I'm sorry if you're not scared of thunderstorms and if that bugs you,, this chapter is written to be skipable so dw if you you'd rather not read about it :) it just felt very relatable and i knew it would be to a few others so i wanted to add it just in case xx-love wynn
The covers were pulled over Y/n's head as she hid under the covers. The rain hit heavy on the roof, leaving the room filled with loud sounds. Blankets fell off of Y/n as she slowly sat up shaking. The truth was that Y/n was terrified of thunderstorms, and the very thought of one freaked her out. She slowly walked downstairs and grabbed the phone dialing Michael's number. Ringing of a phone filled her ears for a moment, but was abruptly cut off.
"Hello? This is the Afton household." William stated. Fear rushed through her body as she replied to the british man. "Um, Hi Mr. Afton is Michael there?"
"Yeah i'm here what's up?" Michael said. "I told you to stop picking up from the other lines Michael." William puts down his end of the phone. "I-" She knew Michael would think this was stupid. Was she really going to call him and ask for company while the storm passed? They wouldn't even consider themselves friends yet. "Y/n, are you there?"
"Never mind, sorry for calling." The phone is gently placed down and immediately rings again.
"Hello?" Y/n states as she picks up the phone. "You're acting weird. Why'd you call for me?"
"It's stupid, you're gonna laugh."
"You're probably right." Michael teases. "That doesn't mean it's stupid." A sigh escaped Y/n's lips as lightning went off outside. "Woah did you see that!?" Michael exclaimed. "Yeah." She said with a shaky voice. "Y/n..? Are you crying?"
"No.." Small water droplets slowly form in her eyes as she sniffles her nose. "Yeah you are. What's going on?"
"I just need to go lay down. I'm tired."
"I'm coming over." Michael sets the phone down as Y/n stands there and sets it down.
'Damnit Y/n you're an idiot.' She wiped her eyes and Michael barges through the door a minute later. "What's the matter with you." She looks at the boy and looks down mumbling something. "I can't hear you idiot."
"I'm scared of thunderstorms.." Michael softly chuckled and walks over to her. "You're such a big baby." He grabs her wrist and the umbrella off the counter and he noticed she's still in his clothes. "Are those my clothes?"
"Oh yeah, I fell asleep before I could change." Michael rolls his eyes and takes her outside and stood under the awning. "Wait where are we going Michael..?" She wiped her eyes and looked at the heavy rain falling.
Lighting struck again and Michael gripped her wrist tighter. He opens the umbrella with a 'pop' and stands under it. Michael holds it out for Y/n and pulls her under it. "It's going to be find you big baby, the thunderstorm won't bite." Michael teased
"Shut up Michael.." The two walk to the car together and Michael hands her the umbrella. Their hands graze each other as Y/n takes it with a shaky hand. She quickly gets in the car and Michael starts driving. "That wasn't so bad."
"It was fine." Her eyes move to her feet as she nervously shakes her leg.
"My mom is making broccoli cheddar soup for lunch" Michael said as he started the car. Her mouth stayed shut as he glanced at her. "We can just chill at my house for a while until the storm slows down."
"Okay" Booms erupted from the sky as Y/n jumped a little. "We're here." Michael turned off the car and held his hand out, Y/n took it. "The umbrella you idiot."
"Oh" Embarrassed, she took away her hand and quickly grabbed the umbrella. "Here" She hands it to him and looks away. The car door opened and Michael stepped out.
He soon opened her door and moved to give her space under the umbrella. "Let's go." She gets out of the car and stood under the umbrella. They walk to the front door together as thunder cracked through the sky. Y/n grabbed onto his shirt, he glanced at her. He opened the door and closes the umbrella. "I'm home!" Michael yelled.
"Oh good you made it home safe! Oh! Hello Y/n, it's so nice to see you again." Mrs. Afton exclaimed as she squeezed her cheeks. "Momm!"
"Oh, sorry sweetie. I'll leave you too be, and start on lunch soon."
"Thank you Mrs. Afton."
"Let's go upstairs." Michael said as he set down the umbrella. She still held on tightly to his shirt as they walked upstairs together.
"Michael? Do you know if the storm is supposed to get worse?" The girl worried, she didn't like being so vulnerable, especially in front of Michael. "Yeah it's supposed to pick up within the hour the tv guy said. It'll last a few hours and then light rain is gonna be here for the next few days."
"Alright.."
"Don't worry it'll be fine. Atleast you aren't alone." He swings his door open and sits on the bed. "Now let go of me." He moved his side.
"Oh, sorry" She let go of his shirt and sat next to him.
"Why are you even scared of thunderstorms? It's just thunder and lighting."
It was less of the thunderstorms and more of the loud noises. Her dad wasn't the greatest guy and would do awful things to his family causing her to be sensitive of sound. It always scared her when he yelled, or when another beer bottle was broken during a fight. "I don't want to talk about it."
"Oh come on, it can't be that bad." Michael lays back on the bed and thunder strikes again causing Y/n to jump again. She shook a little as she gripped the bed sheets. "Just tell me already." She layed on her side and turned away from Michael.
"Why did you take me here if you were just going to make fun of me."
"I don't know."
"You're just making it worse."
Michael sat up and looked at the wall. "Fine, i'm sorry. Whatever."
"Can you just take me home.." She said with tears in her eyes. He pulled her on her back and looked at her. "Look, I-i'm sorry I didn't mean to make you cry." Panic ran through his body. "It's not you, I just don't like all the noise, and you pushing me to tell you why doesn't make me feel very good." The bed squeaked as Y/n sat up and look at Michael. "Uhh do you want like a hug or something." Y/n smiles a little and wiped her cheek, thunder cut her off as she was about to answer."Yes please." Michael cautiously placed his arms around her. "Do you not know how to give hugs?" She teased. "..."
"Don't force yourself to do this." She muttered. "Just shut up." He squeezed her shirt and held her really tightly. "Michael..?"
"Shut up already.." His voice raised and Y/n squeezed his shirt back.
[ Im sorry but I just KNOW Michael never gets or gives hugs :( ]
The two sat there for a while as the thunder and lightning struck. The room was quiet, except for the sounds of heavy rain pounding above their heads. "Are you... feeling better yet? Or whatever."
[ i just got back to writing this and i totally forgot where i was going with this oh my gof ]
In truth she felt better knowing Michael cared. The knowing that he could let his guard down and help Y/n out when she truly needed it. His shirt bunched in her fists as she didn't let go. 'just a little longer..' Michael smelled wonderful, it was almost intoxicating. "Y/n..?" He mentioned again. "Yeah,, i'm alright." She let go of his shirt and Michael returned to his former position. "Thanks for that" She eyed Michael only to notice a small smile on his cute freckled face. "Yeah, whatever." The bed shook as Michael fell back onto it.
"What do we do now?" She asked. "Let's wait out the storm. I don't want anything happening to you or whatever." Y/n chuckled and the boy turned away in embarrassment. Michael picked up a strand of his hair, staring at it intently. "I need to go shower,, will you be fine in here?" She nodded her head and watched Michael stand up. "You sure?"
"Yeah i'm sure Michael." He pats her leg and leaves the room. Y/n smiles and lays back on the bed.
....
She felt squeeze on her hand, and heard a door softly shut. Y/n's eyes opened slightly only to see her own bedroom. Light rain tapped the roof, as she softly giggled to herself. Michael left the house in the cold, he forgot to take his jacket off of Y/n when he carried her inside. He sighed softly and drove home. They both stared at their own ceilings, thinking about eachother.
