Work Text:
Neil was busy on his phone while sitting in his bed when he heard a scream.
Shaun’s scream.
Neil threw his phone on the bed and ran as fast as he could to the kitchen where heard the horrified scream.
When he got there he yelled “Shaun! What’s wrong?!”
He assessed the situation. Shaun was sitting on the island and one of the chairs was pushed far away from the island. Luckily there was no one around so Neil calmed down a little.
He looked back at Shaun who was staring at the floor with wide eyes.
“Shaun what’s wrong?” Neil asked more calmly than than the first time.
“Spider” Shaun said as he pointed at the spot on the ground he was staring at.
Neil looked at where Shaun pointed and lo and behold there was a spider. A very big one. Neil exhaled loudly so that’s why he yelled
He walked to the corner and grabbed the bug killing spray and sprayed the spider.
Shaun jumped to the other side of the island and walked around it to stand behind Neil.
“It’s dead now so it can’t hurt you” Neil said as he put the spray back in its original place.
Neil pat Shaun’s hair “you okay now?” He asked.
Shaun nodded and hugged him surprising Neil. “Thank you” he mumbled into Neil’s shoulder. Neil hugged him back before jokingly asking “how could you survive without your hero around?”
Shaun huffed. “I’ll live but I prefer having my hero by my side” Neil’s breath hitched
Me dying from a heart attack because of you is more likely than me getting killed by a spider and for some reason I’m more than okay with that
