Chapter Text
Barry and Iris have been childhood best friends forever. The moment that Barry and his parents moved into the house right across form Iris’s the two have been joined by the hip. Of course they had other friends. Like Barry was good friends with Cisco Ramon and Caitlin Snow. And Iris was pals with Linda Park and laurel Lance. But Barry and Iris had a special bond and they always knew that no matter how many other friends they have they will always be the best of friends.
But all of that changed at the end of junior year. Both of them confessed their love for one another, at a end of the year party. It also was the day that their relationship transformed from friends to lovers.
The summer was amazing. Barry and Iris were an perfect couple. They already knew so much about each other that is was easy to plan dates and talk.
The two spent the summer hanging out with friends, swimming in the lake, and going on romantic dates with each other.
Iris couldn’t be any happier. She had an amazing dad, lots of friends and most importantly the love of her life. Most people would say she was to young to be in love. But Iris knew that wasn’t true. Everytime she was with Barry she felt like she was on cloud 9. And she knows that Barry feels the same way.
Iris truly wished that summer could last forever. But as all good things come to an end summer break was over and tomorrow is the first day of Senior year. Closing her eyes Iris drifted off to a peaceful sleep. Hoping that tomorrow will be a great day.

Iris woke up with someone stroking her hair. Opening her eyes she found herself face to face with Barry.
Startled by his sudden appearance Iris yelled in surprise. She fell off the bed with a thud.
“Shhhh!” “Are you trying to get me killed?” Barry whispered. He grabbed Iris bridal style and dropped her back on the bed.
“What are you doing here babe? My dad will kill you if he finds out you are up here!”
“I wanted to see that pretty face” Barry said calmly as he pulled Iris closer to him and kissed her forehead
“Okay but did you to come and see me at 3 in the morning?” Iris patted down her hair. Usually before she would see him she would curl it. But right now is was all over the place.
“You look beautiful, so out of my league”.
Iris blushed. He boyfriends was so sweet. “Don’t sell yourself short. Any girl would want to be with you”.
“Even Becky Cooper”? Barry said with a smirk.
Becky Cooper was a nightmare. She was so self absorbed and she kept hitting in Barry even though she knew he wasn’t interested.
Iris glared at him “Not funny”. She pushed him hard in the chest. Knocking him off balance. Grabbing her arms Barry brought Iris down with him so that she was lying on top of him.
“Hello there”. Barry said in a deep voice. Iris was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. And her being on top of him with nothing but a tang top and shorts made it hard to resist. But he knew that Joe would not be please if he found them having sex.
Barry was snapped out of his thoughts by Iris’s hands trailing up to his chest and her lips on his neck. “Iriss He hissed. “We can’t do this here!”.
“Ugh, I know but I really want to”.
Barry pushed a piece of hair out of her face. “I know babe, but I gotta get going or my parents are gonna find out I left”. “But I will pick you up at 6:30”. Iris smiled. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a passionate kiss.
“Mph”! “What did I do to deserve that”?
Iris shrugged her shoulders “nothing your just a good boyfriend”.
Barry kissed her softly one last time “your a good girlfriend”. He nuzzled his nose against hers. It was is hard to leave her. And it didn’t help that Iris was holding on to him tight. Finally after a few minutes Iris fell asleep. Barry tiptoed out the window and ran back to his house praying he won’t be caught.
*****
It was 6:15 and Iris had just come back from the bathroom. She walked to her closet and put on the clothes she chose to wear the night before black skinny jeans and pink cropped shirt. Iris walked over to her vanity and opened her jewelry box. She picked up a gold chain with her mothers wedding band strung through it. Iris sighed her mother died her when she was three. Her dad threw everything that belonged to her mother away. The only thing Iris had of her mothers was the wedding band.
“Iris get down here! Barry’s going to be here soon!”
“Coming dad!”. She responded. Iris quickly put the necklace on, picked up her bag and ran downstairs.
Arriving at the kitchen Iris was greeted with the familiar smell of coffee and cronuts. Her dad must have gone to Jitters.
“Hi daddy good morning”. Iris said as she kissed her dad on the cheek.
“Good morning baby girl how did you sleep?”
“Good!” Iris sat down across from her dad and took a bite out of a cronut.
“Oh really? “Cause I heard some noises, did you hear them ”? Crap! She was busted. Her dad was gonna kill Barry and then her! Trying to play it cool Iris crumpled her eyebrows “No dad I didn’t hear anything, I think you’re just imagining it”.
Joe gave her a suspicious look. “Okay darling”.
Before Iris could say anything she saw Barry pull into her driveway.
“Uh bye dad I gotta go”. Iris quickly put on her shoes and ran out of the door.
Opening the passenger door to Barry’s car Iris sat down.
“Hey Babe”.
”Hey Iris”.
Barry pulled out of the driveway and headed to school.
“My dad almost found out you were in my room”.
The car perched to a stop. Barry looked over to girlfriend the color drained form his face.
“WHAT!?”
As much as Joe loved Barry he was very protective of his little girl. And he would kill Barry for sure if he found out that Barry was in his daughters room at night.
“Barr chill, I covered it pretty well. he has no idea that you were in my room. We just need to be more careful.”
Barry took a deep breath. “Okay, I just really don’t wanna die”.
Iris rolled her eyes, her boyfriend could be so dramatic sometimes. “He will not kill you Barry”
He gave her a look that said
“Okay he may hurt you a little.”
“More like a lot” Barry retorted, pulling into the school parking lot. Barry hoped out of the car. Grabbing Iris’s hand they walked inside CCH.
Walking in CCH was everything. They were finally seniors. They were finally on top.
Barry and Iris parted ways. Barry was headed to Calculus while Iris was headed to science. Iris walked into room 301 and sat down at an empty desk. So far she hasn’t see any of her friends. Suddenly she felt someone tap her on the shoulder. “Hey girl!” Linda said and she sat down at the desk next to Iris’s.
“Hey Lin”. Before Iris could say anything else a short old lady walked into the room. “Hello class I am your teacher Mrs. Melton.” “Today we will start are unit on chemistry”.
******
The rest of the school day passed by quickly. The first day was always a bit boring. Most of the class was getting to know what they would be learning in the school year.
Iris was at her locker gathering her stuff when Eddie Thawn approached her.
“Hey Iris”
“What do want Thawn?” Eddie had been bothering Iris since middle school. He practically slept with every girl in the grade and he has been trying to get Iris in his grasp for years.
“Whoa west just wanted to see how you were doing”. Eddies eyes traced her up and down. Most girls would melt if Eddie would look at them like that but Iris hated it.
“I’m fine Eddie, if you excuse me I gotta go meet Barry”. Iris looked over to Eddie. Jealously was written all over his face.
“Oh yeah your dating Allen”. Eddie said sprite dripping on his words.
“Yes I am”. Turning around Iris saw Barry walking towards them. Relief washed over her. Iris slammed her locker shut which caused Eddie to jump. She walked over to Barry and gave him a kiss on the lips. Part of her wanted to make Eddie more jealous. The other part of her just really loved kissing him. “Whoa you are really going at it today”. Barry said as he grabbed Iris’s hand.
“What can I say? I just can’t resist”. The couple walked out of the school leaving a jealous Eddie behind.

The drive back from school was peaceful. They talked about their day and listened to some music. They arrived at the West household. The house was a two story house painted brown and white. It had a flowers at the front of the house and a bright red door. Barry and Iris walked up to the porch and opened to door. “My dad isn’t home so we have the house to are selves”
Barry raised his eyebrows suggestively “ do you have something planned”? He leaned in closer to Iris.
Iris smacked Barry in the arm “Shut up Barry! Let’s just work on some homework”.
“That’s what I was thinking”! He said defensively while rubbing his arm. “Sure” Iris grabbed some snacks and headed to the kitchen table. The two ate quickly. It always surprised Iris how much Barry could eat he was like a bottomless pit. But Barry wasn’t fat he was actually quite toned. He was apart of the track team. Barry ran so fast he earned the nickname The Flash. Iris was part of the cheer team. Tryouts were in August and she made it again. Iris loved cheering but having Becky Cooper on the team was a nightmare.
Barry and Iris headed to her room. They had so much homework for the first day! Senior year was definitely gonna be hard. They worked on homework for 2 hrs. Finally they were done. It was now 5:00. “Hey Iris when is your dad going to be home”?
“Uh he said that he would be home around 8:00 why?”
Barry scooted closer to Iris. “Cause we finally have some alone time”.
“Barryy” “we can’t if my dad comes home and finds us making out I will be grounded for life!”
“But he won’t be home for another 3 hours!” “Come on”. Barry kissed her neck. Iris moaned she couldn’t help it. Iris leaned in closer to him and kissed him deeply. And before she knew it She was sitting in his lap. The kiss got heated quickly Iris’s hand went up to his hair pulling softly. Breaking the kiss Barry asked “did I tell you how hot you look today?” Iris shook her head.
“No you did not” she couldn’t help the smile that grew on her face.
“Well you look hot like really hot”.
“Mmm less talking more kissing”. Barry kissed Iris passionately. Their tongues intertwined. Iris’s hands began to creep up his shirt. On cue Barry took his shirt off and then proceeded to take Iris’s off. His eyes almost rolled back in his head. He had seen Iris like this before but he couldn’t help but stare. She was gorgeous. And her being in just her bra and jeans really turned him on.
“Like what you see?”
Barry didn’t respond he turned over so that Iris was below and he was on top. He moved down to her neck leaving a trail of kisses. His hands moved from her stomach lower and lower-
“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE”! Barry turned his head to see a very angry Joe West.
“Shit”
