[ Upon further inspection of their conversation, Barry is almost astounded by how many things he did wrong in such a short period of time.
The first thing he did wrong was answer the text, but that goes without saying. The second thing was asking Cisco for his opinion on the subject, because he was so overtly insistent that Felicity was 'down', in his words, that Barry was certain the opposite had to be true. It was fine, in his opinion; he meant what he had said about Felicity being amazing, and he's content staying her friend for exactly that reason. Her friend that's kissed her once, which friends totally do... he's pretty sure.
His biggest mistake, however, was inviting Felicity to stay at his place. Not because she wasn't welcome and not because he'd prefer her in a hotel instead, but because Barry never saw any need to have more space than a one bedroom and he conveniently forgot that he had no other surfaces to sleep on.
Cisco was getting insufferable so Barry brought Caitlin with him to go shopping for a new couch bed, which mistake number four. She helped him pick out a couch which he had to then apparently decorate his entire apartment around, because in her words he's an adult and adults buy things like throw pillows and coat racks.
By the time Felicity is knocking on his door, Barry barely recognizes his own place. ]
Hey!
[ He's grinning when the door opens and Barry immediately goes in for the hug. ]
How was your- oh. Oh, wow. [ He stops mid-lean when he sees the size of her luggage, and Barry can't help but laugh a little before he pokes his head out of his doorway to make sure the hallway is clear. ]
Come on in! I'll take this all inside for you, I'll put it in the room you're staying in.
