[ barry looks to where she's touching him. it's almost like he doesn't feel it, as though she's reached out to brush her hand against an arm that doesn't belong to him. but he doesn't move his arm from her grip or tucks it into himself. if anything, he lets it hover, and moves it back toward her. ]
[ he hasn't woken up beside iris in a long time — sometimes he suspects that'd been some sort of vivid dream in itself. there are moments where barry's not so sure what's real and what isn't. wonderland's made him wonder what's true and what's false — is this a part of the speed force? or something else entirely? — but iris' touch has always been grounding, and he finds even a mere brush of her fingers before they become solid and strong against his arm is enough to make him realise that this isn't him falling down a rabbit hole as he sleeps. ]
Sorry.
[ he glances at her, then his arm. avoiding looking at her, he doesn't particularly want to talk about this — he suspects patty may have told iris about the nightmares she'd confronted him about. it's not something he's wanted either west to know for the sake of making sure neither spend too much of their time worrying over him. ]
[ he forces himself to stretch, back arching, a foot bumping into her leg. ]
I didn't mean to. Guess your bed's just comfortable.
