Dont'cha just love Snowbarry/FlashFrost? I know I do :D
Anyway, I'm having SO MUCH FUN writing all this stuff for Snowbarry. I feel so motivated to do it and its just awesome.
So, I want to ask you guys a question about bringing in a particular character for this story for a later chapter - but we'll save that for the end. For now, let's get to the shippy goodness! Hope y'all enjoy! :D
Barry, Caitlin, and Cisco sat in the lab at this time, just discussing their plans of attack for when Cicada struck next.
"Man, it feels good," Cisco smiled.
"What feels good?" Barry asked.
"To have the OG gang, back solving crimes together," Cisco said, still smiling widely.
Caitlin beamed happily. "It does feel good."
This made Barry smile just about as widely. "Yeah, it really does."
Cisco's phone then buzzed. "Bummer, I gotta go see something real quick. Could you two wait here a minute?"
"Sure!" Barry smiled.
As Cisco ran off, Caitlin couldn't help but be happy about something... she and Barry were alone. In a room. Together. With no one else around, now that Cisco left.
She couldn't help but be happy. Something magical always seemed to happen when she and Barry were alone...
"Go and give him a hug," Frost suddenly said.
"W-Wha?" Caitlin stuttered, snapping out of her trance. "What now?"
"Did you say something, Cait?" Barry asked. "Or was that for Frost?"
"U-Uhm, f-for Frost," she said, trying to appear calm.
She then turned around in her chair once Barry nodded, and turned around himself. "What?!" she quietly whispered.
"You said to give him a hug whenever you felt like it!" Frost said. "And besides... I thought I was the one with the crush here."
Caitlin was just... weirded out. The past few days, Frost had been so cute and innocent with her crush on Barry... now she was back to her sassy self.
"Frost, I-I...I would love to hug Barry," she began. "But-"
"There's nothing stopping you, y'know," said Frost. "You can just walk up there and squeeze him. Who's gonna stop you, The Speed Force?"
Caitlin sighed loudly.
"Everything good, Cait?" Barry asked softly, now much closer to her.
"Yeah... Frost has just been a bit moody today," she sighed.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that," Barry said softly, now sitting down in one of the chairs. "Maybe... I could talk to her? Try and figure out what's going on?"
Caitlin smiled. Barry was so sweet and kind to do this for her...
Oh crap now she may actually have a crush on him.
"That would be lovely," she smiled. "Frost, time to play."
Frost then took the reigns from Caitlin, and smirked once she got out, free to stretch. "Hey there cutie. What's up?"
"I wanna know why you're being moody with Caitlin," Barry said softly. "Now don't take this the wrong way - I'm not mad at you. I just wanna know what's up."
Frost raised an eyebrow. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Barry couldn't help but chuckle... she was acting like a child caught in a lie. This was gonna be fun...
"So... you know, Caitlin's my friend," he began. "My best friend, actually. And I don't like to see her sad. So when I see her sad, I make it my personal mission to find out what's making her sad and fix that. Okay?"
"Okay..." Frost nodded, raising an eyebrow.
"And since it seems like you being moody about something is making her sad," Barry said, "maybe if you tell me what it is, I can try to make it better. Because you know what that will do?"
"Hmm?" Frost asked.
"That will make Cait happy!" he smiled. "And then I'll be happy, and you'll be happy!"
Frost was now happy. Dang it.
"So, why don't you go ahead and tell me what's bothering that pretty face of yours," he smiled.
Frost was blushing... he had just called her pretty again...
But she was ready to spill it all.
"Its that... well, Cait loves hanging out with you," Frost began. "And so do I. I don't know if I ever have more fun than when I hang out with you... but lately, since Cicada's been attacking more, there's been... less time for us. And its, well... making us both sad. And I wish we had more time... Barry, Cait loves being with you. Being around you. It makes her so happy... but Cicada's taking that from her. And its making me sad too..."
Barry sighed, taking in the words Frost had just said...
Then, he put his hand on her knee.
"Frost... I love spending time with Cait, and with you," he began. "And its made me sad too, that we can't have more time together. Which is why I'm gonna make a promise to you, right now - I will take down Cicada and make sure I do it fast. So that way, you and Cait and I can have more time together. We'll do everything we've wanted to do... and we'll do it soon. Because not only will Cicada pay for all the victims he has..."
He then paused.
"He's gonna pay for all the time he's stolen from me and you. Okay?"
Frost felt herself near tears at Barry's words... they were so gentle and sweet.
She then leaped into Barry's arms and hugged him tightly... as she did this, she retreated to the corners of Caitlin's mind so she could enjoy this hug too.
Caitlin was crying herself. They weren't bawls, they were just silent sobs - most of her tears fell within a few minutes.
Barry, however, still held onto her. He said such sweet things to her, and even hummed a soft melody as he rubbed her back in soothing circles.
"O-Oh Barry..." she whispered. "I can't thank you enough..."
"You don't have to," Barry smiled. "I feel thanked enough that you trust me to be your shoulder. I'm always here for you, Cait."
Caitlin then took a step back, and wiped her damp eyes. A few tears still stained her rosy cheeks, but she felt so much better.
"Thank you, Barry," Caitlin whispered once more.
"You're welcome," Barry smiled, patting her back.
"WOAH! What happened here?!"
They then turned around, and saw a very surprised Cisco walking into the lab. "Caitlin? Are you okay?"
"Yeah! I just... needed a good cry," she said, smiling as she wiped away some remaining tears. "Barry here was my shoulder."
"Aww, that's sweet of you," Cisco smiled.
"I'm always here for her," he said. "Hey... want me to go get some comfort food?"
They had no need of answering - he was back in less than ten seconds with some Big Belly Burger.
"Thank you again, Barry," Caitlin said. "You mean so much to me..."
"And you mean so much to me too," Barry smiled.
And with that, the trio began to dig in to the unhealthy meals they had.
Frost, meanwhile, just smiled from her little corner in Caitlin's mind...
This love would be worth waiting for.
