When Violence Ensues: Slenderverse Short Stories.

Story Twenty Two: Storms And Waves

"You're an idiot wow." Shaun stated with an amused grin plastered on his features, as a highly embarrassed looking Stormy pouted and grabbed a teacloth to mop up the spilled coffee that had formed a puddle on the floor of the hall. The female's face was dusted a rosy pink, as she sighed and then threw the now dirtied cloth into the washing basket in the kitchen.

"Not my fault you scared the heck out of me." She retorted, before making another cup of coffee," Now I gotta make another one." The female mumbled, only adding to Shaun's amusement. He grinned and simply shrugged his shoulders,

"Boo hoo."

"Shut the fuck up." Stormy grumbled, once again filling the mug with the hot liquid and then turning and leaning against the counter, mug in her hands. She appeared unamused; her eyes reflecting light annoyance as Shaun folded his arms across his chest and challenged her gaze with a childish smirk. It wasn't long before Stormy felt her own lips curl up into a smile, completely against her will, "Oh, fuck you."

"Please do." Shaun quipped in reply, before erupting into laughter as Stormy quietly, but hastily turned away from him to face the kitchen window, silently sipping on her coffee. Her face was now a crimson shade, embarrassment completely obvious. He was infatuated with her, she was completely adorable. Not to mention, Stormy helped him manage anger and resentment that he had stored, partly toward the situation they were in and partly toward his own brother; Michael Andersen. Michael, Patrick, whatever he went by now. Stormy was a lifeline in the chaos.

The male moved forward and slipped his arms around her, pulling her in for a hug," Stormy, do you want a hug?" He questioned in a playful manner, as she simply leaned back against him and smiled as she brought the coffee to her lips,

"Yeah, a hug sounds good." She responded, before he laid his head on her shoulder and simply sighed,

"You're cute." He pointed out, pressing a gentle kiss to her neck. Stormy simply rolled her eyes, but a smile found its way to her lips in silent reply. They both relished in the joyful silence, warmth and togetherness that was so rare during the hectic events of daily life, running away from different entities and constantly being terrified of running into the tall creature with no face that haunted every waking moment. It was the small moments like these; that made everything seem okay. Even if only briefly. Shaun sighed, his breath tickling the female's neck as he kept his head lazily resting on her shoulder. She was comfortingly warm, not only personality-wise.

"Shaun, if you're that sleepy, go to bed." Stormy giggled, happily sipping on the coffee in the mug that was brought to her lips. Shaun shook his head in response,

"Not tired." He responded quietly, before moving his hands up to her waist and letting them rest there. Stormy's glittering eyes narrowed in suspicion as she felt his hands rest lightly on her waist," Shaun, I warn you now if you tickle me, you're sleeping on the floor." She stated, finishing the coffee in the mug. Shaun simply hummed in reply, biting his lip in order to stop the laugh from escaping his throat before he tickled her waist unexpectedly. The female let out a shrill yelp of surprise, before setting the mug down violently and whipping around to catch Shaun. The male, laughing uncontrollably, ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs. "Shaun Andersen!" Stormy called out, spluttering, running after him," You are sleeping on the floor, for sure you dick!" But yet she couldn't stop the laughter spilling from her lips. Shaun sprinted into the bedroom and hid behind the door, just milliseconds before Stormy bolted into the room, "I am so gonna get you back for that." She sighed, shaking her head as she searched the room. Shaun, just barely containing his amusement, sneaked out of the room behind her and whistled to grab her attention,

"You got pranked!" He chortled, before taking off back down the hall and down the staircase, into the living room. Stormy pouted and ran after him, only to end up being lifted into his arms upon running through the living room door. Squeaking, Stormy wriggled to get out of his grasp,

"Shaun!! Put me down!!" She commanded, but still he held her in his arms and defiantly chuckled,

"Make me." He retorted, before Stormy placed both hands to the sides of his face and planted her lips on his. Shaun held her close before gently setting her down, smiling into the kiss as his cheeks became dusted with a faded pink hue. Stormy pulled away after a moment, and rolled her eyes,

"You're such an idiot." She snorted, before sitting down happily onto the couch and shifting so Shaun could sit beside her. He wrapped his arms around her and shrugged his shoulders,

"I am a bit of an idiot." The man agreed, adjusting his glasses before Stormy grabbed the TV remote and turned the TV on, and switched to her favourite channel that was currently showing episodes of The Walking Dead.

"Wanna watch The Walking Dead?" Stormy suggested, before grinning as Shaun nodded and simply held her close to him, content. The female planted a kiss to his cheek, before lightly tapping his nose,

"You tickle me again and we're gonna have serious issues."
