Stefan hates thunderstorms and the only people that know is Damon and Klaus. It's gang night so Bonnie, Caroline, Elena, Tyler, Matt, Damon and Klaus (Stefan's boyfriend). Tyler and Matt make fun of Stefan for his fear and Klaus and Damon comfort

No one's pov:

Stefan sat on the couch, his arms crossed tightly over his chest. He stared at the TV, trying to distract himself from the storm raging outside. He was at Caroline's house for their weekly gang night. It was a tradition that started back when they were in high school. They would all get together and watch movies or play games. It was a way for them to stay connected even as they all went off to different colleges and careers.

Bonnie, Caroline, Elena, Tyler, and Matt were all chatting animatedly, but Stefan couldn't focus on their conversation. Every time the thunder rumbled, he flinched. He knew it was irrational, but he couldn't help it. Ever since he was a kid, thunderstorms had scared him. The loud booms and flashes of lightning made him feel like the world was ending.

Damon and Klaus walked in, carrying a bucket of fried chicken and a blanket. "Hey, guys," Damon said, setting the bucket down on the coffee table. "It's gang night, right?"

Caroline grinned. "Yep. We're watching a movie."

Klaus draped the blanket over Stefan's shoulders. "Are you okay, love?"

Stefan nodded. "I'm fine. Just not a fan of thunderstorms."

Tyler and Matt exchanged a look. "What's the big deal?" Tyler asked. "It's just thunder."

Stefan glared at him. "You wouldn't understand."

Damon chuckled. "Actually, we all do. Stefan hates thunderstorms. Only Klaus and I know."

Klaus pulled Stefan closer to him. "It's okay, love. You don't have to be embarrassed."

Stefan relaxed into Klaus's embrace. "Thanks, Klaus."

Matt and Tyler rolled their eyes. "Come on, guys. It's not that scary," Matt said.

Damon grabbed a piece of chicken. "You guys don't know what you're missing. Nothing beats KFC and cuddles during a thunderstorm."

Caroline grinned. "He's right. It's the perfect way to spend a stormy night."

Tyler and Matt looked at each other, then back at the group. "Fine. We'll give it a try."

They all settled in, munching on chicken and watching the movie. Every time the thunder rumbled, Klaus and Damon would pull Stefan closer, wrapping him in a warm cocoon of blankets and love.

Stefan smiled, feeling safe and loved. Maybe he couldn't control
