HR set up the biggest holiday extravaganza of all time in the STAR Labs speedster room. Cisco was the first to arrive and nearly hit his head against the wall in frustration. "HR! What did I tell you about decorating STAR Labs?"
HR walked into the room, humming and holding a large cup of hot chocolate with a mountainous pile of whipped cream on top. "Uh... that I should do it more often?"
"No." Cisco groaned. "I said that it needs to stop."
"Oh." HR smiled widely. "Ok."
He turned and walked back out of the room, leaving Cisco to wonder if it was even possible to get through to that man.
Caitlin and Julian walked in next within the span of a few minutes. Caitlin looked around the room and then to Cisco. "He is going to clean this up, correct?"
Cisco rolled his eyes. "Well, I'm not gonna do it."
"Have some Christmas spirit, you two." Julian scolded, smiling around at the decorations. "If HR wants to decorate it doesn't hurt does it?"
At that moment, Barry came flashing into the Speedster Lab. He immediately slipped on some tinsel left lying on the floor, bounced of the tree, and got tangled in the Christmas lights.
"What the-?"
Julian sighed. "I take it back."
Caitlin echoed his sigh and moved toward Barry to help untangle him, but Cisco, closer to their entrapped friend, waved her off and went himself.
"How you manage to get yourself into these situations is beyond me." He muttered, unwrapped a string of lights from around Barry's ankle.
"Maybe that'll teach you to stop running everywhere." Julian grumbled, crossing his arms and looking over at Caitlin for support. "Do you know how much time during a day we waste picking up papers?"
Barry expression morphed from discombobulated to a mix between defensive and affronted. "It's not my fault you don't use paper weights!"
Caitlin's mouth pinched in obvious disagreement of who's fault it was. Barry knew that expression, and quickly looked for a subject change. He found one above Caitlin and Julian's heads.
"Mistletoe!"
"Pardon?" Julian asked, confused, as Caitlin looked above them.
Even after he kissed her quite soundly on the lips, which Cisco let out a loud catcall and Barry smirked, both of their faces were as red as the berries on the mistletoe above them.
Author's Note: If only...
Oh, and who else thought 4x09 was an amazing Caitlin arc?!
