Thunderstorm - Gabriel Landeskog

Y/N's POV

I covered my ears in fear, wide awake. It was the middle of the night and I couldn't sleep.
The thunder groaning and lightning bolts striking every now and then sent shivers down my spine.
I hated thunderstorms since I was little. I just thought they were loud and scary.

Gabe knew it. And everytime there was a thunderstorm, he would always try and comfort me.
But when it was during the night, I didn't want to wake him up, so I ended up curled up in the bed quietly crying, and effortlessly trying to find sleep.

I flinched after hearing loud thunder and before I knew it, tears started to fill my eyes.
I turned my head to Gabe, peacefully asleep.
I didn't want to bother him, but I was scared. So I crawled up to him, burying my face in his chest hoping it would bring me comfort.

The thunder was getting louder and louder, and I started crying again, my whole body shaking.
And that's when I felt Gabe gently running his hand through my hair, his other arm protectively wrapping around my waist.
I was hoping I did not annoy him, but it was such a relief to have him awake with me.

"It's okay", he whispered in my ear before pressing a loving kiss on my forehead.
"It can't hurt you, baby. It's miles away"

I nodded my head, not saying anything.
Tears were still rolling down my cheeks.

The thunder groaned louder and it caught me off guard, making me jump at the sound of the storm outside. I was now shaking and crying even more, and I grabbed his arm tightly, not wanting to let go of him.

"Shhh", he said, rubbing small circles on my back with his hand.
"I've got you. You have nothing to be scared of" he reassured me.

He wiped my tears away with his thumb and held me tighter against him.

Gabe cuddling me made me feel safe and I focused on his heartbeat, slowly forgetting about the thunderstorm.
After a few minutes, my eyes were heavier and I drifted off to sleep in his arms.
