Dance Lessons


        It has been one heck of a day today. Being a nurse is hard, especially when every kid at the middle school you work at thinks they are dying of every illness on the planet. You are an assistant for the main school nurse, so you're not even getting paid to get sneezed on. You slowly make your way down the halls of S.T.A.R. Lab, doing your best to not just curl up on the floor and sleep. This internship is going to be the end of you.

You were a few more turns from the main science lab when you heard the quiet echoes of music bouncing off the walls. You pause in your already slowing steps, straining your ears to hear what is playing. "Geronimo" by Sheppard, one of your favorite songs. You smirk as you start up walking again. Making your way to the main room, the music slowly became louder, to the point where you started to cringe as you entered the room. What greeted you caused you to grin widely. Cisco was dancing, by himself mind you, in such a way that you just had to laugh out loud. You miss judged your laughing volume, causing Cisco to jump and squeal like a little girl. You couldn't help but laugh harder. Cisco turned around and places his hands on his hips. His face was fighting with itself, not knowing if he should laugh with you or scold you for scaring him.

     You cock your head to the side and drop your things to fold your arms. "So I take it you have everything from the last Metahuman we captured all documented and whatnot?" You snort, unfolding your arms go pick your things up and place them your designated corner of the room. The music quieted, so you can hear your own thoughts now. Cisco cracked a smile and came over to you to give you a hug.

      "Yeah everything is all set for that guy. Just don't tell Barry or Caitlyn about what just happened." He looked at you with pleading eyes. "They would never take me seriously again." He even made his lip tremble, making the sound of a begging puppy.

      You roll your eyes and laugh a bit. "Yeah Cisco, your secret is safe with me." You shrugged off your coat and moved over to the left medical room, deciding now was a good time as any to get some of Barry's medical records organized. You moved to work here at S.T.A.R Labs a few years ago. Dr. Wells asked for you to help Caitlyn with the medical side of monitoring Barry. She liked having another girl in the lab. You pulled a lab coat on and reached for a beaker and tongs. But it turns out Cisco has other plans. Music starts to blare everywhere, "Shut up and Dance", causing you to almost drop the things in your hands. You suddenly feel a pair of arms reach around you and taking the things from your hands and putting them down and then take your hands in theirs. Turning you around you came face to face with not Cisco. It's Barry.

"Oh! Barry. I didn't hear you speed in." You try your hardest to not just stop and stare at his face. His cute nose, his soft looking hair, his dreamy blue/green eyes. The worst part is getting caught up in his smile, the lines around his mouth just begging to be kissed. You blinked and shook your head slightly. No, he is your friend. Besides you are sure he has something for Iris. You opt to glance around the room, finding Cisco giving you a knowing smile. You glare playfully at him, sticking your tongue out. You are so going to get him later for this. He knows, well more like guessed, about your somewhat huge attraction to his speedster friend. Maybe this is to keep your lips sealed about his girlish scream.

Barry decided to come to the Lab early that day. Things had been pretty slow and quiet at the CCPD office, so he thought coming to see his friends would be a pretty reasonable use of his free time. Besides, he honestly wanted to see if you were here. He loved the fact that you are so dedicated to your work. You spend hours with kids and their gross habits to come here and deal with his whining. Looking down at you, he can't help but hope you looked forward to coming in and spending time with him, because he loved seeing your happy face and hear your melodious laugh. He leans forward and starts to take your lab coat off.

"I decided to walk here. It had been a really slow day at the office so I figured coming here we could all do something together. So I will take this," he took the coat all the way off and draped it on the back of a chair, "and we will join Cisco." He took your hands and smiled at you, as if he knew something you didn't.

      You smile back at him and willingly followed him to the main room where you can clearly see Cisco messing with the music toggle. Several songs skipped by as he tried to find the song he wanted. Then the first notes of "Up Town Funk" came on and Cisco fist pumped. It looks like he found the song he was looking for.

     "Ok guys, Caitlyn said she was almost on her way here. Then the party can really start." He moves to put a few things away and pushed a few rolling chair to the side so there was more room to dance around. You looked down and found one of your hand still grasped in on of Barry's. Not that you are complaining, but you didn't want him to feel like he had to hold it. You made the sound of clearing your throat, causing him to look at you with a small smile, but a question in his eyes. You look down at your intertwined hands and look back at him, your eyes also asking a question.

     "Oh. Sorry." He immediately dropped your hand and he placed his inside his pockets. You regretted it the minuet it happened. You rub your hand on your pants, trying to get the feeling of his skin off of yours, no matter how much you wished he still held it. Barry turned to you again, but this time started to do some weird "dance" movements. You giggled, watching as he tried to move his body like a wave, but to be honest he isn't that good at it. Cisco comes over and joins him. Now you are having a hard time breathing; you are laughing so hard.

     "Oh come on (Y/n)! You know how to dance, I have seen you do it in the lab before." Called Barry with a huge smile plastered on his face. Cisco beckoned you with his hand, urging you forward.

    You gock. "What?! When did you see me dance? Barry Allen, I thought you said you wouldn't creep up on me!" You try to keep a stern face but it broke once Barry gave you the most pitiful look, almost in an apology. You shake your head and scoff, a hint of a smile reaching your eyes.

       Barry about wanted to rush you with a hug, you looked so ticked. But he figured he could dance the scowl off your face. He grabs your hands pulling you forward and extended his arms so the tip of his left hand touched the tip of your right. Cisco came over and put the tip of his right hand at the tip of yours. Barry started the wave, moving his body and arms up and down. Then it came to you, you shook your head but smiled and tried to copy what he did, transferring the wave to Cisco. By the time it got the the end of Cisco and half-way through you, you all heard laughing and the clicking of heals, causing all three of you to turn. Caitlyn stood at the door of the lab and was shaking her head with faked despair.

      "And these are the people I choose to spend the majority of my time with. Oh great." She looks at each of you and smiles. "Now, Cisco, you ready to learn to dance? The tango and waltz is hard to learn in one day, especially for you." She hits a button and changes the song to something more relaxed. Gracefully and with some added flourish she places herself in front of a wildly dancing Cisco, grabbing his hands and making him stop his ridiculous hip movements. You laugh along with Barry as Caitlyn tried to reign in her friend.

    You turn to Barry and whisper to him, "Why is she teaching him how to dance? I didn't even think that sentence would ever be uttered." You both laugh. You love his laugh. It's so care free and open. So real.

     Leaning down to your level a bit, Barry whispers back, giving you goosebumps. "His brother is getting married and he is the best man. It's a good idea to know how to dance for something like that. Caitlyn took dance lessens when she was younger and offered to help." He turned back to his friends and watched as they stumbled across the floor. He takes a deep breath and turns to you.

      Bowing like a well taught gentleman, Barry extended his hand, the other resting on his back. "My lady," you just had to giggle, "may I have this dance?" He looked up at you through his lashes as he awaited your answer. Your breath hitched at how attractive he looks in such a state. Numbly you placed your hand in his and let him place his other hand on your waist. You jump a bit, but quickly relaxed in his arms. You definitely could get used to this. He slowly starts to move the both of you across the room, staying in perfect synchronization with the music.

     "You are a very good dancer Barry. Did Joe dance you around the house before prom or something?" You didn't think he would dance so well from his earlier dancing but you were sorely mistaken.

     Barry blushed. Yes, blushed. He looked away but then back to your eyes. He didn't know how to tell you but he had this set up so he could have the opportunity to dance with you. There really aren't any other ways to get you into his arms. Pulling you closer, he answered in a low voice.

     "Thank you. I have been practicing for such sudden dancing as this." He winked. You would have fallen had he not been holding you this whole time. You coyly smile at him and he nervously smiles.

     "Barry. Cisco doesn't need dance lessons, does he?" You look him hard in the eyes to see if he is hiding anything. He blushes again. Checking over you shoulder, he notices that Cisco and Caitlyn were no longer in the room, their whispering coming from the hall. Hoping you didn't notice their absence, he dances you a little closer and slower.

     "(Y/n), I have a confession to make."

     "I knew it! Cisco could never learn to dance." You both laugh but Barry gets serious fast.

      "True, but there is something else." He takes one of his hands and rubs the back of his neck. Stepping away, you both stop dancing. Your arms hanging limp at your sides, your body tingling from the absence of his touch. You coususly step closer and place a hand on his hanging arm. Looking up at him, your eyebrows scrunched in worry, you whisper his name in question.

     That was it for him. He couldn't hold it in any longer. Your voice, your body, your laugh, all of it; it has been driving him crazy. He turned his head and made eye contact for just a moment before he placed a hand on your face, stroking your cheek. You blush, but held still, waiting to see what he did next. Man, that was a good idea.

    He slowly leaned in. His eyes looking between your eyes and lips. Standing still you let him come to you. He stops oh so agonizingly close. His eyes searched your face, waiting for a sign to stop or keep going. You pushed yourself up, closing the space in an instant. His lips fit perfectly to yours, moving slowly and yet hungrily at the same time. His hands held your face and body, pulling you gently closer. On hand ran through your hair, making your body tingle. You savored his taste, his smell, his lips. Your hands came up his chest and rested on his neck, playing with the back of his hair, holding him close.  After a few moments you both pulled a part just enough to catch your breath and smile.

     Barry rested his forehead on yours, breathing you in, loving the feel of you in his arms. "You have no idea how long I have wanted to do that." He smiled and you quickly smiled back, giggling just a bit.

    You look up at him and give him a slow, but loving peck. "Now you can do it whenever you want." You both slowly danced around the room for who knows how long, the music having died off long ago.
