A/N: So this is a VERY short filler chapter.
I have been hit by school like a bullet train and so far in the past week I have had more math homework than my siblings (who don't go to the same school as me) get in a year, a set of literature questions and a vocab sheet, I have 10-15 minutes of language a night, and I fear to depress you with more details about my schedule.
WHY SCHOOL? WHY MUST YOU TAKE UP MORE THAN EIGHT HOURS OF MY LIFE 7 DAYS A WEEK?!
Also, I took more homework yesterday in order to see Age of Ultron today.
Ugh, I can't decide whether I ship Vision/Scarlet Witch (I'm like 60% on this ship) or Hawkeye/Scarlet Witch, but he's married. With kids.
I can't wreck a home.
Barry's POV
I gently lift Caitlin onto the bed in the cortex, watching her unconscious pale face.
I bring up an chair next to her bedside, and brush away a piece of hair that had fluttered onto her face.
Suddenly, I wanted to talk to her. I wanted her to smile and laugh and be the Caitlin she always is for me.
I suppose being in love with someone makes almost everything cheesy.
"Barry!" Cisco runs into the cortex. I hold up a hand.
"The tin can needed a brain."
"The lioness needed a heart." He replies, all keeping with the secret code.
"Seal the door." I tell him, and he does.
"Call Ray and Oliver."
"I have Roy and Ray on speed dial. Hmm, Roy and Ray, Raoy, Roay..-"
"Cisco."
"Sorry." He goes off into the storeroom, closing the door behind him.
I take Caitlin's hand, trying to relive the kiss in my mind.
She turned around, her hair swinging in slow motion like in all those Disney princess movies.
Her eyes search mine, waiting, watching, I'll never know.
I draw her up against me.
Her hands splay out against my chest-
"Barry?" Comes a sweet little rasp, more welcome than not.
Caitlin's eyes are open, and she's looking back at me expectantly.
"Uh..." I start.
I can almost see the memories rushing back into her head.
"I...um, I have to go." She runs out of the bed and out the door at a pace that would put me to shame.
I'm going away this weekend (again) so I have more time to write, in between studying for my science test and doing other things (while up, my parent-and-a-half expect me to participate in almost EVERYTHING they do) plus my younger siblings under ten are coming back from a trip to Japan. (I couldn't go due to my supposed mental health issues.) Well, I missed having my own bathroom while it lasted.
