Disclaimer: I don't own The Flash or any of the other related properties. So I decided that I wanted to write a series of Snowbarry one-shots. This is the first of many. I am always taking them on tumblr. My blog name is i-will-always-remember-whouffle, This prompt was submitted by chasingblue57. How about a Snowbarry first date?

It had been a long day for the team. The man in yellow had made his second appearance and once again defeated Barry. This meeting seemed to weigh on him even more than the last, with him looking like a kicked puppy when he left the lab. It made Caitlin's heart drop and she knew that she needed to help him through the difficult time. But the question was how?

It was there and then that she knew where the answer would be. Joe. She sent off a quick text message and grabbed her keys, off to the nearest supermarket for tonight's game plan. As she was leaving the lab, her phone gave a quick buzz and the message let her develop a small smile.

"Perfect." Was the quiet whisper that broke the total silence of the room. Caitlin made her way from the lab to her car, ready for the evening.

Barry sat on Joe's couch, staring blankly at the wall. The rage inside had disappeared, leaving a hurt and scared boy at heart, who had lost his mother all those years ago. He wanted her to tell him that everything would be all right, and hold him in her tightest hug. But he knew that was impossible, those being memories, the source being long since gone. No one seemed to understand what he was going through and he never seemed to feel so alone in his life.

That's why it surprised him when he heard a knock on the door. The sound echoed through the empty house, reminding Barry that he was alone. He debating getting up and answering it, but when he heard the voice from the other side he mad his choice.

"Barry I know you're in there. Please let me in." Caitlin's voice was soft and gentle as though she knew the state that he was in.

"Just go away Caitlin, I'm fine. I just need some sleep."

For a moment that seemed to do the trick. No protest came, nor any other arguments. Instead something worse came, something that Barry wasn't ready for.

"I know you've lied to everyone else about this. But I thought we were past the lying and secrets. I thought you trusted me." The words were softer than before and they flowed with painful elegance that Barry could only equate with Caitlin Snow.

He slowly unlocked and opened the door, to stand face to face with Caitlin. There were tears in her eyes and her mouth was caught between a smile and frown. She was happy that he opened the door, but sad that the two still needed to have these conversations. Without a word, she walked into the house and into the kitchen. With lightning speed she retrieved two spoons and set them on the table in the living room.

Barry could only stand and watch as the S.T.A.R lab scientist moved eerily graceful around the place. She grabbed a blanket, set it on the couch and then retrieved a box from the closet. Barry had no idea what was occurring. He did figure that he didn't want to interrupt her and further focus her wrath. Still watching her, he couldn't help but let a small smile cross his face. She was beautiful, there was no denying that.

But he'd never say that out loud. She'd probably hit him.

When Caitlin was finished, she all but pushed Barry onto the couch and plopped down next to him. She opened the grocery bag and pulled out a large tub of ice cream.

"It's cookie dough. Joe told me it's your favorite."

"Yeah. When I missed my mom he'd buy it for me. Joe always said that it was like getting two desserts at once." Barry informed her letting a small smile cross his face. "It was also her favorite too. She would only share it with me. She smacked my dad's hands every time he got near."

"Barry, I know you don;t want to talk about this but you are you okay?" The brunette's voice was full of concern, and he knew she just wanted the best for him.

"Not really, not tonight. But I will be tomorrow, I have to." Barry replied, not able to look Caitlin in the eyes.

"Okay, well that's why I'm here. Tonight you're just Barry Allen, a normal person who lost his mom. And we're going to eat this whole tub of ice cream and watch movies. Then we're going to talk like normal people."

"Thanks Caitlin. What's you want to watch?"

"I brought Star Wars. I was told it's one of your favorites." That smile again. It made Barry just a little angry. It would only be the smile from a friend nothing more and nothing less.

"Actually since you brought my favorite ice cream, we watch your favorite movie." Barry had the slightest of smirks on his face.

"Oh and tell, what movie is that?" Was asked along with a raised eyebrow.

"I was told by a little birdy that you were fond of Disney. Only hint I got for a ten pound bag of candy. But I do have a decent amount of luck and my guess is Beauty and the Beast, Dr. Snow."

That seemed to catch Caitlin off guard. She tensed a bit and Barry noticed the reaction in an instant. He started to panic, worried he had said something wrong.

"Listen Caitlin, I'm sorry if I said-"

"No. It's just I've never told anyone. Not even Ronnie. When I was little, it was the movie I watched to remind myself of the magic out there. I also promised myself that I would only watch it with my prince. I loved Ronnie, I truly did. But I never felt that connected with him. To share that with him where ever he may be." At this point she was crying, the tears not stopping. "But you're always like that Barry. Someone I feel so connected to, in a way that I cannot explain."

"We don't have to watch it." Barry said, clearly affected by her words. "If it means that much to you."

"No you idiot. You're sharing your past with me, and I want to share mine with you. I trust you Barry Allen." Caitlin smiled through her tears and Barry met her eyes. He smiled back and moved to put the movie in the dvd player.

Barry went back to the couch and curled up with Caitlin. The two sat shoulder to shoulder, wrapped in the blanket she had brought and they moved to open the ice cream.

"Caitlin Snow, I'm glad I can share this with you. I hope you know that you're the only one I trust enough to share this all with."

"I know Barry and I hope you know that I feel the same way."

"I do."

The two began to eat the frozen treat and were content to watch the film, both singing along and savoring every moment of this night. Tears had dried from both sides and smiles returned.

"Oh and Barry." Caitlin whispered almost halfway through the movie. "Can our second date involve less crying and possible dinner."

"Second date?" Barry stuttered out, shocked at the notion. Not that he minded the idea.

She just let out a laugh that was like gold, and shifted closer to him, placing her head on his shoulder and taking his hand in hers. He just smiled and gave the hand a squeeze.

It was almost two in the morning when Joe West returned home. He had worried all evening about his adopted son, but he had trust in Caitlin Snow. He had watched the two long enough to know that she could help him. And that he could do the same for her. However, he had not expected to find the two laying on the couch, snuggled under a blanket both smiling in a peaceful slumber.

He gave a short laugh when he realized he didn't warn Caitlin about Barry's drooling. That's be a fun conversation when they woke up.

Quietly he walked upstairs and took one last look at the soon to be couple. All he wanted was for the two of them to be happy. And with that he went to bed, glad that two who were so lost, found just what they needed.

Maybe in the end they weren't as alone as they thought. And tomorrow, they would face the world and its darkness together.
