Hey, everyone! So, recently, some other Snowbert writers (me, Write-To-You, Irrevocably, ihateeverythingandbody, and radpineapple) joined together in a forum dedicated to Snowbert. In the forum, we give monthly prompts. This is one of the prompts for September, given by Irrevocably.

Two days ago...

"See you tomorrow, Julian," said Caitlin, smiling.

"See you tomorrow." Julian paused. "Hey, do you want me to wait?"

Caitlin beamed. "Thanks. I'll only take a few minutes."

As the brunette began organizing her things, Cisco smirked. "So..."

Caitlin looked up. "What is it?"

"You and Julian seem close."

Caitlin raised an eyebrow. "We are. He's part of the team. We should help him feel welcome."

"No, I mean...close."

Caitlin crossed her arms. "Cisco, where is this going?"

"It's just that I've seen the way you look at him," explained Cisco. "And the way he looks at you."

Caitlin avoided his eyes. "I have to go. Julian is waiting for me outside."

Meanwhile, Julian was being confronted by Barry. "So, about Caitlin..." the speedster began.

"Yes?" Julian said impatiently.

"I've noticed that you guys have gotten pretty close lately," remarked Barry casually.

Julian eyed the other man warily. "Yes?"

"I was wondering how you feel about going on a blind date," mumbled Barry awkwardly.

There was an awkward silence. Julian blinked. "A blind date?"

"We can set you up, if we want," continued the speedster.

"No, thank you," the blonde said flatly as Caitlin emerged from the cortex. "I'm quite alright." He and Caitlin walked out.

"Bye, Barry," called the doctor.

"Bye, Caitlin," answered Barry. He smiled.

Cisco chuckled. "Ready?"

"Ready."

Present...

"Are you ready for tonight?" Cisco asked.

Caitlin smiled. "Yeah. Let's go." The brunette was wearing a sleeveless blue dress up to her knees, with black heels making her look three inches taller.

After the two scientists left, Barry said, "So, Julian, doing anything tonight?"

"No," replied the blonde a bit sadly. He had invited Caitlin for some coffee, but she declined, saying she had plans with Cisco. He couldn't expect her to be available all the time, could he? She had a life. An actual life, that didn't revolve around him.

He wished he could say the same about himself.

"Cool. Do you want to grab some drinks?" Barry continued.

Julian nodded. "Sure."

A few minutes later, the two arrived at a bar that looked classy but not expensive. Jazzy music played softly in the background, with soft murmurs matching the music's volume. Julian raised his eyebrows. This bar was much nicer than where Team Flash usually hanged out.

"Hey, isn't that Caitlin and Cisco over there?" Barry said suddenly, as if he rehearsed that single sentence over and over.

Julian quickly glanced around the bar, before his eyes settled on a certain brunette with beautiful brown eyes, in a sleeveless blue dress and black heels. "Let's say hello," decided Julian immediately, striding to where Caitlin was sitting.

The doctor looked up from her conversation with Cisco. "Julian!" She stood up. "What are you doing here?"

"Barry and I decided to go for some drinks, and we just spotted you here," replied Julian, grinning.

Caitlin grinned as well. "Want to sit down?"

"Sure!" Julian exclaimed. He looked around. "I'll just find Barry and - " The Brit was interrupted as his phone's screen lit up with a text from Barry.

Hey julian. I set u up anyway :) see u tom

On Caitlin's phone, a similar text from Cisco lit up her screen.

Kill me later please. have fun first :)

Julian replied with:

Oh no Allen YOU DID NOT! 😡😡😡

Caitlin, however, ignored the text and sighed. "Guess we're stuck here."

Julian answered awkwardly, "Well, it's not so bad."

Caitlin smiled again. "No, it's not," she agreed. "At least you're here."

They both sat down together, in silence. Not the awkward silence you experience on a first date where you both don't know what to say, but the comfortable silence where you don't need to fill the place with words.

After a few minutes, Caitlin offered, "Do you want some drinks? It's on me."

"Yeah!" said Julian immediately, then collected himself and added, "No, no, I'll pay for it."

Caitlin laughed and ordered drinks anyway. She knew his favorite drink was a mild wine, since that was what he was accustomed to in his rich upbringing. For herself, she asked for some whiskey. Handing the blonde his drink, Caitlin said, "And since I ordered, I'll pay."

Julian stared at her. "This wine's expensive!"

"So?"

"I'll pay," stated Julian.

Caitlin took a sip of her whiskey. "We can argue about who will pay all night, or we can actually talk."

Julian decided to let this one slide. "So what do you want to talk about, Dr. Snow?"

For a split second, the brunette looked a bit nervous, chewing on her bottom lip. Then, she answered, "You."

An awkward pause filled the space between them. Caitlin's response was incredibly cheesy and cliché, but it still gave Julian a warm feeling in his chest.

When Julian didn't say anything, Caitlin took a deep breath. "You don't have to say anything, if you don't want."

Julian took a big gulp of his wine, hoping the alcohol would give him some temporary bravery. All it did was worsen the butterflies in his stomach. "No, no, it's fine," he said quickly. "Er, as you know, I was raised in a British family. We were wealthy and rich. They expected me to grow up. To be like them. But I was never fascinated about money. I was fascinated about where it came from. I was a scientist. And so I used my parents' money for training. I attended top universities, multiple seminars, until I was at the top. But then, my sister, Emma, died, and - " his voice cracked.

Caitlin slipped her hand into his. "Hey," she gently murmured. "It's OK. You don't have to say anything else."

Julian turned his baby blue eyes to her brown ones. "Thank you, Caitlin," he said. Then he smiled. "But enough about me. What about you?"

The doctor took a deep breath. "Well, when I was young, my father died - " She was cut off by a hug from a certain Brit.

"I'm sorry," he whispered.

Caitlin was certain those tears weren't there before. But she was definitely teary-eyed right now. She tried to blink them back. "Julian..."

"I am so sorry," repeated the blonde.

Burying her face into his arms, Caitlin murmured, "It's fine. It wasn't your fault."

The two broke from their hug, and instead, Caitlin rested her head on Julian's shoulder. After a few moments of silence, Julian said, "You know, we're in a pub. We should be having fun."

Caitlin smiled as she lifted her head. "You don't want to see me drunk."

"I wouldn't mind," responded Julian lightly.

Caitlin laughed as she took another sip. Maybe getting drunk wouldn't be such a bad idea, as long as Julian was there with her

4 hours later...

Cisco and Barry raised their eyebrows at the sight of giggling Caitlin and a babbling Julian.

"They had fun," remarked Cisco dryly.

Barry laughed. "Come on. Let's get them home."

Caitlin suddenly burst out laughing hysterically. "You're so funny, Julian!"

Julian grabbed her hand. "So are you! I like you a lot, Caitlin!"

Caitlin's brown eyes shone. "Me too."

Barry and Cisco smirked at each other. They'd tell Caitlin and Julian about this when they finally started dating officially.
