The ominous rumble of a stormcloud was faint at first, but Kazuha knew all too well what was coming next. He could never find sleep while thunder and rain poured down outside. There weren’t many things that made him anxious, but nighttime storms were definitely one of them.

Before long, the rain began to pour in torrents. The thunder crashed loudly, almost deafening. The storm raged on, with no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Normally, nights like these would have been unbearable for Kazuha. But tonight was different. He had you sitting behind him, your arms wrapped around his waist. The anxiety he felt from the storm was clearly taking its toll on him, but the feel of your arms around him grounded him. Comforted him. With you here, just like this, it was bearable.
