Ash x Raven au where Ash is afraid of the dark (because as Fire Spirit he is used to the light)

Writing this to forget about my nausea woohoo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ash curled up in bed, having yet to turn off the light. Something about the light gave him comfort, yet he was unable to sleep due to unknown reasons.

Raven, having just finished a book in the other room, closed it and walked in, tilting his head as he noticed the ashen one shaking in his bed.

“Ash.. why haven't you gone to sleep yet? Were you waiting for me, or did you forget to turn the light off...?” Asked Raven, flicking the light off and causing Ash to let out a panicked squeak.

“Light on! Please.. please..." Ash whimpered, Raven flicking the light back on and walking over, sitting next to him on the bed.

“...Afraid of the dark..??” Asked Raven, confused.

“A-Afraid? No.. no.. I uhm.. I'm just.. not used to no light...” Said Ash quietly, though his trembling and constant glancing at the light hinting otherwise.

“Ash, if you're afraid of the dark, you can just say so.. I can get a candle and light that as a nightlight...” Said Raven quietly. Ash looked up at him, then slowly nodded. Raven got up from the bed, glancing outside at the dark night sky, the trees were blowing due to a storm outside.

Raven exited the room, looking for a candle and a match box.. while Ash sat there with the lamp light being his savior.

...

Shaking of trees and the shutting off of lights caused a cry of fear to come from the ashen one, who bundled up in the blankets trembling.

Raven flinched as the power went out, letting out a sigh and being grateful he had already prepared the match and candle. He carefully lit the match, then the candle, blowing out the match and picking up the candle by the handle of the holder, walking back into the room to hear quiet cries and whimpers under the blanket.

Raven frowned a little, setting the candle on the nightstand and sitting next to the other on the bed. “Hey.. hey it's okay, I got a candle lit already..” Reassured Raven, watching the ashen one shakily creep out from under the blankets, immediately clinging onto Raven for comfort.

Raven slowly pulled him closer, wrapping the blankets around both of them. He began to quietly hum a melody, attempting to soothe Ash, which he easily did so, Ash resting his head on Raven's chest and softly breathing.

Raven gently ran a few fingers through Ash's hair, petting him to ease him to sleep, slowly the ashen one began to drift off, his eyes fluttering closed and his body getting comfortable as slumber came over him.

Raven smiled a little at Ash finally falling asleep, wrapping his wings around him as a way of warming him up, glancing over and blowing the candle out, then falling asleep with a quiet 'Good Night, Ash.'
