Naminé sat up, staring blankly out of the window, holding her usual sketchbook in her lap.
There was a storm outside, and the pitter-patter of the rain seemed to calm her.
But every few moments, she let out a small squeak whenever the sky seemed to rumble loudly and a bright light flashed.
Riku leaned on the wall next to the open door, watching the small blonde squeak and squirm at the thunder and lightning. He smiled softly, walking over to her and seating himself right next to her.
He encircled his arms around her thin shoulders, and Naminé let out another squeak, even though the thunder hadn't sounded yet.
"You're afraid of the thunder, aren't you?"
Naminé replied, "I'm a Nobody...I can't be 'afraid'..."
Riku let out a small laugh.
"Naminé, heart or no heart, I think you're afraid of the thunder..."
She said nothing.
"My mother told me to just think that the thunder is the angels bowling..."
She was still silent, and continued to stare out of the window.
Rumble.
And this time, when the thunder rolled, Naminé didn't squeak or squirm.
Again a short silence, but she soon spoke up.
"...Riku?"
The silver-haired teen grunted, as if he was saying "what?".
"...thank you..."
And Naminé soon drifted off to sleep in Riku's arms.
