so what youre saying is youve been eating like a king since you left? caaaaaause p sure we both know thats not true bar
[They've never fought anywhere close to this level before, but Lup knows how Barry retreats within himself whenever they've bickered in the past, how he tries to make himself small enough to be forgotten. She knows him too well to believe he's been taking care of himself at all. (Not that she's one to talk, but this isn't about her for once.)]
just lemme do this k?
[Considering she's been sleeping in his bed the last week, wrapping herself up on his side of the mattress, burying her face into his pillow every night, Barry's admission still comes as a surprise. Lup feels her face heat up, her heart fluttering, something warm and soft flooding through her.]
guess were both creeps then ill bring over a few you need some variety
[Oh, how right she is. If she could see him right now, she'd be stunned at how poorly he's taken care of himself since he left. He's lost weight. His usual close shave has become an occasional luxury, his face dark with a permanent shadow of facial hair. His back and neck hurt from sleeping on the floor for days at a time, and the little sleep he gets clearly isn't enough, if the dark circles under his eyes have something to say about it.
He's a mess without her. He hasn't always been. But after Lup became a part of his life... he's realized how much better she makes him. And how much worse he is on his own.]
Okay, I will. Thank you, Lup. I've missed some real cooking.
[She does it too..? Barry feels his whole body go all light and warm at her admission. The thought of her missing him so much she goes into his room, into the bed they shared, just to feel close to him fills him with hope. They can work through this. Together.]
