Imagine Ralph Dibny getting tongue-tied just thinking about you.
It had been about three days since Ralph Dibny realized that he was completely and totally in love with you and that this wasn’t just about attraction - though you were a very attractive person, he had to admit that. But damn if he could tell you, because every time that he tried to speak to you outside of Team Flash things, he just ended up getting tongue tied - once literally because of his powers.
“I’m - uhh - I’m going to get some burgers, I’m starved, do you maybe, I don’t know, wanna come with me?” Ralph was practicing asking in the mirror, groaning as it came out sounding so stupid. He cleared his throat and tried again.
“Hey, y/n, do you like burgers? Cause I have the you burger for -” He groaned again, and hit his head against the wall. Even just talking to the idea of you was so hard! “Okay, okay - burgers, you, me, making a mess with ketchup and mustard-”
“God-dang it,” He said, cutting himself off.
“I don’t know about the mess part, but burgers are great,” You said from the doorway, making his head turn quickly towards you, near fast enough to snap his spine. He turned as red as Barry’s suit. “Sorry, I heard my name, thought you might have been talking to me.”
“Maybe I was,” He said, trying to act suave and walk towards you, though his tongue felt like it was glued to the top of his mouth. He suddenly realized that his tongue was never actually comfortable in his mouth, what’s with that. “Do you - er - burgers?”
“Big Belly Burger?” You offered. “I’m starving.”
