Today was an average day for Keith. It wasn't anything super eventful but it also wasn't anything super uneventful. He got to hang out with friends, rap battle some people trying to take either his girlfriend or boyfriend (or both) away or just trying to take him out, and got to take his spouses out to eat pizza before it got cloudy! Hurrah for him!
"That pizza tasted mediocre." Pico stated as the trio walked into their shared apartment, the ginger kicking off his shoes and heading towards the couch. Keith let out a huff as he rolled his eyes. "I don't know. I swore that I saw a pizza slice on your plate once you first got it! I wonder how it disappeared so fast." The blue haired male teased, cherry giggling as Pico grunted in response. Keith happily bounded over to pico and joined him in laying down, cherry following suit after organizing the shoes.
"You two are so messy!" She jokingly complained, cuddling up to Keith. Pico growled slightly as Keith laughed and snuggled closer to the ginger. "And we're tired! So its nap time!" He hummed, closing his eyes calmly. It didn't take long for him to actually fall asleep after that. His smile relaxed as he drifted off into dream land with his lovers following suit. Everything was good..
Til he heard a crack of thunder.
Keith jolted, sitting up in his..bed? When did he get into bed? Where were Pico and Cherry? What time was it? Everything was confusing him and making his braincells whimper and swell together. His thoughts were slurred too. He didn't like this.
The cyan haired male yelped as another boom of thunder sounded, the poor guy terrified as he scrambled to the alarm clock. Only 7:46 pm. So he did sleep for awhile. Okay. Thats good. He only slept 3 hours away. But now that left the question of where was his spouses.
He didn't hear the wail leaving his mouth at another sound of thunder. He frantically moved underneath his blanket and curled up there, not wanting to leave the safety of it. He wasn't sure how much time had passed til he heard the sound of a familiar scratchy like voice.
"You okay in here, highlighter?" Pico asked, the male in question simply whimpering. Not a good sign. The orange haired and freckled male moved to climb into the bed, being careful not to accidentally hit the scared male. He peeked under the blankets to come face to face with him.
Keith had tears streaming down his face and was shaking as if he was in the dead cold of mount everest. He was curled in on himself like a ball, mumbling about how he was going to die. It pained pico alot to see him like this. So he shifted to get under the blanket with him, holding his hand gently as he laid there. The blue haired male latched onto the ginger, Pico letting out a soft wheeze at the practical death grip he was in right now.
After that, time flew. Cherry had come in at some spot and they were all underneath the blanket. Keith was crying and crying until he couldn't no more. Eventually, keith calmed enough to actually fall asleep. But shockingly, cherry was the first to fall asleep first. Then Keith. Pico stayed awake a bit longer though. He spent this time watching their sleeping faces, the only real thought running through his mind as he drifted off being how pretty they both looked no matter if they were awake or asleep..
