A loud crash sounded outside which jolted Louis from his sleep.
"Wow it's raining hard out there." Louis mumbled out loud to himself as he turned over.
There was a small knock on his door and he sat up to see his girlfriend gently open the door and tiptoe inside.
"You okay?" He asked softly.
"I'm fine. Just want to cuddle."
"What time is it?"
"Two am." She replied back hoping to not get more questions fed off of the reply she gave.
"What are you still doing up?"
There it is.
"I couldn't sleep. You know, insomnia."
"But you've been doing so week with it. And you took melatonin didn't you?" He asked gently as she walked over to the bedside. Louis now sat up and dangled his feet over the edge of the bed.
"I did but it just didn't work for some reason."
Another clap of thunder shook the house and y/n jolted slightly unbeknownst to Louis.
Louis pulled her in between his legs and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Are you sure that's it? Just not sleepy."
She nodded but looked away from him.
"That's it." She whispered.
Louis pulled her into the bed and laid her next to him. He shuffled down into the sheets and held her close.
They talked and talked for a while like they usually did when one or both of them couldn't sleep.
The rain poured out hard outside. Y/ns fear wasn't exactly the rain or the lightning but the thunder. The treacherous thunder. The loud, booming, startling thunder.
The lightning flashed into their room which illuminated everything. The posters on the closet door lit up and the chair with their unfolded clothes on it turned from a scary monster to another thing to do.
Not long after another boom crashed through and y/n jumped.
"You okay?" Louis asked as he felt her body shake.
"Y-yeah just... a muscle spasm." She lied horribly.
"A muscle spasm?" He said disappointedly.
Y/n knew her gig was up. She couldn't hide it anymore.
"Okay... I'll admit it, i am scared of thunder... of thunder storms." She added hesitantly.
"Why didn't you just tell me?" Louis laughed
"Because it's embarrassing. That's for babies."
"It's not embarrassing. Everyone has different fears."
"But none of them are as dumb as mine."
"Well... I'm scared of butterflies."
"No you're not." Y/n laughed
"Yes I am."
"Why does that fit you so well?" Y/n was hysterical now.
"Hey! Shut up!" Louis joked.
After a couple minutes of laughing and joking it got quiet.
"Come here. Let me keep you close."
Y/n didn't hesitate to cuddle back into Louis's warm chest.
"You're so toasty and inviting." She hummed. The thunder cracked again and she jumped "the thunder is not." She shouted at the window.
"Shhh." Louis chuckled as he pulled her head back into his chest "just try to sleep."
She mumbled something incoherent and started to slowly drift off to sleep.
Half an hour later Louis was starting to drift off slowly. The thunder boomed one last time and Louis looked to the window.
"Shh! Can't you see she's sleeping here?" Louis asked the sky.
He shook his head in disappointment and shifted so he was comfortable. And with that, he fell asleep protecting his girlfriend from the horrible storm
