[ Go off and do what, where? Hey, Bruce has been here and been involved, for the past some hours, he also needs to take a nap. He tosses the phone aside and settles back down, looking over at Barry. He can't help but reach out and stroke a hand over his back, resting it there, thumb rubbing minutely.
Wouldn't it be nice, if he weren't totally terrified to curl up with someone and sleep. The nightmares, is the thing. He's trained himself to sleep a few feet apart, to stop himself from doing anything beyond bolting out of bed, but he still worries. There's a kind of greed in his touch but he doesn't push further, not wanting to risk doing something awful, if one of those dreams takes him.
Until Barry falls asleep, this'll be alright. ]
You can stay as long as you want, [ he tells him, quiet and sincere. ]
