I'm having way too much fun writing this lol
And hey, a short A/N! There's something new for me XD
Barry and Caitlin had gone out for lunch - nothing really interesting was happening that day, so it seemed like a fitting one to use for some down time.
It had also only been about three days since Frost had hugged Barry. And as far as Caitlin could tell, Frost still hardcore-crushed on Barry. She didn't want to deny Frost of the opportunity to chase after Barry... it was the first time she had felt Frost actually cared and loved for someone.
Well, technically not... she cared for Savitar. A lot. Even though back then she was far icier, she still loved that man.
Sometimes, she still even missed him...
Caitlin couldn't necessarily blame her - he had given her shelter. A home. Someone to talk to. So really, she had every right to miss him and not be judged. So that's exactly what Caitlin did - not judge her.
"Hey... just wanted to say thanks," Frost said, from inside her head. "For, you know... that thing a couple days ago."
"You're very welcome, miss," smiled Caitlin. "You know you don't have to ask me if you want to hug him, right? If you're in control, and it feels right, go give him one!"
"O-Okay," Frost said timidly. "He's... he's so warm... and so happy... all the time. How does he do it?"
"A Barry Allen secret," she said softly, giving a small smile.
Barry then walked over with their food. "Sorry it took so long... forgot what it was like waiting in actual lines. You know I could've-"
"Super speed-ed this whole process? I am aware," Caitlin smiled. "But I want this lunch date to be as normal as possible."
Barry nearly choked on air at the word "date" being used while he sat at the same table as Caitlin Snow.
However, he cleverly disguised it, and the two began eating.
"Hey... can you ask him something? For me?" Frost asked softly.
"Yeah... sure!" Caitlin said quietly, as to not rouse Barry's suspicions.
"C-Can you... can you ask him if he thinks I'm pretty?" she said.
Now it was Caitlin's turn to nearly choke on air.
"You okay there?" Barry asked her.
"Uh... y-yeah!" she smiled. "I just need to talk to Frost really quickly. Could you excuse me?"
"Sure," Barry nodded, giving her a smile.
Caitlin grinned back, and she went into the bathroom. Thankfully, no one else was in there, so she could talk to Frost safely.
"So... that blunt, huh?" Caitlin teased her.
"I just wanna know if he thinks I look nice!" Frost insisted. "Is there something wrong with that?"
"No!" Caitlin said. "I was just shocked... I expected you to ask, oh, I don't know... something a little less than that?"
"Well...call me crazy for wanting to know," she sighed.
"Oh, hush, I never said that," Caitlin said, chuckling lightly. "You're such a teenager sometimes."
"Sorry..." Frost said.
"Hey now, don't be like that, you did nothing wrong," Caitlin said. "Tell you what - I'll ask him, but no matter what happens, you have to tell him he's handsome right back. Okay?"
"Done," Frost said instantly, perking up a bit.
"There's my girl," Caitlin smiled.
And with that, she walked out of the restroom, and back to her table with Barry.
"So, you and Frost have a chat?" he asked.
"We did!" Caitlin nodded. "And, uh... she wanted me to ask you something."
"Okay, shoot," Barry smiled.
Caitlin took a deep breath... why was she nervous about this?
"Frost wanted me to ask you if you thought she was pretty," she finally blurted out.
Barry paused, before a slow grin appeared on his face.
Then, he tapped Caitlin's forehead with his index finger.
"Tell her I said 'Yes, she is very pretty'," Barry smiled. "No one can deny it - you could ask anyone the same thing, and they'd still say yes. I mean, look at her!"
Frost was dancing around in Caitlin's head like a party had just started.
Caitlin, meanwhile, only smiled widely, and nodded. "Hey, cutie - he said yes."
"I KNOW! THANK YOU!" she screamed. Caitlin giggled lightly. "Oh, and tell him he's handsome! Y'know, for me."
"Will do," Caitlin smiled.
"I hope she took it well," Barry laughed.
"Yes, very much so," smiled Caitlin. "She's currently dancing inside my head. And also... she wanted to say she thinks your handsome."
"Well, I'll be sure to thank her later," Barry smiled. "And, uh... can I tell you something?"
"Sure!" the doctor smiled.
Barry then leaned over, and whispered something in her ear.
"You know, you're really pretty too."
Caitlin's cheeks were immediately flushed with red.
"R-Really?" she stuttered.
"Well, if I say Frost is pretty," Barry began, "its only fair that I tell Cait she's pretty too, right?"
Caitlin sighed blissfully, and smiled adoringly at him - this was not her normal behavior. But then again, this wasn't a normal scenario.
"Uh-uhm... t-thank you, Barry," she smiled. "That's, uhm... that's very sweet of you."
"You're welcome!" Barry smiled.
"AND THAT'S A TOUCHDOWN FOR THE HOME TEAM!" the TV in the restaurant said loudly.
"What a stupid TV, interrupting a nice moment," Frost said bitterly. "Although... it may be onto something, Caity."
Caitlin, meanwhile, just smiled widely at Barry, who was now telling some sort of football story due to the sudden interruption.
And maybe, just maybe...
Frost was right about this one.
