It had been storming for twenty minutes now. Only a few minutes had you got in bed, calling it a night through the calmness of the storm. Then, it flashed brightly through your window and rumbled through your house. Honestly, you are absolutely terrified of thunderstorms. You don't mind the rain–it's soothing. But the lightning and thundering scares you to no end.

You bury yourself deeper into the covers and squeeze your eyes shut as another passes. "Go away..." you whimper.

"Still afraid, are ye?" Allistor chuckles softly. You look up at him with pleading eyes; he sighs and motions for your scoot over. He wraps his arms around you and you immediately snuggle into his chest, jumping as the loud rumble of thunder shakes again.

"Whe are ye al'wys like 'tis, y/n?"

"They're scary!" You shriek.

"Oh yeh?" Allistor's chest rumbles beneath your face. Your press your ear to his chest in a sudden curiosity and listens to his heart. Ba-dump ba-dump ba-ba-dump. The rythum of his racing heart amuses you.

"Are you scared, Allistor?" You lift your head up to meet the hidden green ones. Outside, you catch a glimpse of gray and rain.

"S-Scared? Whe're would ye get th't?!"

"Your heart."

"Me heart?"

"Yeah." You nod positively and smile a bit. Is Allistor acting like this.....because of you? It would be nice. You like Allistor. And you're pretty sure he likes you too. But the thing is, it just seems as if the two if you can't ever get past the awkwardness. Sometimes when it's just the two of you, you fall into an akward silence and just...sit there! I mean, don't get me wrong, you have tried to tell him but never could; it would always be because either you always lost courage, one of Alli's brothers interrupted or Allistor himself would somehow brush the conversation off.

You shriek as lightening flashes through the room. Then again because Allistor–the way he looks surprised you.

"Y/n. Would ye care if me heart beat so fast fer ye?" Allistor lightly grabs your chin, his index finger lifting it up so you can see him.

No. You wouldn't care. In fact, it would make you happy because you know he likes you. You know.

"No." You whisper, feeling as if captivated by some sort of magic. His green eyes seemed to be illuminated somehow, flecks if green being spotted even in the pitch black. They aren't too far from your own e/c ones. They seem to reflect....

"Ye sure?" He draws a but closer.

"Positive." You close your eyes and feel the light brush of the Scot's lips.

"W'ould it be alright ta love ye?"

You freeze. Your breath hitches and your eyes snap open. Love me? Allistor Kirkland loves me? Me?! I never even... I didn't think he'd be in love with me. I only thought he liked me!

"Ye okay there, y/n? Ye l'k fre'ked out."

Surprising yourself, you kiss Allistor. You reach up, curl your hands around his neck and kiss him. And the Scott immediately begins to kiss you back, wrapping his hands around your waist and pulling you closer to him. You tilt your head to deepen the kiss and hold tighter to him. You never thought it, but Alli is one hell of a kisser. His lips are so soft and he's careful about not crushing you against him, and he smiles softly too. It's as if he really has been waiting for this–to kiss and hold you like this.

"I love you too, Allistor Kirkland." Breaking the kiss, you say this to him.

You don't see it, but you know he's smiling. "Ye know? I h've counted four times with te storm, and ye haven't freaked out yet."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Well," you draw him closer. "I guess I've found a way to forget, then."

"Good."
