Holiday Flash Fic Prompts Here!

You stood in the corner, sipping your spike-free punch. You had no idea why your friend had dragged you to this party. You were so much more the stay in kind or if you were going out it was to a quiet movie or coffee shop, not a loud holiday party.

“Hot chocolate or tea?” Miles asked as he held up a box for each.

“Miles, you don’t have to make either,” you told him just wanting your boyfriend to come snuggle you.

“You’re right! I’ll make both so we can all share or you can have both or...” you missed whatever he said after that since he was already in the kitchen and you could hear mugs clinking around.

Barbara squeezed you softly and pressed a kiss to your cheek, “You know he loves you right? He’s just being, well, Miles and comforting the way he knows how.”

You sighed and nuzzled yourself into the crook of her neck, “He’s already made me mac and cheese and a dozen bagel bites. It’d be nice if he just relaxed with us.”

“Hold on. I got this,” Barbara pulled away from you but didn’t get up, “Miles! Put down the mugs and get your ass in here!”

Miles came running in, looking around wildly, “Is everything okay?”

“It will be if you slow your roll for five minutes and just join us,” Barbara lifted the covers from the opposite side of you.

You started to shed your jacket as you got to your desk but you shivered and slipped it back on, “Is it me or it is colder in here than outside?”

Barbara made a face, “The AC is broken.”

“It still should be warmer in here,” you frowned as you sat down.

She snorted, “It should be but it’s not just the heater. The cool is stuck on and lucky us it’s only in our office.”

“Oh, that is lucky,” you sighed.

As the day went on you could swear it was getting colder in the office and you were shaking by lunch. You started to look for the blanket you usually kept nearby. As you started going through your drawers she asked, “Looking for something.”

“Yeah. I brought a blanket awhile ago and-” you stopped as you looked up and she was giving you a guilty smile. You noticed your blanket wrapped around her shoulders. She began to shrug it off. You shook your head and told her, “No it’s okay. I’ll see if merch has any extra.”

Barbara frowned, “It’s your blanket. I should be the one who goes and finds another one.” You stood still but she shook her head, “Sit down.”

You sighed and she rolled over, bringing her laptop with her. You laughed as she scooted over to you. She set her computer next to yours and threw half of the blanket over your shoulders, “There. We can cuddle together for warmth.”

“Barbara, this is silly,” you giggled. She just shrugged and went to work.

You laughed and tried to focus on what you were doing but with Barbara sitting so close you were distracted by how pretty she was. You knew your friend was pretty but seeing her this close in this lighting made your heart skip a beat.

You shook your head trying to focus on your work but Barbara smelled so nice.

You had typed two sentences in the course of two hours and nearly jumped when Bethany poked her head in the office, “You two look snuggly.”

The smirk on her face made you feel like she knew something.

Barbara chose to ignore the comment and shut her laptop, “Ready for lunch?”

“BARBARA!” you shouted as soon as you were near the podcast set.

“Uh oh,” you heard her scrambling to hide or run as you marched closer.

As soon as you were in view Gavin, Gus, and Burnie were giggling like most of your coworkers have been doing all day. Though you knew why they were all day. You were about to ask where your girlfriend had gone when you saw some blonde hair peeking from the back of the couch.

During Extra Life you had “won” a date with Barbara and you’d be lying if you said it wasn’t one of the best dates of your life. You had to constantly remind yourself throughout the night that she was just doing this for charity.

Barbara seemed to be laughing at all your jokes and the two of you did have a lot in common. You had kept the conversation polite during dinner and you kept your hands to yourself during the movie but she did brush her hand against your leg and left it there for a little longer than what would be considered friendly.

She was walking with you to the Uber that would take you guys back home and was a part of your date.

“So I guess this is the end of the date? I mean there’s the awkward ride home with the Uber driver but…” you trailed off.

Barbara picked up the conversation for you, “Well, technically yes.” She paused biting her lip and gave you a look that picked up the butterflies in your stomach, giving you that little bit of hope. “But, you know, tonight has been one of the nicest dates I’ve been on in a long time and I hope it wouldn’t be creepy of me to ask but there’s a park nearby and maybe you’d want to make it last a little longer and go for a walk with me.”

You perked up instantly and had to remind yourself not to shout in excitement so you calmly told her, “I would love nothing more but what do we do about the Uber.”

She smiled and told you, “I got this.”

She walked over to the car and knocked on the window softly. He rolled down the window and she leaned in. You had to bite your lip to keep from laughing as she told him, “You’re all good here pal. Now get lost.” As he drove off she turned to you with a smile, “There we go.”

You laughed softly, “Ready to go?” You offered her your arm.

“One more thing,” she told you before cupping your face and leaning in close for a soft kiss. Your heart skipped a few beats and you nearly missed your chance to return the kiss but you squeezed it in. She was all smiles as she pulled away, “I’m all good now.”

“Hey you got something riiiiight,” you sang as you reached over during Jon’s ad read and wiped some of the silly string that had on on her cheek away, “there.”

Barbara gave you an adoring smile that honestly made you weak every time. “Thanks,” she told you leaning over to steal a quick kiss. just as the ad was over so, of course, the cameras had switched to you when you weren’t looking.

“Listen, if anyone says anything I’ll go full on Yang on them,” your girlfriend told you as you fiddled with you eyepatch once again.

Barbara took your hands so you’d stop. You gave a heavy sigh, “I hate this thing. When was the last time you’ve seen an eyepatch? I look dumb.”

Barbara frowned, “It’s only for a few weeks while your eye heals up and until then we can just pretend you’re Nick Fury or the world’s coolest modern day pirate.”

You finally smile and shake your head, “Why are you so good to me?”

“Are you sure about this?” you giggled as Barbara pulled off your shirt.

She smiled brightly and kissed you a few times, “Oh, you’re so innocent. Trust me everyone’s gone already. No one’s going to catch us.”

You wanted to keep arguing but as she tugged off her own shirt you lost all train of thought. You grabbed her hips and pulled her closer for a rough kiss.

“That’s what I thought,” she whispered against you.
