warning(s): reader being anxious of the storm.
βitβs just a little rain, nothing more. maybe thunderβs a bit too loud, while the lightningβs too-β
it was those soft murmurs, that bounced throughout the walls of the shared bedroom, that managed to make yeosang stir ever so slightly in his sleep, a low grumble slipping from his lips.
his eyes, that were still heavy with sleep, forced themselves to open despite the oh so tempting urge of just going back to sleep, yet he managed to fight the feeling away as soon as his tired eyes landed on what seems to be a silhouette curled up into a ball right next to him.
it took the male a few seconds to finally let the current situation sink in.
to your own perspective, you were hugging your knees close to your chest with your eyes glued to the window to your shared bed.
it wasnβt that you were terrified of rainy nights, you loved them even! however, it was those particular stormy nights that made you feel a little anxious ever since you were a child. the crackling sound of thunder mixed in with the eerie gusts of wind filling your ears were enough to make your heart increase its pace.
you were so busy with your own thoughts that you had failed to notice your name being called out by your lover, only for you to emit a low yelp as soon as you felt something against your shoulder, ripping your gaze from the window to look at said object, or rather, someone.
yeosang, on the other hand, smiled guiltily at the feeling of your flinch underneath his touch, before properly sitting up on the bed, both hands now sliding down to find your own so he could give it a soothing squeeze.
βare you alright, sun?β
his deep (and not to mention, sleep-induced) voice along with the way the warmth of his hands enveloped your own managed to ease your nerves as a little smile formed itself over your lips.
βthe storm woke me up, βis all. iβm sorry for waking you up, my moon.β you murmured, reaching into the darkness with your free hand to cup his cheek, to which, yeosang leaned into your touch.
βnot at all. how are you holding up? i know how much heavy storms could bother you.β
as he said those words, you could feel him wrapping his arm around your shoulders to keep you close against his side, effectively making you melt in his warm embrace before reciprocating the action by burying your face against his shoulder.
yeosang was never one to show affection easily, whether the two of you are out in public or it is just the both of you in a room. the most he would do out in public would be holding your hand, or an occasional peck on the cheek. despite all that, you were fine with it as you knew that deep down, he has his own way of showing affection towards you.
much like right now, with the way his hand leaving your own to reach up and play with the strands of your hair, his lips brushing against your temple every now and then, and with the way the arm that was around your shoulders pulled you closer to him whenever lightning made its appearance as you brace yourself from the crack of thunderβ¦
you knew just how much love he has for you.
not hearing a response from you, yeosang moved ever so carefully to check up on you, worried that you might burst into tears from the way the storm had not ceased. however, that was not the case.
the corners of his lips tilted up in pure adoration upon seeing that you had fallen asleep in his arms, leaning in to press a feather light kiss against your forehead, and then, with careful movements, the male managed to make you lie down on your side of the bed.
yeosang adjusted the blanket over you to make sure you were all warm and snug before taking one last look, eyes now getting all used to the darkness surrounding the both of you, and how the streetlights from outside, with the occasional lightning, managed to cast a dim light in the room through the crevices of the curtains.
the way your face finally looked at peace during your sleep managed to lighten the weight of concern in his chest, a low sigh out of content leaving his lips as he, too, slowly laid down on the bed next to you.
with a final look of your sleeping form, yeosang inched himself closer to you so he could wrap his arm around your waist, grinning to himself with the way you snuggled closer into his arms, to which that never failed to make his heart run wild.
gently kissing your forehead once more, it was finally time for yeosang to let sleep take over him once more, letting the sounds of raindrops hitting the roof mixed in with your quiet breathing to lull him to sleep.
