Hey Val. You said your partner's name is Kazu, right?

MEET DUCKY! YOU SHOULD TALK TO HER ABOUT ROPE BONDAGE!

[ooc: after this]

Hey, sorry I was late. Are you sure it's still okay if I come over?

[A couple of days after Kazu let him know Val wasn't feeling well, Barry drops off a homemade lasagna at the doorstep. There's a recipe card with it that says Great-Grandma West's Famous Lasagna. It might be inferred that everything this woman ever made is "famous," but it's still pretty good stuff.

There is also a batch of homemade brownies with a similar card written up. In addition to all this, there's a little note that simply says:

I hope you feel better soon. :) - Barry]

hey, i don't wanna be pushy or anything, but i wanted to check in on you. you need anything, let me know, yeah? seriously. you're never a burden and i'm never too busy.

[sometime after the three day kink party, a check-in text will go to Val instead of Kazu that just reads]

At Kyle'ssssssssssss [with the s extending into keysmashing at the character limit. Someone fell asleep on his device.]

Val?
I'm not going to be back for awhile longer, sorry.
Don't worry or anything.

Hey, hope you're doing okay. I was actually sketching some ideas for Trixx. What do you think? Too much? [he attaches a sketch looking something like this.]

[ When Val's device chimes he may be surprised to find that it's a message from Kazu, who has only been unattended for about twenty minutes. What could he possibly need already... a link?

It goes to a conversation he's having on Toby's post from the day before, because he realizes that Val needs context to answer the question he needs to ask. Which is immediately after the link. ]

Are we already married?

[Kazu and Val get a joint Valentine's day delivery with a note that says "Happy Valentine's Day, <3 Barry". It's probably big enough it will take them a couple of days to eat the whole thing.]

Kazu is very angry right now and likely looking to do something stupid to retaliate against the city. If you could find him and talk him down I would appreciate it.

Hey Val. I was wondering if you and I could talk?
Kazu suggested it so that I could realize what I'm getting myself into.
If you're up for it. In person or text. Whichever you prefer.

[Kazu and Val get a joint present, one he made just for them. It's a digital file, but it's a self-recorded set of his favorite Christmas songs. Full-on crooner style, with lots of tugs-at-your-heartstrings emotion.]

[ Christmas morning, afternoon, and evening, there are deliveries being made, and Elle has plenty to give. Val receives a large tin of chocolate chip cookies, a fitted dark purple button-down shirt, and a silver bracelet with Kazu's name engraved inside. There is a card that reads:

"I hope you have a wonderful holiday and a lovely new year! Elle 💗" ]
