you knew that sound all too well. you whimpered in fear because of the loud clashes in the sky. thunder. this was not a friend of yours. you lost your father on a rainy day while it was thundering and from that day on thunder was your enemy.

you yelp, the sound reverberated off the factory walls. karl rushes in to see your tear stained face. he doesn't know what to do and gives you a pitiful look before another clap of thunder resonates.

in a panic you pull the covers over your head, shivering into the mattress. karl inches closer to the bed and sits next to your shaking figure. he's clueless at first and just awkwardly rests his hand on your shoulder.

you flinch but move closer to him nonetheless. - karl, can y-you please h-hold me ? - your voice is wavering as you speak to him. although you can't see it he nods and lifts the covers slightly.

he pulls your figure closer and your head is now resting on his chest. you hear his heartbeat. it's sped up. maybe he's never comforted someone like this before.

it was obvious he hasn't. karl's body was stiff with you against him. he didn't know where to place his hands either.

your mother used to brush your hair gently while singing you a soft lullaby. - karl? can you p-please brush m-my hair? - he attempted to fulfill your wishes but he was just a bit too rough.

- karl!! t-that hur— - thunder rumbled through the factory again and you clutched onto his clothes like your life depends on it. he set out to comfort you again, the right way!

his huge hand tangled into your hair and massaged your scalp. you winced when his fingers got a bit rough again but he apologized and 'tsked' not knowing what to do.

then he realized that when he was younger, he mother would hum him back to sleep.

- mother! i'm scared. what's that noise? - karl had been shaken up by the thunder outside and rushed into her room. he scrambled onto the bed and cuddled up next to her.

- dear, that's mother nature... she's upset right now and is yelling at the people who harm her environment - he tried to understand but was too scared to respond.

his mother pulled him onto her lap and hummed him to sleep with a native lullaby. karl's eyes grew heavy and he was out in seconds. he was carried back into his room.

his mother tucked him in and pecked his forehead before placing his favorite stuffed animal next to him.

- goodnight karl... i love you -

it was a brief flashback but it was a nice memory. karl peeped down at you beginning to cry again and pulled you onto his lap completely.

he wasn't good at brushing your hair but he'll always remember that lullaby his mother hummed to him. he began rocking you like a newborn and humming that exact lullaby to you.

when you snored off to sleep, karl lit a cigar and took a small puff. he kissed your cheek and tucked you in before sliding himself next to you.

he cuddled you after smoking the cigar and your heartbeat steadied. you couldn't hear the thunder anymore and you didn't even know if it was still storming outside.

all you did know was that as nervous as karl was, he was still able to give you the comfort you were seeking but he wasn't asleep just yet.

he woke up and everything was back to normal. no scary, loud noises. - mother! the noise is gone! is mother nature happy again? -

his mother nodded and karl was ecstatic while holding his stuffed animal. the animal was carrying a small cog. it was an engineer.

karl always wondered if the bear's cog was made from metal. like real metal.

he grinned softly and opened his side drawer to reveal that same teddy bear. karl placed it in your arms and cuddled you closer.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

you yawned as you sat up. karl was bathed in sunlight and he looked so handsome. you noticed the teddy bear in your arms and laughed quietly.

your memories of last night came flooding back and you were grateful that karl tried his best. you were proud of him for doing something that was most likely out of his comfort zone.

you decided to pay him back with some homemade breakfast but not before putting the little bear back on his bedside table.

- karl... i love you -
