KID FLASH

by

It’s nice to have a break after the hectic days.

Now that you’re not under the influence of some weird supercharge of energy, you feel more at ease letting Harrison into your place. The second he sees you he smiles.

“Am I in danger of getting attacked?”

You flush.

“Please don’t tease me.”

He laughs and you close the door as you both drift to the living room to take a seat.

“If you keep saving my lab I may have to raise your paycheck.”

You smile as you relax against the couch.

“I’m just glad it all worked out. I swear having a quiet day is impossible in any universe.”

“You’re not wrong.” He agrees.

As the quiet settles you run through just how crazy your life has been. How far you’ve come. How much has changed. It felt like just yesterday you were jumping through a breach, looking for an escape, a purpose. You really hadn’t thought you’d make it this far.

Now you’re actually making a difference. Inventing tech, making friends, having a relationship. These weren’t things you thought you would accomplish. The months that you’ve been with Harrison have been the most challenging and rewarding. Harrison had suffered himself, but still found a way to extend his care, love. He’s been your saving grace, an angel in many ways.

Maybe that’s why when you picture him sometimes, you can almost imagine a halo.

He saved you in every sense of the word. He’d done it all selflessly and now you have a reason to live.

Avery, Evan.. and him.

You have a life again, one you’re very fortunate for.

Looking down at your lap, you fiddle with your fingers.

“Harrison.”

He turns, giving you his undivided attention.

“I know I’ve never said this but I..”

You swallow, finally looking up.

“I love you Harrison.”

He looks shocked at the confession and a part of you wants to bolt. Those words are never easy to say, more so for you. But it’s how you feel, so you see no reason not to be honest, especially with all that he’s done for you.

“I just thought you’d like to know.” You mumble.

You’re still shifting in your seat and when he moves closer and places his hand over yours, you finally look up. You’re a bit surprised, his gaze looks a bit teary.

“A-Are you crying?”

“No, my eyes are just sweating.”

You can’t help it, you giggle. He’s so adorably foolish. When he cups your cheeks, he presses his forehead against your own softly and you almost melt.

“I love you too, (Y/N).”

You can’t help but smile.

“That’s lucky.”

He laughs, pulling back to place a kiss on your cheek. You welcome it, his tenderness, warmth, love. He was always there, even before you realized your feelings or he discovered his own. In some crazy way it feels like you both found each other. Above all else, you’re grateful.

You kiss him, much like you’d done before, many more times. It’s meant to be fleeting, but when you pull back for a breath, you can’t help but want more. So you lean in again, and he happily responds. Two..three soft kisses and he’s lowering you to the couch.

Your breathing has become a bit uneven, hands begging to feel him, pull him closer. He obliges, it’s hard not to. His hands part your thighs and your hands grip at his shoulder, desperate. At some point he’s tossed his glasses and your fingers easily slide into his hair. You give a soft tug and he hums, still trying to taste everything he can. He’s so close, there’s practically no space but you still want more, crave more.

You’re surrounded by his embrace and it’s heaven.

He is your home, your heaven.
