Summary: It was Christmas again, two people reminisce the past when they were each other's Christmas wish.

Caitlin Snow woke up, ignoring the fresh tears decorating her snow-white skin. She turned around to her left side, feeling for something warm. Then he'll shift from his bed and face her, wearing a half-asleep smile.

She smiles sadly at her wishful expectation of him still beside her but in reality, Caitlin was lying on her bed, she was alone and crying.

I know I've moved on and was doing fine. It was two years ago since we broke up and drifted apart from each other's lives. But why does it still hurt like hell? I miss him, yes. I'm fine already, so why am I crying over again and again?

She cries once more, fell asleep crying and woke up still crying. I miss you. I hope you're doing fine. Because I don't, but I hope you are.

You deserve someone better and more special than me. You've shouldered every problem in the world because that's you are. A selfless man who would do everything just to keep the world safe and made sure that everyone around him was happy.

I guess that's what I liked about you. You were just an ordinary man but as I got closer to you, I thought wrong. You were extraordinary, special, and amazing. No wonder I fell for you so hard, you rudely took down my walls and cold interior but I don't mind.

You shared the warmth of your world to me, guiding me through life and making sure I was holding tightly on your hand.

An hour later, she stood up from her bed. She was miserable and lonely but continued to move forward with her life. Her phone vibrated, a lot of messages greeting her Merry Christmas and asking if she would come later.

Caitlin puts down her phone, a memory of her best Christmas resurfacing and of course it included him.

Where are you taking me, Bartholomew Henry Allen? Caitlin said in a petulant tone while the man laughs. Just keep calm, Cait. We're almost there. She rolled her eyes, You said that an hour ago. He grins at her, Just you wait.

We're here! Her eyes were greeted by a large pine tree with Christmas lights and ornaments. It had a giant star on top, beneath the tree was a picnic blanket and basket together with a guitar on the middle.

Please, sit down, milady. Barry leads her to the blanket while Caitlin rolled her eyes, completely amused. He picks up the guitar and sits across her.

And then he cleared his throat, started to strum his guitar while she patiently waits for his angelic voice.

He starts singing while strumming his guitar

I'm so in love, so in love

So in love, so in love

He looks at her straight in the eyes, smiling brightly as he strums the guitar while Caitlin watches in awe and lovestruck of the man in front of her.

You look so beautiful in this light

Your silhouette over me

The way it brings out the blue in your eyes

Is the Tenerife sea

He stops strumming his guitar and presses play on his phone then placing it on the picnic blanket. Barry grabs her hand, Let's dance. She laughs as Barry twirled her and they waltzed in a funny way.

And all of the voices surrounding us here

They just fade out when you take a breath

Just say the word and I will disappear

Into the wilderness

Barry wraps his arms around Caitlin's waist while she puts her arm around his neck. The instrumentals start playing and Barry continues singing the lyrics, love overflowing from his voice.

And should this be the last thing I see

I want you to know it's enough for me

'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need

I love you, Caitlin Snow. Remember that. He says pausing then looking at her with starry eyes. Caitlin felt tears falling down and she pulls him for a loving kiss, savoring the moment that she has with her best boyfriend in the whole multiverse.

I'm so in love, so in love

So in love, so in love

The instrumentals stop playing while Barry pulls away, Merry Christmas. Caitlin smiles widely, Merry Christmas. The pair sat down on the blanket and started digging on their food while talking about how Barry planned this and why Caitlin didn't bother singing along with him which earned Barry a playful slap on the arm.

Caitlin smiles at her reflection in the mirror while combing her hair, "You'll get over him. His memory always comes back when it's Christmas." She puts on a sweater and her ripped jeans plus ankle boots then proceeded to go out, have a walk and clear her mind.

He sat up on his bed, running his hands through his face. I'm dreaming of her again. Barry Allen sighs, wiping the lone tears on his face. It's that time of the year again.

It's Christmas again, his favorite time of the year. Their favorite time of the year. At least it was… two years ago. Two years have passed since they decided to end it, noticing that the spark they had was gone. The warmth they had was now just a cold remnant of their relationship.

She was an amazing woman, Caitlin Snow. At first, she was intimidating and cold but once I tore down her walls; I found a happy and warm woman who has a lot of love to give.

She was never the one to ask for help. Even when she was in pain, she kept it to herself. She was brave, not wanting to lean on anyone else. Until she met me, who was annoyingly pestering her to be jollier and sunnier.

It was hard, her almost avoiding me every time I greet her. But my determination never fades, she slowly warmed up to me. She became more open and expressive, how she was really a cold person.

I laugh at it, thinking it was just her facade to make her look strong and unnerved. But underneath all of that cold, she was just a woman wary of letting someone else in.

She suffered so much that's why only a few people know how to approach her. I was lucky to have met her, she was always there for me.

Maybe that's why I fell in love with her, she would risk anything even herself just to make sure no one is suffering even though she's all alone and suffering worse. I vowed to remind her that she's not alone that I would also do the same thing just to make sure I'm right by her side.

Barry was drinking a cup of coffee and was eating a leftover lasagna from last night. He smiles, "She may be off key, but she can make the meanest lasagna and the most scrumptious food."

So, how does it taste? Caitlin Snow asks with a hopeful grin. Barry was eating her lasagna, looking at her seriously. Once he swallows, It's kinda good. Caitlin gapes at him, Kinda good? What?

He laughs loudly, That means I want another plateful of it because it is the best lasagna I've ever tasted. Caitlin grinned widely and happily served him another piece of her lasagna.

You know, you are off key but you can cook expertly. She playfully slaps him, You'll never live down the fact that I can't sing a single note to save a life, huh? He grins at her, Nope. But you can cook to save a life, you'll be fine, babe.

Caitlin rolled her eyes, Don't babe me. She tries to get away from him but Barry was faster and puller her down, wrapping her into his arms. He snuggled, Don't be so annoyed, babe. I love you.

She refused to reply and just tried to escape his grasp. He sighs and proceeds to lightly touch her sides causing a scream from her.

Barry Allen, don't you dare! Her eyes were wide and she tried to be angry but the smile was giving it away. Barry smirked at her, Cait, don't scream like that. What would the neighbors think? Am I doing you that good?

That earned him another playful slap while he full-on tickled her, laughter and giggle erupting from his girlfriend while smiles and grins adorned Barry's face. He loves these moments with her, simple but happy and memorable.

Even if they were just tickling and appreciating each other's presence, it was everything.

He was wearing a red hoodie and joggers paired with Adidas. Barry plans to have a walk outside, run around and clear his mind from her presence again.

I miss you and I hope you're doing okay. It's Christmas again, the time when you come rushing back into my mind.

Caitlin Snow was walking inside a book store, checking for something interesting to read about. She runs her hand through the books, not bothering to look at the titles.

She closes her eyes and hears his adorable laughter

Barry! I'm reading! Be quiet! Caitlin said angrily but deep down she was laughing and giggling.

Her boyfriend was humming Summer Nights, Come on, Cait. Let's dance. Barry pulls her from the beanbag, dancing with her again.

Barry! She laughs making Barry grin as the two of them looked like fools dancing while singing their respective parts of the song.

She was reading The Little Prince on her bed when her phone vibrated.

Caitlin Snow picked it up and saw the message, from her best friend, Cisco

Cait, you coming tonight? Kara was asking me. Are you alright?

She smiled and typed back,

Sorry, can't go. Stuck in the world of novels. I'm fine, don't worry. You guys enjoy the party.

Caitlin puts down her phone and reads again.

"It's the time you spent on your rose that makes your rose so important." She read the line from the book, smiling sadly.

The time we've spent, weren't wasted. Our rose grew to be beautiful and majestic, showing the bright and happy moments of our love. But a rose also has several thorns, its protection from harm.

Those thorns in the rose we've grown together, were the dark and gloomy moments of the relationship. The almost break up, the cold treatments, the hate, and every negative feeling we had; grew on the rose.

Despite that, the rose was still pretty and we made sure to protect it and water it every day, either with love or with tears. Sadly, it wasn't enough to make the rose last long.

No one did something wrong, we just woke up one day; feeling the intense cold that have replaced the warmth we once had.

The rose we grew slowly wilted as we slowly gave up on each other, thinking this is the end of what seemed to be a perfect relationship.

But there was no perfect relationship, just an imperfect relationship patched up by love and care.

She puts down the book again, tears were around her eyes again. Caitlin laughs, How many times have I cried today? She wipes it again and felt her phone vibrate.

It was Kara, asking her something.

She smiled and replied. Then she fell asleep once again, tired of crying.

As she drifts off to Dreamland, she sees him smiling and laughing, teasing her, kissing her, loving her and just staying beside her. It was all just in her memory now, at least she knew it was real; just from the Christmases when he was still hers.

He steps inside the house of Oliver Queen, walking past the crowd until, "Barry!" Cisco stood up and hugged his best friend, "It's been a while, man." He smiles at him, "Yeah it has."

"How is she?" Barry asked as the two of them ate the pizza. Cisco sighs and looks at him, "Well she didn't come. Stuck in her novels. And she's fine, according to her." Barry nods, a sad smile on his face.

Kara approaches them, "Hey, Barry." He looks up and was greeted by a warm smile. He smiles back and hugs her, "She texted me, Barry. And I think you should read it."

She gives him her phone, Barry slowly opens it and reads the text.

Kara smiles at him, "I asked her what was her Christmas wish and she answered with that."

Cisco chuckles quietly at the text while Barry didn't know what to feel but he smiled at it anyway

My Christmas wish… is to see him again. Know if he's doing fine and still smiling widely. I know it sounds weird but even after we broke up; he's still my Christmas wish. I know I'm not his Christmas wish anymore, but it's alright.

That was the first night, Caitlin Snow slept soundly. Her phone vibrated but she was already asleep.

A number she couldn't delete texted her again, after two years.

You're still my Christmas wish. I miss you too, I want to see you again.

Maybe in another timeline, we are both together and happy. No Christmases where we are wishing for each other because we have each other.

A/N: Merry Christmas to everyone! (early Merry Christmas to others :3) Thanks for reading!
