“You know I didn’t mean it,” Kasey said with a shrug as she continued eating.

“So…” He nudged her cheek lightly with the tip of his nose. “Does that mean I can kiss you when you’re done?”

Kasey huffed again as her cheeks were painted in pink. “Maybe… If you behave so I can actually finish. Then we’ll see about it after that.”

Barry put his mouth right up to Kasey’s ear.
“You want me to behave? Make me.”

Kasey’s breath hitched at his actions and his words. Her back straightened, and she froze for a moment. Gosh, the man knew just how to get to her, didn’t he?

After a second, she shook her head and stood up from his lap. She silently grabbed her plate and fork and walked to the other side of the table, not meeting his eyes. Maybe some space would teach him a lesson…

Barry suddenly grew afraid. “Sorry—“ he said quickly, wordy seeping into his voice. “Did I go too far? Did I hurt you?”

“No,” Kasey said, her voice almost frighteningly calm. “I just thought that it might make you behave. You did tell me to, did you not?”

Barry’s frightened expression morphed into one of confusion, then surprise, then finally, laughter. “You’re learning!”

“Hm. It would seem so,” Kasey mused quietly, glancing up at him with a tiny smirk and mischievousness glittering in her eyes.

Astonished by his girlfriend’s sudden composure, Barry blinked

(Lol. Sorry not sorry Barr. You’ve got unchecked for too long, it would seem. 😂)

Kasey’s smirk turned into a grin as she laughed at her boyfriend’s obvious surprise. It was nice to be on the other end for once… “What? Cat got your tongue?”

(XD)

“If you’re the cat, then yes,” he answered, a teensy bit desperate.

(Cue Barry making a fool of himself to get her attention$

(Lol. Trust me, she’s got all her attention on him right now. She’s just hiding it well enough that he can’t tell because she wants to torture him.)

Kasey’s cheeks turned slightly pink at the comment, but there was no other sign that she was flustered.

“Oh, really? I don’t remember taking your tongue today…” she hummed thoughtfully.

(Lol)

Barry suddenly found himself blushing. “You—You could If you wanted to.”

Kasey smirked and rested her chin in her hand. “We’ll see,” she hummed, trying to keep the blush down that wanted to erupt on her cheeks.

“Kasey…” he whined, pouring playfully.

“What-y?” Kasey whined back with a small giggle.

“Come on, not fair..” he mumbled, finishing the last of his pancakes.

“I’m not fair? This is what you do to me all the time, babe,” Kasey chuckled with a grin.

“No, I tease you by giving kisses,” he protested, “Not taking them away.”

Kasey chuckled a little, albeit somewhat awkwardly, and took a bite of her pancakes. That much was true: he did tease her by kissing her, while she seemed to be doing the opposite…

“I never said I wasn’t going to kiss you,” she said softly, her smile going back to the small, flustered one that she usually wore in this type of situation.

Finally, something he could work with. A glimpse of shyness.

Barry raised an eyebrow. "Then why won't you do it?"

“Because we’re eating,” Kasey stayed simply, smiling at him for a moment longer before taking another bite of food.

"We've kissed before when we're eating," Barry protested.

Kasey grinned around her mouthful of food, swallowed, then answered quietly, “Yes, but I would like to enjoy my food before it gets cold this time.”

Still pouting theatrically, he stuck his tongue out at her and fell silent/

Kasey smiled over at him and took another bite of chocolatey pancakes. He would be fine. He just got to be teased a little bit for now.

(Skip to when they finish eating?
not it)

(dammit)

Twenty painstaking minutes of waiting for Kasey to finish her food—was she deliberately eating slower? That was how long Barry sat there, knee bouncing up and down. At some point, he'd rolled up his sleeve and watched his skylark tattoo fly over the inked sky, impatient and anxious as he was.

Kasey finally finished her food and stood, grabbing her plate as she watched Barry out of the corner of her eye. She could see how anxious he was, and it was rather amusing. It was pretty fun making him wait for her…

“Help me wash the dishes?” she requested softly.

Barry let out a resigned sigh.

“Fine… Are you just going to torture me all day?”
