Hometown tour
What had started out as a very stuttering and fumbled attempt of asking if she'd like to see his hometown with him had actually turned out successful. Of course it had required some disguises since he had a secret ID still and Jess was green, but he didn't mind wearing the costume's goggles around. Most people if they saw them took them as sunglasses anyway.

After a tour of some tourist attractions (including the famous Flash Museum) and his personal favourite spots, Jess and Harry had ended up in the neighbourhood he was currently living and working in.

"I work over there. And there's a really good greasy spoon down the street we can go to later if you want," he says pointing to a community center then a place farther down the street.

Perhaps he should show her his place. It was expected if they were already in the area. But he hadn't really cleaned it up...

	"Wait...it's not going to actually be that bad is it?" He looks even more worried now. Will he be eaten alive? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No it's just a saying," she mutters softly. Hey, they should have cuddle time. She has been a fairly awesome girlfriend today. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He would very much agree, although avoid using the word girlfriend because he didn't want to presume. Harry puts an arm around her to pull her close now that he's feeling a bit better about this future visit. Until of course it dawns on him that it means she'll want to meet his family...

	Yay snuggles. She burrows into his side humming happily. She does want to but not if it makes him uncomfortable. See? Awesome girl. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Awesome girl indeed. He'll be avoiding the topic of meeting his family as long as he could. Until she started asking. He snuggles back, clearly showing improvement over a few months ago where he would have been blushing. Slow progress but progress. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eventually she might get him to be cool with kissing too.He is a very shy person after all and she doesn't want to scare him off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He gets embarrassed and flustered easily, scaring off takes more though. Perhaps because he can deal with a lot, he's used to getting in the way of fights, verbal and physical, so he can sit there and take it. But Jess doesn't do that to him and he likes her on top of it, so he'll stick around as long as she wants him to.

"Did you like Keystone?" He's trying to be conversational while he plucks up the courage to actually initiate any kissing. He'd totally done that once during the baseball game. That had counted, he insists!

	Jess would never ever hurt him. She only uses her green powers on him when he needs to get charged up for a fight or rescue mission. "Yeah. I like it. It's a very pretty city," Jess says with a soft smile up at him. "You're lucky you live here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I like it. Although I think I spend more time at the HQ now," he sheepishly admits. She might notice that their faces are a lot closer. Yes, this is considered bold for Harry. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-07-31 06:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh yeah?" She'd be happy about that. "Would be nice. Once it cools down a little bit I could possibly talk ya into running with me." That'd be nice so she's going to touch his arm and just smile. She's in a very good mood and starting to notice their faces are closer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd like that. I'm not a big runner though so go easy on me?" He gives her a shy smile and finds that their noses are almost brushing. Now just to pluck up the courage and hope she doesn't mind. He doesn't think she will. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-07-31 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	"Don't worry I'll go easy on ya. No hills," she teases and oh hey he really is close. If he doesn't kiss her she might pounce him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-07-31 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	"I'll try and keep up," he gulps and finally just takes the plunge and leans in to kiss her. Although maybe he was too slow for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-07-31 06:59 pm UTC (link)
	She meets him quite happily. The empty can gets set down an she winds an arm around him and snuggles into him. The kiss was obviously a good thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-07-31 07:14 pm UTC (link)
	This is a good example of positive reinforcement. Which might make him a tad less shy in the future. Especially since she seemed very okay with it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-07-31 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	Positive? She's trying to not jump him in a burst of friskiness. All that talk of hard wood floors, you see. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-07-31 07:34 pm UTC (link)
	He doesn't realize she's feeling frisky. It probably doesn't help that her reaction gives him a boost in confidence that keeps him kissing her. His hardwood floors were unfinished? What did she think he meant? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-07-31 07:50 pm UTC (link)
	She knows exactly what he meant. He just had no idea what she had meant thank god. She's still almost in his lap though.The kissing is unintentionally winding her up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-07-31 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	If he had known they'd have found out what medical implications there were to far too much blushing. He takes the lap invasion as more positive enforcement and doesn't seem to mind in the least. He doesn't think he has that sort of power to wind her up so much. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-07-31 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	Uh.... Yeah he does. He's adorable. And getting very good at kissing her. So yes she is interested in more but she's willing to wait on him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-07-31 08:16 pm UTC (link)
	He's completely unaware of that and would be surprised if she told him. Of course if he realized that all that talk before had been suggestive, on top of the fact they were making out on his bed... Give it a moment to sink in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-07-31 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	She's not going to. Too busy kissing him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-07-31 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	Her enthusiasm surprises him and he finds himself losing balance and falling back on the bed with her on top. Oops. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-07-31 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	Oops indeed. She breaks the kiss with a surprised look then chuckles softly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-07-31 09:09 pm UTC (link)
	He blinks in surprise and blushes slightly, wondering what she was laughing at. "What?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
