Hello everyone, this is my first oneshot! I just recently joined an amazing Snowbert forum and everyone there is doing a prompt based on Snowbert, so here is the prompt I chose!

Prompt: Somebody spills coffee on the other

This is an AU without powers. Caitlin is a regular doctor getting a morning coffee and happens to arrive at Jitters at the same time as Julian, a new CSI who just moved to Central City from Britain.


Caitlin leaned up against a table, waiting for her espresso order to be called. Jitters was a very popular cafe, and for good reason. Their drinks and pastries were made to absolute perfection. Today, however, was exceptionally busy.

At this rate I'll be late to the hospital... Caitlin checked the time anxiously. She was a surgeon, and a good one too. She was never late and always did her best to make her patients as happy as possible. The line to order was growing by the minute, and Caitlin's patience was deteriorating.

"Julian?" the barista called, and Caitlin's frustration only grew.

Wasn't I here before him? She thought to herself angrily. A man, blonde and with the same look of annoyance on his face, stepped forward to grab his drink. Caitlin looked away, staring up at the ticking clock. With a sigh, she decided her usual morning coffee wasn't worth being late. Being late meant a delayed operation, and that just couldn't happen. She spun on her heel and marched towards he door, ready to race to work, when SPLAT.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" A British voice gasped, "You came out of nowhere!" Caitlin glared at his cup, the name Julian was written on it. Half of his drink now stained her blouse. She would never get it out. For a moment, all she did was stand there, too stunned to speak.

"Watch where you're going!" She finally snapped, staring him straight in his blue eyes with her furious chocolaty brown pair. She was about to shove past him and get to her car, hoping she had some sort of jacket or sweater to cover up the mess, when he grabbed her hand. She wrenched it out of his grip and was surprised to see him taking off his own jacket.

"That was so clumsy of me, take this." he shoved the jacket into her hands. She took it, awkwardly staring at him. before slipping it on and zipping it up to hide the stains.

"How will I get it back to you?"

"Meet me here tomorrow morning? Same time?"

"Sure."

"I'm Julian, by the way."

"And I'm late." Caitlin storms out of the cafe.

-(Time Jump)-

"Thanks for letting me borrow this yesterday." Caitlin sighs as she hands the jacket back to Julian. She had been late to work by five minutes. She had been livid.

"It's really no problem," Julian says as he takes it back, "The whole thing was my fault."

"Well... I wasn't paying attention either," Caitlin says, "And I'm sorry if I had been rude. I've never been late to work... except for yesterday." Julian offers an awkward smile.

"Could I get you a coffee? To make up for it?" He offers, and Caitlin blushes.

"Actually... I've already ordered."

"What about tomorrow?"

"You really don't have to-"

"I want to." He grins, and Caitlin can't help but give in to that awkward smile of his.

"Alright," She nods, "Same time?"

"Same time," he agrees, "Er- I never got your name."

"I'm-"

"Caitlin?" The barista calls her order, holding up a large cup with her name on it.

Finally. She thinks to herself.
