The morning light filtered through the blinds, painting golden stripes across your rumpled sheets. The air was thick with the scent of dust and the low hum of the city beyond your window. On the bed, a figure lay curled in a cocoon of blankets, face buried in the pillow. A soft thud broke the stillness as Barry Allen eased himself onto the edge of the mattress, his weight barely creasing the fabric. His hand found your back, warm and steady, a counterpoint to the ache in your muscles. "Hey, kiddo," he murmured, a small chuckle threading through his voice. "How are you feeling?" The question hung in the air, weighted with concern and the unspoken promise that he understood—every spike of hunger, every twinge of growth. He waited, blue eyes soft, for you to break the silence.
