[ backdated to naptime ] text; un: shogun

[ When Barry hasn't appeared by dinner on their cuddle calendar night, Kazu assumes he just lost track of the time and sends a quick nudge. ]

Barry, it's Monday. You're late for dinner in 3, 2...

[collateraldamaging]

[ ...seconds pass. A minute. Still no Barry. Kazu's brow furrows, and he sends another text. ]

Is everything alright?

[collateraldamaging]

[ Still, nothing. No reply, and no apologetic speedster at the door. ]

Okay, well.
I am going to hope you're either very busy with something or perhaps unconscious.
If it's the former, you can still come by later. Your dinner will be in the fridge.
If it's the latter, I guess I'll find out when I pester Sara tomorrow because you never showed up.
But if you died again I'm going to be furious with you.

[ the next day ]

[collateraldamaging]

Alright, a coma means you're safe from my wrath.
For now.
Your dinner will no longer be in the fridge if you come by when you wake up, though.
Unless that's coincidentally before lunchtime today.
You have about three and a half hours to get to that specific plate.

Sleep well.

[ and the day after that ]

[collateraldamaging]

I realized I made it sound like you're off the hook for everything that might make me angry just because you're in a coma.
So to clarify:
If you wake up saying you went home and died again, I will also be furious.
Got that?
Dying is always bad.

...okay, see you eventually.

[adultflash]

It was just a very long nap, I promise! I'm sorry I worried you.

[collateraldamaging]

I was only worried for a few hours overall.

[adultflash]

Well, I'm sorry I worried you for a few hours.

[collateraldamaging]

Barry, you don't have to apologize for something you have no control over.
