Oneshots and Imagines

It's just thunder. (Sota x Wash or as I call it Sotington)

Sota, Wash, Church, Tucker, Caboose, and Tex were having a campout. It was Ghost Story Time and Tucker was in the middle of his story.

"... And suddenly the three heard a big crash!"

At the exact same moment he said 'crash', a loud clap of thunder roared through the air.

As Caboose complimented Tucker on the amazing sound effect, Sota had jumped a foot into the air.

Church and Tucker looked at her. "Sota, are you a little jumpy or something?"

"Did my story scare you?" Tucker asked as if she was a child.

"N-No... AHHHH!" She screamed as more thunder crashed. The scared Sota clung to Wash's arms.

"Uhh.... Sota?" He looked at her tentatively.

"What?" Sota glanced at his arm, then to his face. "S-Sorry!" She quickly unclung.

Rain started pouring and it put the fire out.

Tex immediately went to her tent. She called out, "Are you guys gonna get drenched or are you gonna think for once?"

Sota dove into her tent. The others made dashes for their own.

The rain poured on and on. Their tents lit up with each flash. And every time thunder sounded, a small whimper could be heard from Sota's tent.

Sota looked at her phone. 2:00 AM. More thunder crashed as more lightning lit up the sky. The brunette tried to sleep, but she couldn't. Sliding her hoodie on, she ran to Wash's tent. She peeked her head in, ignoring the pounding rain. "Wash?"

A groan answered her, so she called out louder. "Washington?"

The blonde sat up and rubbed his head. "Sota? what do you want?"

"I-I can't sleep. It's the thunder..."

"I don't know what I can do abou-"

Sota cut him off. "Can I sleep on the other side of your tent? Please?"

Wash looked at her and scooted over. "You get that side."

"Thank you." Sota said as she laid down.

"You're welcome." He gave Sota a small smile.

She returned the smile and then laid on her side, back to him.

Wash was silent for a few moments. Then he asked Sota "Ya know what my mom used to do to me to help me sleep?"

Sota yawned. "What?"

He sounded embarrassed a little. "Wrap her arms around me while I slept. Like if I had nightmares and I went to sleep with her..."

Sota sat up. "What are you implying?"

"I was... Uh... Just wondering if you... Uh... Wanted to try it out..."

A crash of thunder made Sota squeak and Wash scooted over, hugging her. "It's okay, Sota."

She spoke quietly. "Y-Yeah... Sure... If you want..."

"Anything to make you feel safe." Then Wash added quickly. "Because you're my best friend."

Sota nodded and she laid down. A moment later she felt warm arms wrap around her... And she felt safe. She began drifting into sleep as she felt him pull her against him.

"Thanks." She whispered as she fell asleep.

Washington smiled. "Anything to make you feel safe."
