Luke screamed as there was another loud clap of thunder. A horrible storm has just begun only moments ago, and it was already getting to Luke, as he was absolutely terrified of storms. He wiped the tears away from his cheeks and he crawled under the sheets on the bed, trying to hide from the noise and the lightning.
Suddenly there was another noise, yet it wasn’t coming from the storm, but from the door into Luke’s bedroom. “Lukey? Are you okay?” Ashton walked into the room with a worried look on his face, knowing that his boyfriend always got scared of storms. He came in and he sat on the bed, placing a hand on the lump on the bed, which was Luke under the doona. “Hey, Luke it’s alright” He said in a soft voice as he heard the boy’s cries.
When he got no response from Luke he wrapped both of his arms around him and over the blankets, sighing a bit. “C’mon Lukey, there’s nothing to be scared of, I’m right here” He cooed, trying to reassure the poor sobbing boy that everything was going to be okay. “Now come out and let me see that pretty face of yours” He giggled, trying to distract Luke.
Although he really didn’t want to leave the comfort of his blankets, Luke slid the blankets off of his face, looking up at Ashton with big teary blue eyes. Just as he went to say something, a loud clap of thunder struck, making Luke scream once again and duck back under the blankets. Ashton frowned and he crawled under the blankets with Luke, wrapping his arms around the taller boy.
“Aww Lukey, don’t be scared baby, I’ve got you alright? You’re safe. You’re okay” He whispered softly. Luke nodded and he sniffed, wiping his eyes before he snuggled into Ashton, nuzzling his face into the brave boy’s chest. “Wanna make a fort?” Ashton giggled, knowing that it would cheer Luke up like always.
Luke giggled and he nodded. “Yeah” He said softly, sniffing and wiping his eyes on Ashton’s shirt. Ashton laughed softly and he kissed Luke’s temple gently, pulling the blankets off of them and placing them aside. He got off the bed and he started making the fort out of the blankets, the bed head and some shelves that he had pushed up against the end of the bed. Eventually it was done and there was a fort around the bed with the boys inside of it, not even acknowledging the storm anymore.
Luke giggled some more and he wrapped his arms around Ashton’s waist, falling down on top of him and kissing his nose. “Thank you Ashie” He whispered, rubbing his face on Ashton’s cheek, almost like a cat. Ashton laughed loudly and he hugged the cat-like boy back tightly.
That’s pretty much all Ashton had to do when there was a storm to keep Luke happy; he’d just build a fort with the blankets and they’d cuddle and talk and be stupid until the storm was over. “You’re so cute Lukey” Ashton cooed, running his hands through Luke’s hair and kissing his temple again. “I love you so much” He added truthfully. Luke blushed and he hid his face in the crook of Ashton’s neck.
Ashton giggled and he rolled his eyes at how cute and childish Luke was. “It’s true! You’re the absolute cutest!” He laughed some more and Luke lifted his head up and crinkled his nose, shaking his head.
“You’re the cute one in this relationship Ash, I’m obviously the sexy one” He joked with a wink. They both started laughing and Luke rolled over onto his back, one of his arms still around Ashton though. “I’m kidding” He told the older boy, calming his breathing some and trying to settle down from laughing so much.
Ashton laughed and he rolled his eyes playfully, rolling over so they were face to face. “I love you” He mumbled quietly, bringing his hand up and cupping Luke’s soft cheek. He started leaning in, and just before their lips touched, there was a loud clap of thunder and Luke jumped up, screaming loudly.
Ashton sat up quickly and he wrapped his arms around Luke’s body, pulling him close and running a hand of his through Luke’s hair. “Shhh baby, it’s okay I’ve got you and I’m not letting you go” He cooed and he kissed Luke’s lips softly. “C’mon, why don’t you close your eyes and try and get some sleep or something? It’s—” He checked the time on the clock, “It’s two o’clock in the morning baby” He said and he laid down, pulling Luke with him and cuddling under some blankets.
Luke nodded and he wiped the few fresh tears that had fallen down his cheeks away. He nuzzled his face into Ashton’s chest and he sighed, breathing in the sweet scent of his loving boyfriend. “Love you Ashie, nighty night” He mumbled quietly, yawning and purring slightly as Ashton started rubbing his back so he could fall asleep easier; something he always did.
Luke ended up falling asleep in less than no time, to busy cuddling with Ashton to pay attention to the storm that was going on outside. Ashton also fell asleep soon after Luke, not letting go of the boy even as he slept.
