Hey guys! I know I haven't been updating lately but I'm trying to figure out a schedule of some sort to update some stories like this one and Legacy without keeping you guys waiting. Did you guys like the point of view switch in the last chapter? If not, I can keep it like I always do. Just Barry and Caitlin. And do you guys like Legacy? I want to know if you like it or what I could fix about it. Let me know. And 5,000 reads? That's the highest I've ever gotten on any story. The highest was 4,000. But thank you from the bottom of my heart. You guys are amazing.

[Barry]
The rest of that Sunday morning was spent with Barry thinking about what he could say to Caitlin. After he and Jessica brought the breakfast back, they all ate together and talked while eating. Barry and Cisco left back to their corresponding dorms and Barry saw Caitlin still asleep. His mind went back to the previous night when Cisco and Felicity talked about Caitlin's plans for the night.
'Are you jealous, Barry?'
'What? Jealous? Me? No.'
'You wanted to be the one taking her on dates. I know. You like her.'
'I do not!'
'Mm-hm. Sure you don't.'
Barry sighed as he laid down on his bed. He decided to go for a run to clear his mind. When he returned to his dorm, he opened the door and Caitlin was shirtless. Barry widened his eyes and his cheeks started to heat up at the sight.
"Barry!"
Caitlin tried to find her shirt frantically, but it was nowhere to be found. Barry couldn't stop staring at her chest and she didn't notice. Caitlin was frustrated at that point and sighed. She glanced at Barry, who was still staring, and went into the bathroom. Barry snapped out of it and waited for her to come out.
"I'm sorry."
Caitlin stepped back out with a shirt on and couldn't meet Barry's eyes.
"I didn't know you were shirtless. I wouldn't have entered if I had known."
"It's fine."
Barry could sense her embarrassment. "Cait."
He stood up and approached her, trying to get her to look at him. He used a finger to move her head so she was looking at him.
"Why are you embarrassed? You have nothing to hide. You're beautiful."
Barry's cheeks reddened as he stepped back. "Uh, I mean... You're not ugly, you know?"
Caitlin smiled at him. "You're blushing."
Barry turned around so he wasn't facing her. "No."
"Barry."
"I'm not."
Caitlin stepped closer and turned him around, and this time, his body was really close to hers. She glanced up at him and he stared into her eyes.
