closed starter for @irisxwest
Barry had to admit, he wasn’t expecting to have another panic attack so soon. He figured after everything, talking to Kara, hanging up his suit, he would be golden. He woke up in a pool of his sweat and his heart racing. He quickly got up, took a shower and was a bit less tensed. Then it hit him once he was out of the shower, the fear of losing Iris, Cisco, Caitlin, Joe, Kara, Hal (well “technically” he already lost him but that was something else for a different day), Wally, Bart, his dad, the list went on.
He ended up in the fetal position, just only with a towel on, on his bathroom floor and him sobbing. It was weird and it was definitely strange since he had never done that in YEARS. He quickly got up, threw on his clothes and ran to Iris’s place, not caring about anyone seeing him, he needed to talk to someone who can calm him down.
Once he got there, he knocked on her door and shifted his weight as he waited for her to answer. “Come on, Iris. Please be home.” He knocked once more, hoping that she wasn’t gone or worse, a lot worse. He shook his head, resting it against the door as he propped himself up with both hands on each side of the door. “Iris!”
