Possibilities

Chapter 4: Keys

It’s been 9 years since you were taken in by the Couffaines’ for a month. There has been a great deal of change since then, though that significant month became the most eventful time in your life.

During that one month, celebrating what suppose to be your special day at a funeral was unexpected. It was glum, silence was deafening but the Couffaines and your parents friends were present, everyone expressing their condolences. All the while Luka was there comforting you, in fact ever since you opened up to him about the accident one night, he became protective and supportive of you.

Dark clouds coupled with strong winds started rolling in during the day, alarmed, you kept checking the weather out the window hoping it would get better.

“hey, you alright?” Luke questioned, not looking away from the screen as he continue to fumble with the controller.

“mhm… just thinking it's gonna be bad tonight” you sat hugging your knees against your chest.

He replied with a hum focusing on his game, you shook your head trying to keep anxiety at bay and continue to watch Luka playing his game to distract yourself. Nighttime arrived and you start to feeling restless noticing that it only got worse, you let out a sigh heading up to your shared room paying no mind to Luka who’s playing with boxer on the couch, missing the concerned glance he gave you as you walk pass them.

There are things that you didn't like growing up like Brussels sprouts, bugs, clowns and many more. One of them being thunder and lightning, unfortunately for you that seems to be what the world has to offer tonight.

You accidentally slammed the door shut in panic, making Luka get up from his seat to go to you. You made sure the windows were tightly shut close, pulled down the blinds along with the heavy curtains over it, you took Luka’s headphones from his desk and put it on before hopping on the bed and wrapping yourself in the blanket, not caring that the headphones are not plugged on any device as long as it drowns the noise from your surroundings.

Luka knocked on the door a couple of times, worried that there was no response, he immediately swung the door open but not enough to hit the wall. Confused, he stood there assessing the situation: A messily wrapped human burrito with headphones on. Chuckling, he walked over to check on you.

With your eyes closed while reciting the multiplication table in your head in attempt to distract yourself as well as having a noise cancelling headphones on, you didn’t hear Luka knocking nor walking in. You flinched hearing the muffled sound of thunder, burying yourself more under the covers. Luka being the attentive lad that he is, understood the situation and quickly went over to where his instruments are in the room, he flipped the switch on and lift up the cover of his keyboard revealing the white and black keys.

You felt the covers being shifted, you slightly open your eyes and saw Luka tucking your sides making you into a perfect human burrito, not too tight but not too lose. You feel your cheeks warm in embarrassment, you open your mouth ready to say something but he noticed you first.

“comfy?” he beamed at you, he saw the confusion in your face before taking off the headphones from you chuckling. He stood, towering over you “look (Y/N)....I'm sorry I didn't notice it sooner” he sighed, scratching the back of his head with a sad smile on his face which made you blush even harder.

“But it’s not your fault, there’s really no need to apologize..plus it’s not like you knew about it in the first place” you shook your head with a smile. You both look into each other’s eyes with gentle smile on your faces before Luka guffawed, you watch him with wide eyes, unsure what just happened and with his contagious laugh, you ended up joining him.
