I just want to put this out here, I love this. I've always wanted to write something like this, because I kinda relate to it. Enjoy!

Storms were your worst nightmare. Just the thought of the sounds and the lightning shook you to the bone. Since you'd heard them outside of the dome, you knew the lightning wouldn't get to you, since you had a roof over you. But now the roof is gone, that sense of security had disappeared with it. Each lightning strike made you terrified to step foot outside your bedsheets. There was only one robot in the house who would be able to distract you from this fear of yours.

"DOC!!!!" You shouted, as you were sprinting through the hallway to his office. As per usual, he was working on his latest project, but he whirled around to see you. With tears in your eyes, you crashed into him, hugging him as tight as you could.

"Woah there, y/n! What's wrong, dear? Did you have a nightmare?"

"No... The storm... It scares me." You mumbled, kind of embarrassed now, since you had never told him and the thought of him thinking you were childish lingered in your mind.

"Awwh, don't worry. We all have a fear of something. It's okay." He said soothingly, patting your head.

"But, I thought you would think I'm childish." You said, then yelped as another crack of lightning pierced the sky.

"Oh, my dear, you aren't childish at all. It's a perfectly rational fear. Come on, I'll make you something to drink, then we can go and sit on the sofa, alright?" You nodded and followed him into the kitchen, watching him pour out a cup of your favourite drink. He handed it to you and took you to the sofa, where you curled up into your favourite blanket next to him. He placed his arm around you in a comforting and protecting way. Another crack of lightning and rumble of thunder emerged, and you yelped again.

"Shhh, its okay, y/n. I'm here. There's nothing that can harm you while I'm here." He lulled. Quickly, you practically inhaled your drink, set down the cup and get closer to Doc, hugging him so tightly you were scared that you would dent his chest plate. As he wrapped his arms around you, he whispered small and soothing words of affection, making you feel like you were completely immune to all the worst things in the world. Soon enough, your eyelids began to feel heavy. You made a little sigh, as Doc smiled at you lovingly.

"Goodnight, my dear . I love you so much."
