"That's between them." Lisa shrugged her shoulders. "Mick might, but I know Lenny doesn't plan to and I don't know. I never like them apart." With a frown, she pushed those thoughts away and smiled at Cisco instead. "I think you could. I have a pretty open budget, so we can make sure there's no gym better than ours." Apparently it was their gym now. "You wouldn't mind if we lived in the same city, would you?"

"...Woah, wait, slow down. What? No. Dude, no. I mean yes, live here but ... but I have a job and I can't really leave it. And I can't run a gym or be associated with a gym. I wouldn't want to. Everyone would laugh at me. I've had nightmares about that since I was eight. Usually I'm in my underwear being destroyed publicly by someone with a zubat and a pidgey." It was a very specific nightmare but hell, it could be real one day and that was a fear he was not going to live down. "And you know what? Not unlikely given my team. If anyone challenged me, it'd be humiliate to both of us. I can like... visit? And hang out. It can't have my name on it. Besides, since we accidentally flooded that lake and all, the Ramon name carries a lot of bad press." As did STAR labs.

"Oh, Cisco. You could never be a gym leader, don't worry about that. I meant, you will help me build it, so that makes it ours, don't you think?" Lisa smiled and wrapped an arm around Cisco, kissing his cheek. "But I definitely want you to visit. That's why I want it to be in this city, silly. So you can go do important science work and then visit me and be in awe."

But that part about the lake was also noteworthy. "Do you know what happened at the lake yet? Lenny told me about it. I have a magikarp, I never want him to evolve. My beautiful, golden, useless fish. I wonder what made them all evolve at the lake."

"I guess." No one had ever given Cisco that much credit for anything, not even Wells. It was kind of weird to have someone call it his too. Maybe it was a humiliation tactic. Caitlin always said to not trust Lisa - then she appeared and was beautiful and it was impossible to say no. It was a little annoying but that was life, he was unable to say no to pretty people. Pretty, dangerous people.

"What?" Oh. Shit. He shouldn't have said that lake stuff. Cisco shrugged and looked away from her. "I don't know, not specifically. We don't have deets and we're mostly in damage control mode. Wells has a plan to sort it so honestly, don't worry."

"You are so tense right now." Lisa definitely noted it - it was fairly obvious. "You don't have a girlfriend and are just too scared to tell me, do you?" Because if he did, she'd go and find that bitch.

Wait. No. Maybe not. "I saw you first."

He was tense because of work, because of what Wells may or may not be doing, because Hartley kept appearing to judge him. He was tense because he didn't trust the man he was supposed to and he had no idea what to do. And he couldn't tell a Snart. Besides, it could be a misunderstanding and she'd run off and tell Mick and Len. And then what? He'd be fired!

"What? No. God. No. I mean I've tried but-- not about that. It's just work stress." God, he wished he had an imaginary girlfriend though. Well. No. Real actually. "Why? ... We're not dating so why do you care?"

"Hm. What do people do when they are dating, Cisco?" It was the dumb blonde act as she asked him with big eyes, only she was neither dumb nor blonde. Just trying to make it work in spite of that. "I haven't dated in a while, catch me up."

"I don't know, I guess you sort of hold hands and go out together. Sometimes you order food in and chill, just watch netflix or get it on. And kiss, you kn--" Oh. Wait. They had already done like over half of this list. Cisco squinted then very slowly looked down at their hands entwined. Waaaaait.

"We can order in food tonight," Lisa suggested with a smirk, flipping her hair. She watched her really dumb and slow genius and let out a laugh. "You look like you've seen a ghost, Cisco. No wonder you missed out one month anniversary."

"What?!"

Oh God, someone could have told him he was dating Lisa. Like, you know, Lisa! Cisco rolled his eyes and shook his head, lowering it a little. "You really could have given me a heads up, you know? Usually when you make out with me, it's some cunning trap to steal poketech."

"Can't it be both?" Lisa smiled and leaned in, letting go of Cisco to wrap an arm around him instead. She held up Cisco's phone and turned to kiss his cheek for a cute selfie, then she set about making it Cisco's screensaver. "There, see?" Returning his phone, she reached for his hand again. "Now, what will we watch tonight?"

"Woah." This didn't overly seem real. He kept looking at his screensaver. So much so that he just casually walked into the advertisement sign for Jitters and got a little tangled in it. Once he freed his leg from that death trap, he smiled sheepishly and shrugged his shoulders. What was a good first date film - or maybe thirtieth date apparently. "Wanna watch Princess Bride?"

"As you wish," Lisa told him, helping him get free completely and then heading inside the coffee shop, glad that he finally seemed a little less grumpy. That was it, Leonard definitely wasn't allowed to mess with him again. "Now we have a lot of catching up to do, don't you think? So much kissing, so little time."

"Oh ye--I mean, like, you know. Whatever floats your boat, babe. You can make out with my face... area whenever." Cisco tried to shrug and look cool but whatever just came out of his mouth wasn't so yeah, no, this was not happening. "I'm going to go get you some coffee." Cisco pointed at the line and contently joined it, not before sending out a message on his whatsapp group with Barry and Caitlin that he had a girlfriend.

"Just the face area or can I make out with you all over?" Lisa asked innocently as she sat down on a chair, watching her now boyfriend with a lot of amusement. He was none too subtle in texting his friends, but she definitely couldn't blame him. It was fun and she planned on informing her dearest as soon as possible as well. Mostly Axel. Which she did, right away.

Date secured. ;)

Cisco grinned like a dumbass and joined the line, slowly moving along as he sent like a billion emotes and smileys, ordering up Lisa's coffee and waiting for it to be done - he knew her order by heart now. Really, that should have twigged him.

Axel didn't take long to text back either, he knew to always watch for a Lisa text. beginning operation lay the piper ;)

Lisa watched Cisco and ended up snapping a picture of him as he stood there, all blushing and unable to stop that dopey smile. He was incredibly charming and he seemed to not really be aware what about him was so charming, which made it even better.

Please, as if you were waiting with that until now! What's the plan?

debating between showing up naked in his apartment, dick pic oooor the more popular talk to him and be an adult option. Only it's less fun :( tell me a dick is the way to go plz it's much easier.

Cisco returned and set the coffee down and a load of sugar packets and a biscotti he managed to get and a muffin. He got her all of the things in the hopes she'd be happy with one of them. "Want anything else?"

It probably depends on whether you just want to get laid or more. Also on how much you want your dick pic criticised.

"You're so sweet," Lisa told Cisco when he came back, resisting the urge to pat his head and call him a good boy. "That's just fine. You don't want me to get fat, do you?" She reached for her coffee and took a long sip, her eyes on him the whole time. "Perfection."

Point. Fine. Boring romance and feelings it is

Cisco beamed at the praise and then shrugged his shoulders, sipping his own coffee. "I don't know, I wouldn't care. Food is good, I eat a lot of food. I ain't exactly in shape." He poked his own stomach and suddenly found himself wondering why he was pointing out his flaws to his new girlfriend. Great plan. God. He needed abs, didn't he? Urgh. Not the gym again. "I'm glad you like the coffee."

"Well, I need to train my pokémon to be the very best. Feels very hypocritical if I'm not hard on myself as well." In spite of that, she broke off just a piece of the muffin. Surely that was allowed. Reaching out she put her hand on his stomach and then let her hand trail up until she held the front of his shirt and pulled him into a kiss. "Not everyone can look as good as you all cuddly. Don't you dare lose weight."

That said she quickly typed a message again, giggling at the mental image.

I can't wait to hear how you do romance.

Cisco laughed a little, unsure if he should still try and kick some ass but hey, it was nice to live as his pokemon did. Sit around, eat and ignore the world. It was a nice feeling. "I'm sure I can pull that off."

Badly?? God help me.

"I like it. You're so cuddly." Lisa smiled and reached out to hold Cisco's hand. "I like you. I know people say I'm awful. They are probably right. But." With a shrug, she grinned, self-aware of how cheesy that line was. "I'm awfully in love with you too."

LoL
