A loud thunder woke you up. ever since the acid rain you had been terrified of all thunderstorms and regular rain. all the pain, seeing people die comes back to you. you had already been afraid of thunderstorms before and the incident didn’t help you get out it at all. if anything it made it harder. way harder.

You rolled over to face away from the window. You watched as the rain poured down and you tried to convince yourself you were okay on your own. you didn’t want to bother the sleeping Bellamy next you. but with how you were shaking he’d probably wake up. he had like a built in detector on when you’re feeling bad. you could shamelessly stare, as he lay next to you in bed. he was a handsome man.

The bedroom got illuminated by lightning, and another thunder followed. You pulled the covers higher over your head, shuddering. you knew you should’ve been more mature about this and not hide under the covers like a baby. but everyone acts differently. Howling wind, rain banging against the windows, and thunder rumbling in your ears. you attempted to go back to sleep trying to ignore the sounds ringing in your ears but to no avail you couldn’t.

Your restlessness eventually woke up Bellamy. He grunted sleepily, but a lazy smile appeared on his lips as he saw you next to him. “why are you awake already?” he murmured, his hands wrapping around your waist under the covers, pulling you closer. he didn’t know much about your fear of thunderstorms.

You didn’t have a chance to answer him, before another thunder broke through the silence of your bedroom, making you whimper and clutch into Bellamy a little tighter.

“Ohhh, are you scared of thunderstorms?” he asked, noticing the scared look in your eyes as the thunder rumbled above.

You were way too embarrassed to answer, thinking he would make fun you, maybe even laugh at you for that silly, irrational fear. But… he didn’t. Thankfully. He hugged you closer, nuzzling his face into your neck. “It’s okay, baby . You’re safe. You’re safe with me. I got you.” he whispered reassuringly. And once he felt you relaxing in his arms his hand gently moved up to your face to caress it. “you need a distraction princess?”
