Note: I would like to thank the kind guest who left reviews for all the previous chapters. Your insight is greatly appreciated. Believe it or not, cramming my ideas into a single space is something I've had a problem with writing essays in high school/college. I will attempt to rectify that problem in the future. Also, I just figured out that you have to update documents and then update the story a few days ago because I am a genius.

"Did your bedroom get bigger? I feel like it got bigger."

Barry had an encounter with a meta-human that left in a state of what could charitably be described as intense intoxication. There was no humane place to sleep at STAR Labs and Joe could not be reached, so Barry had to find some alternative place to sleep. Considering the two were now boyfriend and girlfriend, it fell to Caitlin to escort Barry to her apartment for a good night's rest until Team Flash could figure out what exactly was wrong with him.

"I haven't had any major renovations, no," Caitlin wasn't exactly sure as to why she was attempting to have a legitimate conversation with Barry. "Come on now, in bed." She wrenched the covers off as Barry flopped face-first onto her bed. For her own safety, Caitlin had decided on the car ride over to sleep on the couch, but that didn't mean she was going to allow Barry to destroy her rather well-kept bed, so she made sure to take his shoes off as he adjusted himself.

"There we go. Well, good night." Caitlin also desperately needed a good night's rest. Barry had spent the entire car ride squinting at her and asked her three times if he had ever mentioned that she was the most gorgeous person he had ever witnessed. She was grateful his state of delirium precluded him from witnessing the fierce blush that adorned her face whenever he asked her. Caitlin thought it was ridiculous how wild Barry drove her even in spite of her feelings for him.

As soon as she entered the door frame, Barry called to her. "Cait, wait,"

She gave a hefty sigh before turning around. "What?"

"Can you stay with me?"

Considering he would likely fall asleep in a matter of seconds, she saw no objection in remaining by Barry's side. He had done the same for her, after all. "Fine."

"I mean, like, in bed."

Caitlin could feel the color drain from her face as soon as she successfully processed his request.

"I really don't think th-"

"But I need someone to keep me warm. Pleeeease?"

"That's why you have the cov-"

Before Caitlin could finish her thought, Barry hurled Caitlin's pristine covers to the adjacent side of the bed. He reacted to Caitlin's incredulity by pouting.

"Pleeeease?"

Caitlin had quite a bit to consider. Sure, they were dating, and being in bed with Barry while both of them had their clothes on was admittedly something she fantasized about a lot even before they were boyfriend and girlfriend, but this was just taking things faster than Caitlin preferred. Despite her objections, something in her gut propelled her forward.

"Fine."

Barry's face lit up. "Yay."

He wrapped his arms around her as soon as she placed herself in the bed. The first thing she noticed was that Barry's body was very, very warm to the point where she knew she wouldn't need blankets. Caitlin let her arms wrap around Barry's upper body and she nuzzled her head into the space between his chest and his shoulder. She let herself meld with him as she felt her stomach somersault pleasantly. The thrill of cuddling with Barry exceeded even her most ludicrous expectations.

"Goodnight, Caitlin."

She shot him a smile and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek.

"Goodnight, drunkie."
