Hey all! Another Snowbert story - this time, for Christmas. I will be updating this (hopefully) every day, or every other day. This is rather short, soo... but there will be more chapters to come!

Also: italics = flashbacks

December 25, 2018

Caitlin collapsed onto her couch, tired and sleepy. As cheerful and excited as she was during her Christmas party with Team Flash, all energy had left her as she returned to her quiet apartment.

Feeling herself sinking into the couch, her almost-slumber was interrupted by her phone's ping.

Ping! Ping!

Caitlin pulled out her phone and couldn't stop a small grin form on her lips, seeing Cisco and Iris' enthusiastic posts.

The brunette shook her head fondly. "Phone addicts," she mumbled and opened her gallery. She idly scrolled down her photos, deleting some as she went along. Her heart caught in her throat as she caught sight of a photo that she'd rather not have remembered.

It was Julian. He had blonde hair and blue eyes, grinning with an arm around her waist. Caitlin herself was beaming brightly, hazel eyes shining happily.

Caitlin sighed. She was so happy with Julian. Leaning her head back, she allowed herself to relive the memory.

"Julian, I'm not sure about this..." Caitlin said nervously.

Julian glanced at her. "It's fine, Cait. I should be the one worrying. I've never done something like this before."

Caitlin chewed on the corner of her lower lip as she examined his features. His forehead was creased with worry. "That's not helping," she responded. "It is so obvious that you're nervous."

Julian faced her completely, blue eyes peering into hazel ones. "Caitlin, we've gotten through Planet of the Apes and raging meta-humans," he assured her. "It's a double date. What's the worse that could happen?"

"A meta could visit and ruin it all," answered Caitlin immediately.

"That's just a normal Wednesday."

"And it's a double date with Barry and Iris," added the brunette. "They're the golden standard!"

"Caitlin, everything will be fine," the CSI repeated. "Allen said that it would be great."

Damn Barry and his irrational optimism. "Fine. I'm ready to go."

As soon as they arrived to the West house, Iris had dragged them outside.

"Look at you two!" she exclaimed, aiming her camera. "You guys are adorable!"

Barry went outside. "Iris, uh - "

"Barry, aren't they so cute together?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah, but - "

Iris shushed him and prepared the camera. "Smile!"

Caitlin couldn't help but giggle at Iris and Barry. She glanced at Julian, who was grinning in amusement.

"This will be fun," whispered Caitlin.

Julian grinned wider. "Finally, you see it from my point of view."

Caitlin let the memory lull her to sleep, curls scattered all over her face.

And so it was, on December 25, 6:37 a.m., Caitlin Snow slumbered on the couch, revisiting her memories as dreams.
