver?

yeah yeah the better driver. we all know the one. yeah uh. uhm. no i'm kidding it's seb. 4x nascar champion :)

58. Who’s more likely to hold a grudge after an argument?

oh, seb for sure. but when it comes to mark, he also forgives the grudges easily--literally lost count of the number of times mark fucks up and seb is like that moomin knife meme, taking it out and then putting it away. in all seriousness, though: in french, you have the verbs connaître and savoir, right. they both mean "to know"--but they're different kinds of knowing. savoir is easy; it's the kind of absolute knowing that comes with facts. connaître, meanwhile, is more associated with familiarity, as in familiarity with people and places. in english, when you say you know someone, you mean it in this familiar way, but there's no distinguishing between the kinds of knowing. seb knows mark, and he knows mark loves him. the extent of this knowledge changes over the course of the series! but he almost knows it all in more of the savoir sense; as an absolute, as an inherent part of the world, because in their world, it literally is. so it's easy to hold and drop grudges like stones. at the end of the day, they want to be together, even with all their issues!! in mark's words: everything else is white noise.

ask me about martian / nobody asks you questions!

character ask game 2, 3, 4, 5, 15, 16, 23, 24, 25 (sorry there's so many lol) for Mr. Eddie Thawne <3333

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

He and Iris are sweet together! And he is, in general, very sweet—befriending Barry even tho he suspects that Barry and Iris are in love (and keeps being proven right)?? How could I not admire him for that omg

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

I didn’t like him keeping Barry’s identity a secret from Iris, but…I mostly blame the writers for that one tbh. The sexism strikes again 😒

EDIT: I completely forgot s9 existed, apparently 🤦‍♀️ THAT is definitely the worst thing they did to him, hands down. They ruined his character…and for WHAT, the arc wasn’t even good!!

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

Eddie gives me Disney Prince/knight in shining armor vibes. A fairytale epic would be perfect for him 🥰

(Or a pirate setting, like this wonderful Westhallen fic 👀)

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

As strange as it might sound, “Cave In” by Owl City. I think Eddie, for all his optimism, does struggle with self-worth—we know he had a hard time making friends as a kid, especially given his dad’s job, and given that he was originally from Keystone…this is more speculation, but I doubt he and his dad were particularly close either (especially if his dad is the sort of person Eowells would like).

And in “Cave In”, there are multiple instances of the narrator/singer struggling with inner turmoil, depressive thoughts (“please take a long hard look through your textbook, ‘cause I’m history”…which also ties in tragically to Eddie’s ultimate fate of dying heroically at the end of s1) and yet trying to be optimistic despite it (“if the bombs go off, the sun will still be shining, because I’ve heard it said that every mushroom cloud has a silver lining”). It’s very Eddie-like imo 💞

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

Westhallen wins for me, hands down. Eddie is great with both of them individually too, but like…all three of them = the superior ship

16. What's your least favorite ship for this character?

Admittedly I don’t really read a ton of Eddie fics, so idk many ships for him 😅 I guess Eddie x Caitlin? Not a bad pairing per se, and I’m the last person to complain about shipping characters who have never properly met onscreen (Reyrose (I haven’t read the comics where they interact) and Franmaya are two of my favorite ships, after all)…I just don’t get that vibe from Eddie and Caitlin. But also, I think that ship only has a few fics anyway, so 🤷‍♀️

23. Favorite picture of this character?

I don’t really have one tbh but he looks so lovely he smiles, so I present you with:

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

Jim Paxton from the MCU! Scott Lang’s wife, Maggie, remarried when she and Scott divorced, and Jim is just an absolute gem. A great husband to Maggie, a great friend to Scott, and a great stepdad to Cassie. They���re such a wonderful family, all four of them, and I love them so much 🥰

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

I gotta be honest man, I was suspicious of him. Idk if I thought he was the RF, but I definitely thought he was gonna turn out to be a bad boyfriend because of how that trope usually goes, and that would be the impetus for Westallen getting together. Imagine my shock when that didn’t happen!! When, in fact, he befriended Barry, Westhawne was going strong for a while, and died a hero!!

(I would’ve preferred that he not die, ofc, but on the other hand…I don’t trust the Flash writers that much. They would’ve ruined him for drama, I can just feel it)

character ask game!

Ted Poley granted me a photo pass but no one from his management gave a fuck and didn't tell the venue so I didn't get a pass :( he's such a sweet guy tho

so this guy I was hanging out with at the Sonic Slam show last summer turned out to be my one insta friend's COUSIN LOL so the two of them plus his mom got me up at the barrier LMAOO it pays off to make friends in line

I was extremely disappointed in the merch. there were literally 3 (three) shirts to choose from. That was it. Plus you could buy a CD if u wanted. They also weren't taking card. Fuck that. I bought a double vodka cranberry instead.

due to personal reasons I think I gotta stan Danger Danger now

literally I never heard a single song by them until a week ago but Ted is just so nice and fun and he put on a hell of a 30 minute show

he also threw balloons into the crowd that we had to blow up ourselves it was hilarious

there was also this little kid next to me the entire time and Ted threw him a balloon but he didn't catch it so he knelt down in front of this kid and threw like ALL the balloons at him it was so sweet ;-;

just wanna say for the record that I was there for like at least 8 core memory moments for that child last night and that balloon story was one of them

for Don't Walk Away, Ted came into the crowd bc he said 'it looks like you're having so much fun out there, I'm gonna join you!' and i couldn't find him like the entire time eoirngwoergnwerg

he also spit like a ton of times over his head and idk what it is about concert but it always makes me want men to spit on me

honestly Ted's set was the height of the show

Lynch Mob was really good and their singer... 👁👄👁

he's got crazy eyes, he's got long curly dark brown hair, and he's a petite little bitch

he also looks like Derek Day from Classless Act and Rami Malek's lovechild

his pants were TOOOOOOO LOWW 👁👄👁👁👄👁👁👄👁 i could see pubes 👁👄👁

watching George Lynch play is an otherworldly experience

at the end of their set, their drummer threw his drumsticks into the crowd and the little boy next to me caught one and everyone around him EXPLODED with joy (another core memory moment)

at one point their bassist threw his pick and I ended up getting it off the floor and giving it to this boy too

his mom thanked me secretly rogwrgtpmrtg

idk why everyone says Don Dokken can still sing I'm sorry but he can't he's worse than Vince Neil like he was literally monotone the entire time I was disappointed

despite that we were still bangin and goin nuts

Don did smile at me 3 times tho and wave at me ;-;

his stories were funny too trpptprptg like he said in Germany they eat french fries with mayo and that's the only thing he knew out to say in german in the early 80s and it's all he would eat bc of that

also he kept gushing about the crowd and the venue and how much he loves Penn's Peak and the crowd is always wild and how the venue is in the middle of nowhere (which is very correct)

there was also a red flag where Don introduced Dream Warriors with how big Patricia Arquette's boobs were when she was 16  🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩

also based on everything I've heard from Ted, Dokken and their team don't sound like very nice people erogneorgtgpptt

I wanted to meet Ted afterwards but I didn't wanna push it ;-; he emailed me today offering me a pass at his show in NJ on Friday but I declined bc 1- I would have to leave straight from work 2- I would have to drive through Philadelphia 3- how is he sure they'll actually listen to him this time and 4- it's over 100 miles away so I'd have to invest in so much gas :( sorry Ted i want to but it's it's just not gonna be worth it

[barry-j-blupjeans]

16 and blupjeans??

16. finding out the other has plans to propose and vibrating waiting for it to happen but they get faked out so many times they just propose instead

((trope w/ a twist writing prompts - still accepting!!))

--

You know, when Taako said "Lup's planning to propose to you, so heads up", Barry was expecting something to happen within the next like, week. Specifically, he was expecting something to happen on Saturday because they both were off work, and Lup suggested going to a fancy restaurant, and that was the perfect setup for it, but. Nope, nothing.

Another week passed. Barry had to ask Taako if he had been joking. Taako said "no" and then went on a ten-minute rant about "slow burn", to which Barry had mainly zoned out for.

And another week passed.

"Taako," Barry said on the third Saturday, holding Taako by the shoulders. It was early in the morning, because they once again had the weekend off, and Lup was insistent about going to the beach. "I need you to steal the ring for me."

Taako had slipped it to Barry as they were packing all their things into the car for the weekend away. And suddenly, Barry was faced with the realization that oh god, this was so much more pressure than he had thought. His main skill for overcoming anxiety was just "do it now so you don't worry about it later", but gods, this was so much harder than anything he had applied that to before. Lup could say no. Or she could be upset that he had stolen the ring. Or she-

"Gas station," Lup announced, tearing Barry from his thoughts. Sure enough, there was a lone gas station on this very empty road. "You still want a granola bar?"

"Yeah," Barry said because he needed something to distract himself from his thoughts. The gas station was mainly deserted, besides a few other cars getting gas and one person who had parked in front of the store. Lup slid the car to a stop. The weight of the ring was heavy in Barry's pocket.

"Actually-" Barry said when Lup went to unbuckle. "Uhm, well, not to put off granola time-"

"It's a sin," Lup agreed.

"But," Barry said, trying not to fidget too much. He tried to fish the ring box out of his pocket but his hand got stuck because of the seatbelt. "Hang on, wait." He unbuckled but got stuck when it retracted back, catching his arm in an awkward position. "Just- just hang on-"

"Babe," Lup laughed, leaning over to untwist the seatbelt from his arm. "We can't keep doing this."

"It's difficult," Barry said needlessly, which just made Lup grin at him really wide. Finally free, she leaned back over to her seat and unbuckled with ease.

"You were saying?" she asked, turning off the car. Barry was pretty sure he was sweating and the lack of AC was now definitely not helping.

"Well, uh," Barry said, not very discreetly wiping his brow. "A few weeks ago- three, three weeks ago, Taako came to me and he was like, "hey-""

"You really need to work on your Taako impression," Lup said.

"I know," Barry said because it was pretty bad. "That's not the point. He was like "hey, I'm not supposed to tell you this, but you've got like, hella anxiety and I'm bad at secrets-""

"Both true."

""So I gotta tell you that Lup is gonna propose-""

"Aw, shit," Lup said, wincing. "I- I mean, I was- I am! I am gonna, I just- I didn't wanna like, unload it on you at a bad time and, y'know, I- well, I was gonna try on the beach, 'cus that's supposed to be romantic and shit, but-"

"Lup," Barry interrupted. He fished the ring out of his pocket. "I'm gonna do it now, so we don't have to worry about it later. You wanna get married?" The ring box opened with a little snap and Barry struggled for a second not to drop it.

"Holy shit," Lup said.

"Taako stole the ring from you before we left," Barry admitted a little nervously.

"Holy shit," Lup repeated.

"Is- is that a yes, or like, a maybe?"

"Yes! Of course!" Lup said frantically, taking the ring box from his hand and setting it aside. She leaned over the middle again to pull him into a very awkward hug position. Still, Barry couldn't stop grinning. "I can't believe you fucking proposed to me in the parking lot of a Shell gas station, babe, I love you so much-"

"I didn't wanna worry about it the whole time!" Barry said again, but Lup just pulled him into a kiss, laughing against his lips.

"No, I love it," she said. "I love you. We need granola bars to celebrate."

"I love you too," Barry said, still really in the mood for some granola.

Cisco x reader

Y/n pov

I just got back from the food market with food for Barry, Cisco, Joe and I. Heading down to S.T.A.R.S labs, I couldn't get HIM out of my head. Cisco Ramon. Yep, we have been best friends ever since we met, and only Barry and Iris knew that I had.....have feelings for him.

*Time skip brought to you by the fact that I only watched Supergirl and some cross overs*

"Ugh, I'm starving man," I heard Cisco say as I entered the Cortex. I giggled to myself as I heard that

"Boys', I'm home,"I sang out like a mother would do. I used my super-speed to put the bag on the counter and sit in a seat in between Barry and Joe. Then I used my telepathic abilities to get everyone's food out of the bag and placed it in front of them. 

As I was eating I felt my leg get hit. When I looked up I saw Barry giving me the 'read my mind' look. I rolled my eyes in return, yet still read his mind.

Have you told him? Barry asked

No, and I won't. What happens if a villain finds out? They would use one of us against each other. On top of that, he might not feel the same about me. I replied using my telepathy

Barry just rolled his eyes in response and continued eating.

Cisco's pov (from the beginning)

Y/n went out to get Joe, Barry, me, and herself some food from the food market. I was VERY bored, when I looked at Barry. He was giving me a weird look.

"Are you okay, Barry," I asked with a face of confusion. And all he did was smirk. I started to get scared as he didn't say anything.

"Yep, I'm totally fine. So.... when are you going to tell her?" Barry asked and I became overly confused.

"What are you talking about?"

"Y/n"

"She probably won't feel the same. We have been friends ever since we met." All that did was earn me a heavy sigh from my friend sitting across of me.

(Time skip brought to you by me trying to fit this story in one part)

"Ugh, I'm starving man," I complained to Joe and Barry. All I got was two disappointed head shakes.

"Boys', I'm home," I heard the angelic voice of the woman I fell in love with singing out like a mother would. Wow, she would make a great mother. WHAT AM I THINKING? She could have been reading my mind! At least I'm safe for now.

I saw her speed over and put the bag on the counter and sat in between Joe and Barry and across from me. We have told her to practice using her powers due to a problem with a meta-human, so she used her telepathic abilities to hand out everyone's food.

As I looked over at Barry, I saw him give Y/n the 'read my mind look'. She seemed hesitant at first, but I could tell that she and Barry were in a conversation. I gotta talk to Barry about that. I thought.

(Time skip brought to you by the 16 year old girl sitting on a toilet seat after a shower)

Y/n's pov

An hour after lunch, the meta-human alarm went off. Joe already went to the station, so it was just you, Barry, and Cisco.

"You guys take care of the meta-human. I will stay here and help behind the monitors." I said knowing they won't let me go out there just yet.

They both nodded knowing not to argue with me and it was for the best.

(Time skip brought to you by the lazy being that is STILL in the restroom)

After Flash and Vibe fought the meta-human that warped reality, Barry speedied the meta-human into the cell and brought a very wounded Cisco back to the lab. I already called for help. And I was panicking about the state Cisco was in. It was so horrible to look at.

(Time skip to 3 days later)

It has been 3 days, and I haven't left my friends side. I held his hand and was dozing off when I felt Cisco stir in is sleep. A new found hope bubbled up in my chest.

"Cisco" I was all able to breath out.

"Y/n?" He groaned.

"I'm right here. You're okay." I started to cry. As he looked at me, he took his hand and cupped my face. I gave him a reassuring smile.

"Why do you cry?" He asked while gently whipping my tears with his thumb.

"I wouldn't know what to do if I lost you. You are my best friend. And I was so worried. I wanted to tell you that I thought of you more than a friend. That I love you-" I broke down sobbing, not knowing that I just told my BEST FRIEND that I love him more than a friend.

All Cisco did was hold me in his arms waiting til it was all over. Once I calmed down and remembered what I had just said, I went all stiff. Then he said something that I didn't expect from him at all.....

"I love you more than a friend too....."
