"Do I make you feel uncomfortable?" She asked while staring at the man, who was currently drying his rain-soaked hair with a dark red towel.
He looks up at her and flashes her his boyish grin that always made her heart skip a couple of beats.
"No. What makes you ask that?" The man replied back while pulling off his pair of Converse and gray socks.
-earlier-
Caitlin Snow was dressed in a simple white shirt and blue cotton shorts, lying on the green leather couch with a bowl of popcorn on top of her stomach. Her doe brown eyes fixed at the wide flat screen playing another episode of her favorite TV show.
This semester is finally over, thank the gods above. She thought while turning off the tv, suddenly too lazy to even bother binge watching the shows on her endless list of unwatched tv series.
She sat up on the couch, munching on her bowl of popcorn while having a million thoughts about just anything. From thousands of readings in Biology, the stress inducing reports, the exhilarating PE class of track and field,
To her ever comical and sweet curly-haired best friend who loves to binge read comic books and the stupidly gorgeous and attractive track and field star who was also her roommate and best friend and… something more.
Caitlin scolded herself, thinking of his alluring sea green eyes that reminded her of a demigod, his wind tousled hair that she loved playing with, his boyish grin and handsome smirk that causes her to turn beet red, and everything about him.
"Funny how all of my best memories in CCU includes him and the season of spring. The season where I met him, befriended him, unconsciously liked him, then it was history."
She smiled to herself when the heavy thumping on her roof broke her reverie.
Looking outside, Caitlin frowned and thought worriedly,
Where is he? The heavy rain showers of April have started. I hope he's on his way home.
After an hour of worrying and texting him, the rain hasn't stopped pouring, a knock gets her attention and causes the auburn-haired woman to dash to the door and swing it wide open.
Standing in front of Caitlin was a handsome man drenched in rain, his clothes sticking to his body, hand scratching the back of his neck, and mouth twisted into a sheepish smile.
"Hey, you. I should've brought an umbrella. Rain's hard, you know." He said with a soft chuckle while she rolled her eyes and grabbed his free hand, "As much as I want to say I told you so, you need to get dry. Come inside.", dragging him inside the apartment.

"I know your busy drying yourself, I told you to bring an umbrella but you refused to listen. Even boasting that you can outrun the rain, but can I ask you something important?" Caitlin asked the man.
A chuckle escapes his mouth, "Yes, I'm sorry. I can't outrun everything. Go ask. As long as that is not a question about how disappointed you are at me for not listening to you."
She rolled her eyes and cleared her throat, "You'll hear more about that, later."
He pouts at her, "You're pretty."
"I know." Caitlin replied, smirking at his defeated sigh.
"Do I make you feel uncomfortable?" Caitlin asked while staring at the man, who was currently drying his rain-soaked hair with a dark red towel.
He looks up at her and flashes her his boyish grin that always made her heart skip a couple of beats.
"No. What makes you ask that?" The man replied back while pulling off his pair of Converse and gray socks.
She sighs and places her bowl of popcorn on their coffee table, crossing her arms above her chest.
"Well, you are well aware and acquainted with my cold demeanor and sometimes emotionless reactions. I mean, yes we've been roommates for a year and a half and became really close to the point we violated our rule of no making out on the sofa."
A soft chuckle causes her to blush, "Not the main point, but you get it, right? I'm the type of person that could make someone uncomfortable because I can be too intimidating? I'm quiet most of the times and could also give the chilliest glares unconsciously or when I want to."
She turns to the man, watching him unbutton his green shirt then turning to her and with a teasing smirk,
"Cait, if I remember correctly, I'm the one who rambles out words more often. It sounds nice and cute that you ramble sometimes."
Caitlin huffs at his statement, "Bartholomew Henry Allen, again, not the main point."
He grins at her while continuing to remove his top, "Still, it's a point. And you don't make me feel uncomfortable, baby cakes."
The auburn-haired woman shook her head in exasperation, "Stop calling me that!"
Glaring at Barry, her breath hitches at the sight of his slim and lean body then noticing her hands undoing his zipper.
Barry looks at her and winks, "I won't be undressing myself and showing my gorgeous body that you love if you make me feel uncomfortable."
Speechless at his words and the sight, Caitlin watched him with her mouth closing and opening animatedly like a fish.
"I'm not uncomfortable when I'm with you, Caitlin Snow. I'm proud, extremely happy, and contented because of you. You don't make anyone feel uncomfortable, Cait."
Warmth coats her face, "Well, with you just staring and gaping at me, I do feel a little uncomfortable being watched like a delectable treat that you can't wait to devour."
Her eyes widened, "Should I drop my pants and underwear here too, baby cakes?" Caitlin closes her eyes and grabs a pillow, throwing at Barry who barely dodges it.
"Go take your bath, Allen!" She stood up, walking away from the laughing form of her annoying and adorable boyfriend.
Barry Allen was drinking a warm mug of hot chocolate while watching his girlfriend walking around their kitchen and making a pot full of chicken broth.
"Thank you, Dr. Snow." He told her with a warm smile as she placed a bowl of chicken broth in front of him. Caitlin rolled her eyes and sat across him, "I'm not yet a doctor but you're welcome."
Barry chuckles at her statement, "But you will be a doctor, a brilliant and amazing doctor." She offers a soft smile, "I hope I do."
A chuckle escapes her mouth at the sight of him getting burnt by the soup, "What's with the dreadful tone?" He asked, fanning his poor tongue that got burnt by the soup.
Caitlin gazes at him and releases a sigh, "I just feel that I won't become a doctor. I mean I study well and hard, I'm serious with everything I do in my course."
"But, there's a thought inside me that holds me back and as if tells me that I won't be a doctor." She told the man, who was enjoying his chicken soup while listening intently to her.
Barry grabs her hand and squeezes it, "Hey you're overthinking stuff again, Cait. Relax, will you? I mean, we're just sophomores of the course we've taken."
"There's still a lot of things to do and achieve, but also things to enjoy and treasure. Don't overthink it, Caitlin Snow, you're a brilliant woman that I'm lucky enough to meet and have in my life."
He grins at Caitlin, "You'll be a doctor, I believe it. You should too, baby cakes."
She rolled her eyes and squeezed his hand back, "Thank you, Barry, for the small speech. It really helped me a lot."
Barry chuckles, "Anyway, how's the best track star athlete doing?"
Caitlin asked him while taking a sip of her hot chocolate, "Well, he's still gorgeous and doing just fine. Thanks for the concern, I'll let him know, Cait."
He grins cheekily at her, who rolled her eyes and sighs, "Barry. I'm serious."
He laughs, "I am too. Training's all good, Coach Miles is actually encouraging me to try and join a contest. I told him I'll think about it and…"
The auburn-haired woman raises an eyebrow, "And?"
Barry sheepishly smiles at her, "And… what do you think about it?"
Caitlin giggles at him, "I think you should go try and join it. You love the feeling of running right? You told me, you felt invincible and that you can do anything when you're running? So, go for it. Run to your heart's content."
He grins but releases a sigh, "What if I don't win?"
She flashes him her sweet smile, "You'll still have me to nurse your broken heart. That's still a win, Barry."
Shades of red and pink coats his face as he chuckles loudly at her statement, "I agree, that is still a win."
The doe brown eyed woman seats next to him, "Winning is not everything, giving your best is."
Barry nods at her, "You'll still be my number one fan? My cheerleader?"
Caitlin bites her lip, "Well…"
He pulls her closer to himself, eyes wide in fear, "Caitlin!"
She laughs and places a sweet kiss on his cheek, "I'm kidding, Allen. I'll always be your number one fan."
Sighing in relief, he engulfs her in a warm hug and inhaling her sweet vanilla scent.
Caitlin returns his warm hug while slowly kissing his neck and lightly nibbling it. Light groans escaping his mouth, she felt his hands rubbing her waist.
"Cait…" Barry groaned in a soft tone.
She continued her actions, making sure to mark every inch and part of the skin then pulling away while gazing at his hickey decorated neck and his green eyes shining with want and need.
Her eyes stared at his lips and in a flash, Caitlin had her hands around his gorgeous face while her lips were pressed with his. He kisses back with equal ferocity, biting her lower lip causing the woman on top of him to release guttural sounds.
From lips moving in sync to tongues engaged in a battle of dominance; Barry carries Caitlin, who wraps her legs around his torso, to their living room.
He lays Caitlin down on the couch, watching the rise and fall of her chest and eyes with a darker shade; "You look breath-taking, Cait."
Barry mumbles causing her to flush red, "No making out on the sofa." She retorted with a teasing smile.
The man on top of her chuckles, "Oops, we did it again." He singsongs at her then dives right back in to resume their make out session.
Her hands start pulling the strands of his brown hair as Barry moved down to her neck returning back the favor she did, with pleasure.
Then his hands start to crawl around her sides causing soft giggles to escape her mouth that turned into breathy moans when Barry starts to rub the sides of her chest.
"Barry… Please, just do it." Caitlin breathes out, unable to withstand the torture done by this handsome man. He looks at her and smirks, "Please, what? Use your words, baby."
She moans loudly as Barry completely grasps her right breast, "What's wrong? The top one of her class can't form a coherent imperative sentence? My my, how embarrassing."
He teased with a goofy grin causing her to glare at him then hisses in pleasure when Barry started to kiss her stomach.
Caitlin looks down, eyes staring at Barry, who was in between her legs and was hungrily kissing her exposed stomach.
He looks up at her, grinning widely, "Still speechless, my love?"
She moans in defeat, "Bedroom. Now."
Barry wriggles out her legs with a final kiss to her stomach and puts his face closer to hers, his breath tickling her face.
"Believe me, I would love too, baby cakes. But, it's past my bedtime." He told her and kissed Caitlin's wide eyed and confused face.
"What?" She asks in confusion and exasperation, gazing at his retreating form.
"Nothing." He replies back while walking away from her, who was still lying on the couch.
Barry smiles to himself, "Just a little payback from your hesitation earlier about being my number one fan. Well, see you tomorrow."
Caitlin sat up on the couch, eyes filled with frustration, "Bartholomew Henry Allen!"
He looks back and raises an eyebrow at her expression, "What? I need to have enough sleep, doc. We'll talk tomorrow. When you're not that frosty anymore."
Before she could say anything, Barry dashes inside his room and locked his door; his loud and annoying laughter echoing inside the room.
The aspiring doctor collapses on the couch, groaning in disbelief but giggling lightly at his adorably annoying boyfriend.
"I hate that I still love you, Barry Allen." She told herself before going to her room, kicking Barry's door while rolling her eyes.
Caitlin Snow was staring at her mirror, confused on what to feel about her new look thanks to her boyfriend's stupid dare.
Am I starting to question my decisions in life? She asked herself, sighing in defeat.
"Barry? Remind me again why I agreed to your nonsensical dare regarding my final exams?" She asked in a disappointed tone while walking outside the bathroom.
"Because you can't resist me and you were also curious of how we'll look with our matching hair dye?" Barry, who was currently watching a basketball game, replied.
He looks at her and grins widely, "You look beautiful as ever, baby cakes."
From her normal auburn brown hair, Caitlin was now sporting a bright and pastel mixture of green, pink, and blue curly hair thanks to the hair dye bought by her roommate.
"I actually don't care anymore if what you're saying is the truth, just sweet talk, or just annoying me but of all colors you chose these." She complained and shook her head in annoyance.
Barry raises an eyebrow at her, lightly cheering as his favored team scores ahead the other one.
"What? We look so… colorful. Like a rainbow, with all of its colors?" He suggested with a wide grin.
Caitlin looks at his former brown hair, now looking like a cotton candy with mixtures of the same color as her hair.
"For real?" She asked the man who cheers once more at a three-point shot.
Barry turns to her and smirks, "What? You agreed to my dare. Your fault for acing your final exams just like how I expected you to do."
She crosses her arms, "Am I to blame to for wanting to have good grades?"
He shakes his head and shrugs, "Nope. And I'm not to blame of our amazing new hair color."
A sigh escapes her lips as she sat down beside him, trying to watch the basketball game and remembering their silly conversation about the aforementioned dare.
~flashback~
"Tell you what, if you ace your exams, we would dye our hair with a color of my choice." Barry said with a grin.
Caitlin rolled her eyes, "What do you think of me? A computer AI that can ace any exam?"
He nods at her, "Yes? I'll give you a nickname… like 'Gideon'."
She sighs, "Whatever. But if I don't ace my exams, you'll be dyeing your hair with a color of my choice."
Barry grins at her, "Deal, baby cakes."
And in that moment, Caitlin knew, she fucked up with agreeing to him.
~end of flashback~
"Love what you did to your hair, looks like some sort of unicorn poop." Cisco commented while munching on a corn dog watching as the athletes line up on the starting point.
Caitlin glances at him with a small smile, "Wow. Thank you for describing my and Barry's hair as 'unicorn poop'."
The curly haired man laughs at her, "To be honest, I was jealous because you two didn't invite me to this dare. Then I realized, I'll be a third wheeling unicorn poop."
She playfully smacks his arm, "Well, at least half of our classmates found this… cute and adorable in some way."
Caitlin remembered the first time they arrived together in CCU, adorning their new crowning glory.
Oh my god! They look so cute!
Snowbarry!
Caitlin and Barry's hair reminds me of Taylor Swift's new song!
"Snowbarry and unicorn poop, a wonderful combination, my dear friend." Cisco told her, who laughs and smiles widely.
Bartholomew Henry Allen, you better win this race. She thought while looking at the contestants, hoping to make eye contact with her unicorn poop roommate.
His emerald green eyes met hers, a wide grin greeting her. Caitlin smiled back and whispered,
Run, Barry, run.

"Barry! Congrats, man!" Ralph Dibny greeted as he bumped fists with the winner of the race. Barry chuckles, "Thanks, man." He looks down at himself, smiling widely at the sight of his shiny gold medal.
"Congrats to the Flash! The unicorn poop hair suits you well, dude." He looks up and grins at the sight of Cisco and Caitlin, grinning back at him.
The aspiring engineer gives him a warm hug which he gladly returned. Cisco and Ralph leaves after a while of chatting at the stadium's grounds,
"See? You won, baby cakes. Congratulations." Caitlin greeted with a smirk.
Barry laughs at her, "Thanks for believing in me, Cait."
She smiles at him, "Always."
"Thank you for the unicorn poop hair, as Cisco named it." Caitlin told him, as the pair walked outside the stadium and towards the wide grounds of Central City University.
He chuckles at her, "My pleasure. Thank you for agreeing, we started a fashion trend."
She laughs and gazed at the bright grin that Barry had, her heart happy and contented.
Caitlin grabs hold of his hand, "So, what should we do during our spring break?"
Barry grins at her, "Go on a road trip? Watch movies and chill? Dye our hair another color? The possibilities are endless, baby cakes."
She giggles at his suggestions, "Anything, as long as I have you by my side, baby cakes."
He smiles, "Always. Spring is coming and we have a lot of plans to do."
Spring, the season and reason we met, is coming.
