Louis was scared of thunderstorms and lightning ever since he was a kid, when a lightning bolt hit a near by power station, and the power went out. He was never the one to like blackouts considering the many scary things that happen during it.

So that leads us to this moment in time. Louis is currently sitting on his bed with a lot of pillows and blankets all around him. He was in desparate need of comfort as the fear ran through his veins, making his blood intoxicated by paranoia.

His husband is at a meeting and won't be home until 8pm, and it is currently 6:30pm, which meant he won't be home for an hour and a half and Louis will just have to deal with it.

As the thoughts and memories  flooded his mind, he kept sobbing his heart out and muttering soft and barely audible 'stop's' under his breath, hoping that it would all go away.

Harry, on the other hand, was sitting in a meeting, trying to shorten it as much as possible, knowing that there's a thunder outside, and he didn't want his small husband to be scared and alone, he'd rather have him only scared.

So he dismissed the meeting the moment they discussed the most important topics, telling them that they'll discuss the rest some other time. 

He went back to his office hurriedly, taking his stuff, and leaving. He told one of the menagers to close up, having trust in her to do it properly like she usually did.

He got into his car and drove off, knowing he had at least 15 minutes until he reached home, especially with this weather.

Back in the house that both men called home, Louis was sitting in a corner, feeling more safe there than on the actual bed, wrapped up in a blanket and cuddling a giant bear. Silent sobs and pleas left his lips everytime the thunder boomed and the lighning illuminated the room as a flash of sudden light that Louis' eyes weren't prepared for.

He kept thinking of the first time he witneced a thunder blackout when he was a kid. He was about 10 and home alone, so as any rational 10 year old would do, he immediately thought that it was someone breaking into the house, some ninja, perhaps?

He remmembered sitting in the corner of his room, just like he was now, crying his little heart out for hours, until he passed out of exhaustion, only to be found a few hours later by his mum, who tucked him into the bed with a worried look on her face.

He was so caught up in fear and memories, that he didn't even notice the front door opening.

However, as Harry came in, he wasn't surprised to see the house silent apart from the workers chattering. He dropped his jacket and keys in the hall, before hurrying up to his and Louis' bedroom, with a faint 'go home' for the butler and chef that stayed with Louis'.

For the first time since moving in, which happened about six months ago, he despised the fact that the house was enourmous. Okay, it wasn't enourmous, but it was a huge mansion with three floors, a basemet, pool, garden, garage and indoor pool.

When he artieved into their bedroom, his hart both melted and broke at the sight of Louis sobbing his heart out. He quickly made his way to him, wrapping both his arms around him and bringing him into his hard chest, kissing the top of his head and murmuring comforting words in his ear.

He picked him up and sat on the bed, letting Louis straddle his lap and wrapping both his arms around him protectively.

He knew Louis calmed down when he heard a faint ''Hazzie?" coming from his mouth.

He smiled to himself, knowing that Louis loved that nickname and that he was calm before answering: "I'm sorry i couldn't make it sooner, baby, the meeting was really important, and even when i cut it short, it still had some important matters to discuss." he said quietly, kissing the top of his hair.

''You didn't have to do that, it's not your fault i'm a big baby" Louis' answer was barely audible, but Harry still heard it and frowned.

He lifted Louis' chin up so that he was directly into his eyes, before kissing his lips softly.

They pulled apart a few seconds later, when another thunder boomed making Louis shriek and curl up in Harry's lap even more, clutching his shirt.

They stayed like that for a while, with Harry whispering comforting words in Louis' hair, until the smaller man fell asleep from the exaustion.

--------

He woke up a few hours later to a loud boom, making him whimper and curl into himself. He was half tempted to wake Harry up, but decided against it, he was probably exausted, and wanted to sleep.

The lightning started flashing the room making him close his eyes tighter and curl into himself even more.

He didn'f even realise he was crying, let alone sobbing, until two strong arms wrapped around his shoulders squeezing him close, and whisperjng comfortly bringing his nerves back to normal and making paranoia leave his body.

He burried his face in Harry's chest, now straddling him and fisted his shirt, the scent of his husband making him instantly relax.

"Are you okay now?" Harry asked as he kept playing with Louis' hair gently.

"Yeah, i'm good" he murmured into his chest and lifted his head up to look at Harry: "I'm sorry i woke you up, i didn't mean to, you must be exausted. I'm just a baby." he said softly and let his head fall where it has previously been.

Harry lifted his chin up and spoke firmly, but softly not wanting to upset Louis: "Babe, we've been over this a million times before." he said as he caressed his cheek "You're my baby, and i want you to wake me up when you're scared, i want to take care of you, okay?"

"Okay." Louis whispered and moved from Harry's lap, sitting next to him leaning on the headboard, but Harry was having none of that, and pulled him back into his lap, making him squeak and giggle as he settled comfortably, reaching for the remote and playing a random movie.

Half an hour into the movie, Louis fell asleep making Harry smile and kiss his forehead. He turned the tv off and carefully removed Louis from his lap, not wanting to wake him up.

He layed down and brought him into his chest, spooning him. He kissed the back of his neck and murmured a faint 'I love you, night.' before he fell into a peaceful sleep too, taking the day off tommorow to be with Louis.
