Chapter Text
"Shit!" Cisco called out and raced to grab his phone out of his room "What happened?" Barry screamed
Cisco runs back to Barry's room and shows him his phone, on his phone displayed Party at Room 102 at 8:00 "Oliver sent it to us." Cisco puts his phone down
Oliver has been known to throw parties since junior year of high school, Barry knew Oliver since Barry was a freshman and Oliver a sophomore and have been friends since then. Oliver is a player he's had a lot go girlfriends since he hit puberty in middle school, recently he's got a crush on a girl in Barry's Computer class, blonde, smart, and a cute nerd as Oliver described.
"Come on we gotta get ready dude!" Cisco runs out of Barry's room and into his own "Wait! Why are we going again?" Barry asks
"Cynthia is gonna be there!" He screams from across the room "Why do I have to go?" Barry asks
Cisco comes back into Barry's room "Really? Oliver's your friend and you need some outside time man. Now come on you gotta get ready." he leaves the room again
"You suck man!" Barry stands up and goes up to his closet picking a white shirt, a plaid button up, and some jeans then he left his room, Cisco was waiting at the door for him already ready
"Damn, you really wanna look good." Barry says while putting his black converse on "Shut up and hurry."
Later
Barry and Cisco enter the dorm with party lights flashing and a dorm full of people. Barry spots a brunette woman talking with that same blonde that Oliver has a crush on. Barry swore she recognized that brunette girl in one of his classes. The brunette wearing jeans with a white button up then with a denim jacket on top.
"Hey Snow!" He saw a man approach the brunette woman. Snow that had to be familiar to him. Barry followed after Cisco going up to Cynthia. "Hey Cisco and Cisco's friend." she looks at Barry up and down "Sup Cynthia, this is Barry my roommate." Cisco introduces
"What brings you to Central City University?" Cynthia asks Barry "Well, I'm here for the science. I'm hoping to work with my adoptive father in the CCPD." he responds "Cool, cool. Come with me there's someone I want you to meet." She drags Barry to someone. "Hey Smoak!' she called out and the blonde woman looks back
"Hey Barry." it was Felicity. The girl Oliver had a crush on, Barry's classmate in Computer class, and friend. "Hi Felicity." He said "Stay with him, I got some things to do with his friend." then she left Barry with Felicity and her friend. Barry looks over her shoulder and sees the brunette woman again Caitlin Snow he remembered now, Caitlin was in his Anatomy class
"Well Barry, I should probably introduce you to my friend-" "Caitlin." He cut her off and the brunette woman turned around. "So you guys know each other?' Felicity looks back at Caitlin then at Barry "Yeah.. Snow is in my Anatomy class." The brunette woman turns around once he said "Snow"
"Oh my God, you're in my anatomy class aren't you?" she walks up to him "Barry Allen?" he responded "The one and only." Felicity walked away to leave them alone apparently
"I'm surprised you're here Allen, I didn't expect you to be the party kind." Caitlin says "I'm not.. My best friend Cisco dragged me out to see his crush." "Same here, Felicity wanted to see the host of the party.' she responded "She has a crush on Oliver Queen?" he said in surprise "Yupp, ever since she saw him in the archery contest." They continued talking for a while until Felicity came back with drinks.
"Here." She hands Barry and Caitlin red plastic cups filled with beer "Really Felicity? I come to this party for you and you're gonna make me drink?" she says annoyed "Hey, you came so you gotta drink. You too Barry, I don't care if Cisco brought you here just because of Cynthia but both of you guys are drinking." she says in a serious tone
Barry takes a sip of the beer while Caitlin does the same "There you go, not that bad." Felicity says then runs off again into the crowd "Wow, she just left us." the brunette girl says "Maybe she was hanging out with Oliver?' he says "Maybe." she responds
"Hey look. They're playing beer pong. Wanna watch?' Barry points at the table crowded by people "Sure, why not." she answered
They both slide through the crowd and approach the table with Cisco and Cynthia playing a round and in the corner Felicity next to Oliver
Barry's POV
Not surprised Cisco challenged Cynthia to beer pong, he get really competitive against people that offend him.
"Haha!" Cisco called out once he got another ball into Cynthia's cup "Again?" she calls out "This is what happens when you disrespect my comics Gypsy!" I remembered how Cynthia was given the nickname gypsy after people found out that she moved schools a lot. he pointed at her then looked back at his cups "Yeah, yeah Cisco." she says in disappointment and drank the cup full of beer.
A stranger offered Caitlin a cup of beer but I pushed him away 'cause he looked sketchy as hell but then she went over to the drinking station with all the drinks out and poured herself a cup and drank it down "Woah slow down Snow." I tell her while slowly helping her place the cup down "Hey, we're here to have fun." she said while grabbing another cup and drinking it
Later
We're sitting down on Oliver's bed while chatting with Cisco and Cynthia and drunk Caitlin's head on my shoulder.
"How'd that happen." Gypsy asks acting sly "Felicity gave us drinks.. then Caitlin went to get more and more and more.. you get it." I say. I never expected Caitlin to drink this much, a perfect A student, quiet, beautiful gorgeous girl, who has everything planned finally breaks at a college party. Surprising really.
"Barryyyyy." Caitlin says while looking up at me and goes crashing down on my lap. I started chuckling when she started snoring. "She won't leave you alone huh?" Cisco says while smirking "Yup, won't let me out of her sight. I won't let her out of my sight either." I say while brushing my fingers through her hair "I think I'll take her back to her d-"
"No dude, stay a little longer." he cut me off "Damn, why?" I ask. It's not like Cisco needs me for anything else, I would rather take care of Caitlin instead of staying by his side. Wait.. I would? Would I? Whatever I barely know her she just needs to get to her dorm safely.
"I need someone to stay with me. I can't stay here by myself, especially by myself with Gypsy." he says worriedly "You'll be fine, she's just a girl not Francis Manapul." I say knowing that that was his favorite comic book writer. "fine.. go bring your girl back to her dorm." he says annoyed
I picked Caitlin up, bridal style to her dorm. Dorm 112, a few dorms down my own dorm. I opened the door with the key that she kept in the pocket of her jacket, I placed her down and she grabbed onto me. I led her to her bed but before I could she hugged me.
"Caitlin?" I say "Barry, I love you." she says while playing with my hair in the back. "Caitlin, you're drunk." I tell her while unwrapping her arms from me. "No I'm not. I like you Barry." she says while looking into my eyes. I stare at her widened deep brown eyes. She's just drunk I tell myself. She's never ever talked to me before. It would be impossible for her to like me.
Before I could say anything she cups my face and kisses me. I didn't know what to do so I kissed back. We both fall onto the bed kissing, not knowing what to do but go along. I pull back "Cait-" she cuts me off.
