Iris West groaned as she slowly return to consciousness, already craving coffee when suddenly she frowned in confusion. She was spooning her fiancé Caitlin Snow as usual, but she had a super weird case of déjà vu were at the same time it felt like she was being spooned by her former fiancé Barry Allen.
Then last night came rushing back, Iris quickly opening her eyes to check it wasn't some kind of amazing dream, and then smiling widely as she found her arms wrapped around Caitlin and Barry's arms wrapped around her. The three of them were all on their sides and spooning each other, and it was absolutely perfect. Definitely something Iris wanted to become a regular thing.
For that she was going to have to be very careful. They'd all take an important first step last night, but they were still a long way off from where she wanted them to be. Then again, where was that? Married? Iris desperately didn't want to choose between them, but marriages, or even relationships, were notoriously hard with just one person.
Was it just too much to believe three people could make it work? And with they even be allowed to get married? Would their friends and family accept this? Would anyone? Most of all, was she being selfish and forcing Caitlin and/or Barry into something they didn't want? All these doubts echoed through her mind for a few long minutes, but she quickly pushed away as she sensed her lovers beginning to stir.
"Hey babe." Iris murmured softly to Caitlin, gently kissing her girl's shoulder, before looking over her shoulder to address a bleary eyed Barry, without hesitation repeating, "Hey babe."
"Hey." Barry murmured sheepishly.
"Hey." Caitlin said at more or less the same time, and then after a brief pause asked, "So, what now?"
After taking a deep calming breath Iris sat up and turned to her lovers, gently taking one of their hands in each of hers before telling them, "That's up to you. Both of you. Barry, I never stop loving you, and I never will. But Caitlin... you've been the only truly good thing in my life since Barry disappeared. I love you just as much as I love him. And, maybe it's selfish, but I can't choose between you. I want you both, and I think we can be happy together. All of us. The question is, are you still up for that?"
There was a brief pause and then Caitlin softly said, "We should probably take some time. You know, to think about it?"
"I get that. Take all the time you need." Iris squeezed Caitlin's hand and the two girls exchanged a brief smile, before Iris gave Barry an expectant look.
"Yeah... time... that sounds good." Barry nodded, obviously unsure of what he should do or think.
"That's the mature thing to do." Caitlin murmured sombrely, but then after another pause she leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss to Iris's lips.
Iris happily welcomed the kiss, and then softly laughed, "What the-"
"I'm sorry. I just thought..." Caitlin blushed, before better explaining herself, "We should spend a few days thinking what we all really want, and then talk it over, but... well, we have already crossed that line, and I'm not in a rush to go anywhere. Are you?"
"No. Definitely not." Iris grinned, before both girls glanced at Barry.
He smiled, and told them, "Whatever you want."
His tone, and face, betrayed his eagerness, which caused both girls to grin softly, before Iris clarified, "Same rules as before."
"Uh-huh." Caitlin confirmed, "It's all about you."
Such a arrangement wasn't healthy for a long-term relationship, and almost definitely wouldn't work, but it was hard for Iris to argue with it right now. Especially as it involved Caitlin literally jumping her, as in literally onto her body and pushing her down while capturing her lips in a deep and passionate kiss.
Then once Caitlin was resting on top of Iris she briefly broke away to cover her face in kisses, causing both girls to giggle with delight, but then Caitlin kissed her lips again, and suddenly the laughter was forgotten and things became very serious again. Which was great, although it felt a little unnatural to have Caitlin on top, Iris just about to flip their positions when suddenly her fiancé pulled away and turned her attention to Iris's other fiancé.
