You hovered over the front desk at S.T.A.R. Labs, watching as Cisco scanned through several websites. Suddenly, Cisco stopped what he was doing and turned around to you.

"Look Y/N, I don't mean to be rude, but can you go somewhere else while I do this, you're stressing me out just standing there." He said. You nodded.

"Sorry..." You mumbled before walking away to go find H.R. After much searching, you soon entered one of the rooms and saw him sitting at the table, typing away on his laptop. You knocked on the door and peered in.

"Hey babe, can I come in?" You asked. H.R. jumped at the sound of your voice and quickly slammed his computer shut. He spun around in his chair and looked at you, smiling. You raised an eyebrow as you entered the room and sat next to him.

"So...Why'd you close your laptop so fast?" You asked. H.R. cleared his throat.

"No reason really, I was just writing and didn't want to be distracted from my beautiful girlfriend." He said. You continued to eye him suspiciously.

"Uh-huh...So what were you writing?" You asked.

"A story." He replied bluntly.

"Yeah, but what's the story about?" You pushed.

"A person..." He said unsure. You looked at him, head cocked to the side.

"I won't judge, just give me some sort of information on it." You said. H.R. looked at you, still unsure of what to do. You made a pouty face.

"Babe, please?" H.R. looked back at you and let out a sigh. "Alright fine, but only the plot." He replied. You clasped your hands together and leaned over to give him a quick peck on the lips.

"So it's really about a person who has a normal everyday life, until they meet a certain someone who changes their world." H.R. said, giving few details.

"So like a romance novel?" You asked.

"Yeah. I guess so." He said. You smiled.

"Well, I for one can not wait to read it." You said happily. "How far are you?" You asked.

H.R. contemplated for a moment and then responded. "I'm actually almost finished, I have a few chapters left." He said. You looked at him impressed.

"Do you need any help with anything?" You asked. H.R. smiled and nodded. He grabbed the laptop off the table and sat it in his lap so that you couldn't see the screen.

"I need a synonym for beautiful." You thought about it for a moment.

"What about attractive?" You asked. H.R. nodded and began typing. For the next half an hour, you helped H.R. fill the holes in his writing, soon the book was finished.

"So can I read it now?" You asked excitedly. H.R. chuckled, but shook his head.

"Sorry Y/N, I have to still edit it and make the cover, you'll have to wait."

"Awe man...Okay, but when can I read it?" You asked. H.R. looked up at you and smiled. He tapped your nose.

"How about I get it to you on Friday night? You can read it while I'm here helping out Team Flash." He said. You nodded while smiling. You then stuck out your pinky.

"Promise?" You asked.

"Promise." He said, locking his pinky with yours.

----Time Skip----

The week drug on and you desperately tried to make it through each day until you finally reached Friday. It was already 7 o'clock which meant H.R. most likely already dropped the book off at your place.

You quickly clocked out of work and raced out to your car, making it home in the next fifteen minutes. You climbed the stairs to your apartment and saw the book hanging in a little white bag on the hook on your door. You pulled the book off your door and entered the house, dropping all of your things and moving into the living room where you crashed on the couch.

You pulled the book out of the bag and examined the cute cover which was titled, "In a year." You smiled at the catchy title and flipped through to the first page, where you began reading.

Love. A simple word really, but it has a much deeper meaning than "like-liking" someone as many of us say. Love is security, knowing you have someone to journey through life together with. Love is "growing together" and "accepting each other's flaws." When we're in love, we fall, we fall hard for the other person, we want to be with them every minute of the day, stay up all night just talking, and being one another's rock. Falling in love might seem crazy or scary to some people, but you get passed that stage soon enough, how do I know? Because I got passed that stage. Before, I was scared that no one could love me or take the time to love me, then I met my best friend, the person I'm madly in love with, Y/N Y/LN, the one who fell in love with my jokes and puns, who put up with all of my nonsense, and most importantly who cared enough to stick around for the ride of being my significant other.

You closed the book carefully and smiled to yourself, taking in what you just read. You bit your lip and opened the book back up, reading on. You read non-stop, only getting up to get food or a drink, even then carrying the book with you, reading as you walked. You read each of the chapters that reminisced your's and your boyfriend's life together. You smiled, you laughed, hell, the book even made you cry. Soon you were on the last page of the book.

Y/N, I can't ever imagine a life without you. I stayed here on Earth one just for you because I knew if I left before we became something, you and I would have only been a forgotten concept. I stayed here because I love you, every part of you. I love the smiles you put on my face, the way you make me think of you even when we're both somewhere different, even the sarcastic comments you make on a daily basis. When I first got to know you, every love song soon became about you. You messed with my head and made me see another side of this world. You followed me into my crazy life and took part in it as well, accepting the life I lived as if it were normal. Y/N, I can't promise you things will never go south given the life we live, but I can promise you that you will never have to go through anything alone, I'll always be your rock to lean on. In a year, the two of us have already come so far and I like to think we can get even farther, so what do you say Y/N, will you marry me?

You read the last line, your heart stopping for a brief moment. You held your breath as you turned to the next page and saw words written at the top of the book's inside cover.

Just so I wouldn't lose the ring, I put it inside the book, right underneath this writing there's a little bag with the ring.

You opened the little bag and pulled out the ring, smiling widely as you did so. You slipped the ring on your finger and took a picture of it with your phone. You then sent the picture to H.R, who called the next minute.

"Y/N! I'm so happy you said yes!" He shouted excitedly. You laughed.

"Thank you babe, this was the best book I've ever read." You said.

"I'm glad you liked it, I wasn't sure if it was too over the top."

"No, I thought it was cute, I loved it." You said.

"I'm glad, so do you want to celebrate?" He asked.

"Sure, where at?" You asked.

"Well we could just get some dinner together and then watch a movie at home." He suggested.

"That's sounds great, I'll get ready, text me when you get here." You said and hung up, jumping off the couch, the book still in your hand. You walked over to your bookshelf and reached up to the top shelf where your favorite books sat, making room for the one in your hand.

"Perfect." You mumbled.
