Pref #33-He Gets Scared
Ashton:
"I really hope the power doesn't go out," you heard your boyfriend say, his face only dimly lit by the TV screen. Almost as if on cue, the TV suddenly went black, leaving you both in the dark. "Shit, shit, shit," Ashton said under his breath. You knew he was afraid of the dark so you immediately felt bad for him. "Ash, baby, c'mere," you said, holding out your hand. He took it as you lead him upstairs to your bedroom. You let go of his hand, pulling the covers of your bed down. You crawled in, laying down and holding your arms open. He crawled into your arms as you pulled the covers back up. He nuzzled his head into your neck and you began playing with the fews curls that were hanging out of the beanie he wore.
"Ash. It's okay, I promise. I'm right here," you comforted him. "Isn't the guy supposed to comfort the girl?" he mumbled into your neck. You laughed before answering, "I suppose. But whatever, free cuddles." This time he laughed, and you could feel him smiling into your neck. "You get free cuddles anytime."
Michael:
"Michael you really shouldn't be playing Slenderman or whatever so late at night, you're gonna get scared," you warned your boyfriend, who was sitting down to play some random horror game. You didn't mind, you weren't easily scared. Michael on the other hand, would be scared if you jumped out from hiding behind a wall. "Whatever just come cuddle with me," he answered, laying on the couch. You listened and crawled into his arms.
Later that night, you had just fallen asleep when you were shaken awake. You opened your eyes to see your Michael with a distressed look. "What's wrong Mikey?" you said, letting out a yawn."Wait. Are you scared?" you asked with a bemused smirk. "No," he said, defeated. You laughed before holding your arms open. "C'mere sunshine, it's okay. I won't let anyone hurt you." He nuzzled his face into your neck. You waited until you heard his soft snores before going back to sleep.
Calum:
"CALUM THOMAS HOOD GET YOUR ASS IN HERE," you screamed at the top of your lungs. "What, are you okay?" he said, rushing into the room with his laptop in his hands. "NO THERE'S A BIG ASS SPIDER COME KILL IT," you screamed once more. At this, he screamed like a girl, then proceeded to jump on the couch. "Hell no! You kill it!" "Fuck no are you crazy Hood?" you said back. "Well what do we do then? We can't keep that thing in our house!" "You kill it, you're the man!" "No you kill it." "Call Ashton then?" "Call Ashton."
Ashton, who lived just down the street, arrived within minutes. "You guys are such babies," he said, easily killing the spider as you and Calum stood with your arms around each other on the couch. "Thanks for killing the spider, now get out of my house Irwin," Calum said, hopping off the couch and holding your hand as you jumped off. "And take that little fucker with you," he added.
Luke:
You were suddenly shaken awake by a terrified looking Luke. "Luke, what's wrong baby? Is everything okay? Are you okay?" you asked hurriedly. "I had a nightmare," he says, a pout evident on his lips. "Aw, sweetheart. You wanna talk about it?" you asked as you sat up. "You were leaving and I couldn't stop you. It was the scariest thing ever," he mumbled. "Luke, I'd never leave you. I'd be a wreck without you. I love you too much, okay? I promise, I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere," you said, rubbing his back. "I'm yours. I always will be," you added.
You lay back down, spreading your arms open. "Come cuddle. Try to get some sleep, yeah? I promise I'll be here when you wake up." He crawled into your arms, burying his face into your shoulder. You sang to him until he fell asleep.
