scenario; y/n went out on an "errand", leaving natalie alone in your shared room. sometime after you left, a thunder storm began, scaring the girl.

−−−−−

y/n never planned on leaving natalie alone on a day like this, especially since there was a thunder storm scheduled to start sometime today. but, elliot and octavio wouldn't stop pestering the legend about something they needed there help with. so, not wanting to be annoyed the rest of the day by two man-children, y/n gave in and decided to go over to elliots apartment where elliot told them to meet.

before y/n left though, they obviously said something to the love of their life; "i promise i'll be back in less than an hour, and if the storm starts before then, i'll come straight back, okay baby?" the blonde nodded, a light blush dusting across her cheeks due to your nickname for her.

with that, you planted a kiss on the girl's forehead and left, looking back at her just before closing the door.

for the next half hour or so, natalie watched random shows to take her mind off the soon-to-come thunder storm. 'maybe it won't come as soon as we thought,' she told herself. but, as if on cue, the crackle of thunder struck outside, causing the blonde to jump.

her first instinct was to grab a pillow and hide in the corner of the room farthest from the window, which is exactly what she did.

she really couldn't believe herself; a twenty two year old still afraid of thunder storms is pathetic. hell, she basically kills people for a living and she can't even withstand a storm without crying into a pillow.

her negative thoughts began to overwhelm her and the tears that pricked down her eyes eventually slid down her cheeks and crashed onto the pillow that she held tight in her arms. all natalie really wanted was for y/n to get back and for them to cuddle until she fell asleep.

[elliot's apartment]

"i still don't understand why you need my help with your costumes."

"because, amigo," octavio began "everyone else said no, even ajay!"

basically, the situation was that, since elliot's birthday was right around the corner, he wanted to make his outfit look special for the next apex games. and, since octavio is the brunette's best friend, they decided on changing his outfit too. it wasn't as stupid as they thought it would be, but it was still quite stupid nonetheless.

sighing, y/n reluctantly accepted to help them.

maybe ten minutes into figuring out the theme and design of the outfits, the three jumped at loud boom of thunder. well, the two males jumped way more than y/n, but that's not important.

"hopefully it isn't raining on my birthday," elliot joked.

that's when reality hit them; 'natalie..' y/n thought to themselves. without hesitation, they bolted for the apartment door, but not after telling their male friends that they had to leave suddenly.

once out the door, y/n quickly ran for their room where the love of their life sat, scared half to death.

after about two minutes of running, with occasional stops here and there, they were finally at their apartment. in a rush, y/n took out a pair of keys from their apartment to unlock the door. with a swift turn of the key, the door slowly cracked opened, revealing a nearly dead silent apartment, the only noise being quiet whimpers. "y/n..?" a soft voice spoke.

the voice came from the corner of the room farthest from the window where natalie sat with a pillow clutched against her chest. y/n quickly went over to kneel down and hug their lover. they cupped the blonde's cheeks and spoke, "are you okay?"

the girl nodded, her cheeks stained with tears.

y/n then quickly brought her into a hug that seemingly lasted forever.

"i'm never leaving you alone again."
