Re: [Capital: Gwen & Flash]
"For you?" Flash was surprised, but not judgmental or disappointed about it. If Gwen had been a super hero this whole time, maybe a lot of shit that happened fucking wouldn't have. "Yeah, nothing makes me feel better than being out in the suit." He admitted, but it wasn't a secret. Everyone knew that Reaper was a part of Flash now and he just liked it better when he got to be part of a whole instead of a half on his own. But, it was more than that, too. The feeling of catapulting full speed over skyscrapers wasn't something normies could understand. "You'll model it for me sometime?" He asked with a lopsided grin.
He kept grinning when she called him cute and then fist pumped. "Two for one! Two for one!" Fist pumping in time with his chant. And man, even if they didn't have an Applebee's down there, he thought a little drinking wouldn't hurt make things less awkward.
Cause it was, he knew that. Every couple minutes he got this reminder in the back of his head about how she wanted to break up with him or she thought he wanted to break up with her. Some shit like that. And, he didn't know how to fix that. Honestly, he wished they hadn't started "dating" until she was free of the League, but how was he supposed to know how all that shit went down.
Gwen reached for his hand, right when he started sinking into "what if's" and he took it gladly. She pulled him and it felt like they were off on an adventure, like with the headphones or some shit like that. He laughed when she stopped in front of the bracelets, cause they weren't her style at all and he shook his head like nah girl not today. Soon, they were in what could be called a food court and Flash took in a deep breath.
"This smells like the city." Cause even if they went to a milktoast school, Flash was from the poor neighborhoods and he was one of the only white boys there. Gwen wanted drinks, so Flash went up to a vendor and ordered some beer from Mexico because it seemed like the most normal thing they had there. The vendor popped the tops off for both of them, Flash handed him money and stuffed more into the tip jar before handing Gwen her beer.
"You aren't going to like how this shit tastes." He grinned at her and took a swig.
