Summary: Green doesn't suit you, Mr. Allen. She said with a teasing smile.

An enthusiastic chat was happening between Julian Albert and STAR Labs resident doctor, Caitlin Snow. Both of the scientists were exchanging wide smiles and sweet laughter while working on the new metahuman that showed up.

As the pair continued talking, a certain speedster was standing beside a curly haired man. His mouth was set in a hard line, eyebrows furrowed and glancing at Julian and Caitlin from time to time.

The curly haired man chuckled as he looked up from his computer then glancing at the speedster, "Barry, could you stop being the Grinch? Green doesn't suit you. That's why I made your suit red, bro."

Barry blinks and looks at the curly haired man, an annoyed stare at him. "Very funny, Cisco." He chuckles and looks at his best friend who was laughing with Julian, "Ohh, at first I was wary of Julian. But now, they kinda look cute together. Don't you think, Barry?"

He huffs and grits his teeth at Cisco's teasing, Cute? Too cute to be true. He can't have Cait! She's mine! Then realization hits him, What am I talking about? I'm not her boyfriend! Wait, I'm her best friend! So, I can still tell her to think about being with Albert! Ha!

"I'll go home, Cait. It was nice to see you again." The pair walked to Barry and Cisco, all smiles. Julian nods at the two, "Take care, Cisco, Allen. I'll see you at the CCPD Ball." Cisco waves his hand while Barry nods with a forced smile.

He looks at Caitlin once again, smiling widely. Caitlin chuckles and smiles back warmly which made Barry scoff and frown. Cisco on the other hand tries his best no to burst out laughing.

Julian leaves the trio, "So, there's a Christmas Ball in CCPD?" Barry nods at Cisco, "Yep. Captain Singh wanted to have it, since it's been a good year." Caitlin smiles, "I think it's a good idea, have a little bit of Christmas joy around the police force of Central City."

Barry smiles at her while Cisco chuckles, "Speaking of Christmas joy, you seem to be having the best time with Julian, huh?" Silently, Barry elbows Cisco who groans dramatically, "Ouch! Don't elbow me, Barry!"

He looks at him with narrowed eyes but Cisco just innocently grins at him. The doctor nonetheless blushes at the statement causing the speedster to frown again.

"It's good to talk and see him again." Caitlin replies with a small smile while Cisco grins and Barry, silently grumbles. She glances at Barry, noticing his discomfort, "Everything all right, Barr?"

Barry looks back at her, eyes wide and chuckles, "What? Oh, I'm fine, Cait. Just a little… jumpy. I guess."

The curly haired man giggles, "Sure you are." Barry looks at him, grumbling lightly while Cisco laughs quietly.

Caitlin nods and smiles at Barry, "Oh, Barry, can I talk to you about something?" The speedster nods and looks at her with concern, "Is everything alright, Cait?"

Cisco, sensing this is a cue for him to leave, stands up and bids goodbye, "I'll go home. See you guys tomorrow!" He leaves his two best friends, grinning widely. A jealous Barry and oblivious Caitlin, how romantic.

The pair were walking down the halls of STAR Labs, talking about their favorite Christmas memories when they were a child.

"Seriously, you haven't experienced a snowball fight?!" Barry asks incredulously causing Caitlin to laugh at him. "Yes, despite my last name being Snow and having the powers to form snow, I still haven't experienced a proper snowball fight."

The speedster nods and smirks at her, "Guess me and Cisco needs to properly acquaint you to snowball fighting." Caitlin giggles and smirks at him, "I think I can beat the two of you, easily, Mr. Allen."

Barry chuckles at her reply, "A bold statement, Dr. Snow." The pair laughed and Barry looks at her, smiling brightly and laughing.

She's so beautiful. Warmth spreads on his face, clearing his throat. Caitlin looks at him, "About the thing I want to talk about to you… it's about Julian and the CCPD Ball."

His wide smile abruptly drops, "What about it?" Barry asks, trying hard not to sound too harsh or rude. Did he… Please no.

Caitlin bites her lip, "Well, Julian invited me to come to the ball… as his date." As the words escape her mouth, Barry felt an incredible rage spreads through his body.

He huffs, "Oh. That's good." She looks at him, feeling a little bit shy because of the topic. Caitlin nods slowly, "I told him that I'll think about it. I wanted to know… if it's alright for you?"

Of course not! Julian's a great guy but you deserve someone more special. Someone who knows you more and deeper enough! More accustomed to your cold personality and knows almost everything about you!

Like me! We've been through too much, that I want you to be happy. Besides, I should be your date! We have more chemistry and… I like you! I'm the one to blame, being silent after all those years.

"Barry?" Caitlin asks, concern written all over her face and touched his shoulder. He blinks and laughs, "Sorry, I was just thinking about things. Of course, I'm fine with it! The two of you seem comfortable with each other, anyway."

He smiles warmly while Caitlin still looks at him with concern, "Okay. It's late. I'll go home, Barry." She pulls him to a hug which he returns warmly. Barry sighs in the hug, I like you, Cait.

She starts walking to the elevator and smiled at Barry as the doors close, Caitlin sighs and frowns at the metal door. Guess, I was wrong. Hoping that Barry likes me? Such wishful thinking, Caitlin Snow.

~the next day~

"So, you pretended that you were fine with Cait being Julian's date despite you secretly liking her and being super jealous about their interactions." Cisco said while eating a lollipop.

Barry sighs and runs his hands through his hair, "I know. It sounds really bad, man. I just… can't risk our friendship! What if she doesn't like me back?"

Cisco chuckles at him, "She likes you or she won't kiss Everyman!Barry back!" The speedster's eyes widened, "What?!" The curly haired man sighs, "Watch this."

The speedster was seating inside Caitlin's lab, still not believing what he had just watched minutes ago.

I stumbled on that accidentally. At first, I was shocked why would Caitlin kiss Everyman. Then, I realized that maybe she kissed Everyman back because she thought it was you. Cisco explained while Barry had his feelings all mixed and shaken.

Caitlin enters the lab squealing lightly at the sight of him, "Barry! What are you doing here?" Barry looks at her, who was shifting uncomfortably on her feet.

"Why did you kiss Everyman back?" Her eyes widened at his question, What?! How… She looks at him with wide eyes, "H-H-How did you find about that?!" Barry explains how Cisco stumbled upon it and showed it to him.

She nods, "Remind me to delete it later." Caitlin was about to leave her lab but her arm was grabbed by Barry, stopping her.

"Why did you kiss Everyman back?!" Barry demanded while Caitlin turns to him, eyes filled with anger.

"Because I thought it was you! I thought that Barry Allen was kissing me! I was surprised but slowly I realized that I liked Barry Allen!" She confessed at him angrily.

She shakes off his grip, "And my wishful thinking was stupid. Because why would you even like me? Right? You were in love with Iris, Patty, Linda and I was just a friend."

Barry gapes at her, still processing her words. "I should've stopped liking you but as the years pass by, my feelings didn't fade. Even with Julian in the scene, my heart is still yearning for you."

Caitlin sighs in exasperation and was about leave her lab again but Barry pulls her back.

"Barry! Pl—" Her eyes widened, feeling a pair of soft lips pressing against hers. His hands pull snake to her waist, pulling her closer to his body. Caitlin slowly closes her eyes, running her hands through his hair.

The pair continued kissing, knocking some of the medical equipment but paying no attention besides their lips that are lip locked together and moving in complete sync.

The two walked out of the medbay, clothes disheveled and hand clasped together. "I like you, Caitlin. I was just unsure of confessing, I didn't want to destroy our friendship." She smiles at him, "I like you too, Barry. I understand at least now, we both know our friendship won't be destroyed."

The pair laughed and they looked around the lab, "How about we decorate the—" As the words left Caitlin's mouth, Barry flashed around the lab and placed Christmas decorations.

He got back beside Caitlin, grinning smugly, "You were saying, Dr. Snow?" Caitlin looks around, seeing a Christmas tree, stockings, mistletoes, Christmas lights and tinsels around the lab.

She looks at him and rolled her eyes, "Mr. Showoff Allen." The two shared a hearty laugh once more, happy for the brand-new stage of their relationship.

Green doesn't suit you, Mr. Allen. Caitlin Snow said as she walked back to his date after dancing with Julian. Barry felt his cheeks burn bright red, I'm not jealous. I'm your date. She laughs as they walk to middle, Yes, you are.

A/N: Jealous Barry is the best haha. Maybe a Jealous Caitlin next time? ;) Thanks for reading!
