Ash's Pov
The light from the moon was shining in on Eiji's face. He looked so..perfect under the moonlight. He looks perfect all the time but this is on a whole different level. The constant back and forth lighting would also light up his face. I watched as he breathed in and out slowly, it helped calm me down knowing that he was safe. And just looking at him calms me down. Thunderstorms remind me of my past. It seemed like every time bad things happened to me, there was always a thunderstorm. It didn't matter what it was. There was always a thunderstorm. So when there's a thunderstorm now, my mind goes straight back to my past. Which is the place i'm trying my hardest not to be in. Eiji knows about this and he told me that i can always wake him up, but i just don't want to. He's seen me like this before, tears running down my face, and slightly shaking. He's the only one i let my guard down in front of. To put it this way, everyone else knows 'Ash', and hasn't tried to learn about Aslan. But Eiji, he knows Aslan. He always has. Even so, i feel like i'm a burden to him. So like i always did, i'll suffer alone. It's better then bothering him. I decided i might try and go back to sleep. I don't think i'll be able to and i'd probably have a nightmare if i did, but it's worth a shot. I turned around, facing away from Eiji. As he would keep me up. I could stay awake looking at him forever. I then closed my eyes and tried to sleep. But as i was calming down, thunder and lightning struck the sky. It also shook the house. I flinched and put my hands over my head and tried to do breathing techniques that Eiji had taught me a while back. After a few seconds of trying the breathing techniques, i felt my hands being removed from my head. I didn't even flinch or question who it was. I knew who it was. But i couldn't move or say anything. My mind is too full of moments i wish i didn't have to remember. I felt Eiji turn me around to face him. "Why didn't you wake me up?" He said while brushing the hair out of my face while also wiping my tears away. I didn't even notice that i was crying. "I didn't want to wake you. You looked peaceful." I mumbled while looking down. He lifted my head up and cupped my face. "You can always wake me up. I want to help you. It makes me happy to make you feel safe, loved, and just to know that you're here with me." He said while gently kissing my head. In this moment, i felt like the most fragile person ever. But i know i won't be judged here. So i just let myself sink into his arms. I had my head in the crook of his neck, and he has his arms rapped around my waist. He always asks if it's okay to put his arms around me, and i love that about him. He always makes sure i'm okay with what he's doing. Something i've never experienced with anyone else. I felt him whispering comforting words into my ear. " I love you.." I mumbled as i fell asleep. "I love you too. More then you'll ever understand Aslan." He said while running his hands through my hair. I don't think he knew i was still awake, but im so glad i was.

Thank you so much for 1k! I wasn't expecting it but thank you so much! I might update again later today, but i'm not sure. I just missed my bus and my mom is yelling so let's just say it might be one of those days lol. I hope you all have a good day/night! Love you all. <3
