When you insisted on a movie night, you hadnât considered that the night would have ended with Harrison Wellsâyour manager, employer, bossâ letting you fall asleep with your arm looped in his and your cheek on his shoulder.
Let me reverse this timeline a little bitâŠ
ââDoc, lets be real,â you cut in Harrisonâs hesitant refusal to go to your house with the rest of Team Flash. âAn awesome night of watching movies with the next smartest mindsâyours naturally being the firstâin the city certainly beats your alternative. Besides, itâs not like we do this frequently, so you kind of have to take this oppourtunity to be with us!â
Harrison shook his head and chuckled at your spiel, finding not enough strength to turn you down again. âWellâŠâ
From behind him, Barry jumped around in silent celebration. Cisco had bet him five dollars Wells would not agree.
The drive to your house made you anxious: nervous excitement in your stomach at the fact that youâd successfully gotten your unshakable boss to agree to a meeting outside of work with now work related things going on in your private residence, without a thought of work. Cisco excitedly asked you how long you had your âfancy ass houseâ and why you kept it a secret for so long, Caitlyn smacking his arm halfway through.
âWhat Cisco means to say⊠is why you havenât had us over sooner?â Caitlyn says politely, making Barry laugh as he swings an arm around your shoulder.
You shrug. âI guess I never really thought people would want to hang out with me. Is that Wellsâs car? Barry can you help me get him up the steps?â When Barry nods, you unlock and push open the door for Cait and Cisco. âFeel free to explore,â you said, seeing Ciscoâs eyes widen.
Barry chuckles as Cisco and Caitlyn chatter excited as you go out to Wellsâs car. âItâs really nice that youâre doing this. Itâs good to be around everyone when itâs notâŠâ Barry trails off, searching.
âA dire situation?â You offer.
Nodding, Barry smiles. âA dire situation.â
âHey Doc,â you greet him as he opens the passenger seat.
He nods his greeting. âWheelchairâs in the trunk.â Barry retrieves the mobile chair, places the Doctor in it, and wheels it up to your house in the blink of an eye. You laugh and raise a hand in greeting to the awed driver.
âThank you for having us,â Wells tells you, turning to see everything in your house. âTruly kind of you.â
You nod, a smile on your face. âI wouldnât ask if I didnât want you here.â Harrisonâs eyes fall on yours suddenly. An unspoken depth in his eyes trap you, holding you and examining your atoms at their barest form and holding your heart in his hands. His head tilts slightly and his lips quirk. He knows you struggle with eye contact yet he doesnât let you look away with all that emotion in his eyes.
âSo! What movie are we watching?â Cisco asks. âObviously Iâd like some Sci-Fi to narrate and correct any mistakes made in the storyline, but I could also go for a Rom Com or unknown indie film. Iâve stalked your letterboxd enough to know you have a good taste in movies!â
You turn your head to see Cisco and feel the weight of Harrisonâs gaze on you. Swallowing, you move to follow him to your massive living area. âWhat does everyone want to watch? Iâm down for whatever.â
âThe Notebook,â Caitlyn says solemnly at the same time Barry says ânothing sadâ. Caitlynâs face falls. âI never got to see it in theaters and this is the next biggest screen Iâve ever seenâŠâ
âYou can come and watch it on here another day if you want,â you offer. âDoc? What do you want?â
âIâm partial to almost anything. Choose away, y/n.â
You sigh. âI donât like picking.â
Half an hour later, you finally choose a science fiction movie that appeals to everyone and order seventeen pizzas to be delivered within the hour. After coming back in from the kitchen after ordering, you see Harrisonâs back, sitting quietly in his chair when everyone else was splayed on your couch.
âDo you want to sit on the couch?â You murmur quietly to Wells.
He looks up to you, watching him from your spot perched on the couch, waiting for him to say yes. âItâs⊠no issue here.â
Your eyebrows furrow. âAre you sure?â
âDo you want me to sit by you?â
Another moment. You were nodding, finding your anxiety resurface as Wells unlocked his wheels and scooted towards you. Slowly, quietly, he transferred himself to the spot beside you, a solid foot of space between you.
He eased his shoes off and placed them on his chair for later and you felt a swell of emotion in your chest. Wells making himself more comfortable in your space was a reward you didnât know what you did to earn.
A comfortable silence filled the room except for when Cisco guffawed loudly at stupid jokes or when Caitlyn giggled at something ironic happening to the main character or when Barry inevitably spoke up about the scientific observation of evidence being non-lifelike. You found yourself listening to Harrisonâs exhaling laughter at perfectly timed puns and then realized you werenât actually watching the movie.
When the doorbell rang, you let the movie play as you headed toward the door to retrieve the goods. âBarry!â You called from the kitchen. âCome get your fifteen pizzas!â
In the blink of an eye, you had two pizzas in your hand, a couple paper plates, and napkins in your arms in the middle of the living room. You chuckled as Barry paused so you could get everyone their food.
When you settled back down, you found yourself a little closer to Harrison than earlier. You hadnât moved, so that must mean⊠he moved. Closer. To you. You chose not to read into it.
âIs there a sequel? Iâll check,â Cisco asked as soon as the last scene started to fade to black. You chortled, standing up to retrieve your favorite chunky-knit blanket from the blanket rack leaning against the wall.
âCan I also have a blanket?â Caitlyn spoke cautiously. âPreferably a thinner one?â
You grabbed your thinnest blanket and placed the fabric in Caitlynâs lap. She gave you a thankful smile. You saw her toss the long fabric across Barry and Ciscoâs lap, worrying over them like the lovely person she is.
âDid youââ you began to ask Harrison.
âNo, thank you. Iâm okay right now,â he said.
There was a sequel to the movie that Cisco had pleaded to watch. After reaching a common consensus, you played the second movie with the next movie being a happy ending romantic movie (courtesy of Caitlyn⊠and a little Barry.).
Your eyes began to feel heavy about quarter of the way into the movie, the cold atmosphere you thrived in assisting in making you drowsy.
The dim lights gave Harrison the chance to slip closer to you as you fell further asleep. His arm was touching your own through your blanket, head resting between his shoulder and the back of your couch.
Harrison viewed this as an experiment: how much physical contact could he establish with you before you woke up and moved away? After a solid fifteen minutes passed, he pulled the blanket from your arm and pulled it around him so you were both covered. When he did that, you heaved a sigh and unconciously readjusted your head so that it was resting entirely against his shoulder. The warmth in his chest was satisfaction at reaching a new milestone in his experiment, not happiness at you being comfortable around him in your barest state: sleep.
After adjusting his glasses, Harrison reached his arm under the blanket. He watched you from the corner of his eye and discovered you were a heat seeking vessel: leaning closely against him and bringing the blanket closer to you. Eventually, you even wrapped your arm around Harrisonâs, bringing it close to your chest in resemblance of a child holding their favorite stuffed animal to ease them to sleep. Harrison had it bad.
âSleep well,â Harrison murmured against your head, resting his head against your own.
You woke up to a new movie, a comedy, being played on your T.V. Swallowing, your eyes blinked sleepily as you tried to understand why you were pleasantly warm and smelling a very intoxicating cologne. Tight knitted black shoulders led to a familiar face and loose curls. âHello again,â murmured an amused voice. Your lips flattened against your teeth in an embarrassed grimace. You looked down at where you were leaning almost entirely into him (at this point⊠you may as well have been sitting on his lap⊠[as if you would complain about that. Ha!]) and became acutely aware of his unfamiliarly warm elbow linked with your own under the blanket. From an outsiderâs perspective it would undoubtedly be considered cuddling.
âIâm so sorry,â you rasped sleepily, leaning back to stretch and find solace from Wellsâs soft eyes. Your arm muscles tightened in rigor as they reached behind your head and your legs spasmed as you stretched them out in front of you. Sparing a glance at the trio on the other side of the couch, you took in Barryâs sleeping form and Caitlynâs eyesâhooded witg exhaustionâand chuckled at the two tired adults compared to Cisco watching the screen intently. You sigh after checking your watch and say âI didnât realize it was this late.â
Eobard was thankful when you finally met his gaze again, imploring silently to see those glittering glimpses to your emotion and soul- your humanity. âI selfishly enjoyed the closeness. You donât need to apologize for falling asleep,â he admits.
Your eyebrows knit at his words. âThatâs something I can overthink tomorrow,â you say finally, a yawn sending your head to hit the back of the couch. Sighing againâthis time from contentmentâyour head conciously falls to Harrisonâs shoulder.
