Kangaroo

Summary:

They're supposed to be heading back to the bus to head back to school

Notes:

Prompt from agentmarymargaretskitz: Westallen + “I’m going to pet the kangaroo.”

This ended up being set about 20 years pre relationship

Work Text:

“I think that’s a wallaby,” Barry said. “Kangaroos are much bigger.”

“It looks like a kangaroo,” Iris said. “And it looks fluffy and I want to stroke it.”

“I don’t know if we’re allowed,” Barry said.

“It’s the part of the zoo where you’re allowed to pet things that want you to pet them,” Iris said.

“But we are supposed to stay with the teachers and they don’t look like they’re going to stop and let us pet things. They said we have to go back to the bus.”

“It’s fine,” Iris said. “It’s not like they can leave without us.”

“Your teacher managed to leave you at the zoo because you wanted to stop and pet a kangaroo,” Nora said.

“A wallaby,” Barry said.

“It was my idea,” Iris said.

Nora laughed.

“You two are going to get yourselves into a lot of trouble one day,” she said. “Come on, Iris, let’s go find your dad.”
