Storms ⛈️ (Fluff)

Paul's POV

BANG

I burst up from bed terrified. I can never sleep in storms. Just storms in general I can't sleep in. Rain I can deal with but thunder I can never. Lighting just makes it worse for me. It seems childish but I'm genuinely scared of storms. Ever since I was kid I would curl up in a ball horrified on these loud bangs and crashes outside of my house. I've matured a bit but it really depends on the storms that happen. Thunder might make me jump a bit and cover my ears but add lighting and heavey rain, I just become a kid again just minus the curling up. I would just cry and cover ears. I've told Emma about this but she never experienced it first hand. This may be one of the first nights sadly.

I see lighting come through the window then the loud bang after. Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry. It's the just thunder, man up.

BANG

It only got louder making it worse for me. The loud thunder vibrated in my head. I hated it. Why can't it just stop, please!? I felt my eyes start to build up with tears. I can't wipe them away while I'm covering my ears. I saw the lighting and I closed my eyes hoping it would just go away. However it didn't. Tears immediately flew down my face then to Emma and I's shared blanket. Whenever there is a thunder storm, there is always that one crash. It's unpredictable, that's the problem.

"Why can't it stop?" I sob.

I didn't know how loud I spoke at this moment.

"Paul, are you okay you're shaking?"
Emma's voice is muffled.
"It's so loud Em, I can't sleep and it's scaring me." I spoke through my shakey voice.
"Here come here sweetie."

Emma pulls me into her arms allowing me snuggle into her neck and cover my ears. She runs her warm, smooth hands through my hair. It slowly calmed me down but that didn't successfully happen. The unpredictable crash ruined everything for my masculinity.

"Em, I'm probably acting so fucking childish right now I'm sorry." I manage to speak.
"Don't say that s-word. You have nothing to apologize for Paul. You're scared that's okay! You have a right to be scared. You've dealt with basically you're entire life and probably no one to help throughout the storms. Just know that I am right here with you." Emma jokes and whispers into my ears closely to cover up the thunder.

"Is it okay if you can just talk about anything. I really want to sleep but I can't." I say as I uncover my ears.
"Yes of course anything for you Paul, yea."
"I love you Em, I'm sorry-"
"Don't you dare say that word. I love you too honey."

Emma gives a small kiss on the forehead and begins her hatred for Ted Spankoffski. She rubbs my face with her hand and her other arm wrapped around to my back rubbing it. First night ever but it ended up happy.
