#eobardxreader

There was still a part of him that was in disbelief. It couldn’t have been a dream, it felt too real.

Even though Eobard no longer had memories of his time with you, the mere fact that he’s here is proof enough. He’d given up his mission, his plan built on hate and vengeance. Walking into the lab every morning after that was the best thing. You would catch glimpses of him in the neighboring labs. He was a scientist with many talents, so everyone wanted to work with him. He blended in pretty quickly.

The times you were able to see him, it was just little glances and bashful smiles that he always returned. You felt a bit ridiculous. You’d literally jumped a much more intimidating version of this man. 

So why were you acting like a giddy school girl? 

It has only been a week and you hadn’t truly worked up to really having an actual conversation.

“You have a crush on the new guy.”

Jimmy’s words made you choke on your juice. Eobard’s eyes caught you from a table next to your own and you turned your head as you glared at Jimmy, wiping your mouth with a napkin.

“Sorry, it’s just so obvious. You’ve been staring at him for days. He can’t seem to stop looking at you either but none of you are brave enough to make the first move. I thought I was in a rom com for a second.”

“You being the annoying friend.” Jimmy grins.

“You know it’s the truth though. Just talk to him. It’s clear that you’re both into each other.” You try to steal another glance at Eobard. He’s talking with some people on his team. You place your cheek in your palm.

“It’s not that simple..” You mumble.

“Why not?”

You wish you could explain why it was so hard. Something along the lines of he was an evil speedster and you managed to change his ideation with the power of love and a really great night of passionate, explosive sex.

You let out another heavy sigh.

“You wouldn’t get it.”

So you look back down at your lunch with a frown.

Jimmy just rolled his eyes.

“If you’re just going to sulk then I have to live up to the role I’ve been appointed.” You aren’t sure what that means until he stands with his lunch.

“Hey guys can we join your table!”

You panic, shaking your head vigorously.

“No, no!”

You continue to mouth, but he ignores you.

“Sure, come on over.” They offer.

Your shoulders drop in defeat when he begins walking over. You can’t just sit there, surely they’ll think that you hate them. So you grab your lunch and move to have a seat. Your intention is to take the empty space that isn't close to Eobard. That way you could avoid further embarrassing yourself. Jimmy beats you to it and you almost hiss at him. So reluctantly, you move to Eobard, planting yourself down as you try to remain as quiet as possible.

That doesn’t work, because he smiles at you.

“Hey, (Y/N) right?”

“Yep, that’s me.”

Oh how you want to disappear.

“I don’t think we’ve actually had a chance to talk. I heard that you saved the lab. That’s amazing. You also created the new prototype that detects and eliminates cancerous cells. You’re a genius.”

You’re a bit flattered that he’s done so much research on you and your work.

“I heard you’re a genius yourself. Most of us have specialties but you’ve been bouncing around in every field. “

“Definitely a genius.” He jokes.

The rest of the lunch is the table going back and forth. Every now and then you can feel Eobard’s eyes on you, but you don’t confront him. You just try to keep the conversations around your little group going. Lunch is over and everyone is dispersing. You mean to meet up with Jimmy to walk back, but he’s already gone. Eobard however is right next to you, throwing away the trash in his tray as he turns back to you. You’re a bit stiff, even when he sends you a little smile. You walk back in silence and Eobard finally feels the need to make a statement.

“I don’t know if I’m reading this wrong but do you dislike me?”

You stop, shaking your head.

“Of course not. Why w-would you think that?”

“Well you barely look at me and you get guarded whenever I’m around. I’m no profiler but it seems like you don’t like me.”

Your head lowers.

“I..like you..” You say softly.

He takes in the subtle tint on your cheeks, and his grin is wide.

“I like you too.”

Your heart is racing a beat too quickly. Neither of you realize that the room is empty. Not that it would make much of a difference. Since you’ve gotten this far, might as well just dive in.

“Would you like to come over some time? You seem to be new in the city, I can give you a download of all the sights. Maybe we can check them out together. “

“I’d like that.”

He’s fully turned in your direction, and you're both just standing there just gazing at each other.

“This might sound weird but there’s something about you that just..” 

His gaze drifts to your lips. You’re barely keeping it together as it is. This situation isn't helping at all. Eobard takes a step.

“W-What are you..doing?” You ask.

He shakes his head.

“I don’t know.”

He leans in, pressing a kiss to your lips and your hands automatically pull him closer. His brows knit in satisfaction, hand circling your body. You wish this will last forever. He pulls back, and when his eyes meet your own, there’s a faint glow in his irises that vanish as fast as they appeared.

“(Y/N).”

His tone sounds different, if you didn’t know any better, you would have actually thought this was…

“Eobard?”

Your hesitance shows, and he licks his lip in that irresistible way. That devilish grin on his face is a sight you truly thought you would never see again. You jump into his arms, hugging him tightly.

“EOBARD!!”

He lifts you off the ground with a laugh.

“I hate to admit it, but you did win."

He’s content with how well the situation concluded.

His team is safe.

You were with them.

As he sat in the cortex running through the updates, he placed his cheek in his palm, letting out a content sigh. Godspeed is locked up, no longer causing havoc.

Life literally could not get any better than this.

The very object of his affections comes waltzing into the room and he straightens.

“You’re always working, aren't you boss?”

Eobard grins.

“I am the leader after all. I’m just doing a sweep on our program. Caitlin does her best to provide new algorithms that assist us with stopping metas before they cause damage. The tech is more her field, so I’ve been trying to get more acquainted with it. It doesn’t hurt to be prepared.”

That is smart.

When you send him a little smile, he lets out a chuckle.

“What’s with the look?”

You shrug.

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“Don’t play coy, you just gave me a look.” He’s still wearing that smile.

“Completely in the dark.” You respond. He just shakes his head. It’s still a bit strange how normal this is.

This man used to be the biggest enemy of Team Flash, but as you look at him, you can’t help but be thankful. Whatever higher power did this helped not just Eobard, but also you. You’ve been through quite a lot in the last few years. But even after all of that, there is still an opportunity for an ending where you can actually be happy.

It’s all because of him.

You take a step, placing your hand on his cheek, and words seem to have fallen from his lips. His gaze is now fully fixed on you. You’re not sure what exactly that you’ve done to deserve the level of love that is displayed on this man’s face when he looks at you. He wears the badge of a leader, and he does his best to appear strong in every aspect. But when he looks at you, his feelings are always written all over his face.

It’s actually very adorable.

Although you both know how you feel, nothing has truly been said about your relationship. Especially after those countless kisses that seem to just occur at such a bad time.

Yet, right now, there’s no enemy attacking.

Nor is there some word changing event.

It’s just the two of you right now.

You can be honest.

“Eobard, would you..would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow?”

You can see the surprise so easily written on his face.

“A..A date?”

“Yes.”

You need to be extremely clear, because you don’t want any more misunderstandings. Nor do you intend to waste any more time beating around the bush.

“I’d love to.” Eobard replies.

Your smile is difficult to hide. He lifts his hand, placing it gently over yours. When he stands, you anticipate his next move. Eobard takes a step and as he’s about to lean in, the alarm goes off. Both of you turn to the computer, and Eobard lowers his head with a little laugh.

“I swear our biggest enemy is poor timing.”

You can’t help but agree with a giggle.

“You might be right.”

He’s still fairly close. Eobard leaves a kiss on your cheek.

“Let’s go stop some bad guys.”

It’s all bittersweet, being back.

You’d woken up in the hospital with a clean bill of health. Everyone was shocked. Especially the guard who saw you take a full blast of lightning straight to the chest.

When you got to the lab, you didn’t expect the round of applause from fellow scientists. Everyone in the building was standing at the entrance clapping. You shuffled to the side to question one of the other interns that worked with you.

“W-What’s going on?”

She smiled.

“You crazy psycho, you saved the entire lab. That bolt that you ran into would have hit the circuit box in that room. Firefighters said if it had connected, the whole place would have gone up in smoke. You saved billions of dollars of research. Not to mention how many casualties you prevented other buildings close by.”

“I-I did?”

She nods, and she pushes you forward as you walk through the hall waving awkwardly and shaking hands with everyone you seem to pass by. The CEO of the company is wearing the biggest smile. “

“Thank you so much. There’s nothing I can truly do to express my gratitude. “ She shakes your hand vigorously and you just giggle, rubbing the back of your neck.

“N-No problem. A-Anytime.”

The remainder of the day you’re met with the royal treatment. It’s a little strange, but nice to be recognized. Even Jimmy had found you at some point and basically bowed at your feet from protecting his tech. All in all, it was a great day.

But as you returned that afternoon, you felt a bit hollow.

There was no sign of Eobard. It was a bit naive to think he would jump in after you, but you hoped that maybe if he felt even a glimmer of what you did, he would risk it.

So you wait.

Day one you’re hopeful.

Day two you’re desperate.

Day three, you see the truth.

Walking into the lab on the fourth day, you’re fairly sluggish. You get to work on your machine and many others. Your time at star labs has given you a lot of insight. Working day and night with such intelligent people really opened up your eyes. If you thought you got recognition for saving the lab, when you finally got your machine up and running, your resident supervisor was practically glowing with pride as broke down how it worked. It was extraordinary. With any luck, in a matter of months they could actually get it working in hospitals.

The following week, you're sitting on your couch, watching a repeat of one of your favorite episodes. It’s stupid to torture yourself like this. Looking at something you could no longer have. But it was the only thing you have left. You clenched the pillow that night, falling asleep to the sound of Eobard giving Barry a pep talk while dealing with the latest resident bad.

On your way to work the next morning, you down a cup of coffee and get started on a new project.

“What are you working on?”

You smile at Jimmy. He’s become somewhat of a colleague rather than a rival, especially after you helped him with his own creation.

“It’s a memory foam I guess. For people suffering from Dementia and Alzheimer's. I figured if I can create the cure for cancer, why stop there. There’s so many diseases and illnesses out there. We can do so much for people if we really put our mind to it. I guess my time in that coma showed me exactly what I wanted to do. I want to save people.”

“That’s..incredible (Y/N).”

You grin.

“Thank you, I aim to please.” you joke.

He laughs and you spot your supervisor at the door. You wave at him, returning your focus to your work.

The door opens behind as John walks in.

“This is where all our other paid interns work on different projects for the better of humanity. You hear that, paid interns."

 Everyone in the room laughs at John’s quip. He’s caught you all a few times chatting around in the lab or playing uno. So his words aren’t completely unwarranted.

“Who’s the new fish?” Jimmy asks.

You can hear a number of chuckles, and you laugh, drawing up your rough sketch for the blueprints you’ll need to make.

“My name is Eobard, Eobard Thawne.”

Your head whips around at the name and you drop the pencil. 

Your eyes are planted on the blond haired man and the second he sees you, he offers a smile. It’s so warm and filled with light, you almost break down right there. He walks right up to you with his hand extended.

“It’s nice to meet you.”

You just gape for a few seconds, when you finally gather the courage to reach out, you take his hand. A pleasant shock rushes through your finger tips and his awestruck expression mirrors your own. He must realize that he’s been holding your hand and staring for far too long. He pulls back nervously.

“S-Sorry. I didn’t get your name."

You offer the biggest smile you can, because this is nothing short of a miracle.

“(Y/N) (L/N), it’s really nice to meet you.”

He’s smiling just as brightly.

Although you suggested dinner, it doesn’t stop your nerves.

Given that you’re both speedsters, you agreed to get to the restaurant on time. Between battling a metahuman and finishing up on your actual job, you were somewhat running around like a headless chicken.

That’s why when you rush into the restaurant, you do your best to ensure you are presentable. You fidget with your ring. In the event that there is an attack, it’s good to have your suit on demand. You’re being guided to your seat and the moment Eobard’s eyes catch you, he stands, clearly taken with your appearance.

“I’ll be back shortly.”

You nod at the server, and Eobard pulls your chair out.

“Thank you.”

He nods, taking his seat.

“You look beautiful.”

You flush.

“Thank you. You look very handsome as well.” You catch sight of his ring and you grin.

“I guess we both had the same idea.”

His eyes follow your gaze and he laughs.

“It’s unrealistic to expect Central City not to have some crazy attack. No matter where we are.”

That is sadly true.

“I’m glad that we finally had a chance to do this.” You express.

He’s grateful for the same.

You were so nervous, but now that you’re sitting here, it feels easier.

“With all that happened, did you ever think we’d be sitting here like this?”

You question.

Eobard shakes his head.

“To be honest, I didn’t think we would ever get close.”

It feels so long ago when you first showed up. You understand what he means.

Eobard laughs softly, shaking his head.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to bring that up. I know it might still be a sore topic. Given what the other me put you through. I can’t imagine this discussion ever becoming normal.”

He lifts his glass of water, taking a sip and you can’t help but smile. Eobard has always been considerate and careful with you. You’ve picked up on all the little things and it reminds you an awful lot of Barry and Iris. Their love has always been legendary, and you’d be lying if you said that you didn’t want the same. Someone to cherish forever.

“You don’t have to walk on eggshells with me, Eobard.”

He finally places the glass down, and you reach over, placing your hand in his. For a second he just stares at it, then he squeezes.

“The past was tough, I can’t pretend that it didn’t happen and I can’t expect you to tiptoe around it every time it comes up. It was hard for both of us. The Eobard of the past, he was cruel, selfish. When I first got here I was scared, terrified. I kept looking at you and seeing him. It was difficult. But everything you did, everything you said showed me that you weren’t that man. I don’t know what I was like in this timeline, but I know it could not have been easy watching me everyday knowing how I felt. You had no obligation to help me, especially after how I treated you. Since I’ve gotten here, I’ve been grateful for a lot of things. But the thing that I’m most grateful for..it’s you.”

His expression is nothing but pure elation and you giggle.

“You’re also so easy to read and it’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.”

His cheeks flush and he clears his throat, looking away bashfully.

The waiter returns, and he tries to act natural. You give his hand another little squeeze and the color on his cheeks brighten.

~~

One beautifully normal dinner after and you’re back at Eobard’s loft.

You’ve both agreed that a movie marathon of criminal minds was the only way to end the evening.

You’d take a shower and swiped a pair of Eobard’s shorts and a baggy t-shirt. He couldn’t stop laughing when he saw you walk out with the attire. He’d pretty much set up everything for the marathon, and now he was about to take a shower himself.

“Well, you sure know how to rock those shorts.” He teases.

“I'll be back in a few minutes. There’s drinks in the fridge and you can put another popcorn into the microwave. Don’t you dare start any episode without me.”

“I won’t, scout’s honor.”

He nods with a smile, heading up the stairs. You get busy finishing the preparations. When his cell phone goes off, you pick it up.

It’s Barry.

You click.

“Hey Barry what’s up?”

“(Y/N)?? Sorry to bug you, is Eobard free for a second?”

You tilt your head.

“I don’t hear the shower, so he must be grabbing clothes. Give me a second.” You zip upstairs, knocking on the door. You turn the knob, stepping inside. The door closes behind you.

“Hey Eobard Barry wanted to talk with you..”

Your words trail off, because he’s just taken off his shirt and you have a great view of his naked torso. Eobard looks a bit startled, and he lowers his hand.

“S-Sorry I didn’t know you were changing I..” You turn your back to him, embarrassed.

“I get what’s going on. I’ll call you lovebirds in the morning~”

“Wait Barry it’s not what you-”

He’s already hung up, and you sigh, running your hand through your hair.

“He’s going to spread rumors.” You grumble.

Eobard lets out a nervous laugh.

“We should expect this by now. This is Barry after all. “

He’s completely right. You grip the phone in your hand.

You should turn tail and get out of there. That’s the only reasonable choice here. But the image of his body is now engraved in your mind. You reach for the dresser that’s closest to the door, placing his phone down as you turn slowly.

Eobard looks unsure of what action to take. When he sees your eyes fixed on him, he swallows.

“I-I should jump into the shower..”

You move closer cautiously. Eobard is now trying to look at anything but directly at you.

“Y-You know so we can get back to the movie. I did promise you a nice back rub too. You’re probably looking forward to that.”

Another awkward laugh. It makes you smile.

“Ever since I got here you’ve taken care of me. You’ve always taken care of me, Eobard.”

“That’s what friends do.”

He internally winces at his response.

“Friends, really. That’s your big comeback.”

When you’re right next to him, you want to reach out.

“Are we just friends?”

He finally looks at you, and you can see it. The love that he so eagerly wears on his sleeve everyday.

“To me you’re not just a friend. I think now, it’s time for me to take care of you.”

You cup his cheek, and he shivers at the heat that rushes where your palm follows. You press a kiss to his awaiting lips and his eyebrows knit. He’s anticipated this for so long. It’s almost surreal. He only realizes that you’ve backed him up when his legs give way and he’s now sitting on the bed. He takes another breath.

“I think I had a dream like this when I slept over back in college. “

You grin at the confession.

“D-Did I just say that out loud. Uhh..I..”

His mind is reeling. You climb into his lap, and his hands nervously gravitate to your hips.

“(Y/N)..”

“It’s okay.” You assure.

He’s been frazzled since you walked through that door. Your fingers glide down his chest, and Eobard’s eyes close. You can feel his heart racing, more than usual. It’s amazing how honest his body responds to you. The unsteady rise of his chest. Those welcoming lips. Beautiful eyes that always convey exactly what he’s feeling. Your hands move back to his cheeks, and his eyes open. It’s hard to explain all that you see in those eyes. When you lean forward, you leave a little kiss on his cheek.

He wonders how he could have something right beneath his palm and still not truly believe in it. His hand skims over your skin, and you pull back, watching him with so much love.

Eobard kisses you with a sense of urgency. You’re a bit taken aback. He’s been very good at staying in control, but right now is different. You aren’t running from an imminent threat, or facing some crucial decision. At this moment, it’s just the both of you.

He parts with a huff, resting his forehead on your shoulder.

“Please..please tell me you want this because I..I don’t want to stop..”

His tone is so desperate, and you nod, biting your lip.

“I want this.”

The validation that he’s waited for all his life. You melt into him as you lay back, pulling you down with him.

The break that was needed after that whole ordeal would be extensive. But for now, you settled for retiring to your apartment.

Eobard has joined you. It’s more for peace of mind. He’d been fairly quiet after you announced your stay. Now in the comfort of your home, you give a little stretch. There’s no speedster outfits. You’ve changed into casual wear. Here, you’re not crime fighting heroes, just people. Dropping on your bed, you let out a heavy sigh. It’s weird not having a big bad to chase.

You turn to Eobard who still looks a bit lost in his thoughts.

“Eo-”

“You stayed. “ He interrupts.

“You don’t sound too happy about it.” You tease.

He won’t look at you.

“I really thought that you would leave. I-I wasn’t sure how to feel. I wanted to be happy. More than anything. But the thought of you disappearing and never coming back was..it was terrifying.”

Now his silence makes sense.

You take a step.

“I’m sorry it took me so long.”

He doesn’t get why you’re apologizing. You have nothing to be sorry about. More than anything, he’s happy that he’ll be able to feel your touch right now. See that gentle smile you use to reassure him that he isn’t dreaming. He closes his eyes, pressing his forehead to yours.

“I love you.”

Your smile is much brighter.

“I love you too, Eobard.”

His entire body becomes still. When he pulls back slowly and stares at you, he’s completely stunned. You just keep a brilliant smile.

“I love you.”

You repeat.

He’s ecstatic.

You’re tackled to the bed, both of your laughs filling the room.

~Star Labs~

Iris couldn’t remember the last time she felt this accomplished. More often than not these cases ended badly. Being a part of a hero team was hard when everyone else had a superpower. She’d grown used to being the brains behind the operation. It came with its own battles.

This time everyone was okay.

Godspeed was locked up and you were safe. Life could not get any better.

“I figured you would still be here.” Barry walks from around the corner and Iris sends a smile.

“It’s crazy. So much has happened in such a small space of time. “ Barry nods.

“It is a little crazy. I’m really happy we got (Y/N) back.”

Iris nods.

“Me too.”

They were all sad when they thought you would return home. In a way they understood it was selfish to keep you here, but they couldn’t help it.

“Iris.”

She looks up, adjusting her glasses. She doesn’t expect him to be this close. She means to say something.

“W-What is it?”

She feels as though her glasses will get foggy from the heat that is no doubt steaming from her cheeks. He smiles at the adorable reaction. He takes another step, and when his hand slides across her waist, she feels like her body will combust.

“With all that’s happened I feel like I need to be completely honest about how I feel about you. I know that I joke a lot so it’s hard to take me seriously. But the one thing I never want you to question is how I feel about you. Iris I..I’m in love with you..”

Her heart is pounding. How many times has she had this dream?”

Swallowing her fears, she smiles.

“I-I’m in love with me too. I-I mean you! I’m in love with you!!” She clarifies. Her babblings continue, and he brushes the hair away from her eyes. It finally halts her racing words.

“I’m really glad. I’m sorry it took so long.”

Iris shakes her head, the tears running down her cheeks as she smiles the biggest she ever has.

“You’re just in time.” She claims.

He mirrors that expression, a bit speechless when she grabs his collar and pulls him in from a kiss. He barely processes what’s happening until he feels her push him against a wall. He moans, and she pulls back for a second, discarding her glasses. He swallows at the hungry look in her eyes.

“Gotta marry this woman..”

You have so many questions. Now in the privacy of your home, you can ask them. 

“H-How?” 

“I’m not sure. “ He states. 

“I used the machine a few seconds after you disappeared. I just..couldn’t watch you leave me there. I’m not certain what happened next. I only remember a light and then we were in that building kissing.” 

It’s incredible how it all played out. Even better that he hadn’t waited a few days. He’d run in right after you. 

“You lost your memory but you came right into the lab. You even have a license and everything so you must live somewhere. “ You can’t help but smile at how it all worked out. 

“I guess the universe knew where I needed to be.” 

That’s really the only thing that makes sense at this point. 

“I can’t believe you actually came..just for me..” 

It still all feels surreal. 

“Neither can I.” 

You smack his shoulder, and he takes your hand. His fingers brush against your palm as if he’s checking to see if you’re really there. He looks back at you, and you swallow at the sheer emotion in his eyes. That night will forever be engraved in your mind. 

“I found you (Y/N).” 

You tear up at those words. There was so much uncertainty when you said that to him. Now he’s standing right in front of you and you can’t be happier. You tackle him and he falls right onto the couch. He holds on laughing, even when you both roll onto the floor. 

It's crazy how much has changed.

Jimmy is quick to show you a thumbs up when he sees you the next morning walk in with Eobard. 

It’s pure heaven. Having him close, seeing him here. At the end of the day, you both decided to venture to Eobard’s place. You’re not sure what you’re going to find. He lives in an apartment with a great view. You’re a little jealous when you step in. 

“I guess I have good taste even without memories.”

You explore each room, and Eobard just follows, enjoying the glow that your smile emits. 

“It’s so spacious, figures that you’re loaded. Man the universe is unfair sometimes.” You giggle. You’re peeking into each room and Eobard can’t stop himself from gazing at you appreciatively. He remembers how much he’s tried to resist you at the start. From the moment he touched your hands he felt it. The spark, pull. Now it makes so much sense. 

“Nice shower!” 

You call from the other room. 

He steps inside, watching you mess with the faucets. There’s a bathtub on one side and a regular shower head on the other. You switch off the shower, about to explore some more, but he gently grasps your wrist. 

“Join me.” 

You look a bit confused, then it seems to all make sense. Heat rushes to your cheeks. 

“I-In t-the shower!” 

“Yes.” 

“I-I’m s-sure you can bathe yourself.” 

You tried to make an escape, but he pinned you to the wall. 

“Bathing wasn’t exactly going to be the main agenda.” 

You’re flustered, and he understands why. He remembers you mentioning that you never had a boyfriend. So that night must have been your very first time. It makes him swell with pride. 

You fidget.

“E-Eobard I-I don’t-’ 

“I know.” 

This time his tone is much softer. He takes a step back, interlocking his fingers with your own. He looks so eager and you can’t help but picture it. This is wild, especially for you. You pull back to remove your shirt and he just watches. Every movement. Every article of clothing that hits the ground. When you’re done, you open the small door to the shower, turning it on as the warm droplets hit your body. 

Eobard follows your lead, removing his clothes, stepping in behind you as he closes the door. For a moment you just take him in. You haven’t forgotten anything about that night, but this time around, it’s him. Not a version of Harrison Wells. This is truly Eobard. You reach for him, hands laying on his broad shoulders, running down with the flow of water. Your fingers stop right over his heart, and you place your head against his chest. 

“Thank you..for coming back to me.” 

Eobard knows how much this means to you, and he’s completely certain that this was the right choice. He moves to kiss you, and you’re both a bit startled when he speeds you over to the wall. You stare at him. 

“Y-Your speed..” 

It’s clear that he’s caught off guard as well. Yet, at the moment that doesn’t seem to be something he cares about. He kisses you happily, and your arms wrap around him, reciprocating each tender loving touch. He grabs your thighs, lifting you off the ground. The rushing water makes your bodies a bit slick. 

Or it’s possible that’s something else. 

You’re about to find out. 

When you’re done with your shenanigans, you and Eobard settle on the couch. You’re wearing a pair of his shorts and a baggy t-shirt. His clothes are a bit loose. He presses a kiss to your neck and you giggle. 

“My scent all over your body is the sexist thing in the world.” 

You flush, turning to kiss him fully. Eobard welcomes it. 

“You’re a little possessive aren’t you?” You smile pulling away. 

“It’s natural when you love someone.” He says casually. 

That catches your attention, you just stare at him. 

“You..love me?” 

He takes in the disbelief in your eyes, and he swallows.

“I do love you. More than anything.” 

You weren’t sure you could be happier but it’s clear that you were wrong. At this very moment, you’re the happiest you’ve ever been. You hug him. 

“I-I love you too!” I love you so much!!”
