ACTION.

[ visibly looking put-out, he slouches his shoulders and grumbles lightly. with heavy footsteps, he goes to fetch the flowers she wants and at a painful human pace, he begins his return back to her. yelling, ] This would be so much easier if you had Flash-proof flowers!

[ then realising there was no need to yell, at a much more normal volume: ] I totally thought these flowers would block my voice. [ but he appears, looking at her expectantly. ] Where do you want them Miss West? [ he smiles, ] Just know I'm going to need a tip after. Flowers are heavy.

ACTION.

[ What did those poor, innocent flowers ever do to him???

She beams, opening the cooler door with her back, ignoring the sudden burst of cold, dry air - ]

You'll get double the Thai for this. Promise.

And uh, take the middle shelf. [ She amends, suddenly remembering her Barry's height, ] Or anywhere I don't need a ladder to reach.

ACTION.

[ please note: barry waits until he's placed the flowers on the shelf — tucked securely and neatly away — before he does his little victory punch in the air. ]

[ smiling, ] I can always go for extra Thai. [ brushing his hands together, he looks around, as if searching for something else to fix or take down from a too-high shelf for iris west. ] Or anything you want to eat. Contrary to popular belief, I, Barry Allen, am not that fussed. [ he shrugs his shoulders before taking a step toward a shelf and removing a pot from it. he places it somewhere in the middle, sliding it loudly against the shelf. ]

ACTION.

[ Her paycheck - and half their food fund - thanks him kindly for that consideration. ]

Nuh-uh. I promised extra Thai, and we're gonna get some. [ She takes off her apron and nametag, finally, and turns back towards the door so they can get out of the cold and right back into that Florida heat and humidity. But! She's feeling a little silly, so she holds out her arm - ] As long as I get my Tom Yum soup, of course.

ACTION.

[ there are only a few things in life that get barry's heart racing: the beginning notes of "poker face", the mention of food, and iris west. he loops his arm around hers, sparing the flowers a glance over his shoulder. ] You can have two Tom Yum soups today. It's on the Justice League.

[ though he's uncertain if that's truly a thing, barry allen doesn't care. the justice league owes iris west a big one — without her, the justice league wouldn't have the flash. ]
