[ Barry curling into him has Jason letting out a soft breath. it's like the last of his tension leaves him, and those words build him back up in a different way. a less frantic and fractured way.
Jason slides his hand up Barry's arm, scratching lightly at the nape of his neck before his fingers push into his hair. it's so good to be able to touch and hold Barry again. the contact is what they both seem to need. ]
You are. You're here with me. And I'm here with you too. I should've been there for you more. You're not alone and I don't want you to feel like you are.
[ All of this right here is what they both need - what they've both been craving. To finally have it again after all this time away and apart... it's beautiful, he thinks. It's beautiful and it's all he wants. That and Jason. ]
You're not either. [ He says, soft, eyes falling shut while he keeps himself close to him. ] No matter how much those thoughts try to tell you otherwise, you're not.
[ Lazily letting his eyes flutter open just a little, he smiles to the other, fingers gently caressing at Jason's chest. ]
[ he does feel alone a lot, especially lately. he tries with the Titans but he still feels out of place here. he tried with Barry but he thought it wasn't working. he knows better now, and laying here with him now, he doesn't feel alone at all. ]
I know. Sometimes I just really need to hear it.
[Jason scoots down closer to Barry so they're completely face to face now, and he slides his hand down the other's face, thumb running back and forth across his lower lip.]
You have me. You'll always have me, whether time moves fast or slow.
[ For that, he's grateful, and he shows that with the quiet little hum there on his lips as he leans in to nose at Jason's cheek with being so much closer now. ]
Time moving slow with you is my favorite.
[ He murmurs, letting his eyes fall shut again as he nuzzles at the other's face, getting himself comfortable against Jason. ]
[ he feels so stupid now, for jumping to conclusions, for letting himself get so hurt. it all feels like so much sometimes, but now that they're together again he feels the truth of it.
he nuzzles back softly, then finds Barry's lips and kisses him again, slow and soft, letting his lips linger.]
It's my favorite too. Everything with you is.
[and maybe with Jason being in Central City with Barry, things can slow down for him a little. maybe not all the way, but Jason can do whatever he can to help.]
I love you, sweetheart. Get some sleep, alright? We'll figure it all out tomorrow.
[ Slowing down isn't always so bad. In moments like these? Right here with Jason? They're lovely. Just like him.
So he does as the other asks โ settles in with a quiet sigh, head nuzzling at Jason's shoulder and he relaxes, best he can, not letting those thoughts claim him in a whirlwind of anxiety he can barely ignore. ]
I love you, too. Always.
[ Right here. Right now. For as long as he's on this plane of existence. ]
[ Jason hopes that if he holds Barry tight enough, long enough, maybe those whirlwind thoughts will stay away for long enough. at least long enough for a night of sleep.
curled up like this, it's easier for Jason to fall asleep too, and he only wakes when the sun starts poking his eyes out with how bright it is. he curls his head into Barry's, relieved that he's still here, and that none of this was a dream. ]
