When you woke up that Wednesday morning you knew something was off. You weren't feeling quite yourself. Yet, you decided to go to work at STAR Labs. On your way there you were coughing from time to time and shivering but you were in the middle of the winter so you guessed you were just cold.

"Morning guys" you greeted everyone as you walked into the cortex.

"Wow, what happened?" Cisco asked the moment he saw you.

"Nothing, why?" You replied sitting on a chair.

"You look awful" he pointed out.

"Thank you?" You chuckled. "I think I might be catching a cold, but don't worry, it will be over in a couple of days" you shrugged it off as you turned on the laptops.

Your work at the labs was your passion. You were a robotic engineer hired by Harrison Wells. Of course, that was before the particle accelerator exploded and created all those metahumans, before you al found out Wells wasn't exactly Wells and...basically, before life turned complicated for everyone.

When the accelerator exploded those who didn't die just left the place. All except Cisco, Caitlin and you. They were like a family to you, they took you in the moment you put a feet into the facility just a few days after arriving all alone to Central City. You were from San Francisco but working for Harrison Wells was something you couldn't say no to, so there you were. Four years later.

"Sorry I'm late, I got caught in traffic" Caitlin said walking into the cortex with a cup of coffee from Jitters on her hand. "Wow, (Y/N), are you ok?" She asked when she saw your face, causing Cisco's laugh.

"C'mon! Do I look that bad?" You asked frowning.

"I think you should go home and rest" was Caitlin reply.

"It's just a cold, I'm sure" you sighed.

But it wasn't. By the middle of the day you have been told to go home by everyone who came to the labs: Wells, Jesse, Cisco, Caitlin...everyone. It was frustrating. Even Barry sent you a text from Star City telling you to go home. Of course you didn't listen to them since you didn't feel that bad, but when it was already dark outside you forced yourself to go home after Caitlin told you had fever.

When you woke up the next day, you had to call Caitlin to tell her you wouldn't be going to work today. You felt even worse than the day before.

"Don't worry, we have everything covered here, I promise" she assured you before hanging up.

Still you felt bad for staying at home. Not just because you wouldn't be able to help if something came up, but also because today Barry would be coming back from Star City after five days and you wouldn't see him after how much you had missed him. That wasn't strange since you had spent every single day with him since the moment he came in still in a coma. But it wasn't until a few months ago that you had the courage to tell how you felt about him, just to find out he felt the same way all along.

Ever since, you were dating, which had turned out to be the biggest adventure of your life. He was fun, smart, sweet and loving, but he was also so protective and stubborn that it got to your nerves. You understood he was The Flash, a hero, but he didn't understand you could make your own choices. Still, you loved him like you never loved anyone before and you couldn't wait to see him again.

By noon you finally got a text from him saying he was back at STAR labs:

Back at the labs, how are you feeling? – Barry

You smiled a little at the text and sighing, wishing you had been there to hug him and kiss him, ignoring Cisco's complains.

Feverish and missing you L - (Y/N)

I missed you too. I'll go visit asap. Love you, xx – Barry

You smiled even more when you read he would visit. You imagined he would go eventually but sometimes he was too busy to do it, so you were so happy to know you would be seeing him that day after all. Putting your phone down, you covered yourself up and sighed looking up at the ceiling. You coughed a little and closed your eyes, falling asleep almost immediately.

A couple of hours later you were woken up by the sound of your door closing. You rolled around in bed trying to get your phone but it was too far so you just gave up and hide your head under the covers.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you" a very familiar voice said.

Immediately, you popped your head out and there he was. Barry Allen was standing at the end of your bed with a bag on his hand and a smile on his face. A smile that you returned but soon you were back under the covers.

"Go away! I look awful!" You exclaimed remembering how you must be looking like at the moment.

His laugh echoed the room and soon you felt the bed sinking by your side, letting you know he was just there, so you stuck your head back out.

"I haven't seen my girlfriend in five days, I think she looks gorgeous no matter what" he said.

"You really know what a girl wants to hear, Allen" you smiled. He chuckled while you sat up on the bed and pulled your hair into a bun. Despite what he said, you knew your aspect wasn't the best. When you were done, you looked at him just to see that he had been staring the whole time which made you blush.

"I missed you" you said, making him smile.

"I missed you too" he replied before leaning in and wrapping his arms around you in a tight hug. "I'm all sweaty" you chuckled.

"I don't care" he smiled into your neck as he squeezed you. "How many times have you hug me and kiss me after being running around the city for hours?" He added.

"True" you smiled before closing your eyes.

You had missed him so much, his hugs, his smell, his embrace. All of him. He pulled away and placed a strand of hair behind your ear before leaning towards your lips but you placed a hand over his mouth, earning a confused look from him.

"I'm sick!" You explained. He took your hand off his mouth and kissed it softly.

"Then it's a good thing I can't get sick, right?" He smirked. You narrowed your eyes at him but didn't have time for a comeback before he kissed you.

If you thought you missed him was because you hadn't kissed him yet. Finally you felt like home again, like you were complete when his lips met yours.

"It's a really good thing" you smiled when you pulled away. "How was Star City?" You asked with a frown.

"Complicated" he sighed. "They were all devastated after...Laurel" he said as he played with your hand. "She was amazing" he added.

"I know...I'm sorry" you whispered.

You never had the chance to meet Laurel Lance, aka the Black Canary, but you had heard Cisco and Barry talk about her and you had an idea about the amazing woman she was and how much she had done to protect Star City along with Oliver and the Team Arrow.

"Anyway, I brought something" Barry said looking up at you, smiling again. "But you can't tell Caitlin or she would kill me"

"What is it?" You asked narrowing your eyes.

He smiled and took the plastic bag he had placed down on the floor. First, he took out some water and chicken soup. You raised an eyebrow: why would Caitlin kill him for that? Then he took out a chocolate ice-cream pack.

"Oh god...is it with cookies?" You asked with your eyes wide opened.

"My girl deserves the best" he winked.

"Oh my, I love you so much!" You exclaimed taking the ice-cream from his hands. "Oh, I need a sp-" before you could finish the sentence, Barry was back from the kitchen with a spoon. "I'll never get used to that" you laughed. Immediately you started eating it. "You want some?" You finally asked.

"I thought you'd never ask" he said taking a spoon out of his pocket and laying down next to you, sinking the spoon into the ice-cream.

Being sick wasn't so bad if it was like this.
