After reading so many Flash stories, I have decided to finally write my own. So many authors on this site have inspired me to write, some including Loveandcoffeeandsimplicities and heroherondaletotherescue. I absolutely love their stories and could read them over and over. They were the reason why I decided to write a one shot series.

My stories will probably revolve around Barry and Caitlin, and even though I love Iris and Barry together, I ship Snowbarry just a bit more. I hope I won't disappoint you guys with the content I publish.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Flash or any of the characters associated unless created by me.

Heavy breaths could be heard as they echoed around the empty lab, the sounds practically bouncing off the walls. Any clutter on the desk was moved to the floor as their bodies landed on the hard surface, their legs nearly tangled together. Hands gripping hips, fingers threading through hair and lips pressed together, the duo was so entranced with each other they didn't hear footsteps approach until a voice called out, "Caitlin! Barry!"

Lighting crackled as the speedster moved Caitlin to Cisco's computer, creating the pretense that she had been there the entire time. Making sure the mess they had made was off the floor, Barry stopped beside the brunette, collapsing onto the chair just as Cisco waltzed into the Cortex. Lollipop in his mouth, his words were muffled as he asked, "What were you guys doing? I've been texting you all morning."

Caitlin could feel her cheeks heat up, the blush spreading down her neck. She hoped Cisco wouldn't notice. "Sorry, dude. Caitlin was just running some routine tests." Barry answered, much to Caitlin's relief. Could anyone else hear her heart pounding? "Guess we didn't hear our phones. What's up?"

"I thought we were meeting at the airstrip to train. But then you two," he pointed his spit covered lollipop at them. "ditched me. Thanks for that, by the way. I love spending time alone on an abandoned airstrip. Really makes my day." Sarcasm was dripping with each word.

"Okay, we get it. We're sorry." Caitlin apologized, resting her hands on Cisco's shoulders. "How about we head there now and get Big Belly Burger after? My treat."

"Though tempting, I think I'm gonna pass." A sly smirk suddenly bloomed across his face, and he wiggled his eyebrows. "I got a date with Emily, that new barista at Jitters."

"Ooh, nice." Barry touched his fist with Cisco's outstretched one, both men wearing similar smirks. Caitlin rolled her eyes. Men, she thought.

"And guess what? She has a sister, if you know what I mean?"

Caitlin felt a flare of jealousy and anger at Cisco's insinuation, while Barry just looked flustered. The brunette knew she had no reason to be upset at her best friend, especially because he had no clue about their relationship. Keeping her romantic relationship with Barry a secret from Cisco and the rest of the team was the hardest thing to do. They were going on five months together, and each day was a struggle.

The only time they had privacy was when Barry would stop by his girlfriend's apartment. Sneaking kisses and long hugs around Star Labs just wasn't cutting it anymore. They just didn't want to deal with the questions and the awkwardness the others would feel once they found out. Falling for each other was unexpected, but they wouldn't change anything.

Caitlin was slowly falling in love with Barry Allen.

She never thought she would find someone after Ronnie- she definitely wasn't looking. But hell, she was so incredibly happy she did.

"Did you hear what I just said?" Cisco's eyebrows rose in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard. Barry didn't want to go out with a girl? "Are you sick?"

Barry swatted the hand that was reaching for his forehead. "I'm not sick, Cisco." He chuckled awkwardly, his hand reaching to scratch the back of his neck. Was it getting warm in here? "I just don't want to go out with a random girl."

Cisco sighed dramatically, plopping down on the chair behind him and kicking his feet up onto the console. "You're so picky, man. One date won't kill you. Besides, if it goes down hill, you can always come up with an excuse to ditch."

"Barry's too much of a gentleman to ditch a girl in the middle of a date," Caitlin cut in, not wanting to keep silent throughout the entire conversation. She didn't want Cisco thinking her silence was odd. "If you boys don't mind, I'm gonna head home. I didn't sleep well last night."

Or at all, Barry thought, internally smirking. He knew for a fact she hadn't slept at all, because he hadn't either. It was a good night.

Adorned in sweats and fuzzy sucks, Caitlin was making herself a cup of tea when the familiar whoosh of her boyfriend's speed snuck up on her. She let the teabag settle in the bottom of the mug before turning to face the speedster. "I see you're done talking with Cisco."

Barry raised his hands up in surrender, a slight guilty look on his face. "Hey, it's not like I brought it up. And what did you want me to say? 'Sorry, dude, but I already have a girlfriend. You might know her; she's your best friend.' Yeah, that wouldn't end well."

Caitlin grasped the steaming hot mug in her hand. "I know, but I hate keeping this from him."

"I thought we agreed we wouldn't tell anyone yet because we didn't want to deal with their questions."

"I know, but," letting out a sigh, Caitlin rested her forehead on his chest, wrapping one arm around his waist since her other one was occupied with her drink. "I didn't realize how hard this would be."

"I know," Barry let his lips graze the top of her head, his arms wounding around her shoulders. "We'll tell him soon, I promise."

Tilting her head back to look up at him, she smiled. Barry smiled in return and dipped his head down to press his lips against hers, lifting his hands to gently cup her face. Every kiss they shared always sent tingles down her spine and had her craving more. If she wouldn't die from lack of oxygen, she would gladly spend the rest of her life kissing Barry. For someone who was inexperienced with girls, he sure knew how to kiss.

"How do you think Iris will handle it? She didn't want you keeping anymore secrets from her after she found out you were the Flash."

"Let's just say once I tell her, I'm running for my life."

Loud laughter escaped Caitlin, and soon Barry was joining in, the couple unable to wipe the grins off their faces.

Fighting metahumans had become a daily occurrence for the team at Star Labs, not one single person flinching whenever the alarm blared throughout the Cortex. They had become so accustomed to the noise, but that didn't mean they didn't get tired of all the attacks. So when they arrived at the lab that morning, the piercing alarm going off a few moments later, they couldn't hold back their groans.

"Damn it," Cisco muttered, hurrying towards the computer. With a few quick strokes on the keyboard, the main monitor in the lab was projected with video feed from the Central City bank, where a robbery was currently occurring.

"Maybe the police can handle it," Caitlin said, as they continued to watch the screen. Barry was about to agree, only to clamp his mouth shut when one of the robbers outstretched his hand. They watched as the banker behind the desk was lifted into the air, her hands clawing at her throat as she struggled to breathe.

In a flash, Barry was gone, as was his suit.

"I really thought today would be a calm day." Cisco commented, turning off the video feed. He reached into the drawer beside him and pulled out a bag of jelly beans, popping a few in his mouth.

"In our line of work, we'll never have a calm day." Caitlin took her place behind her computer, eyes watching Barry's vitals. It was never easy watching Barry fight or listening to his moans of pain as he took a hit, but her worry skyrocketed once they officially got together. When someone you care for, love, was hurt, nothing else mattered but that person. She couldn't bear the thought of losing Barry, not after suffering from the pain of losing Ronnie. Though she had moved on from her first love, the pain never lessened. There would always be a piece of her that loved Ronnie.

A sudden groan over the comm. link spurred Caitlin out of her thoughts, and she once again focused on Barry's vitals. They were dipping slightly. "Barry, are you okay?"

"Meta broke my leg," pain was evident in his voice, and his breathing was heavy. "But I got him."

"Stay where you are, don't run." She looked at Cisco, who nodded. Outstretching his fist, the bright portal opened and he hurried through, returning a moment later with Barry, his face scrunched up in discomfort, and the unconscious meta. Caitlin rushed towards her boyfriend, slinging Barry's arm around her shoulder and leading him towards the bed in the medical bay. While Caitlin focused on Barry's injury, Cisco carried the rogue meta to the pipeline.

After capturing an x-ray of Barry's leg, and noting that it was already healing, she advised him to remain off his feet for a few hours so the bone could heal properly. Barely focused on anything else but the man she was falling in love with, she took the seat beside the bed and grasped his hand, intertwining their fingers together.

"One of these days, I'm gonna have a heart attack because of you."

Barry cracked a smile and let out a small chuckle, shifting in the bed carefully so he wouldn't jostle his leg. "Guess I just love making you worry."

"Ass," she muttered, though she couldn't stop herself from smiling at his teasing.

With his free hand, Barry cupped the back of her head, gently rubbing her scalp and hoping it would ease her worries and fears. Sometimes it was hard for Caitlin to be his doctor whenever he came back with an injury, especially since they had gotten together. The lines tended to blur between professional and personal.

"I think we need a vacation," he said suddenly. "We need a weekend to ourselves that don't involve metas or any Flash business."

"As nice as that sounds, I don't think it's possible." She gave him a sad smile. "Superheroes don't get a day off."

"We have Vibe and Kid Flash to watch over Central City. It's not just me anymore." At her look of uncertainty, he continued. "C'mon, Cait, we deserve a couple of days to ourselves. We could go anywhere we wanted."

She leaned her body closer towards his, wanting to be as close as possible. "Hmm, maybe Hawaii? We could have some mai tai's on the beach."

"You know, when you can't get drunk, it's just not the same."

Chuckling, but eyes focused on his lips, she kissed him softly, tangling one hand in his hair- his weakness. Their eyes fluttered closed simultaneously, similar smiles adorned on both their faces. They were so focused on the kiss, on each other, that they didn't hear Cisco walk back into the Cortex.

He let out a girlish scream, announcing his presence.

Caitlin and Barry jumped apart in shock, Caitlin forcing herself out of her chair while the speedster was confined to the bed. The same thought was running through their heads, eyes wide as they stared at Cisco. Oh, shit.

"W-what...h-how d-did...what the fuck?!"

"Cisco, we can explain." Caitlin said calmly, slowly maneuvering her way towards a shell shocked Cisco. It was as if she were talking to a child, something she would have found amusing under any other circumstance.

"You two were kissing! Why were you kissing?"

"Be glad that was the only thing we were doing."

"Barry!" Caitlin slapped her boyfriend across the chest, completely mortified. She was sure her face was as red as his suit.

It took a few minutes to calm Cisco down, and Caitlin had considered using a tranquilizer gun when he showed no signs of relaxing. But when he finally managed to stop his freakout, Caitlin and Barry revealed the truth. That they had been dating for five months. They apologized for keeping their relationship a secret, but explained their reasonings behind why they did.

Cisco should have been mad, pissed that they kept such a huge secret from him, but once she saw the look in their eyes -love- he understood. He briefly wondered if they would have told him at all, had he not walked in on them, but he pushed that thought aside. "I kinda want to breach you guys to another earth," he finally said. The couple shared a look. "Or maybe lock you in the Time Vault. I haven't really decided yet."

"Cisco," Caitlin rolled her eyes. "We said we're sorry. How many times do we need to apologize?"

"Once a day for five months should suffice."

Lips twitching in amusement, Caitlin promised to buy him Big Belly Burger for as long as he wanted, wrapping him in a hug when he finally cracked a smile. Filled with relief that they no longer had to keep their relationship a secret, she couldn't stop herself from kissing Barry, ignoring the shout of protest from her best friend.

"Oh, hell no! Just because I know about you two doesn't mean I want to see it!"

I hope you guys enjoyed the first one shot of many. Feel free to leave prompts in the comments!
