Chapter Text
To say he wasn’t a fan of storms was a bit of an understatement. It wasn’t like they were awful and scary or anything.
Well.
Yeah they were a tad scary.
Theo jumped as another flash of lightning lit up the bedroom, making him tense in anticipation for the thunder that would be making the room shake shortly after. He counted the beats in between and sure enough it wasn’t even after he counted to two that the room vibrated. Sucking in a breath, he grabbed his pillow and shoved it over his ears as he stared blankly at the wall in front of him. Curling in on himself, he screwed his eyes shut and focused on his breathing, trying to lull himself into something akin to sleeping. Although he knew he wasn’t going to be getting any of that tonight. Another flash of light made his eyes snap open and he groaned, clutching the pillow tighter over his ears. He almost didn’t catch the sound of the door creaking open but the sound of it shutting had him tensing up to prepare to launch out of bed.
Soft footsteps made their way from the door over to his bed before the other side of the bed dipped a bit. Movement paused for a second as the intruder seemed to gauge the situation before proceeding to climb further onto the bed. Fingers trailed up to the hand clutching the pillow and gently laced them together, a body soon pressing up behind his back with a nose against his neck.
“Could get under the covers you know.” Theo mumbled, shifting back into Ghost slightly. There was a small hum against his neck before the covers were lifted up and cold legs were soon pressing against his own. “That’s better.”
Letting out another hum, Ghost pressed his lips against the back of Theo’s neck gently before snuggling back into the other’s back. He removed his hand from the other’s and instead looped his arm around Theo’s waist to hold onto him. He knew better than to try and remove the pillow.
It took a few minutes of silence, the sound of the rain hitting the window and the occasional flash of lighting followed by the boom of thunder, before Theo finally started to relax and pulled the pillow away to turn around in Ghost’s embrace. He promptly buried his face into the mass of blond locks and sighed heavily.
“Thank you.” Theo whispered, wrapping his arm around Ghost in return to hold the other close. He only got a tired hum in reply, making him smile as he finally started to drift off into sleep.
