#10 You Get Scared In A Storm

Archie: It was late, and you and your boyfriend, Archie, had just had dinner with Jughead and his girlfriend, and now you're cleaning up after they've left. "Hey babe, where did you go? Come help me with the dishes!" you call to him as you carry a few back into the kitchen. Archie came back in, changed in his pajamas and is just about to come back in and grab the rest of the dishes when suddenly the whole house shook and the window lit up with the huge bolt of lightning, causing you to drop your dishes in fear. One of the plates is shattered, another chipped, and you had moved out of the way just in time to not have them hit your bare feet. You're up against the counter, holding your chest, trying to catch your breath as Archie is looking into the kitchen from the dining room in shock. He rushes in, "[Y/N], what happened? Did the thunder scare you?" He asked, trying to calm you down by meeting your eyes and pulling you into a hug. "Yeah, I wasn't expecting it to just come out of nowhere like that! And now I ruined the dishes, too." You say hugging him back, clearly upset. You then pull away and start to try and clean up your mess, but Archie stops you, "Hey, babe, don't even worry about it. I've got it. I'll finish cleaning up here, and then we'll go and watch a movie in bed. How does that sound?" he suggested, trying to make you feel better. You take a deep breath and agree, saying, "Alright, thanks sweetie". You go into your bedroom to change into your pajamas while he finishes tidying up, but before he comes in to join you, another lighting strike jolts the whole house, sending you into a panic once again, and you crawl under the covers to feel more safe. Suddenly, you feel hands on you, and it makes you jump just like the lighting. "Babe, it's just me, you don't have to worry anymore, I'm here." He cooed. Archie pulled you into his arms so you two were cuddled up in your bed, and he grabbed the remote from the nightstand to turn on the TV. "I even have your favorite movie saved on here to help get your mind off of the storm!" you just smile up at him and nestle closer into his chest. "I had no idea you were this scared!" he joked. "Well you haven't been around me during a storm this bad." You reason, and he kisses you on your head as he hits play.

Jughead: You and Jughead were staying up late, trying to watch as many scary movies as you could to see who got scared first and wanted to stop. You were on your second one, and were sort of scared, but the first one was kind of unrealistic, and didn't faze you as much as the more gory movies did. Jughead was more frightened than you, but was trying to be the man and show how protective he could be for you. You were in the middle of the movie, and you were thinking of how cheesy it was getting, it seeming like one of the scary movie movies, when you look over at Jughead, and you can't help but laugh at the sight. He is shoveling the popcorn, holding onto the bowl for dear life! You're trying not to giggle too loud, but when he notices your laughs, he pauses the movie and looks at you with a blush and a grin, "Did I do something funny, baby?" he asks as you are covering your mouth to try and contain your laughs. "You're just too cute when you're scared, Jughead" you say, giving him a peck, causing him to only blush more. He relaxes a little and puts the popcorn down, pulling you into him as he props his feet up on the coffee table and unpauses the movie. A few minutes later, you hear a rumble and it shakes your apartment, causing you to gasp. You burry your head in Jughead's chest, realizing he was frozen in fear too. "Babe, are you scared?" he asks, more like in a way trying to reassure that it was normal he was scared. You look up at him, "Yeah, the thunder scared me... storms in general scare me, actually." You admit. Jughead just rubs the back of his neck and says sheepishly, "Oh, yeah... me too." You look at him questioningly, not completely believing him... "Is that what you were gasping at?" you ask with a grin. "Ummm... yeah, sure..." you laugh and sit up, forgetting about the storm for a minute. "Did the movie really scare you?" you asked. You laugh a little and he joins the laughing, admitting, "Yeah... I mean okay the clown guy just fucking popped out of nowhere! I hate clowns..." you laugh at him telling him how cute that is. The rest of the night, he is comforting you from the storm, and you are comforting him for the rest of the scary movie until you put in a happier movie to get both of your minds off being scared.

Kevin: You were at home, working when suddenly the power went out. You got a little scared, wondering what caused it, worried the storm outside was going to pick up before your boyfriend got home. You were going to call downstairs to see what was going on, but realized just because cell phones still work when the power goes out, it doesn't mean the phone up front does too, considering it wasn't a cell phone. You use your laptop as a light to guide you back to your bedroom in the apartment to curl up in bed so you feel safer finishing your assignment. Suddenly, thunder shakes the whole apartment complex and you shriek in fear. Kevin was just walking and he heard your fright and ran through the door, and you heard him drop the keys with the door still swinging as he rushed in. "[Y/N]! Hey, are you okay?" he asked, concerned. You brush your hair behind your ear and look up at him, calming yourself down. "Yeah, I'm fine, the storm is just scaring me..." you admit. He smiles at you, cupping your chin in one of his hands as he leaned over the bed, kissing you. "I'll be right back." He says quickly going back to the front of the apartment to close the door and pick up his keys. He comes back, taking off his rain coat, and then his shirt and slides into bed with you. He closes the laptop and puts it off to the side. "This can wait until after the storm can't it?" You smile, forgetting about the storm, and snuggle into him as he pulls the covers up to keep you guys warm. You end up falling asleep, and when you wake up, the storm is gone, and sun is shining.

Reggie: "Alright, well hurry home, babe" Reggie said to you over the phone as you were leaving your work a little later than usual. It had been a long day, and now you just couldn't wait to get home. You walk out to your car, and realize it is pouring rain. This worries you, because you are scared of thunder and lightning, and with the thought of your fear, you suddenly heard a booming behind you, and were too afraid to drive. You rush back inside, dialing Reggie's number back as you unlock the door. "Hey, [Y/N], I thought you were coming home?" He questioned, confused. You let out a deep breath and when you speak you sound worried, "Well... I'm kinda too scared to come home... It's storming really badly here and I'm afraid to drive with this weather. And the thunder is really loud, and I feel stuck at the office" you admit in a worried tone. Reggie just sighs and then speaks through the phone, "Alright babe, I'll be right over, don't even worry about it. We can stay there for a while until things clear up, the storm isn't supposed to last very long, anyway." He says trying to comfort you. You smile and thank him lovingly. While you wait, you go to your office to tidy up a little, then look around your store trying to find something out of place. You're really just trying to keep yourself occupied to calm your nerves until your boyfriend arrives. And when he finally does, you hear him coming through the front door, and he hurries over to you with two cups of hot chocolate, and a bag of dove chocolates just for you two to enjoy while waiting out the storm. "You got here fast." You say hugging him, feeling safer and happier just being around him. He smiles and teases, "Well I didn't want my girl getting herself worked up over a little rain now did I?" You end up watching movies saved on your laptop, snuggling on the couch that's in your office waiting out the rain, which lasts just up until nightfall.
