Synopsis: Y/N is terrified of the dark, luckily she has a Harry to help

"Harry..." Y/N stood at the door in her cotton pyjamas. They had little dogs on wearing witches hats since it was the week of Halloween. Harry had on the same pyjamas except he only wore the bottoms, he wasn't a big fan of pyjamas anyway.

"What is it my love?" Harry asked, his eyes fixed on the TV as it played the Halloween special of his favourite TV show.

"Will you come with me?" Y/N mumbled, looking down at her sock covered feet and feeling smaller than ever. She played with her hands and bit her bottom lip as she tried to hide the crimson red of her cheeks from her boyfriend.

Y/N has always been very scared of the dark and Harry knew that. He found out on their first date when he took her to a restaurant at sunset and they came out when the sky was pitch black. She was clinging on to him and hiding her face in his arm as they walked to his car that was only a few steps away.

He wondered what got her so afraid as he'd never met someone so afraid of the dark before. In the winter, when the night comes around earlier than normal, she asks him to sit on the toilet seat as she takes a shower or begs him to come with her into the bath.

Harry had been trying to figure out ways to help her. He put a speaker in every room and played their favorite songs throughout the entire house, he would play the counting game where he would count to ten and she would run and go get whatever she needed before he finished counting and he even stuck glow in the dark stars a long the hallway and on the ceiling in each room of their house but nothing worked.

Harry sighed, wanting nothing more than to finish his show as he knew his friends would be talking about it at the studio tomorrow. He looked back at his girl who looked small and ashamed which is exactly how she felt. It was embarrassing to be twenty years of age and still be as scared of the dark as she was.

His eyes softened and he pushed himself off the couch, pausing his show and walking over to gather his girl into his arms. She buried her face into his neck and wrapped her arms around him. Harry placed a kiss to her temple, "C'mon angel, let's go make the popcorn." He says and walks into the kitchen, switching the light on before Y/N had the chance to realise how dark it was.

Harry placed her on top of the kitchen counter, "Do you want me to make hot chocolate, H?" Her happy voice had returned and she was already trying to shimmy off the counter that Harry had placed her on.

"That sounds delicious baby." He smiles and watches as she takes out the Halloween themed mugs from the cupboard. She also gets out the orange and black sprinkles as well as the pumpkin shaped marshmallows that she had bought just the other day when they went shopping together.

As Y/N made the hot chocolate, Harry was making the popcorn in the microwave, he decided on using two packs as Y/N wasn't a big fan of sweet flavored popcorn which meant she wouldn't it it all.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of glass shattering and a bang as the light went out in the kitchen. "Harry!" Y/N screamed as the room went completely dark and there wasn't a lot of light coming into the kitchen.

"Stay right there baby, the lightbulb exploded." Harry orders but she doesn't listen. All Y/N can hear is the sound of her own heartbeat as she tried to navigate her way through the kitchen to her boyfriend who would protect her from whatever lingered in the darkness.

As she took another step forward her foot landed on a small bit of glass causing her to hiss and step back. "Y/N I told you to stay."

"I want you!" She says, her fear overtaking any sense she once had. "Harry please." Tears rolled down her cheeks and Harry felt his heart shrink at her helpless tone.
