Scene of the crime, Julian crouched over a dead body, Caitlin talking with Barry, both of them watching him work.
Barry had taken the news of their togetherness with surprising ease. He smiled and gave both of them hugs, telling them he was really happy for them. Caitlin walked into the Cortex a few days later to find him whispering excitedly to Iris. They broke off their conversation immediately once she entered, Barry looking like a guilty puppy caught doing something naughty.
"You can tell her about us. It's really fine." Caitlin said offhandedly.
Barry nodded a super speed. "Uhhh... yeah. Sorry 'bout that. I mean, I'm sure you wanted to tell her yourself-"
"Not particularly." Caitlin cut him off, smiling. "No offense, Iris."
They were standing in silence now, Barry trying to figure out how he could help.
"Don't bother, Barry." Caitlin said, shaking her head. "You know how Julian is when he gets on a roll."
Barry tilted his head. "True." He shifted on his feet, side eyeing her. "So... I heard about Cisco's dare. How he's got to kiss you 10 times, 10 days in a row, in public."
Caitlin shook her head, at a point in between amusement and exasperation, a common mix of emotions when dealing with Cisco. "Yes, and Julian agreed right away. I don't honestly think he knew what he was getting himself into."
"How's that worked out for you two?" Barry asked, a teasing smile playing around his lips.
She rolled her eyes. "Well, we've gotten one kiss down, and Julian hasn't mentioned it since. I really not that worried, though. If Cisco doesn't believe we're dating... then that's his problem. Just because we aren't PDA obsessed like Iris and Eddie used to be doesn't mean that we don't love each other."
Barry snorted. "Not only PDA, but right in front of me."
"That was pretty bad." Caitlin agreed, remembering the late blond detective with a mournful smile.
Julian had leapt to his feet and ran toward her. "Cai- Caitlin!" He called, getting her attention. "What are the three properties in Gasius' Poison?" (A.N: Warning: I am making this up. Completely)
"Uh... isn't is sodium, nitrogen and calcium?" Caitlin spurted off, confused as to why he was asking.
"Calcium!" Julian tossed his hands in the air. "Exactly. You are a genius!"
He grabbed her around her waist, spun her around, and pressed their lips happily together. Then he returned back to his work, leaving a few officers to mutter and a flushed Caitlin to stagger back to Barry. "Um... that happened." She muttered.
He laughed. "Looks like he didn't forget about that dare."
