"No, no no CAITLIN!" He awoke with a jolt. The light from the blinds are slowly seeping into the dark room. But it was not his room. "Where am i?" First there was a feeling of relief, it was just a dream. He looked over and saw he was sleeping on a couch. Caitlins couch. Why is he at Caitlins? "I need to find her" He had to see if it really was a dream, or if it was a nightmare coming true. Barry approached Caitlins bedroom, and slowly started to open the door.
The door opened without a struggle unleashing light in Caitlins bedroom. He saw her shaking in her sleep. He walked closer towards her bed and saw she was crying. Barry felt more relieved than normal. He did not know what to do about the crying Caitlin, but she was alive. Should i wake her up or should i lie down next to her? Whatever one he chose, he knew he had to comfort her. If there was one thing in this world that he absolutely hated it was watching Caitlin hurt.
Barry decided, after a few seconds of wondering, that he should lie down. He crawled onto the brunette's bed and lay down with his body pressing up against hers, big steady arms holding her as she cried. Not long after she woke up.
Caitlin woke up from a terrible dream in safe arms. She realised it was Barry after his scent reached her nose. "Barry? Oh thank god" She said whilst letting her tears drop down her face. "Hey Cait, why were you crying? Are you okay?" Now he was fighting tears. Seeing his beloved Caitlin cry always made him tear up. "I had a dream, and and you died and i could not save you and it was horri" She managed to say before she was overcome with sobs. "Well i'm not, i'm right here, don't worry." The feeling that she was there, that she was 100% okay, and that she was in his arms, was the best feeling he has ever experienced.
Caitlin felt two strong arms pull her closer, and felt her tears soaking his shirt. It felt right to be there. After long metahuman fights she always found a safe place in Barry's arms. The small hint of electrisity surging through him was comforting. He was alive and he was there holding her.
After Caitlin had stopped crying they eventually got up, but not before they had locked eyes for the first time since he got there. "Caitlin?" "Hm?" "How did i get here?" " I saw you at S.T.A.R labs, after you returned with the news that Killer Frost was dead. You had fallen asleep, so i got you here because i couldn't find your key" "So Frost really is dead?" Caitlin wondered why Barry sounded so afraid. "Barry, is something wrong?" "Nah, i'll be fine" She was getting annoyed at him for not revealing his feelings. But instead of scolding him she asked him nicely. "Barry, please tell me, i can't lie here in your arms if you are not willing to tell me why you are so scared" "It's just that, i had a dream aswell, i got to your apartment and i saw you were stabbed in the same place as Killer Frost and you were dead" Now his face was covered in tears.
"We really can't live without each other can we?" "No i guess not." After another hour of crying and talking and just enjoying each others company, they decided it would be best to eat breakfast and get to work and face another day.
