Will's P.O.V

I run across the street, raindrops pelting my face like bullets. The thunder starts to boom above me, as the lightning brightens the sky in burning white streaks. I have to get home fast. I can't be stuck in the rain, and more importantly, I have to make sure Jordan's alright.

He has been afraid of thunder for as long as I can remember, and I don't want him to be alone tonight. I finally reach our apartment complex, and am greeted by 'welcome back's' as I walk through the doors. I sprint up the flight of stairs until I reach our room. After scavenging my pockets for a key, I finally find it and unlock the door.

I take off my shoes right as another clap of thunder sounds. At that moment, I hear whimpering in Jordan's room. I knock on his door, but once he doesn't answer, I walk in anyways. I can see an outline of his skinny finger underneath the bed covers. The thunder booms again and this time I can hear him crying. I slowly make my way over to his bed and sit down.

I lift the blanket off of his face. There are streaks of tears going down his face and he looks unusually pale. He looks up and instantly pulls me in for a hug. "Thank god you're here." He cries into my arm. I play with his hair as he continues holding onto me as if i'm his lifeline. "It's alright Jordan... it's only thunder. I'm here now." He is still crying but he reluctantly let's go of me. "Hey Jordan? How about we go play mine craft? It might get your mind off of things." He smiles and nods his head. I go to the kitchen to grab our laptops, and hurry back into the room before anymore thunder has the chance to scare him. "Want to play on the Cube, or survival games?" He asks me. For some reason, whenever he's scared, he sounds extra vulnerable. It's kinda cute. "Let's do a survival games." He opens up the server and we start a game. Since it's getting pretty late, there's only 13 people in the game. 5 of them die right at the start, but Jordan and I make it until deathmatch. There's one player besides us, and he kills me almost instantly, and Jordan right after. "I call hacks. He only had a wooden sword, and we had full iron." He nods his head. "He killed us both with only one hit. I don't think that's possible." I set our laptops down, but then the thunder decides to come back. The second it sounded, Jordan looked like he was about to pass out. He looked pale again and tears started forming in his eyes again. "No no no! Don't cry. It's only the weather." I say as soothingly as I could. "You should probably try to get some sleep okay? It's almost one in the morning." He sits still looking at his hands. "Will, I don't think that I can sleep." I nod my head, expecting that he would say that.

"Well what can I do to help?" I ask him. "Can you stay with me?" He asks. I smile and lay down. He snuggles up agains me, so we're in a position where is back is against my chest and stomach. Every time the thunder cracks, I just have to hold him tighter and pull him closer. It seems to be doing the trick. He stops crying and he slowly drifts off into sleep. I smile at him and kiss the back of his head. I feel my eyes close, and soon we both doze off.
