The Not-so-abandoned Warehouse: Wednesday after Classes
With classes over for the week, Barry was up to his neck in experiments. Mostly in an effort to distract himself. This time involving a 10 foot tall kumquat.
However he hadn't forgotten about the date he had made with Elsa. Which of course meant there was a good bit of chocolate about, popcorn and a pseudo-documentary about sharks on one of the ( Read more... )

"And you're sure these ones don't rain down from above, Barry?"
Their shark-related entertainment had a track record of that.

Sharknado was cursed. Elsa was going to veto it. Forever.
"This one will be just fine. Should be just fine? I think it might be fine."

"We can do something else if you want," Barry offered quickly. "I mean it doesn't have to be sharks. It could be anything."

"Sharks are fine!" And Elsa wasn't thinking about that table! Or that counter! OR THAT WALL. "I mean, they can't all be about man-eating weather, right? Maybe this one will prove to be less ridiculous?"

As bad a choice of using that table for-
"Sharks it is then!" Barry declared. "Whatever her highness wants she gets."
And again with a bad word choice

"Sharks, then," Elsa said, with a firm nod and some decisiveness. "Sharks, and maybe more of that chocolate. Would you mind- Or, maybe I should get my own..."
Her highness was having minor technical difficulties when it came to second guessing what would and wouldn't end with her freaking out and encasing half of the warehouse in ice, today.

Referring to the chocolate.
"I have more if you want it."
Again referring to the chocolate. But somehow with the way Barry was saying it, it came out wrong. And he knew it.
"I'm... I'm just going to get the movie started."

Elsa's toes were curling, here. And was it warm in the warehouse? She was an ice princess who was uncomfortably warm at the moment. Maybe instead of grabbing chocolate, she'd grab--
Something to drink. Elsa would be grabbing something to drink and sitting down again with a whump because flopping around wasn't becoming of a princess in the least and--
Barry smelled nice today.
"So. Sharks."
Yeah, they'd already covered that part.

And then the monitor decided that there were better things to play for a date type situation. Like a certain movie starring Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh where the scene in particular involved romantic kissing with sweeping romantic music.
"What the fuck?"
He immediately started stabbing at the remote to get it back to the sharks.

"That isn't sharks."
Just in case Barry had been confused at some point? There were some very pretty people doing some very pretty kissing, though, and that was nice? Nice? Was that the right word?
She was going to take a mouthful from her drink now.
....
"It still isn't sharks."

And lo. There were sharks.
Barry sighed in relief and went to sit down next to Elsa. "There. Fucking sharks," he said just as the monitor flipped over to porn.
"Oh, fuck me."

SOME WERE LESS APPROPRIATE THAN USUAL IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, OKAY?

And the monitor flipped again. See? Sharks!
Oh. Wait. It was those sharks.
"Well at least they're not humping each other."
Reply
While she, you know, breathed for a moment.
"When you said 'swallowing people whole,' Barry..."
Reply
"Wait. What do you know know about swallowing people whole?" he teased.
Only for the mental image of Elsa...
Nope. Time to look at the sharks again.
And of course the monitor had flipped back to porn again.
"Fuck me!"
Words, Barry. Words.
"Shit! I'm just going to turn this off."
Yes that seemed to be the best idea.
