(Meet The) Competition // Barriscowest Drabble
The best way to avoid Barry's habit of being late is to come to him instead. They're meeting up outside of the CCPD for a dinner date at the Italian restaurant that just opened up down the way. Iris' heels clack against the smooth concrete that outlines the entrance of the precinct.
Iris watches Barry push the glass doors to the CCPD open, one hand full with his jacket and the other holding his phone to his ear. He's smiling, laughing into the phone.
"Who's on the phone?" Iris asks.
"Your competition." Barry chirped.
Iris grins. She grabs the phone and pulls it towards her, "Hi Cisco!"
"Uh, hi. Iris." Cisco's voice is flustered, if a little nervous. "Should I be worried that you knew exactly who he was referring to?"
Iris reaches over to pinch the meat of Barry's forearm. Not subtle, babe. "Nope. Not at all. What's up?"
Barriscowest! I think it'd be really cute if Westallen referred to Cisco as "the competition/your competition" to each other!
Maybe at first it's just a little joke about how close Cisco is to both of them... Until they realize it isn't really a joke. Then it becomes an inside joke as they consider opening their relationship, consider dating Cisco and then consider how to lure Cisco into their relationship, hahaha.
