Hi everyone! I am so, so glad to finally be writing again! This is literally my first Flash fic ever, so please be nice. This is my therapy for this week's episode, because my little QuickWest and Snowbert heart broke. And also, you know, I'm trying to cope with WALLY! :-( So to make me feel better, here is how I wanted Valentines Day to go for Team Flash. This will vary from the episode a lot. As in, no Grodd a lot. Oh, and I am open to your pairing requests. This is mostly Snowbert, though.


H.R. grinned with delight. It was Friends Day! He brought the huge basket of decorations he bought a few days ago to the cortex. Caitlin and Cisco looked up. Cisco had insisted they get there before H.R. woke up to stop him from doing anything crazy. After all, Christmas did present a fully-decorated cortex.

"No, no, no," Cisco shook his head. "No way am I gonna let you hang those up."

"Good morning to you, too, Franchesco," greeted H.R. "Caitlin. Happy Friends Day!"

"Friends Day?" Caitlin repeated in confusion.

H.R. stopped waltzing around the room. "You don't have that here?"

"Well, today's usually called Valentines Day," explained Caitlin.

Cisco cut in before Caitlin and H.R. could go on a long discussion about Valentines Day. "Anyway, the point is, you will not decorate the cortex." To his surprise, H.R. didn't appear to be that disappointed.

"Well, OK!" The man bounded off, leaving the two scientists looking at each other in confusion.

"I was not expecting that."

Later, Cisco entered the speed lab. He was caught off-guard; he really hadn't been expecting H.R. to decorate this room, although, come to think of it, he should've. The 'decorator', as Cisco would now nickname him, was perched on top of a ladder, hanging a red heart across a wholerow of red hearts. "Holy - " he took a deep breath, then looked straight at H.R. "You are now, officially, the Decorator."

H.R. grinned as he called, "Well, thank you, Franchesco! Not to rub my own sweater, but some of these dazzling ornaments are homemade."

Cisco ignored the strange sweater comment, assuming that it was another weird figure of speech from Earth 19.

"H.R.," Cisco said sternly, forgetting the nickname, "put the decorations away. Now." He had to admit, he sounded a bit like his aunt.

H.R. pouted. "But I already put up so much!"

The scientist sighed as he looked around. "Where will Wally and Barry run?"

You know what, forget about his aunt, he sounded like his grandmother.

"Oh, they won't be stopped by these epitomes of passion," H.R. assured him. "Besides, they can phase. Wallace knows how to phase now." Cisco gritted his teeth, but stayed quiet. He didn't want others to know about the dislike he had for Valentines Day.

Caitlin entered, saying with a hint of annoyance, "Cisco, what's taking you so long? You said you were only going to..." she trailed off.

"Yup," said Cisco, knowing exactly how she was feeling.

"Happy Friends Day, Caitlin!" H.R. smiled. He interrupted before the meta-humans could correct him, "Yes, I know it's called Valentines on your Earth, but I've been using an amazing website called Google, so amazing, but anyway, it said that romantic relationships usually celebrate it. And since I'm your friend, I'm going to celebrate it as Friends Day. I'll leave Valentines Day to Julian."

Cisco hid a smirk at H.R.'s comment of Julian. It was also partially caused by Cait's light blush spreading across her face. "H.R., I already told you that Julian and I are just friends. Nothing more."

H.R. snorted with laughter, while Cisco said skeptically, "Really. Just friends?"

Caitlin glared at him. "Yes. And anyway, he's away on a trip."

H.R. raised his hand. "Um, if he's away, how come he's standing right behind you?"

Caitlin whipped around. "Julian!" The blonde man was clutching a beautiful bouquet of flowers, and grinning at her. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I wanted to surprise you," Julian held out the bouquet. "Happy Valentines Day."

"Just friends, huh?" Cisco teased the doctor with a whisper so Julian couldn't hear.

Caitlin glared at him and elbowed him in the ribs. Then she smiled sweetly, "Thank you so much, Julian. You didn't need to."

"Yes, I did," argued the Brit. "I know it means a lot to you."

After they hugged each other, Julian murmured, "Can we talk about something? In private?"

"Of course," replied Caitlin. Julian led her away.

"So, I overheard you talking with Cisco and H.R.," Julian began uncomfortably.

"Yeah..." encouraged Caitlin. She was becoming concerned.

"Well," the blonde turned his earnest blue eyes to meet her brown ones. "Is that really how you see us? As friends?"

Caitlin paused, unable to think of an answer. Finally, she responded with, "You are my friend, Julian, and you always will be."

"But...do you see us as 'just friends'?" Julian persisted.

The doctor sighed, averting her eyes. "I..."

"I realize I've been unclear in my intentions. All the dinners together, I never really clarified what they were. But, now, I'm asking. Caitlin Snow, will you go out with me?"

Caitlin bit her lip. "I'd love to, but every guy I love, he...he..." she shook her head. "I don't want it to happen to you."

Julian wasn't paying attention, except for the fact that Caitlin Snow had basically admitted her love for him. "You know what?" Julian asked her. She shook her head. "Literally the only thing I heard was love."

Caitlin laughed, although it wasn't as amusing as his steak proposal. "Julian Albert, you are too stubborn."

"And you, Caitlin Snow, are too good to be left alone," Julian held Caitlin's hands.

The moment was broken by Cisco yelling, "Yo! Lovebirds!"

The new couple rushed in. "What's wrong?" Caitlin asked, alarmed.

Cisco was grinning widely. "Nothing. I was just checking to see if you noticed I called you lovebirds."

Caitlin reddened, now fully understanding his motives. "Well!" Caitlin said loudly.

Julian continued her statement. "As a matter of fact, Caitlin and I are a couple now." He put an arm around Caitlin.

"Well, that's nice," came a familiar voice. Everyone turned to see Barry and Iris, their arms around each other. Iris hugged Caitlin. "Congratulations!" she exclaimed, delighted.

Barry grinned at the new couple. "Congratulations, you two!"

Caitlin nodded, her face lighting up with a huge smile identical to Julian's. "Thank you."

"I heard you took a leave from the lab today," said Barry, addressing Julian.

Caitlin stared at Julian disbelievingly. "You were absent from work?"

"Yeah, actually," Julian shrugged. He kissed Caitlin lightly on the lips. "Sorry, was that out of line? I just wanted to show you that you're worth it."

Caitlin laughed and kissed Julian again. "It's fine by me," she murmured.

This was starting to be the best Valentines Day in a long, long time.


How do you like it? I will be updating every two weeks for this one. I apologise, because the ending was rushed, but I wanted to post this already. I will be publishing another story next week, and I am willing to take requests in which fandom I will write it in. If I don't get any requests, I will post it in the Doctor Who fandom.

Please review!
