thought i just had a really interesting idea where maybe El’s power isn’t being able to open gates to the UD but maybe she’s the one that’s actually splitting off all of these alternate timelines and stuff and the gates/cracks are just the manifestation of these alternate universes/timelines that you could potentially jump between and just like it’s ALL because of El, but then i remembered that uuuhh Henry exists. and like. he. did some shit in the Creel house when “he” killed his family. and i went hm. oh yeah. hm. hm. me? idiot, mayhaps?

Angel - Barry Allen imagine

Barry Allen x female reader

Word Count: 1967

Fluff for this Valentine day Tuesday

Summary: (Y/N) has received a love letter. The problem, she doesn’t know who sent it. The other problem, she is already in love with someone else

 Within seconds you stole my attention Skin so perfect, a golden complexion More than beautiful girl, you’re a work of art Oh, my, I cannot believe my eyes Oh, my, pinch me, am I dreamin’, am I? Oh, my, did you fall from the skies?

I can’t see your wings, but girl, you’re an angel Oh, my, my angel You’re so out of this world, you’re hiding your halo Oh, oh, my angel Oh, my, my angel Won’t you be mine? My angel I can’t see your wings, but girl, you’re an angel Oh, my angel

Your heart melted once more when you read those words for what seemed the millionth time today. “You are reading that thing again?” Caitlin asked “Yeah” you sighed dreamfully “I can’t help it. Every time I use the phone I have, no, need to read it” “It’s a shame you don’t know who sent it” she commented while sipping her coffee. “I’m kind of bumped about it too. I mean, they could have written an initial or,  I don’t know, something at least!” You said exasperated. Since the letter arrived on Valentines day, attached to a bouquet of flowers with no remitent, you had been thinking of who the person might be. However, no one seemed to fit in the description. And to be honest, you were a little bit scared to reveal the identity, since your heart already belonged to another person.

Barry Allen, his name already causing a tickling feeling in your stomach. And speaking of the devil… “Hey Bar, how is it going?” You greeted him when you saw his exhausted face “Julian. I swear-” he sighed exasperated “I better get you a coffee” Caitlin offered since she was about to leave. “Thank you” replied Barry with his face still buried in his hands. “Why don’t you ignore him? You have tried to be friends with him If he doesn’t want to, why waste time?” You reasoned “I’ve tried! But his always on my ass. ‘Mr. Allen have you done this, have you done that. Your break its at one o'clock, not at 12:59” he mocked him Caitlin handed him his coffee ���Don’t think about it. Relax for a little, (Y/N) can stay with you, right?” She suggested. It’d have been kind of awkward if you had been left alone with your crush. But he wasn’t only your crush, he was one of your best friends too (which made the whole ‘crush’ thing more complicated) After Caitlin left, you had a few minutes of silence before Allen broke it “What about you, something exciting in your life lately?” You could have told him about the letter, though it didn’t seem right, so you just used the plain answer of ‘Nop’. “Really? Because I’ve been catching you on your phone more frequently than usual. New fanfic?” He asked Your checks turned red and you hit his shoulder playfully “Okay, okay I just wanted to know what’s been up with you lately, angel” he smiled with his hands up in surrender. “There’s nothing wrong” you lied “just living la vida” “I bet you are” he muttered before taking another sip of his cup “Hey look what time is it” you said looking at your phone “I need to get back to the office. And you sir” you enphazised the last part “you need to get back before Julian kicks your ass for being late, again” “Yeah, yeah” Together you made your way to the door, and after saying your farewells, you took your respective paths. While you walked down the familiar streets, you couldn’t help but feel that something was different. Not with the place, but something had happened. Something you cannot quite put your finger on. This thoughts still roamed in your mind while you worked. What is it, what is it. You had gone through every detail of your day, but still couldn’t find anything of importance. You had woken up, coffee, went to work… the usual… you had had lunch with Cait, then Barry. He just took a coffee, maybe that was what was bothering you. I mean, he needs to take like 100000 calories a day, a coffee for lunch seems poor. And then you’ve just gone back to work. Uhm… maybe it was something Cait said… You didn’t recall any exciting news… maybe the talk with Barry… nah, nothing new… wait… Oh my god! ‘Okay, okay I just wanted to know what’s been up with you lately, angel’ Could you be making this up? I mean, no one calls you ‘angel’ but… “The letter” you finished your thoughts “Oh my Chuck! Barry wrote the letter!” You said outloud, which made a few heads turn to your direction. You were freaking out. Had your crush really send you the most heartfilled letter you have ever read? Does Barry have a crush on you too?! Your brain was making plots, tryung to explain everything. Your face was flushed, your breath fast, and if you hadn’t been siting on a chair, you would have probably fall, since your legs were weak and shaking as fast as your hands. 'I need to see him, or else I’m going to burst’ with your mind racing, you made your way to your boss office, to say that an urgency had come up, and that you needed to leave. But not to worry, you’d do the hours you are gone, tomorrow. After she seemed satisfied, you left in a rush. Your legs were walking fast as you traced on your mind the shortest route to the CCPD. You were out of breath when you reached your destination. “Miss, can I help you?” The lady on the desk asked You were kind of lost, not knowing who had talked to you untill your eyes settled on the woman on the counter. “Yeah, yeah” you came closer, your hands tight on the strap of your bag “I’m looking for Barry Allen, forensic scientist” “And you are…?” Of course, you face palmed internally, who would call a scientist, at the police station, on work hours. Unless you were a police officer or something, it was stupid. “I-I’m a… friend” “Well, I’m sorry, but you can catch up with him after his shift is done” the woman replied You lost your words. Now that your mind wasn’t in a rush, reality crushed your plans. And the worst, the question of  'What if this is a mistake?’, made your heart break in a million pieces. “(Y/N)! what are you doing here?” You looked to the owner of the hand that was on your shoulder “Joe! I mean, Detective!” “Don’t worry Karen, she’s with me” he reasurred the lady. He gesture you to follow him, which you did, to a place where you could talk “So, what are you doing here kid?” “I was looking for Barry” you replied a little nervous “its kind of important” “It must be to make you come all the way down here” he smiled “come on, his lab is upstairs. If anyone asks, you are with me” “Thank you Joe” you breathed before turning away. Suddenly, your feet stopped and you went back to him “Joe, can I ask you something?” with a nod of his head you understood he was listening “do you know if…” come on, now you have yo say it “Barry…is fond of me, in some kind of…way?” You cringed at your own words Detective West looked at you “Well, you too are best friends” come on you know what I mean… “but I guess that if you are looking for a different answer, you might as well ask him yourself” his eyes were focused on something behind you. Turning around, you spotted the handsome young man himself carrying a folder “Hey (Y/N), they told me you were looking for me” You didn’t know what to do. This is really happening now… …. Nop, okay maybe another time, bye! “Yeah, but now that I think about it… You know what, it’s nothing, forget it. I better go” Oh come on! Don’t be a chicken! Woman up! Taking a deep breath, you spined and made your way to a confused Barry “No. Actually, I wanted to talk to you” your bipolarity kind of scared Barry, who gave the papers to the Capitan before leading you to the stairs to the street. “So…” he was in front of you, his back resting on the wall in a casual way. “Well I… I know you did it” it will be better if you are as clear as possible. “Did what?” He asked, and you knew he wasn’t taking this seriously until you answered “The letter. You wrote it” His whole expression change. His laid figure, stiffen. His soft eyes, wide in fear, and he shuttered “I don’t know- the what?” His acting skills are not that good for someone who has to hide their identity  from the world. You smug expression made  his rambling stop, hiding his face in his hands while letting out and exasperated breath, expecting the worst. However you completely understood his situation. “Bar” you pulled his hand away, tugging them so that he would look at you “I don’t know what you are thinking I’m going to do, but I know that if your dont explain me everything… well, you could miss something” He laughed bitterly “What is there to say (Y/N)? I like you. I like you a lot. And I didn’t have the guts to tell you on person. But then I saw how sad you sometimes were about not having someone special. I mean, I tried to let you know how beautiful and amazing you are, but you would say 'It doesnt work like that Bar, it has to be… someone’ ” he mocked you “So I thought, why not be that someone? I could tell you how magnificent you were without having to show my identity. And god, I still don’t regret it. Watching you so happy over such little thing. You smiled more, did you know that?” You were frozen. You had dreamed about this moment for years, but now that it had come, you found yourself not being able to respond. “You don’t need to say anything (Y/N). I understand this might be akward for you-” “Its not that” you cut him off “I-I..Its just that…” you took a deep breath “I like you too. A lot actually” After you confessed, the air seemed more tense and awkward. You didn’t know what to do, you just stared at your shoes with your face flushed. You felt Barry moving, maybe he was going back to work. Luckily, you were wrong. He pressed his body against you, his hands finding their way to your hips. Then he started to push you gently against the wall, though the friction never ceased. When you head bumped lightly against the brick, he touched your forehead with his. You could feel his hot breath, his sculpted body, his soft eyes laying dangerously on your lips. Why hadn’t he done anything was yet a mystery. So you decided you’ll have to take action. With your cold hands, you brought his face closer, to be able to connect his lips with yours. He let out a moan of happiness, which made you giggle and break the kiss, though he was fast to reconnect your lips. “Would you like to go on a date with me?” He asked after a few minutes. You smiled opening you eyes and leaning more on his touch. “I would love to”

“Allen, next time you decide to leave so that you can make out with your girlfriend, remember that you are at work” However, even Julian’s comments couldn’t ruin that day.

Dating advice will never have an absolute answer that is right or wrong. When you are asking for advice here, sometimes you might not get the answer that doesnt fit your situation. This kind of knowledge is mostly only gained through experience, and unless the person has hit on 100000+ girls/guys, the experiences most of the time wont be enough to solve most situations. Read your replies and look for ones that has had been in similar situations. Ask how they handled it and what was the outcome. Adjust the knowledge you were given then come up with a couple plans.Planning is very important. Applies to everything literally. Going head in without a plan is never good, especially if you are a shy person that gets nervous.(I hit on girls regularly, on internet and in real life, anywhere I possibly can. Now I do it just for fun since I have a girlfriend. I do show her all my messages.) Btw I am short 5'6, Asian, below average bod. Face is decent. I am however, somehow quite confident, and people think I am fun to be around.My personal tips for generic use :Learn to imagine all possible scenarios from the best to the worst, and be ready to react to each of them. Don't let them catch you by surprise. Imagine all scenarios that have a chance of happening and think how you can react to it. Think of it as preparing some "just in case lyrics" for a freestyle rap battle. Good way to do this is just imagine conversations as you showering, act like you actually are talking to the person. (No one will ever see if you lock the door.) Also helps with your confidence if you practiced.Research the person. I can't stress this more. There is nothing creepy about doing this. We live in the age of the internet, and people are willingly posting their crap all over the internet, so check it out. You might find out she/he likes the same band or anime or movies. You can bring them up naturally. Then you can ask questions like : "Do you watch anime?" without fearing that she doesn't and is gonna judge you. Win win. Learn to use the things you find, and NEVER go overboard. Dont say :"I saw your photos the other day..." if you aren't even friends on fb yet. She/he doesnt need to know your researched.Think like a human, put yourself in their shoes. Girls/guys are not aliens. Most of the time we react similarly to similar things. A message on the internet to most of us today is almost NEVER a big deal. The biggest loss you can face is no reply. I've talked to girls that came to my high school the year after I already graduated, and everyone of them were nice and kind. (One was more than nice and kind.)If you want to talk to girls on internet, TREAT YOUR INTERNET PROFILE THE WAY YOU'D WANT TO BE SEEN. Don't want to creep people out? Don't post creepy selfies and weird emotional quotes. Keep it clean and fun goes a long way."Be yourself" is an advice you will hear over and over. I'd say, please evaluate yourself before you "be yourself". Don't "be yourself" if it means dressing like a hobo and curse in every sentence. "Become better" is what I'd suggest we all do. Unless if you think you are already super great, then sure be yourself, if not, we can always be better. Work a littler harder, dress a bit nicer, learn some kind gestures, find new hobbies, these things can only benefit you in the long run so why the fuck not do it. If the guy/girl can become your motivation to do so, go for it.Lastly, prepare prepare prepare. Did I mention this earlier?Especially if you are shy not naturally out going, prepare. Going to a french restaurant? Learn the dish names, come on, you'd look cool as fuck anyways. Prepare things to talk about, prepare places to go, prepare escape plan, prepare condoms, prepare pepper spray, prepare prepare prepare.Prepare some fun questions to ask if convo is running dry (google it up theres a shit ton), prepare some slightly sexual questions if things are going well. Remember, if YOU make it fun, the other person could only be having a piece of your fun as well.Bonus tip : 1. Imaginary situations are great to bring up. "Imagine if you won $100000 what would you do?" You learn about the person as well from their answers. Google them "what if" questions. Some are great.Bets. Make simple tiny bets. Bets are FUN! Need cash but don't have cash, freaking out? Make a bet with her/him see who can find the atm first, loser pays for drinks."I bet you that guy in red is gonna sit down at that bench." If he does, you look super cool yet again, if not you lose a bet, and shed/hed happy anyways. This betting thing never gets old. I personally love it, makes boring dates fun. Point of the bet tho is to be fun, so dont make bets that will upset the opponent.Anyways if you read all this thanks for reading. Just my 2 cents I thought id share. I wish I had other more useful real knowledge, but I chose to spend my high school and college days focusing on girls hahaha.P.S. I am thinking about starting some online dating help thingy, please let me know if my personal suggestions were helpful!Tl;dr : Just some tips. I like to help people get laid. Feels good. via /r/dating_advice
