World: Real Life

Nick was half awake when he heard the distant rumble of thunder, and the felt the tightening grip of his boyfriend.

"Shh, it's okay, baby." He whispered into the darkness of the room.

"It's getting closer, Nick. I don't like it."

"It can't hurt you. We've talked about this."

"I know, but I hate the sound. It's too loud, and the lightning's too bright."

Nick sighed, and slowly rubbed his hand up and down Cory back suthingly, kissing the boys forehead.

Cory was in town to visit Nick, and they were currently laying on Nicks bed. Nick was on his back, Cory laying on top of him.

A flash of light lit up the room momentarily, followed shortly after by thunder, that wasn't too loud, but was definitly closer than it was a minute ago.

Cory whimpered, and buried his head in Nicks neck. Nick put his other hand on the back of Corys head.

"What time is it?" Cory mumbled weakly. Nick lifted his head to look at a small digital clock on his bedside table.

"1:07 AM." He read and flopped his head back down on the pillow, being careful of Corys head.

When the thunder sounded again a few minutes later, it was loud, and it made Cory jump, his breathing becoming more unsteady than it already was.

"Baby, it's okay. You're okay. Calm down." Nick tried to reassure him. Cory just clung to him tighter.

Nick sat them both up in the bed, him leaning up against the headboard with Cory laying on his chest. He tightened his grip on Corys body, and rocked him slightly.

"You're okay, you're okay." He repeated.

"Nick." Cory whispered a minute after Nick had gone quiet.

"Yeah?"

"Can you... can you sing to me?" Nick hummed.

"I'll try."

For a minute, Nick hummed random tunes while he looked for a song. More lightning. More thunder. More shaking Cory.

Then, he started to hum along to the tune of a song he had heard many times.

"Guess it's true
I'm not good
At a one night stand

But I still need love
Cos I'm just a man

These nights never seem to go to plan
I don't want you to leave
Will you hold my hand?

Oh won't you
Stay with me?
Cos you're
All I need

This ain't love
It's clear to see

But darling
Stay with me~"

A loud clap of thunder, Cory holding on tighter, Nick holding him the same way.

"Why am I so emotional?
No its not a good look
Gain some self control
Deep down I know this never works~

But you can lay with me
So it doesn't hurt

Oh won't you
Stay with me?
Cos you're
All I need

This ain't love
It's clear to see

But darling
Stay with me~"

He could feel Cory relaxing slightly, and it sounded as if the storm was passing slowly. It'd be gone soon.

But he kept singing to Cory, carrying out the rest of the song.

"Oh won't you
Stay with me?
Cos you're
All I need

This ain't love
It's clear to see

But darling
Stay with me~"

He finished, rubbing Corys head.

"You good, baby?" Nick asked softly. Cory nodded a bit. He looked like he was ready to fall asleep, and now that they could hear the storm getting farther away, he was relaxing more.

Nick layed them both back down on the bed properly.

"I love you, Cory." Nick smiled.

"I love you, too, Nick. Thank you for singing to me, it helped alot." Cory responded, then paused to yawn.

Nick just kissed his head again, and rubbed his back more.
