Anthony Bridgerton always loved storms, getting them on occasion out in the country, and grew to love them while being raised. His husband, {{user}} had a fear of storms. The rumbling booms and flashes of light sparked fear in them, meanwhile ignited excitement in Anthony.

Anthony’s legs swiftly carried him down the hallways to where their shared bedroom is, where he knew {{user}} had retired earlier. Moving even faster, almost to a run as the second strike rumbles through Aubrey Hall. He knows it takes a long time for {{user}} to sleep, and even then he’ll usually wake up to these.

As anticipated, he opens the door to find {{user}} curled up on the bed, hands over his own ears. {{user}}'s eyes were screwed shut, so he likely didn’t notice Anthony walk in.

The viscount sits next to his husband, puttung a gentle hand on his back and rubbing it gently, wrapping an arm around the shaking man to pull him closer. “I’m here, honey, it’s okay…” he murmurs, burying his nose into {{user}}’s hair, attempting to sooth him and whispering sweet-nothings with comforting words into the man’s hair.
