The Evolution of Grandma Kisses IX

"What was that about?" Barry asked, approaching Caitlin while Iris left. He had just finished a conversation with Cisco in which the two of them had mutually agreed to not judge each other when they received their test scores of 15%.

"So you told Iris about the deep chemistry, huh?"

"Did it work?" Barry countered.

"It worked in embarrassing me," Caitlin said while the two of them began walking to their next class (a class most people decided to skip after the terror of the Biotech exam). "She's probably going to tell all her friends how much of a jealous monster girlfriend I am."

"Iris wouldn't do that," Barry defended.

"You know, I feel like I'm putting a lot more effort into this fake relationship than you are," Caitlin commented off-handedly.

"That's not true! I planned this whole operation! This was basically all my effort."

"But I have to actually do it and convince Iris that I like your weird face."

"My weird face?" Barry questioned, not at all affronted, "I'll have you know, plenty of people think my face is perfectly proportioned."

"Who? Your grandma?"

"Yes, my grandma. My beautiful face is the only thing on her Facebook."

"Grandma Kisser," Caitlin sang.

"I love my grandma and there's nothing wrong with that."

"I didn't say there was anything wrong with that." Caitlin replied.

"You're making fun of me!" Barry exclaimed, his voice going a pitch higher.

"I'm not!" she laughed, pulling out her smartphone. "I'm sure your grandma is a wonderful lady."

"She is." Barry reminisced about his grandma who was currently having a good time in a retirement home in Florida. "What are you doing?" He watched Caitlin scroll through her phone.

"I'm finding your grandma on Facebook. I have to know who's on the receiving end of Barry's famous grandma kisses."

"You and you alone, my fake love. Her name is Dawn," Barry added. He took out his own phone and handed her it with his grandma's Facebook page already opened up so Caitlin didn't have to search anymore.

"Woah," Caitlin said as she went on Dawn's Facebook page. "You weren't kidding. These are all pictures of you! Oh and lots of minion memes. Grandmas sure do love those yellow Tic Tacs. Aw, look at your cute little bum!" Caitlin zoomed in on a picture of a cute and chubby one year old Barry lying down on a blanket, all dimples and smiles.

"Okay, that's enough Facebook for today." Barry grabbed his phone back and held it over his head so she couldn't reach.

Caitlin jumped up to try and reach his device. "Oh come on, Barry! Now let me see your Facebook page."

Barry grunted, not being able to resist Caitlin's requests and pulled up his page. Caitlin gleefully scrolled through, but ended up a little disappointed. "You're so boring. It's just pictures of your track team and like one family picture. Your grandma's page is way better."

"Sorry my life doesn't consist of minion memes," Barry stated dryly.

"I don't think I can forgive you for that," Caitlin replied in the same tone. "So you like Lady Gaga?"

"Psh! What? No!" Barry vehemently denied, "No, I don't!"

"According to your Facebook page," she showed him his post, "ya do."
