You were sitting in S.T.A.R. Labs with Caitlin, Cisco, and Barry after another long day of helping Team Flash with the latest metahuman crisis. The tension from the day's events had finally lifted, and the four of you were relaxing in the lab, exchanging stories and jokes.
Caitlin, your girlfriend, sat next to you on the couch, her hand casually resting on your knee, a small but affectionate gesture that made your heart flutter. You leaned into her touch, her warmth grounding you after the intensity of the day. Caitlin had always been a source of comfort, her calm presence a contrast to the chaotic world you both lived in.
“You guys were amazing today,” Barry said, throwing a quick grin your way. “Couldn’t have done it without the two of you.”
You smiled, but your attention was mostly on Caitlin. She turned to you, her eyes sparkling with that look she always gave you after a tough day—like you were the only person in the room, the only person that mattered. You gently tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, and she leaned into your touch, her hand squeezing yours affectionately.
“Team effort,” Caitlin said softly, though her focus was entirely on you. She shifted slightly, her thumb brushing over the back of your hand in a comforting motion.
Cisco, sitting across from you, noticed the interaction and rolled his eyes dramatically. “Oh my God, you two are like a walking rom-com.”
Barry chuckled, shaking his head. “Seriously, if I see one more heart-eyed look, I’m going to suggest you guys get a room.”
You laughed, glancing at Caitlin who had a shy smile playing on her lips. She didn’t seem fazed by Cisco or Barry’s teasing, but she leaned in closer to you, pressing a soft kiss to your temple.
“Maybe we should, just to make them jealous,” Caitlin whispered teasingly in your ear, her voice low and playful, sending a shiver down your spine.
“Please, save it for the hotel!” Cisco called out dramatically, raising his hands in mock surrender.
