The rain fell loudly today.
There was thunder too. But it only roared from time to time.
It didn't bother me, but it bothered someone else.
He paused his writing to glance at the blonde. The man showed visible signs of discomfort every time the sky roared at him like a lion.
It was ironic knowing his mascot, Augustus, is one.
The said creature was laying down on his lap, hoping it would distract his owner from the thunders. It helped of course, but he couldn't help himself flinching every time it happens.
Vox put down his pen and closed his book. He was in a writing mood at that time, but he prefer to help his friend out against the weather.
"Hey, big guy." He greeted, voice soft and gentle like the soft patters of the rain.
"Oh..h-hey Vox!" Luca smiled at him. It wasn't one of his usual bright ones, it was leaning more to the nervous side.
The rain picked up. Thunder hit again like someone hitting a gong as it echoed throughout the sky.
The mafia boss whimpered softly, closing his eyes, trying to shake off the feeling.
Vox sat down beside him on the couch and pat his head. He wasn't bothered by the thunder, but that doesn't mean the sound brought any comfort. He could feel the other lean into his hand.
"Not a fan, I assume?"
"Very...thunder unpog.."
The demon held back a chuckle and used his hand to gently push the other's head so it could rest on his shoulder.
"I'm here. You'll be okay, Luca."
Luca nodded and let himself relax against him. He let out a soft sigh, "Thanks, man."
"Anytime."
