Barry was running on his treadmill silently, thinking about his boyfriend.

"How dare you think you can be colder than me, Barry!"

Barry laughed and fell off.

"Barry?" Caitlin asked, receiving a nod in return.

As she was helping him up, she decided to take a risk.

"Why were you laughing?"

"Just something funny my boyfriend said." As soon as the words are muttered, Barry's eyes grow wide and he covers his mouth with his hand.

Caitlin raises an eyebrow.

"Did you seriously think I didn't know you were bi, or gay, or whichever?"

She hears him mutter bi but decided not to comment on it.

"I didn't know you were in a relationship, but you don't have to hide your sexuality."

Barry smiled up at her (considering he was still on the floor).

"I bet you wouldn't say that if you knew who it was," he laughed.

Caitlin frowned.

"Who is it?"

Barry stood up and brushed himself off.

"Captain Cold," he winked before speeding off.

And Caitlin was pissed.

...

The next day, when Barry walked into S.T.A.R. Labs, he was surprised to see that Caitlin was the only one there.

"Sit, Barry, or else I'll tell everyone else about your secret."

Yeah, he didn't want that, so he sat down across from her.

"Caitlin..."

"Barry. I am not mad at you. I am disappointed that you feel in love with one of Central City's most wanted, but I am happy you found love. I won't tell anyone until you're ready, but you do need to tell them at some point."

Barry nodded and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Thanks... really. I doubt that any of you would react poorly, but I'm worried, you know? And I appreciate being given more time."

Caitlin nodded and smiled.

"Of course, Barry. I never even told my mother about Ronnie, even after he was dead. And I'm wasn't dealing with dating a criminal or even the opposite gender. Don't feel bad about not telling them."

Barry nodded slowly.

He looked at her, and if he didn't have super speed he won't have caught it, but there seemed to be a look of sadness in her eyes.

He ignored it.

He was so happy to have someone know.
