Cisco was working later into the evening than he had originally planned, and he still had quite the night ahead of him. He sat at his desk in S.T.A.R. Labs, tablet in hand, doing some last-minute calculations on a new prototype suit. He felt a shift in the air and looked up from his work. “Is anybody there?”
Jason had to bite his tongue, selfishly wanting to gripe at the man that his ‘family issues’ couldn’t even compare to the years of estrangement, replacement and nightmares Jason had endured. “To impress a girl?” He asked skeptically, taking a sip of his beer. “That’s not the usual method. I’m not exactly well versed in the dating scene but I thought the idea was flowers and chocolate, not punching bags and training mats.”
“This girl is different, though. I let her train me, and then I make dinner. It’s all great, really.” Cisco beamed. “I’m not all that great with women, in all honesty.” As Cisco thought, he did really know what their relationship was. He made a mental note to talk to her about that. “So shall we patch you up then?” Cisco said, looking at the cuts on the mans face.
“Do you now?” She leaned in once more after he winked. “Lots of men have tried to impress me by taking me out to dinner. Being able to impress me with cooking is something that hasn’t been done yet and I’m all for trying new things.”
“Is that so? Then after your show, if you’re up for it, I can take you back to my place and we can have a glass of wine while I cook for you. Hell, we can even watch a movie if you’re so inclined.” There was a smile on Cisco’s face that just wouldn’t go away and probably wouldn’t for quite some time. “When is opening night? I want to make sure I don’t miss it.” He said with a wink, “I would never want to miss out on such an opportunity to see a beautiful woman perform magic!”
Violet didn’t look convinced, stepping even closer so that she was behind him on her tiptoes resting her chin on Barry’s shoulder.
“Uhm, I think it’s just a break things kind of power. But I guess we’ll see,” Cisco removed the helmet and shook his hair out like a dog before putting the helmet back on. He crossed to a piece of concrete and glanced back at Barry and Violet with a grin plastered across his face. “Watch this!” He did exactly what he did before they got here, but this time focused not only the power, but also the energy within him on the concrete. He squeezed his eyes shut tight and the entire piece of concrete crumbled before him.
Barry smiled as his friend, used his powers, glad he had taken to it so much. “That’s awesome Cisco! Now, has that helped your headaches?” Barry looked down at the monitor, checking to make sure the other’s vitals were going strong.
Cisco jogged back over to the two and wiggled his eyebrows. “Cool, huh?” He took off the helmet and the belt as he hummed a little tune. “It’s so-so right now. I think I just need to rehydrate, eat some real food, and spend some quality time with friends before taking a looooong nap.” Cisco smiled, hoping that his nightmares wouldn’t wake him up again.
Violet: See? You won’t be able to win against me.
Violet: And you’re just as cute and loveable as I am. I just know my skills and you don’t. Be yourself and be proud of it. That’s what women like. Confidence. Even if it’s confidence in yourself being still weird and goofy. Be what you are and own it.
Cisco: I try to own it, but when I do I get creepy and awkward. I’ll work on it, though.
Violet: Please do. Especially about the sex. I think I’m going to be living vicariously through you. 😛
Violet: And yeah obviously. You’re half me. I find people everyday. Don’t worry about it.
Cisco: Okay. Ew. Please don’t live vicariously through my love and/or sex life.
Cisco: You’re so forward and cute and loveable. I’m awkward and weird and creepy.
Violet yelped in surprise at the bang, automatically falling to a crouch and muttering obscenities under her breath standing up and dusting off her butt, moving closer to Barry so she wouldn’t freak out when Cisco did it again.
Barry grinned as the plastic exploded, raising his fist in the air triumphantly. “That’s amazing man!!! You did it!!” It really was cool to watch his friend do something like that with his brain, though he looked at Violet when she shifted closer. “It’s alright, he’s got this.” Looking back at Cisco, he asked. “Can you lift stuff or is it a break things apart power?”
Violet didn’t look convinced, stepping even closer so that she was behind him on her tiptoes resting her chin on Barry’s shoulder.
“Uhm, I think it’s just a break things kind of power. But I guess we’ll see,” Cisco removed the helmet and shook his hair out like a dog before putting the helmet back on. He crossed to a piece of concrete and glanced back at Barry and Violet with a grin plastered across his face. “Watch this!” He did exactly what he did before they got here, but this time focused not only the power, but also the energy within him on the concrete. He squeezed his eyes shut tight and the entire piece of concrete crumbled before him.
Violet: I CONTROLLED MYSELF, SIR. I AM CERTAINLY GLAD THAT I DID NOT HAVE A PENIS BECAUSE THAT THING WOULD HAVE BEEN POKING HIM ALL OVER THE PLACE AND CUDDLING WOULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY AWKWARD. BUT NO WE DIDN’T ACTUALLY HAVE SEX. I mean… I’m pretty sure he’s a virgin… And like. I don’t really remember how that whole thing… went? Um. But. I get the sense that he’s the whole ‘wait for love’ type of dude. Which is both infuriating and adorably genuine and cute thing ever. Cus i’d hit that so hard, dude. I mean. It’s just the whole package. Not that I saw his package. He changed at superspeed. But. In the figurative sense he’s the whole package. He’s smart, he’s funny, he’s cute, he’s pretty, he’s a good kisser, he’s a superhero, I can make him run errands for me and it would get done in half the time. That sort of thing. I swear though. 10/10 would bang. But I think I’ll try the be a prude because it’s genuine and romantic and cute thing, y’know? Oliver gave me THE TALK and said that meaningless sex is horrible compared to sex with love. Though. I got /needs/ y’know? How long does love take? Can I get an email when it’s done cooking?
Violet: Whoops just realized I was talking to my brother about having sexual intercourse with his best friend.
Violet: Oh well.
Violet: His lips are like soft and a little fluffy cus they’re just a little plump in some places so it’s like a pillow. Also he has excellent technique. No extraneous spittle. That’s important. Easily Top 5 of worst kissing technique. Hm. Whatelse. OH. he was super super warm. It was like kissing a space heater. ALSO sometimes like random body parts would get sort of blurry for like a second. But I think that was just me being blinded by cuteness. It’s a real thing.
Cisco: I wish I could erase what I just read from my memory. Next time I’m with someone, I’ll be sure to remember to text you every. single. detail. and all the thoughts that are going through my head as I type them.
Cisco: Speaking of being with someone, do you think I’ll find someone? Sorry. Super sappy.
