Gummy Worms and Tequila

Get him Cisco

    "Hey Barry, where's Julian?" Cisco asked curiously. He had to admit, at first he thought Julian was ...well kinda an asshole. But over time he became less of an asshole, and more, well, endearing. They went out for coffee a couple of times, and talked. They actually had a lot in common. Cisco was gonna ask him to go to the movies with him today. And maybe they could go back to Jitters after. When Julian didn't come in, he got a little nervous.

      "Oh umm-well he isn't gonna be here for a while." Cisco's eyebrows furrowed.

     "Why is he sick?" Cisco was starting to get worried.

        "Uhh no. He just needs some time. He's kind of overwhelmed about everything going on." Cisco modded, but something wasn't right. Ever since last week when they summoned Savitar. He felt guilty. He wanted to stop Barry, but Cisco knew better. When Barry was like that, there was no stopping him. And when Caitlin talked to Julian and he agreed, his guilt subsided. But now he wasn't so sure.

      "Well did he look bad? Do you think we should go see him?" Barry put his hand behind his neck.

      "Umm- no, I'm not sure he would want to see us right now." Before Cisco could ask another question, the alarm went off.

        "Barry there's a bank robbery on the corner of Jefferson and Cruz." Without a word Barry sped off. HR was in the corner with his drumsticks and Cisco walked toward him and took a deep breath.

"Hey HR." Cisco said.

"Ahhh Cisco, how can I help you." HR said with that bright smile of his.

"Do you think Julian's..you know. Ok?" His smile fell. Cisco took a tiny step back.

"Well of course not." That relief Cisco was hoping to feel never came.

"Well, what do you think..I mean what can I..."

"Well after you basically invaded his mind, and forced him to give up his control. I'm not sure." Cisco was speechless. HR started again.

"Look if I were him, I wouldn't forgive, but maybe he will. Go after him." Cisco turned around and walked toward the door.

"Where are you going?" Caitlin called from the control panel.

"I need to go... take care of someone-something." Caitlin shrugged and leaned in the mic to talk to Barry. As Cisco walked out HR smirked a little.

"Go get him Francisco."

Cisco checked the address one more time before he raised his hand to knock on the door. He heard a little shuffling before the door opened. Julian's blood shot eyes shocked Cisco. He looked like he was fighting for his life.

"What do you want?" Julian said quietly. That was unlike him.

"I just wanted to check on you. Make sure you were ok." Cisco said stepping forward a little bit.

"Well I'm feeling brilliant. Now can you please leave?" Julian said.

"Well, actually I was hoping you would let me in."

"Why?" Cisco put his hands together.

" So we could talk. About everything." Julian swallowed and looked behind him.

"I'm not sure that is a good idea."

"Julian please." Cisco begged. Julian breathed in and looked at Cisco. He nodded and left the door open for Cisco to walk in. His rooms were clean, and there was a slight smell of peppermint in the air.

       "Umm would you like anything to drink? Pop, water?"

       "Water is fine." Cisco's throat went dry as he thought about the upcoming conversation. Julian came back with a water bottle and a cup of tea. He sat on the couch and patted down for Cisco to sit by him. They sat in awkward silence for a minute or two. Cisco finally broke the silence.

"Julian look after what happened last week I-"

"Cisco don't."

"No I have to say this. I have felt guilty every day. Thinking of what Barry made you do. And I didn't say anything. I thought my opinion didn't matter but it does. To you. I am so sorry. Is there any way you can forgive me?" Julian's breath caught in his throat a little bit.

"I understand why you didn't say anything. I've never seen Allen like that, and I would probably do the same thing. I can't forgive you right now, but I can after some time." Cisco nodded and let out a sigh.

"Ever since, you know, how have you been doing? Have you had any more hallucinations or anything?" Julian looked away closing his eyes. He was always a bad liar, but he could at least try.

"No. Not at all." Julian flinched. He didn't believe himself. Cisco reached out and grabbed his hand.

"I get it with all this. When I was having hallucinations, I didn't tell anyone. I know you might not want to tell me right now, but when you do. I'm here for you." He gave his hand a little squeeze. Julian gave a small smile at him.

"I-I'm not having hallucinations." Julian said ashamedly. " Nightmares. Every time I close my eyes I- I just.."

"Hey, it's alright. I'm here for you."  All the light in the room dimmed a little bit. They both looked around, expecting something.

"I hate it when that happens. The sun should just stay in one place." Julian mumbled. Cisco let out a laugh and stood up.

" I should get back to S.T.A.R. Labs. They might need my genius." Cisco said jokingly. Julian tried to not let the disappointment show on his face.

"Of course, Allen needs all the help he could get." Cisco turned to go out the door, then turned back around.

"I was actually wondering if you would like to go to the movies with me tonight? There's a new movie out and I think you would like it."  Julian looked up. He wanted to say yes, but... he wasn't sure.

Come on Albert take a leap of faith.

"That sounds lovely. What time." Cisco's smile brightened up the room
