Prompt: How about a Hal/Barry drabble?
Barry dreamed he slept again in Iris's arms. He drifted, not wanting to wake up, clinging to the warmth, the presence...
But it was *morning* and habit wouldn't let him stay unawares too long. Eyes still closed against the light, he remembered that his wife was dead. He was alone.
Except...he wasn't. He was, somehow, clinging to another warm body. A body, necessarily that...wasn't his wife's.
Barry's eyes popped open and he remembered everything. Coast City, the fight with Star Sapphire--and the man who, somehow, was in his arms.
Hal Jordan. His best friend. Who was looking down at him in concern, as Barry eyed him in confusion.
"You're awake. I'm...sorry for the imposition, I was on the couch but you kept having nightmares..."
"No...need to apologize," said Barry, still trying to assess the situation. Not his wife. But his best friend.
Barry didn't move out of Hal's arms, and Hal didn't move, either.

Lovely.
