Thunderstorm Warning In Your Area

Your phone chimed at you, the bright luminescent screen giving you a warning of what's worst to come. Staring at the notification, you couldn't help but frown a little. It's not that you didn't like the rain, rather it brings you a sense of peace. It being the rainy season, this was a normal thing to happen, but you still hadn't gotten used to it.

'It' being thunder, the thing you've been scared of these recent days. It fills you with dread thinking about it. The loud clapping making you get goosebumps, flinching at every sound the sky makes. It wasn't something you particularly enjoyed, in fact, it filled you with so much anxiety that most times, you curled up into a ball and hid to wait it out.

You hadn't told anyone minus a close friend. Usually, they're there with you if it's in the daytime, or you're alone in your room and can handle it at night. However, you're out in a library getting books, it's daytime, and you're alone. How inconvenient.

You hadn't packed anything to ease your anxieties today, as this was supposed to be a quick trip. But a quick trip turned into hours upon hours of looking at books you would get sucked into. Bracing for the worst, you sat down at a table in the corner and brought your knees to your chest, awaiting the first booming noise.

In the meantime, you looked around the library. Foolish of you to think you're alone in a public library. Though there are not many people anyway, one person catches your eye.

C/N. Flipping through the pages of a book, studying the works with a relaxed expression. You melted a little. This was the person you found attractive, after all. How coincidental they were in the same place as you during this time. In your head, you angrily punch yourself over the fact that they might witness you have an anxiety attack over something so trivial.

Eyes glance as they look up to meet yours, their face brightening slightly, as they wave with a free hand. You froze for a second before returning the gesture.

Boom!

A huge crash of thunder came your way as you jumped and clutched onto yourself. Exhaling slowly, you opened your eyes again to see C/N coming your way. Oh god.

Now bracing for the emotional impact of Embarrassment™, you wait until they speak.

A soft, "Hey" escaped their lips as you replied with the same back, a comforting silence filling in between you two. Nothing can go wrong.

Boom!

Yet, you were wrong, as you flinched again, grasping onto your legs in fear, now shaking a little. This was never a fun time for you. You couldn't help but notice the small glances that were sent your way from C/N, their eyebrows furrowing slightly.

"Is everything okay, Y/N?" They said, closing the book in their hands and turning to face you in their chair. You wanted to say everything was, indeed, not fine, but it's not like you could tell them you had a childish phobia. So you simply nodded.
