You jumped, gasped, and rushed straight back to bed, curling against your boyfriend, Alec, in search of comfort. Lucky for you, he'd already woken up due to that particularly loud boom of thunder, and he was more than ready to wrap an arm around you, holding you close against his body in a way that he knew would help you to feel safe.

He kissed your head and wrapped the blanket back around you, ensuring you were nice and warm.
