Ok I can explain everything. I know I haven't updated this fic in FOREVER but I've since started school so I don't have a lot of time for fanfic writing. Anyhoo, I am finally back!

"Barry are you coming?" Iris shouted up the stairs.

"Yup I'll be right down." Barry replied.

The cast of Romeo and Juliet had arranged a cast party the week before the opening night of the show.

Barry ran down the stairs and smiled at Iris.

"You look great." He told her. She was wearing a long sleeved violet dress.

Iris smiled back. "You don't look too bad yourself. Let's go."

Iris linked her arm with Barry's and the headed out the door.

"Don't stay out too late." Joe reminded them.

"We won't." The two answered in unison.

They hopped in the car, with Barry driving, and headed to the party which was at the house of the actress' playing Juliet's mother. They could hear the loud music from outside that seemed to make the house shake and Iris saw the skeptical look on Barry's face.

"Come on Bear, it'll be fun." She insisted.

"Ok." Barry responded. "Let's go."

They walked into the party and Iris went to chat to some of her friends who were there. Barry stood in places, feeling rather awkward. He wasn't too excited about going to the party, but leave it to Iris West to get him out of his comfort zone."

"Hey Allen!" He heard a voice shout. He couldn't tell who it was in the crowd of people.

"Umm...hi." Barry replied.

Iris walked back over to him.

"Sorry about that Bear, I had a question about some English homework. Wanna go get something to drink?" She asked.

:"Ok." He said. "Non-alcoholic right?"

"If that's what you want." Iris told him with a giggle.

The walked over to a cooler full of various drink and grabbed two cans of root beer.

"Hey Iris." Barry said.

He realized that the music had gotten so loud that it was completely drowning him out so he tapped her on the shoulder.

"Yeah?" Iris shouted, trying to communicate.

Barry gestured towards the door the backyard of the house, signaling that he wanted go outside to talk. She nodded and they put their drinks down on the table and went out.

"I've need to ask you something. It's been bugging me." Barry began.

"What is it?" Iris asked.

"Well the other day at rehearsals, you said you wanted to tell me something but you didn't get the chance." He told her.

"Oh..." She responded.

"So." Barry questioned. "What is it?"

Iris stopped in her tracks. This was the last thing she was expecting but she knew she had to be honest with him.

"Remember when we kissed? Well, ever since then I've been feeling weird, and not a bad weird but a really good weird. I wasn't sure what it was but I think I finally figured it out." Iris said.

"And..." Barry asked, eager for her to continue.

"Ever since we kissed I've been thinking a lot about you Barry. I know that it might seem strange considering we grew up together and even lived in the same house together but I never saw us as siblings, I saw us as friends, and know I think I might want us to be something even more than that." Iris confessed

"Iris." Barry replied stunned. "Are you saying what I think you're saying?"

"Yes." She said. "I love you Barry Allen."

The smile on Barry's face was so huge it was almost embarrassing.

"I love you too Iris. I always have." Barry admitted.

Iris smiled back at him but Barry could sense that she was nervous and looked like she was about to head back inside.

"Iris." Barry said.

"Yeah?" She answered.

"There's one thing I've been meaning to perfect for opening night." He told her.

Barry wrapped his arms around Iris and the two kissed. The were seemingly oblivious to the world around them, forgetting about the party inside and when they had stopped kissing the looked over and realized that most of the party-goers were staring at them through the glass doors but neither of them felt any shame or embarrassment. Well, Barry did get a little red when he heard one of the guys shout "You go Allen!"

Iris put her hand on his cheek. "I think you've got that down, Barry."

She winked at him and the two went back inside and enjoyed the rest of the party.

Well that was eventful. If that wasn't enough Westallen action for you, you should head over to my tumblr (trashcanflashfan) because I'm participating in a Westallen Week and it should be fun!
