Midnight Cuddles

The thunder crashed so forcefully it shook the room and rattled the windows. Ash yelped suddenly from his bed clenching his blanket. He blushed and tried to act brave when he saw you staring at him across the room. He managed to lose his strong composure when another flash followed by an immediate boom shook the room once more. "Are you okay?" Ash shook his head pulling his blanket closer.

Not knowing what else to do Mike stood out of bed and walked over to Ash, "Scoot over." he seemed shocked to hear Mike's gentle voice as he moved back against the wall allowing you in his bed.

"What are you doing?" The rain beat down hard against the window.

"When I was little and I'd get scared my mom would let me use her as a pillow." Ash eyed Mike's naked chest with curiosity before another boom sent him into mike's arms. The boy looked even more delicate laying in his arms clinging to Mike as another crash of thunder shook the room. He began to stroke Ash's hair humming the same melody his mother hummed to him.

"Mike, I'm-" Another crack of thunder shook a picture frame off the nightstand sending Ash to bury his face into Mike's chest.

"Shh." He sushed, continuing to hum the soft tune and stroked Ash's hair."You're safe now. I won't let anything happen to you." Mike cooed pulling the blanket up around them both. His soothing baritone managed to calm the frightened Ash enough to lull him back to sleep. The poor exhausted Mike soon followed holding onto Ash's small frame.
