Barry handed the elastic back to her, attempting a nonchalant shrug. "It's fine, it was just….. I felt a bit awkward. Sorry."

"It's fine," Kasey assured him gently as she took the elastic from him. She slipped it onto her wrist and looked up at him, still blushing. "I'm sorry if my inviting you made you uncomfortable…"

Barry shook his head quickly. "No it's fine– I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable. I'm not… good with this kind of stuff."

"You didn't, it was all me," Kasey said, shaking her head. Me and that stupid, stupid dream… "It's okay, honestly. I'm just not used to showing my waist off to guys…"

Barry barely resisted the urge to cover his face with his hands. "And I don't usually tattoo underneath girls' shirts. And it wasn't all you at all, you didn't do anything."

"All right…" Kasey sighed, chewing on her lip as she looked up at Barry. "Do you want to do something? We could order another pizza…"

Barry nodded. "Sure. I'm paying this time, though."

"What? Why? I don't mind it, honestly," Kasey assured him, moving to stand.

"You payed the last few times, it's my turn now.", he insisted, tugging absentmindedly at his earlobe. "I can't keep leeching off of you."

"Yeah, but it's my apartment, and plus, I still owe you for the tattoo," Kasey argued.

"You paid me back by paying for pizza the last few times and agreeing to go out on a date with me.", Barry pressed, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly at the mention of the date.

"Well… Okay, sure. I guess you can pay," Kasey gave in with a shrug.

"Awesome. Pepperoni as usual?"

"Yessir," Kasey chuckled with a nod. "That sounds good."

Skip to when pizza arrived?)

(I can)
(Sorry I took so long we went out for dinner)

Barry opened the box, the aroma of warm pizza wafting up to meet his nose. "Yum."

(Ooh, fun!)

"Mm… Thanks for getting the pizza, Bare," Kasey hummed happily.

(yeah, we had Korean food, which by the way is delicious)

"No problem." He handed her a slice, scooting around the box to sit next to her, a tiny bit closer than strictly necessary.

(Never tried it.)

"Thanks," Kasey said, smiling at him as she took the piece of pizza. Their fingers brushed slightly, causing her to blush a bit. "So, should we watch something?"

(it's awesome)

Barry's heart skipped a beat when their fingers brushed, heart tattoo flashing pink, but he did his best to remain calm and composed. "Up to you. The Shield thingy was good."

"Agents of SHIELD?" Kasey chuckled, taking a bite of her pizza. "Sure. I'll pull it up on Netflix."

"Great." Barry scooted ever so slightly closer to her while she got her laptop ready, his thigh lightly brushing hers.

Kasey blushed some more, pulling the show up quickly. She got the episode up that they had stopped on, taking a bite of her pizza. Chewing on her lip a bit, she laid her head on his shoulder.

Barry's breath caught. Slowly, so as not to scare her off, he slipped one arm around her and hugged her close to him, laying his head lightly on top of hers.

Kasey smiled and snuggled slightly closer to him. She took another bite of her pizza as she watched the show.

Barry couldn't breath. Ohmygod I'm freaking cuddling with my crush ohmygod. He did his best to focus on the show and not the way Kasey's hair spilt over his shoulder, not the fact that she fit perfectly up against his side. He definitely did not think about how easy it would be to gently kiss the top of her head and continue watching SHIELD, or about how he could twine his fingers with hers.

I'm cuddling with him! He didn't push me away! He's so comfy…

Kasey blushed deeply at her own thoughts, chewing on her lip to hide her grin.

Barry's eyes lingered on her pink face. "You're blushing.", he murmured, brushing over her cheek lightly with his thumb.
