OC Valentine's Challenge -> Day 3: No Second Chances Romance
She's back from Earth-2, after making a name for herself over there as The Flash. Jared is on the precipice of starting something with Wally – late night ice creams and stolen kisses in the hallway – and it's amazing as any new thing can be. But when he sees her, a little doubt starts to creep in. Maybe... he's thinking, they ended things too soon, and she's back for a reason...
Jesse pulls him aside, after a few days of skirted encounters and uneasy glances on Jared's part, to talk. They grab their regulars from Jitters, speed up to a city roof, and reminisce. In the sun, with the breeze, without the stressors of a superhero life, they realise one thing: they like each other, they have fun, they feel free to be themselves around each other... but in a way that makes them better off as friends. Not everything has to be some magical, pre-destined, meant-to-be 'thing'.

The thing with almost love is. It's just love. It might have been doomed from the start, it might have been one sided, meant to fall apart under the circumstances of it all or the beginning of a new heartache. But it was still love.

When you’re in an almost relationship, it’s hard to tell where the “almost” ends and the “relationship” begins. It’s like being committed to a never ending loop. I think I’ve written us over and over again, but somehow it never feels like a final draft.

Technically, he wasn’t an ex-boyfriend, but he was an ex-something. An ex-maybe. An ex-almost.

We were, we used to, it was, remember when, 'us' shifting to 'you and I'......it all caries so much hurt.

The problem with being your almost was that you always made me feel like I was more, but then I never was.
The problem with being your almost was deciding if almost was enough, but almost will never be enough.
